The Dragon Dentist is interesting for any number of reasons. The details and focus are different, but there’s something of the same mindset behind the two projects I think (though Anno’s is more directly a response to a perceived creative death spiral for the medium). It’s tempting to look at Anno Hideaki’s “Japan Animator Expo” as a similar project – an opportunity to give anime a more diverse voice in a time of increasing homogeneity. If Anime Mirai never accomplished anything else, its existence would still be a boon for anime because it produced Death Billiards – which of course gave birth to Death Parade, one of the finest TV anime of the decade (it did other good too, of course, producing occasional brilliant one-offs like Harmonie) and launched the career of Tachikawa Yuzuru.
