In 2013, PES is producing a full animation film with leading directors from the world of anime. On July 5, Internationally renowned directors Toshiyuki Kubooka and Tatsuyuki Tanaka took to the stage to share their thoughts on the PES film. Kubooka is well known for the epic feature-length anime "BERSERK Golden Age" trilogy which created an intricately researched medieval landscape as well as a rich narrative and grand worldview rendered in elaborate realism. Tanaka is active widely, including acclaimed illustrations and manga, as well as in recent years working on production design for live-action films. The event also featured the world premiere of three music videos made as part of the PES project.
