“#Toei Animation Plans to Release Experimental Video "URVAN" in January 2021<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Toei Animation has announced that its new IP research and development team PEROs (Prototyping and Experimental Research in Oizumi Studio) is now working on a five-minute experimental video titled "URVAN"<\/strong> for a release in late January 2021. The clip is set in Sasebo-city, Nagasaki Prefecture, and produced in cooperation with Hitoshi Oba Laboratory at Nagasaki International University's Faculty of Human and Social<\/a> Studies, Department of International Tourism. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The anime<\/a>'s story is described as – "URVAN" is a mysterious and nostalgic cyberpunk action based on the motif of the Obon Festival, which welcomes and sends off spirits, and where the "extraordinary" and the "ordinary" intersect.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The "URVAN" project was launched in the spring of 2020. Due to travel<\/a> restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, however, it became difficult for the PEROs team to conduct on-site interviews and location scouting in Sasebo. Therefore, they took on the challenge of producing an animation without ever visiting the region, utilizing new visual expressions and production methods.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For example, Toei Animation created the background arts based on the landscape photos of Sasebo taken by the students of Oba Laboratory. See the sample images below.<\/p>\n

Also, for the promotion of the anime, the project will collaborate with Minato Aoba<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, a character produced by Oba Laboratory, who has been active on SNS (Twitter and Instagram) as an unofficial tourism ambassador of Sasebo-city.<\/p>\n
