This is one of the efforts to promote the animation industry by Nerima Animation, a general incorporated association consisting of Nerima Ward, where the animation industry is thriving, and animation production companies operating in Nerima Ward. The number of animations produced has been increasing over the past few years, but there is a serious shortage of human resources for the animators who are responsible for the production.
