Absolutely Zero Anime Accomplishments, Experience, or Knowledge
Led by anime industry newcomer Kazuaki Kuribayashi, the youngest ever recipient of the Japan Advertising Agencies Association Creator of the Year Medal, creators from outside the animation-film industry—including advertising, live-action cinema, and music—are joining forces to take on the challenge of producing an original work: KILLTUBE.
Director and creator Kazuaki Kuribayashi, has never created an animated feature film nor have they ever even directed an anime. So can a person like that even create a masterpiece? Of course, everyone would wonder this.
His only weapon is the “creative direction” technique he learned in the advertising industry. It’s a technique where you have to gather ideas from various areas and combine them all together to reach one goal. Those areas can span production, advertising, and even business. After mixing different kinds of blood into all of the processes, what will the end product actually look like? Kazuaki Kuribayashi guarantees that it will be an anime that you’ve never seen before.
Focusing on a world that blends new and old elements of Japanese culture, KILLTUBE is set to be a one of a kind experience aiming to be the next piece of generation defining media.
