This is the thing that confuses me about this project.
Several of the so called youngsters that are being "trained" are already established animators with lots of talent.

I've seen some animators on Twitter saying about what the deal with Animemirai actually is. They can't tell if the project's aim is to train youngsters, is it to　promote creative projects? Why claim "youngsters" when several of the participating animators are 30+, shouldn't they be working with actual youngsters in their early 20s? Etc..

I mean I am glad such creative projects are being made but, to what extent are they being made for and for whose benefit?
