Lookism Is Studio Mir’s First Venture
Into Adapting a Korean Webtoon
In
2010, Yu Jae-Myung, who previously worked as the animation director for Avatar: The Last Airbender's second and
third seasons, founded Studio Mir. According to the website, the studio focuses
on advancement through collaboration, inspired by the Russian space station Mir
launch in 1986 when it made headlines as the first space station ever launched.
As a result, the studio has mainly focused its efforts on international
collaborations. In 2018, Studio Mir announced that it would produce its first
original, Koji, which they describe
as a fantasy/adventure series. This will be Studio Mir's first anime adaptation
of a Korean webcomic.
The anime will premiere on Nov. 4,
exclusively on Netflix.
