In August, one of the Champignon no Majo anime’s main animation production studios, Qzil.la, faced accusations of utilizing AI in the recently revealed Sekiro: No Defeat anime due to its background work. The studio’s website discusses the development of AI technology in collaboration with various partners, and a (now-unavailable) post on the Niigata International Animation Film Festival’s website mentioned an AI-themed presentation involving Qzil.la and Comics Mart, indicating that AI was used to create 60% of the animation for the upcoming The Ideal Sponger Life TV anime.
Regarding Sekiro, Qzil.la released a statement affirming that no generative AI was employed in its creation, and a previous press release indicated that the anime was “fully hand-drawn.”
