Studio Ghibli announces new anime short in production, now recruiting staff to make it

We’re coming up on two years since the release of The Boy and the Heron, the most recent Studio Ghibli theatrical anime.

The job openings were nonchalantly posted on the official Studio Ghibli website, saying that they’re recruiting staff for a new “short animation” project.

No details about the short animation project itself, such as story, characters, or the involvement of specific Studio Ghibli luminaries such as director Hayao Miyazaki, have been revealed.
