Our mission is to build a powerhouse animation studio that has a unique blend between Japanese-styled animation (ANIME) and South African and African storytelling, by producing original IP into featured films and series. Providing a new anime medium that is African inclusive, while keeping a close cultural exchange with Japan. Therefore we aim to be a key animation point for African IP holders and investors looking to get projects animated, while still offering accessibility for international IP holders and investors as well.

South Africa lacks a dedicated anime studio specializing in distribution-ready 2D animation, forcing investors and IP holders to outsource internationally at premium rates and limiting Japan–South Africa co-production opportunities. 1. South Africa has no dedicated Anime studio which is a missed opportunity into a growing global market. 2.Investors and IP holders have a hard time finding South African studios that specializes in 2D animations ready for distributions and need to outsource to international studios at premium rates. 3. South Africa has investible stories with no opportunities to dive into Japanese-styled animated work. 4. No active collaboration opportunities between Japan & South African media such as animation. Lack of available opportunities for skilled animators, artists, directors focusing on 2D work and Anime-styled animations 5. Artists and animators whom studies and specializes in 2D animation and digital illustrative work, doesn't have accessibility to studios in South Africa, with the vast majority focusing on 3D animated work or business vector animations. The industry is excluding an entire pool of talent whom can easily, put together, which I am doing, produce quality work. This studio allows the option for employment and building the industry.

One project at a time will allows us to steadily grow. Assembling freelance teams to always be ready when a bigger project comes in. Continuous education on social media and connecting with corporate to convince them to invest into 2D animations, which will in turn give visibility not just for us, but for the industry. Since the 2D animation part of the industry is so weak, I'm trying to build the foundations from the ground up, apart from the above mentioned, by attending events such as Comic Con Africa and Anime After Hours, I'm able to build a community and fan base around the studios mission.
