The project is aimed at animation directors, key animators, in-between touchup, in-between checkers, and coloring checkers.
The Japanese government’s Agency of Cultural Affairs announced on Monday the four studios that will participate in its “Animation Talent Training Research & Study Project 2020″ initiative.
Tsumugi Akita Anime Lab’s project is titled “Ryūgeki no Kyōkotsu,” with Tsukasa Sakurai (animation director for Monogatari Series Second Season) as director.
The initiative is separate from the Agency of Cultural Affairs’ “Young Animator Training Project,” which aims to train young animators on-the-job.
