MESSAGE
We believe in the power of creativity and storytelling Japanese animation holds. It transcends national, linguistic, and generational boundaries, connecting hearts and creating new values and emotions.

Even in a time when technology and media fronts continually evolve, our mission is to cherish and maximize the creators' aspirations and the fans' enthusiasm.
Bringing Japanese animation into the everyday lives of people around the world.
We will continue to create anime that stays close to people’s lives around the world.
