Students with dreams of breaking into the anime industry have a must-attend event on the horizon. DMM pictures, the anime label of DMM.com, has announced a student seminar and networking mixer scheduled for Monday, August 31, 2026, running from 16:00 to approximately 20:30, at a venue in Minato, Tokyo.
The evening’s headline attraction is Kamiya Hiroshi (神谷浩史), one of Japan’s most prominent voice actors, who will join a DMM anime producer for a special on-stage conversation. The discussion will go behind the scenes of the voice-acting profession, trace Kamiya’s career path, and explore how creative and business decisions combine to maximize a title’s appeal.
Seminar Programme
- Anime Producer Lecture: “The Real Anime Industry” — Covers the production-committee financing model, how anime generates revenue across streaming, theatrical, overseas, and merchandise channels, and the current state of global expansion.
- Special Conversation: Kamiya Hiroshi × Anime Producer — A candid dialogue on the realities of voice acting, career development, and the creative mindset behind hit productions.
Networking Mixer
After the talks, attendees can mingle with DMM Anime Division staff over light refreshments. Questions about job hunting, departmental roles, required skills, and the honest challenges of working in the industry are all welcome. It is also an opportunity to build connections with fellow students. Those who cannot stay for the mixer are free to leave after the talk segment ends.
