Yoshitaka Amano Announces 'ZAN' Anime Adaptation and New Animation Studio at Anime Expo
Yoshitaka Amano, the legendary artist behind Final Fantasy's iconic visuals, announced at Anime Expo the upcoming anime adaptation of his 2013 artbook "ZAN" under his new California-based animation studio.

Key quotes
Drawing by hand is the most direct way to express my imagination. It's something that cannot be replicated by digital tools.
I've always wanted to bring my art to life through animation, and now with ZAN, I finally have that opportunity.
The beauty of hand-drawn art is that it carries the soul of the artist in every line.
