The Kotatsu Japanese Animation Festival was created by organizer Ms Eiko Meredith. Launched in November 2010 at Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff, UK, the festival screens the best in Japanese animation and culture to a wide audience.
Our mission is to spread the joy of Japanese animation and, to this end, we strive to be as accessible and inclusive as possible. Likewise, the films we showcase come from a diverse pool of Japanese creators. We normally screen our films in the original Japanese with English subtitles.
