JAniCA Training Anime Trailer

Last summer the Japan Animation Creators Association (JAniCA) reported that it would sponsor anime studios Ascension, Telecom, P.A. Works, and Production I.G for the development of original 23 minute anime shorts that would be used as hands-on training exercises for new animators under the guidance of experienced directors. The effort, now known as “Project A,” will premiere in Japanese television broadcasts starting March 5.

P.A. Works’s Bannou Yasai Ninninman, directed by Masayuki Yoshihara (Higashi no Eden episode director), will premiere on March 5. Telecom Animation Film’s Ojisan no Lamp, directed by Teiichi Takiguchi (Kara no Kyokai movie 4), will premiere on March 12. Ascension’s Kizuna Ichigeki, directed by Mitsuru Hongo (Outlaw Star, Sakura Taisen), will premiere on March 19. And Production I.G’s Tansu Warashi, directed by Kazuchika Kise (Higashi no Eden movie 2 animation director), will premiere on March 26.

These look great!
