Statement from Next Animation Studio

Recently, there have been unfounded rumors that Next Animation Studio is moving all of its animation production team to Indonesia. Since 2015, Next Animation Studio’s news animation production team has cooperated with a local animation studio in Bali, while maintaining its own animation teams in Taipei. Currently, discussions are in progress to relocate part of this production back to Taipei, and increase the size of the animation team in Taipei. Since its beginning, Next Animation Studio has prioritized cultivating Taiwanese talent, and has shown dedication to developing animation production as well as research and development in Taiwan. In this competitive market, Next Animation thrives by improving its technology and increasing efficiency to meet and exceed quality standards. Spreading untrue information about competitors is not how we operate.

If you hear dubious or suspicious information about Next Animation Studio, please do not hesitate to contact us so that we may clarify on its veracity.

Thank you for working with us to create a healthy competitive market.
