I love Production I.G one of the best anime studios whose works can be called art. One of their first animes I saw was Patlabor and later Ghost in the Shell then the name Production I.G was engraved in my mind regarding that name as high-quality anime.

The interview with President Mitsuhisa Ishikawa covers a bit about the company with a short tour and some anime industry issues:

-Oversupply of Anime in the market.

-3d Animation (western) vs 2d Animations styles. Why 2d animation is more important than 3d.

Bandai Visual licensing issues, Corporate Piracy Fansubs

-High Prices of anime can lead to piracy, thus changing anime according to reward creators.

-Creators should be reward

-Production I.G future goals, making sure future anime productions are different and impossible to replicate.

I do agree to a certain extend about rewarding creators for their hard work, an animator myself, I would be sad to see my own work getting pirated. Although that issue was not really clearly explained. But the interview tour is really Cool! View it below or click on the links.
