About

A brief introduction.

Hello! My name is Marius Wilhelm Jiro Magracia and I am born and raised in Japan, Italy, and Germany! I have loved and respected Animation for as long as I can remember. I started YouTubing as a kid and gained a big following, which motivated me to further study my craft. I completed my studies in Animation at the Filmakademie Animationinstitut in Ludwigsburg, Germany, in early 2024, and Animation Mentor in 2025.

I acquired knowledge in 3D Animation, 2D Animation, Directing, Art Directing and Lead Animation. I had the amazing opportunity to work with mentors from studios like Pixar and DreamWorks to enhance my 3D Animation skills. For me, Animation is a way of living. I love to experience, observe and curiously find more about life itself. I hope to entertain each and everyone with my animations.
