Tokyo Promotional Anime Online

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s “Welcome to Tokyo” tourism promotion website has launched. The site features a map of Tokyo tourist spots, a quiz game about Tokyo sightseeing spots, and an original short anime titled “Honey Tokyo.” The streaming anime short film is viewable in high and standard quality in Japanese language with subtitles in English, Chinese, Korean, German, Italian, Spanish, and French.

Yasuhiro Aoki, director of the “Kung-Fu Love” segment of Studio 4°C’s Amazing Nuts! music video collection and select episode director on 4°C’s Tweeny Witches and Kimagure Robot anime series, drafted the Honey Tokyo character designs, drew the film’s storyboards, and directed the short at Studio 4°C. Reportedly the short was produced at a cost of around 50 million yen ($550,000 USD) funded by the Japanese government.

This anime short is really neat, and really exceptionally well animated!
