There are 9 special lectures, and on Saturday, November 15th, Gisaburo Sugii, who directed “The Night of the Galactic Railroad” and “Arashi no Yoru ni” Well, on Saturday, November 29th, Mr. Ryosuke Takahashi, who directed “Taiyo no Fang Dougram” and “Armored Troops Votoms”, will be on stage. Even after that, we will provide valuable experiences from the gorgeous instructors unique to Anime Tokyo Station, which is a facility that conveys the charm of anime, such as the famous mechanic designer Kunio Okawara, who is famous for “Mobile Suit Gundam”.
