P.A. Works Training Center Open Campus 2026 Spring Announced
P.A. Works announced an open campus event for its in-house animation training center, set for May 23, 2026, at the studio's Toyama headquarters or a nearby facility. The event is designed for high school, university, vocational school students, and working professionals up to age 25, with limited spots available by reservation. Attendees will participate in two sample lectures, a Q&A session with instructors including director Masayuki Yoshihara (Uchouten Kazoku) and producer Soma (SHIROBAKO), plus current P.A. Works animators who serve as lecturers. The application deadline is May 18, 2026, at noon. The studio noted that the training center is not a school corporation, so it cannot handle visa procedures for foreign applicants. The open campus does not include a tour of the animation workspace, and photography inside the building is prohibited.
