This time, Pionicon will present a project on an international scale. Pionicon will collaborate with one of Japanese animation studio, Asahi Spectra Productions to launch the Spectra Project.

The animation studio has been involved in the production of some famous anime series such as Mobile Suit Gundam, Naruto Shippuden, and One Piece.
Spectra Project will be a cooperation between Pionicon (Indonesia) and Production Asahi (Japan). This project presents several varied stories, similar to how the spectrum of colours have varying wavelengths and frequencies. These stories will have their own uniqueness with a different background for each story.
Three characters will be introduced through the Spectra Project. All three characters have their stories and goals. These characters will be introduced in 3 comic titles, namely The Secret of Aura, Azra and the Minang Family, and Play & Boom. The Secret of Aura presents a school drama with a supernatural twist. Azra and the Minang Family shows the story of a family of Padang Restaurant owner (restaurants selling traditional Padang/Minang cuisine are widespread in Indonesia, courtesy of Minang migrants). While Play & Boom tells the journey of becoming YouTube celebrities in Indonesia. All of these comics come in one-shot format.
The three comics from Spectra Project will be shown to the public during Popcon Asia 2016 event in August 12 to 14, 2016. Visitors can also fill out a survey to choose their favourite comic from the Spectra Project. In addition to the Popcon event, these comics will also be displayed on the website so that readers can read online and fill out a survey.
The comic with the highest polling in the survey will be developed further into a serialized comic. In addition to the serial comic, it is possible also that the comic will be released as a motion comic.
