Studios anime producer Yoshihiro Tominaga spoke to Men's Non-No magazine about
the company's long-term plans. To respond to the growing demand for
high-quality anime that can be produced quickly, such as “Kimetsu no Yaiba” and
“Jujutsu Kaisen,” the company has announced the launch of PIERROT FILMS.
“ This
studio will produce original works as well as works based on adult manga
(seinen) ,” says Tominaga. “ The next season of BLEACH:
Thousand-Year Blood War will also be produced at PIERROT FILMS. I think this
work is aimed at people who have already seen Kimetsu no Yaiba and Jujutsu

short period of time, while firmly reinforcing the studio's brand power “.

so please pay attention to it, as well as many series works currently being
released. pause. Please stay tuned for the future of Pierrot,
