It's a good thing, 2D animation is too labour intensive, this would free up the labours for other more productive industries. Most of Japanese animations are just derivative works with little creativity anyway, exactly the stuffs that would get automated by machines, I hope that this would shake up the industry and push it in a better direction.
Thank you for posting this! Great to know what's happening with Ai over in Japan and how it's effecting creatives in the Anime industry.
