OUR PROMISE TO YOU
Thank you for reading this far! Seriously, great job! We don't expect you to follow our rules for nothing. That's why we're promising you two things in return:
改善
Our first promise to you is 改善 (Kaizen).
Kaizen is the Japanese process of continuous improvement. This means that Animarathon will reflect itself continuously to the benefit of both itself and the community around it.
A Good Time
Our second, but even more important promise to you, is a good time.
You've earned it.
