Animation" does not just mean "moving the manga." It is a very creative act that is reconstructed through visual and animation direction by the director who coordinates all the artists in charge of each section, such as animation, art, sound, and photography. Depending on who and how the work is created, it can take many different forms. This story is also the story of such a "creator". Please look forward with excitement to seeing what kind of "Visual Image Laboratory" will be created by the dream team led by Director Yuasa!

Director Masaaki Yuasa
Hasn't everyone had the thrill of drawing a secret base when they were a child?
The sensation of actually creating a space out of your own ideas?
The "Visual Image Laboratory" is filled with the real thrill of creating something like that.
We are in the business of making animated films, so even though we find it difficult, we hope to use our experience to show you fresh images that may not be as surprising as you think.
