Innovators of Japan Anime

Rare access to animation filmmaker Oshiyama Kiyotaka (Look Back) allows cameras to follow as he dives into creating his latest film. Having honed his skills under legendary titans Miyazaki Hayao and Anno Hideaki, Oshiyama's process astonishes. It is one where he wears many, many hats. Also, interviews with the creators of the Academy Award-winning "Magic Candies", as well as A-list directors from the world-renowned production house MAPPA reveal the current state and concerns for the future of the anime industry.
