Three companies, including Starry Cube, which plans and produces anime, Yoyogi Animation Academy, which runs an anime and entertainment specialist school, and Andraf, who has worked on the anime “Jujutsu Kaisen,” have announced that they have co-founded an animation production company called “Aurora Animation Co., Ltd.”.
All three companies that have gathered together have anime-related businesses. First, Starry Cube Co., Ltd. was founded in 2018 as a company that plans and produces anime and delivers Japanese content and culture around the world. He has also worked on a wide range of game adaptations and game collaborations.
So far, they have been saying, “Awa Ren-san Can’t Be Away”, “Jashin-chan Dropkick”, and “Devil King Retry!” R” “I fell in love with my science student so I tried to prove it. He produced ” and other works, and achieved 100 million views worldwide in many series. Currently, more than 10 films are being planned, including original anime and popular original anime.
The following is Yoyogi Animation Academy Co., Ltd., a company that operates an anime and entertainment specialist school of the same name. Andraft Co., Ltd. is led by Nakayama Ryu, who has worked on TV anime such as “Jujutsu Kaisen” and “Chainsaw Man.”
Three companies with different strengths have established Aurora Animation Co., Ltd. with the aim of creating an environment that aligns with creators and creating works full of high quality and creativity.
In the future, we will be running an animation production business targeting the Japanese and global markets. The CEOs of the three companies also commented on the matter. The future business development is attracting attention.
Starly Cube CEO/Aurora Animation Director: Aizawa Ryo
The origin of the anime, “Anima,” means “soul” or “life.” This is a work that contains the souls of many people and lives.
The finite and irreversible manufacturing site is truly precious and crude. That’s why I hope that the creators will receive as much money as possible and be happy.
This is not easy, but I believe that this can be achieved with Yo-Ani-sama, who has been facing the suffering and joy of young creators for about half a century as a school, and Andraft, an innovative studio that values people while possessing the world’s finest technology.
Yoyogi Animation Academy CEO/Aurora Animation CEO: Hashimoto Daiki
Since its founding, Yoyogi Animation Academy has been working to pass on technology and develop human resources in order to contribute to the Japanese animation industry.
However, after witnessing the recent changes in the industry, we thought it was essential to have a deeper understanding of the needs of creators and studios and have a place to practice in order to provide the education necessary for the coming era.
We are extremely honored to be able to establish a new animation production company together with Starry Cube, who has planned and produced many works, and Andraft, who has outstanding skills but values creators.
This opportunity will contribute to further development of the industry and create an environment where next-generation creators can play an active role.
Andraft CEO/Aurora Animation Director: Nakayama Ryu
We participated in this project with the aim of creating a comfortable working environment in the anime industry and supporting the growth of young creators.
By collaborating with educational institution DaiAni and planning and producer Starry Cube, we will realize studio management that utilizes a multi-faceted perspective.
Under a stable production environment, we strive to create high-quality works, and provide a place where creators can grow with peace of mind, pursuing new creative possibilities.
