SPP Online!!!

Well… This year has been eccentric so far! With the pandemic still going and every beloved convention canceled, it’s been a breath of fresh air to be able to attend one of our favorite ones online!!! Once more, SPP has left a mark on us! We love this convention! It’s been super well organized, the staff has been super kind and receptive (it’s awesome that they have translators), and we have been amazed to meet all these companies from Asia!!! Attending SPP allowed us to introduce ourselves to new companies and to learn about them so hopefully we can work together in the future!

The convention highlight for us has been the Biz-Matching program. It was very easy to enroll and use, and once we filled out our information, it was extremely useful to track the companies we might be interested in - and for them to track us! This shared information through SPP made for great conversation starters and facilitated a lot of our company research, as it’s sometimes hard to find the right websites due to the language barrier. Thankfully, SPP had it all organized and in English for us! Also, they adjusted the duration for a longer convention time, so it’s easier to schedule those meetings from overseas!

We’re looking forward to it again next year, hopefully in-person!

Thanks SPP!

Thanks Project Anime LA 2019!!!

It’s time to look back on one of the exciting new conferences we attended this year: Project Anime: Los Angeles!! A biannual conference between Tokyo and Los Angeles, this was the first year that Project Anime provided two different tracks: one for conventions, and one for the anime industry!!!

With speakers from all parts of the industry - producers, directors, toy designers, etc. - we learned a lot about the differences in animation development and production in Japan, the challenges of adapting Japanese properties for global audiences, the power of merchandise, and more! What was really special was how easy it was to talk with everyone, even before the networking reception. Between the many inspirational panels, we made new connections, new friends, and even snagged some sweet Yokai merch for our shrine!!

Here’s hoping to see you next year Project Anime!!!

We got extremely lucky to find ourselves in Korea at the time of the SPP!!! We were ins Asia for another reason (seeeecretssss!!!!) and luckily we stumbled upon that convention, the timing was just perfect! Was super easy to sign in, the staff was super nice and responsive! And we took fully advantage of their Business Meeting program. We filled up our schedule and we meet with great new companies and some familiar ones!

We also got the luck to hear very inspiring panels and to attend to some of the competitions finale. The whole convention was very English-friendly and the attendees were super duper nice.

Plus.. Korea… Is such a beautiful and inspiring country. We felt so lucky of being part of this Adventure!
