I think I said this before, and forgive me if I am wrong, but it seemed like in the older days anime companies were a little more confident in giving youngsters a spotlight to shine. Be it via Anime intros(Obari and Dragonar), OVA productions (Bubblegum Crisis gave Takeshi Honda a peg up) or being scouted to work on big time films (Akira and Inoue, or was it Ohira?) etc.. With Animemirai it seems to focus is nurturing that young talent, but via a different avenue, which I think is good for a medium which is slowly dying around the world.
