  • A day in the life of a Japanese Anime Director in Tokyo Japan working in an Anime Production Studio. This is the typical work day in Japan of an anime director from morning his morning routine, daily work activities, all the way to nighttime. The Japanese work culture in an animation production studio is unique on it's own as it requires 200 people to make one episode alone. This average work day in Japan at an anime studio highlights the passion each worker has for their job and how they all work together to create a Japanese anime series. Shu, the anime director, is currently directing an anime called, MAYONAKA PUNCH, meaning Midnight Punch. Working directly for the P.A. works animation studio and the Kadokawa publishing company. On his 2nd series he worked at this studio for about 10 years now. So Shu works as a freelancer, which is rather typical in Japan’s anime industry as they make up almost 70% of its workers. For Shu, this means his work location changes depending on his client projects. Currently, his primary studio though is in Kodaira which allows him to bike to work, but this morning he needs to head directly to the voice recording studio first. Today, the team is recording one episode which is 24 minutes long with the Seiyu voice actors. It takes about 4-5 hours on average but if there’s an issue, it’ll take as long as it needs until they can get it right. That is how this anime director's day starts, but then will move onto more tasks throught the day.
    Anime English Title: MAYONAKA PUNCH
    Synopsis: Meet Masaki, the now former member of a popular NewTuber group. After getting fired unexpectedly via a livestream, she joins forces with a partner with superhuman abilities. Together, they aim to create sensational content and hit 1 million subscribers.

      @@this_dude5307 Yes! I was also gonna say this but I want to add that P.A. Works is such an underrated studio in general because 1. they treat their staff above average and 2. they do a lot of anime originals which never get as much attention as anime adapted from manga and LN's. "Akiba Maid War", "Charlotte", "A Lull in the Sea", "Angel Beats!", "Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms", and "Hanasaku Iroha" are all original anime that PA Works have made and I recommend watching all of them as well as Shirobako!
      At least watch Akiba Maid War, Charlotte, and Angel Beats if you want to be picky. PA Works is a rare breed that need to be protected since there just aren't enough original anime being made that isn't being funded by Netflix. Also, not an anime original but "Skip and Loafer" which PA did is also really good; it got me to read the manga and I just love all the characters. I'm currently watching their new original Mayonaka Punch as its airing but... it's okay. It's cute and funny but its really lacking in a lot of ways, I give it a 6/10. Good animation but the story and characters are pretty lacking.

    • @inisipisTV
      @inisipisTV 27 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I used to work in Animation. Did American TV and Japanese TV series. Production starts at mostly a Year or so before actual Broadcast, so it’s not really 1 episode per week. When the Series Broadcast catch up on actual Production there are usually 3 to 4 Groups of Animators who each does one episodes. That’s why there are multiple Animation Director and Episode Directors, giving Key Animators 3 to 5 Weeks of actual Production.
      The entire Production System is compartmentalized with different Divisions like In-Betweeners, Clean-Up Artists, Digital Ink and Paint, Compositing, Editing… etc. All working at the same time, so most jobs are actually Overlapping with each other when in Production.
      Most Studio pay by the Output not by regular time check-in schedule, like other jobs. An Animator is paid by the “Footage" (16 frames) or "Seconds" (30 frames) of work. [Take not; When I say 30 Frames, the Animator doesn’t necessarily draw each frames, usually we draw in 2’s or 3’s depending on the scene, so for a 30 frame work we might just draw only 10 to 15 drawings, sometimes even much less, the rest are drawn by the In-Betweeners)
      There’s a minimum Quota an Animator must deliver per week, but if the Animator want’s to earn more money, he would asks or volunteer for more "Scenes" to work on from the Animation Director. A lot of Jobs can be done at Home, specially if you’re a Journyman Animator. You can actually take it easy and just do the minimum work needed and have extra time for yourself. But, if you really want to earn big money or want to climb the Studio ladder quickly, you really have to outperform your other co-animators in the Studio.
      That’s where the job of a Production Assistant or Production Manager came in. It’s their job to keep track of every "Scenes" being made. Check that it’s being done on schedule. Check that they’ve been passed and Checked by the Animation Director and Episode Director. See that they’ve been passed on to Digital Painting department and so on.

    Thank you so much for this Day in the Life. Animators work SO HARD. In an industry that pushes them every day to go faster, it's so eye opening to see the level of effort mere seconds of the final product takes. This is no glamorous job... every day they are giving their all because this is what they are passionate about. If you are an anime consumer, value quality over speed, these people need proper rest. I highly recommend the movie "Anime Supremacy!", if you liked this Day in the Life I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
