In our interview, Nobuyoshi Nishimura told how he entered studio Dove through a call to applications in magazine Animage.
A Japanese user found a similar call from the September 1978 issue of Iwaki's local journal, when Dove was still named Sunlight Pro!

We attended the premiere of "Mars Express" 2 days ago and.. What can we say! The film blew us away, and the Q&A was equally fantastic.

Jérémie Périn's project is one of the most ambitious French movies in recent years. A must watch for anyone who enjoys good cinema (anime enjoyer or not!).

Sadly, plans changed... but we're still stoked for this new episode and hope it'll delight all Pluto fans! 🕵️

Toshiyuki Inoue allowed us to have a look at the storyboards for 'The Boy and the Heron'.

It's fascinating to witness Miyazaki's way, while today's storyboards tend to be very detailed, his leave space for the animator's creativity...to then correct everything the way he wants it! 😂
