Anime can communicate IP details to a wider range of users than manga, so more new works are in demand. However, while 14,000 new manga titles are created each year, anime production requires a large number of people, over 100 people, and is limited to only around 300 titles produced each year. Against this background, there is a need to create an environment where even individuals can create anime. By utilizing AI technology as a support tool, “TETTOU” aims to break through this limitation and create more high-quality anime content in the short anime market such as YouTube and TikTok. ■What is “social anime” defined by KaKa Creation “Social anime” proposed by KaKa Creation aims to provide content that can be easily enjoyed in a format that suits the consumption habits of modern viewers by providing short and frequently updated anime on platforms such as YouTube and TikTok. I am. Providing quality content is also an important factor. Maintaining visual quality and storytelling, we provide content with a large number of cuts and a high level of storytelling. Using AI technology as a support tool, we aim to realize quick and high-quality animation production. ■About the future of “TETTOU” and the work lineup “TETTOU” plans to take advantage of the platform and reflect the voices of viewers in its works in real time. We will create a new form of anime that flexibly incorporates viewer feedback and ideas and grows the work together with fans. Through “TETTOU,” we aim to open up new possibilities for anime production and create anime original IP that can be used globally. With an innovative production flow that utilizes AI as a support tool, we will breathe new life into the anime industry and provide new value to both creators and fans.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauu There are moments when I get a little irritated. What if our little irritations were actually created by someone else? Ah-Mo and his friends are the lowest of the devils who collect the annoyance of others in order to become great devils. Actually, those moments of irritation were the result of the efforts of the cute little devils who were trying their best to become great devils.

I aimed for an adorable form and color that you can somehow forgive even if you know that. They are seriously aiming to become great devils, so please watch over them warmly. ・Rabitto Habitto

A place that satisfies various human desires. A night job comedy anime that revolves around the girls’ bar “Rabitto Habitto” run by a bunny girl at such an unusual inn! “Rabitto Habitto”! What kind of story will be born tonight? ▼YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@girlsbar_rabbit_habit ▼TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@rabbit_habit_ ▼X
https://x.com/rabit_habit Ryu Tachino This time, it was a new attempt for me to mainly use AI, but as I was trying my hand at creating it, I felt that animation created by AI had a promising future. I’m excited that when anyone can use this technology, things that were previously considered difficult to express will become possible, and we will be able to create even more interesting animation works. ・Meme stuff

Uncle, an old otaku who has become a girl by chance, and Riko, a modern high school girl who is a digital native. A loose and slightly boring story about the daily lives of two people who are complete opposites. Net meme comedy anime is born! ▼YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@meme-no-yatsu ▼TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@meme_no_yatsu ▼X
https://x.com/meme_no_yatsu <Character Design> popman3580 Internet memes and entertainment are created every day, but I feel that some of them can even be called new art forms. The character “Uncle” is like a living dictionary that has been looking at internet memes since their birth, and the bandana and gloves were designed as a symbol of this. I myself belong to this older generation, but I would like to enjoy the world of internet memes once again with the simple-minded high school girl “Rico.” ■Other upcoming TETTOU 1st season lineup (Coming soon) ・TOKYO KOWAII GIRLS *Scheduled to be released around February 2025

Four characters, led by the main character Ichiko, take on a series of strange phenomena that occur in Tokyo and face unknown fears. This work features a unique art style that makes full use of AI technology, and the realistic animation enhances the terrifying world view. Tetsuo Hirakawa A newspaper with the future written in it, a phone call from another world, a dead person marking LINE as read, etc… Scary stories come as technology advances. With the rapid development of AI, there will probably be scary stories of a new era. This kind of generative AI-like eeriness was exactly what we needed for the new type of urban horror animation we were creating. Rather than creating something because of AI, we aim to create expressions that are possible only because of AI. That is the animation that “TOKYO KOWAII GIRLS” aims for. Please stay tuned. <Character Design> dada Although it is a horror work, it is set in Tokyo and the main character is a high school girl, so I was involved in the design with an eye toward creating a stylish and modern character feel. This work is full of challenges that are only possible because it is a new animation work that utilizes AI. I’m really looking forward to what’s next.
