Hi! :D This has been on my mind for 3 years. Ahem:
Kotoba Studios is an upcoming anime parody channel focused on creating short-form, episodic anime trope content, and reinterpreting them in creative and unexpected ways! This is a long-term project currently entering its early production phase. The immediate focus is on producing small-scale pilot parodies (1-5 minutes) to establish tone, workflow, and team structure. But first, we're gonna need writers, producers/directors, server moderators, VAs, Audio Engineers, Thumbnail Artists, and Video Editors.
My Co-Producer & I are currently looking for dedicated staff & crew members who are interested in helping build the foundation of the youtube channel and our future content. While this is an early-stage production, the intent is to maintain a structured, organized, and quality-focused environment, so we can eventually move the channel to upgrade from unpaid, to deferred/paid status in the future.

No, AI will NOT be used, your submissions will NOT be submitted to AI or saved or used before casting (especially without permission), and never will be. There are no agreement documents of any kind to sign, either.
---
For VAs, Artists, Leads, Producers/Directors, & Writers:there will be 6 active content types we are needing you all for:
JUJUTSU KAISEN
GACHIAKUTA
CHAINSAW MAN
DEMON SLAYER
DAN DA DAN
SPY X FAMILY
Writers, please do your best to make a short (or long) script based on any of the series listed above. One page is fine. Please see the characters we will need, and base your scripts off of them. It does not need to include everyone.
Everyone member, including Server Mods, may have 2 roles (subject to change), so choose your strongest first!! Server Mods may not be a Lead for a department, but they can be part of Kotoba in any other way provided.
