The future Colored Pencil Animation Group work towards

The animation market in mainland China is anticipated to keep growing in the future. We believe Japan and China cooperating in animation production and IP creation will support the growth and accelerate global projects that are beyond the Japanese market.

The popularization of growing streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video is also another factor of the growth of the market.
We at Colored Pencil Animation Group (CPAJ) also look to expand our business overseas, centering around Japan and China. We will continue efforts to produce high-quality animation and create joint IP in cooperation with Japan.
