COMMENT
I believe that creating something and putting it out into the world is an inherently gritty endeavor. All you can do is struggle through that muddy water. I actually feel a deeper connection with people who can only live this way, and I want to share that same sensibility with them.
Why begin this challenge now?
Because we believe that shining a light on the talent that will sustain the future of animation-and nurturing their creativity-is both our responsibility and our pride.
This challenge is not confined to Japan. It is a project supported by the entire Toei Animation Group, whose reach extends across the world.
Not as a fleeting initiative, but as a sustainable endeavor.
A new brand created to cultivate creativity for the next 100 years.
-That is ETERNA Animation.
