The international animation film festival “Tokyo Anime Award Festival 2021 (TAAF2021)” will be held in Ikebukuro, Tokyo from March 12 to 15, 2021.
The 8th “Tokyo Anime Award Festival” is a film festival for the purpose of contributing to the promotion of animation culture and industry, including screenings of domestic and foreign invited works, competitions, and workshops. It was scheduled to be held from March 13th to 16th in 2020, but due to the spread of the new Corona Virus infection in Japan, the entire schedule was canceled.
