URVAN

URVAN is a collaborative anime between Toei Animation x Nagasaki International University. It is a cyberpunk-esque short in which shows the sights of Sasebo, a city in the Nagasaki prefecture.
"URVAN" refers to the ancient Avestan word "urvan (spirit)" from the seventh century B.C., which is said to be the origin of the Japanese word "Obon" or "Urabone", a Japanese custom to honor the spirits of one's ancestors in the middle of August.


Set in Sasebo-city, Nagasaki Prefecture, this anime is a mystical and nostalgic cyberpunk action based on the motif of Obon, the festival of welcoming and sending off spirits, where the "extraordinary" and the "ordinary" intersect. The real landscape of Sasebo is transformed into a cyberpunk world, and a mysterious man and woman run through the mysterious city.
