Naman Ramachandran Aura Prods. has revealed a strategic partnership with Vidu, the AI-driven content creation platform from ShengShu Technology, to produce an original anime series using advanced artificial intelligence animation technology.

The announcement, made during Hong Kong FilMart, details plans for a 50-episode short-form anime series slated for release across major social media platforms in 2025.

The project aims to redefine digital entertainment by fusing AI capabilities with traditional narrative techniques. Tenten Wei is the head producer for the show. “Aura’s artwork piqued my interest since it has an American storytelling style while having a Japanese art style.

Typically, art styles used in American comics and animations lack the striking style present in Japanese manga and anime, making them less memorable and less interesting to the newer generations,” said Luo Yan, producer at Aura Prods.
