Anime is one of Japan’s most famous cultural exports. Despite the local and global popularity of these animations, almost all of these are produced by an army of underpaid and overworked animators. One man, Mr. Sugawara, however, is working to try and support as many struggling animators as possible. Already having built a dormitory for animators, he is now working towards giving these animators more opportunities to take creative control of their own work, and is currently aiming to build a production studio that aims to give better benefits and job opportunities for young animators.
Thanks to Sugawara Jun for sharing his story

Our vision is to build a lasting grassroots movement of young people from every country to report on real social and cultural issues. We believe having meaningful discussions with people with different opinions is extremely important. We also believe that any ordinary person can deliver real news and commentary. Through our original and in-depth interviews of real people, we will challenge you - the global youth - to think critically and challenge various cultural and social issues.
