Young Animator Training Project/Anime Mirai

In 2010, the Agency of Cultural Affairs of Japan invested 214 million yen (over 2$ million) in the so-called "Young Animator Training Project" (or "Anime Mirai" as of 2013) and entrusted the execution of the project to the Japan Animation Creators Association (JaniCA). In the following years JaniCA produced several original anime in cooperation with different production studios, continuing to receive money from the Japanese government. Each of the single episode anime was 23 minutes long. Young animators will receive on-the-job-trainings under the supervision of professional anime creators as the works are shown on TV and/or at anime events. This club is dedicated to these special episodes. More information available here.
