Anime Industry Rings In 2015 With Art And Videos


Happy new year, readers!

As we enter 2015, we’ll inevitably see the flood of new year’s wishes and greetings from our favorite titles and publications. Fan favorites like Shirobako or High School DxD are greeting this new year in style, with gorgeous artwork and generally playful presentation.

We’ve collected a few of our favorites below:

In addition to the artwork, publisher Lantis posted a four-minute greeting from super-group JAM Project. In it, the groups tease a special 15th anniversary project, and detail how fans can take part.

The group is planning to release several CDs this year, including a special deluxe pack to celebrate the big anniversary. Since this is a fan-centric release, JAM Project asks that their loyal listeners send their picks for the song that should appear in this deluxe edition. In addition, fans can submit portraits of the group, to be featured on the album art or in the liner notes.

Illustrations must be submitted to jamproject15th(at)lantis.co.jp as JPG or PDF files, with a maximum size of 3MB.
