Plott to Enter Terrestrial TV Anime With Three Short Series Next Year
Plott announced it will produce three short anime series for Japanese over-the-air television, handling planning, production, licensing and merchandising itself.
Plott announced on Tuesday that it will enter the terrestrial television anime business next year, according to animenewsnetwork.com. The company plans to run three short anime series, one after another, on Japanese over-the-air television.
Plott will handle planning, production, licensing, merchandising and other business development for those titles. More details about the titles will be announced at a later date.
