How Saudi Arabia is creating its own anime industry

RIYADH: For decades the anime market in Saudi Arabia has been driven by dubbed imports from Japan. But all that is changing, thanks to a new breed of creators and producers. At the center of the shift is Manga Productions, a subsidiary of the Mohammed bin Salman Foundation Misk, which is focused on nurturing local talent, producing original material and working with Japanese studios to build expertise. The ambition is not to make animation that looks Japanese but rather to create high quality content filled with Saudi culture, history and identity.
