Harmonising animation, live action and storytelling with a purpose – the SK-II VS Series is an animated anthology that grapples with themes related to the societal pressures women experience daily.

The SK-II VS Series comprises six films that feature world-class Olympic athletes who face off against personal “kaiju” – or “strange beast” in Japanese – that represent a raft of stressors they’ve faced: Trolls, image obsession, self-doubt, rules, limitations and machine-like mindsets. The main characters in the series have come too far to let the kaiju win – they’re all female athletes at the top of their game, each on a personal journey to change her destiny.
