Earlier this month, I got to help organize Kasagi Labo’s Anime Masterclass — and it still feels a bit surreal. Many thanks to the team for making it all happen! (Kendrick Wong, Yi Li T., Chih Yeong VOO, Tony S. Izumi, Amelea, Ching Huang, Bryan Tan, William Goi) Meeting and speaking with Masao Maruyama in person was an incredible honor. He’s been involved in so many works that I’ve watched and loved over the years — Paprika, Dennou Coil, Summer Wars just to name a few — and hearing him talk about the process behind some of his key works such as Perfect Blue offered a perspective I really appreciated. Grateful to have been part of it, and for the chance to learn from someone whose work has inspired so many of us. 🌟
We were honored to host a private master class led by #MasaoMaruyama, one of the pioneers in the #anime industry and a trusted advisor to Kasagi Labo. As the founder of #Madhouse, #MAPPA, and #StudioM2, Maruyama has shaped generations of storytelling through landmark titles such as Ninja Scroll (1993), #BattleAngel (1993), #DeathNote (2006), #DevilMayCry (2007), and #HunterxHunter (2013). Our masterclass brought together investors, regulators, producers and super fans, creating a rare environment for open dialogue on the evolving anime landscape, and to build momentum for Kasagi Labo's upcoming anime production initiatives. The closed-door session explored how creative development down to financing and distribution are transforming as global audiences and technologies converge. This gathering reflects Kasagi Labo’s mission to revamp the way anime IPs are produced and scaled, bridging Japan’s creative excellence with global collaboration and innovation. Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us and shared their passion for storytelling. This is just the beginning of what’s to come. #KasagiLabo #AnimeProduction
