This time, to commemorate the award in the “Achievements in Animation Category” of this film festival, it has been decided that the theatrical animation “AKIRA 4K Remastered”, in which Shizuo Kurahashi, one of the award winners, worked on the sound effects, will be screened. During the four days of the exhibition, a special show will be held for the “Anime Merit Category winners.”
4K Remastered ” It is an international animation film festival that developed the Tokyo Anime Award independently. The aim is to contribute to the discovery and development of new human resources, the promotion of animation culture and industry, the appeal of Tokyo, and the promotion of tourism in Tokyo. Under the slogan, “Tokyo will become the hub of animation,” high-quality and highly original works worldwide will be screened in Tokyo.
