WIT STUDIO, one of Japan's leading animation studios, has launched a crowdfunding project to raise global awareness!
WIT STUDIO, a Japanese animation studio that has produced a series of popular animated films, has launched a crowdfunding campaign to promote the studio's 10th anniversary.
We need your help to bring the energy and enjoyment of WIT STUDIO's creators to the world!
WIT STUDIO is an animation production studio that has produced many hit animations, including the smash hit TV animation Spy x Family, the Galaxy Monthly Award winning Ranking of Kings, and the blockbuster anime feature Bubble, which is currently streaming worldwide on Netflix.
Celebrating their 10th Anniversary, WIT STUDIO will start a crowdfunding campaign to promote the studio to anime fans outside of Japan.
■To boost the worldwide recognition of WIT STUDIO■
Since 2012, we have produced various animations over the 10 years, but it seems not many people know about us as an animation studio. We have a strong desire to bring our contents to anime fans around the globe. Although there were opportunities to communicate with fans at physical events in Japan, we would like to celebrate our 10th anniversary by letting anime fans around the world know more about our works and us!
We truly need your support to boost the studio recognition!!
■We will be exhibiting our booth at our first overseas event!■

■Crowdfunding to connect anime fans around the world with WIT STUDIO■
We also believe that it is not possible to communicate with our fans only by exhibiting at booths. We are launching a crowdfunding project so that we can implement as many measures as possible to communicate directly with our supporters beyond the borders of countries and regions! We are preparing many rewards that will allow you to communicate with our staff! Please support us in our efforts to raise awareness of WIT STUDIO!

In the 10 years since WIT STUDIO was established, we have worked hard with all of the founding members to produce many works, including Attack on Titan (Seasons 1-3), Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, Bubble, and Spy x Family. We will keep on producing new content in the future, and with newly talented creators and energetic production teams emerging within the studio, we will continue to create animations for everyone to enjoy.
