Tegaki
Animation, AI and Creative Consent: AI Journal publication
Marunouchi Animation Labs Press published a contribution in AI Journal about Tegaki, consent, process transparency, and creative labor.
On 5 October 2026, AI Journal published *Animation, AI and Creative Consent*, a contribution credited to Marunouchi Animation Labs Press.
The article uses Tegaki as a case study. It follows Nozomi’s drawings being used without her consent, then traces the public accusations that follow when an AI tool tab appears during her livestream. The article also describes how directing, manual work and generated material contributed to the finished film. That account still does not settle questions about training, permission, or creative labor.
It distinguishes a record of production choices from the broader questions those choices raise. Readers can follow the film’s production journal, read the external article, and reach their own conclusions.
