What is
TOKYO ANIME NEXT

— Connecting Animation with the World:
A Prologue to the
New 2027 Animation Festival —

Tokyo Anime Next is a one-time special event
organized by
the Association of Japanese Animations (AJA)
in collaboration with
the Tokyo Metropolitan Government,
to launch a new annual animation festival
that will debut in 2027.

We are looking for
compelling features and short films
from around the world
to be showcased in our program,
offering a premier platform
to reach Japanese audiences and media.

On the event's closing day,
a spectacular grand finale
will take place at
TOKYO TATEMONO Brillia HALL
(Ikebukuro, Tokyo).

Blending a live orchestra with cinematic visuals,
this gorgeous performance
will symbolically showcase
the present and future of animation.

Furthermore, during the finale,
we will unveil the vision
for the upcoming 2027 festival.
