Arrived in the city that creates anime

I came to JR Musashisakai Station.In fact, Musashino City is also known for having many animated pro dations and production studios.J in the city.C.In addition to STAFF, Studio Dean, Studio4 ° C, Studio Ponock, Tatsunoko Pro, Production I.G and others also have a company building.

Tsuruso Shio -only

Tsuruso has a notebook and an observation board given in the first interview.If you learn what will be useful for the anime professional ducha's work in today's interview, you will always write down this notebook.

Now, J.C.To STAFF

About 1 minute walk from the station, J.C.Arrived at STAFF.J.C.STAFF is 197 employees and uses 4 floors of the building.From production management to original drawings, videos, finishes, art, shooting, and CG, we do all the work related to animation production.This is very rare, as other animation production companies often outsource some businesses.

First, a light meeting in the conference room.J on the shelf on the wall.C.The packages of successive works that STAFF worked on is lined up.When I asked Tsurusabusa about the work that had been viewed in this, she taught me with her fingers ( *).Above all, "Sakuraso's pet girl" is the second animation I saw in my life, and the heroine's Shiina Midoro Shiina is a favorite character.

* Viewed works: "Witch Craft Works", "Prison Gakuen", "Blessed in this wonderful world!"Is it wrong to ask a dungeon to meet? "Do you like the mother who attacks twice with a general attack?" "Date a Live III""Watching)" A Certain Magical Index "" Toradora! "

Today, we will visit the TV anime "Mucle Dreamy Mikusu!"Tsuruso who usually likes anime of different world reincarnation.I thought that the anime for girls was not very familiar, and that the "Pretty Cure" and "Aikatsu!" Series were naturally seen on TV because my sister was watching on TV.Let's learn about stories and character preliminary knowledge and go around each department.

Production department

It is a department that supervises the whole animation production and manages budgets, schedules, and staff.J.C.STAFF consists of multiple teams consisting of producers, production, progress, and production progress in making one work.Each team decides the story in charge and collaborates with rotation to complete the work.

After coming to the production department, I met again with the anime professional duter Yuji Matsukura, who talked about the previous interview.Matsukura's seat, the director of the production department, was at the back of the floor overlooking the department.Mr. Tsuruso decided to sit in Matsukura's seat, but there are lots of paper bags and cardboard on the floor around it, so he has a hard time reaching a chair.The original novel, manga, and materials of anime are piled up on the desk.

Tsuruso Shio -only これ、何年前の水ですか?

Yoji Matsukura, when the expiration date is?

It is written in June 2020.

Matsukura Ara ... (laughs).

As you can see in Tsuruso, I'm not good at organizing.Can I see anything else?

Matsukura, please.

Tsuruso: I'm really worried about this novel, but will it be the next cool animation?At the time of the title, it's definitely a different world.

Matsukura: Yes, a different world.I can't even say the title to the public because it's still in the planning stage, but I guess you'll see you about three years later.

Tsuruso 3 years later!I'm looking forward to it.

This is the same as Matsukura, producer Atsushi Fujishiro.Let's ask what kind of work he usually does.

Atsushi Fujishiro: To put it simply, it is an overall progress management until delivery.For example, when the scenario comes up from the script, order a storyboard (like a design drawing with a picture and letters).Once you have the director check the storyboard, you will need to order the layout (composition of the screen drawn based on the storyboard).At the time when the work starts, there is also a job to decide while consulting with the director what kind of staff to place.

Tsuruso is absolutely busy.I went to another animation production company on the location of the TV program before, but the atmosphere of the site was tingling because it seemed to be a great deal.After all, there is an image that the anime industry is being chased by time, or working from morning till night.

Fujishiro: Certainly, at the time of the delivery time, you may work late at night, but there are almost no nights.Probably in the world, there may be an image like "the anime industry will not be able to sleep for days", but recently, due to the flow of work style reform, I feel that the whole industry has changed.increase.We are on time from 10:00 to 19:00, and we close the company at 12:00, no matter how late.

To Tsuruso, I will study.It's easy to think it's black, but it's not.

In order to complete the work according to the schedule, sometimes the production department must urge staff who have passed the deadline.Today, Tsuruso will simulate the reminder phone in the setting of the staff of the production department.

Tsuruso Wow, I wonder if I can speak properly.The phone call is almost about the manager.And a water supply company.

Fujishiro: I would like to say, "How about the work situation? How many more cuts have been raised ..."You can lick even if you are too kind, and you shouldn't be too strict.I think it is a little difficult to adjust it.

I understand Tsuruso.

Tsuruso "Oh, hello. J..C.It is a Tsuruso of STAFF, but what about the 30 cuts of "Mucle Dreamy" that I said last time?For the time being, it is about 5 days from the deadline ...Oh, yet?How long will it cost?We're quite close and we don't have to do it by rolling it.As expected, we will not work, so we have to do it without sleeping.Do you want to go tomorrow?Yes, please. "

Fujishiro: Have you ever done it?(smile)

Tsuruso Ahaha!(smile)

Fujishiro Mitsumi is exactly like this.She said she would have to do it without sleeping, but she was very happy to see that it was such a crisis.Well, it is necessary to calculate the amount that can be done without sleeping realistically, but it is a place that can be understood by experience.Well, I think you can come to our department anytime.

Thank you Tsuruso (laughs).I said that the person on the phone would do my best, so I think it will arrive soon.

In the production department, the staff called the setting production is ordered and managed character settings, art settings, and color settings.The drawing precautions of "Mucle Dreamy Mikusu!" Was written as NG that the stuffed animal's eyes were close or there was no white eye.

Tsuruso is also surprised that the height of the stuffed animal is well decided.In the case of "Mucle Dreamy", the size is quite different between humans and stuffed animals, so if it is a composition that reflects only the human feet, it will be difficult to take a stuffed toy.

Development Department

After the production department, departments that are responsible for the actual production, such as the drawing department and the finishing unit, are tied as a “section”.In the production department that is indispensable for the department and staff to communicate, there is a partition between the desks and the desk in the section where it is important to concentrate alone.The drawing department has a drawing director, character design, original drawings, video checks, videos and roles, and 50 animators are working.

Most of the time when joining the company with zero animators, all anime production companies are the first to use the original picture (the picture of the part that is the key part of the movement), and then draw a picture that draws between the original and the original.I will be in charge of.

This time, Mr. Tsuruso will have a tress of a baby cat stuffed toy and Chia that appears in "Mucle Dreamy Mikusu!"The advice on the work is Rei Naito and Sayako Matsuzaki, who have eight years of video history.I just thought I would just trace it with a pencil from the top, and this seemed to be surprisingly difficult ...

Chia is a cheerful girl.She loves hugging.

Naito Rei First, set the original picture on a tap (a tool like a paperweight, a paper -like tool), and layer a pure white drawing paper on top of it.If you turn on the Toles stand electricity, you will be able to see the original picture through the light from the bottom.You will now be able to tress.

Tsuruso Oo.This tap is also very convenient.It seems to be usable everyday.

コミックナタリー J.C.STAFFに行ったら神アニメの監督に偶然出会えたんだがこれは運命だろうか。

As a Naito point, work while thinking about what you are drawing now.If this is the eyes, this is the hand, and if this is a hand, I think that if you are a hand, you can draw a soft line without strangely squeezing.

It's Tsuruso's imagination.

Naito: Yes, my feelings are quite important.The rest is to express the love of the character.

I understand Tsuruso.一発目いくの怖いなー。

First, I started drawing from my head ribbon.Originally, Tsuruso who likes to draw a picture.According to Matsuzaki, he seems to be used to the pencil, and he will continue to carry the brush without hesitation.

I finished drawing the ribbon and contour, and then moved to my eyes.Naito says that his eyes are important parts that greatly change the impression of their facial expressions.Tsuruso -san, I will redraw it over and over again if it will not be a satisfying line.

Tsuruso Akan, the most difficult eyes!I will fix it a little later.

In the second half, he seemed to be getting used to work, and quickly traced the polka dot pattern on the ribbon.

The last is switched to a blue pencil, preparing for the color tress performed by the finish (a technique that makes the line drawing color the same color as the painted part, rather than a complete black so that the boundary between the line drawing and the paint is familiar).After drawing the indicated line, turn the drawing paper upside down and fill the part that will be colored.I applied the front side a little by mistake at first, but it is charming.

If you want to trace this original picture, it will take 30 minutes for professional Naito and Matsuzaki.I expected that it would take about an hour for a beginner, Tsuruso, but after about 40 minutes.

Tsuruso is ready.

Naito is early!

The depth of the Matsuzaki Sayako line is uniform.If there is a place where it is faint, it will not be possible to scan well when turned to the next finish and it will be NG.I don't think I drew it for the first time, so I think it's a very good line.

It was really fun, but it was more difficult than expected.If you draw slowly, the lines will be rattling and dirty, and even if you draw it vigorously, the atmosphere of the line will change.Moreover, when I started drawing again from the erased rubber, I thought it was difficult to get a little off even though I wanted to connect a line neatly from there.

左がTsuruso Shio -onlyがトレスしたカット、右がDevelopment Departmentのスタッフがお手本としてトレスしたカット。

Naito: There is no need to get used to it.Still, it's amazing to be able to draw at this speed.

Matsuzaki That's right.After a few days of training, it seems that the newcomer test of the video will pass (laughs).

Do you think that the two Tsuruso are also videos and they don't work?

Naito: Of course.I'm still not satisfied with my line drawing, and the more I trace what the original painting is drawn, the depressing I get depressed.

I'm sorry that I want to draw it with the line of Matsuzaki's original picture, but I'm not going to that area.I am still training every day.

Please enjoy some videos of Tsuruso's work scenery!

During the video work, a cut bag that has been placed on the desk all the time (a bag for carrying ingredients such as original paintings and videos).He learned from the location of the TV program, and Tsuruso taught me the meaning of the numbers written in the cut bag.In the case of this cut bag, it seems to be the 251st cut in Episode 15.

I asked him to show the cut bags with the correction instructions from the drawing director, and Tsuruso said, "Paka (the line is missing or the color is not painted)" "Park (the character is a scene where the character is lines).I learned a new industry terminology.

As I was doing around, I noticed a Blu-ray of one of the anime that Tsuruso liked, "Boring world where there is no concept of lower story".The owner here is Yohei Suzuki, who is in charge of the director of the TV anime "Maiko -san", which will be broadcast on NHK E -Tele from October.I decided to ask the director's work in various ways.

Do you like Yohei Suzuki "Shimoseka"?It's a strange person (laughs).

Tsuruso Yes, because it's a pervert.Some of the members of JO1 say they like it.

Suzuki That's ...

There is also a Tsuruso "Kinki Cat (a perverted prince and a cat that doesn't laugh)", but was it made?

Suzuki: Yes, you know well.I was a director.

Is it really Tsuruso ...!I like the most.I'm often asked, "What kind of work do you like?"

Suzuki Oh, I'm happy.

It looks like Tsuruso is just playful, isn't it surprisingly solid?That was interesting.

Suzuki: That's right.When I first saw the original pattern, I thought it was just a bright love comedy.But if you think about the theme you are dealing with, it's pretty heavy.I remember how much I was worried about how to balance comedy and serious.And in fact, "Kenko" is the first work I got the director.

Tsurusabusa, was that so?

Suzuki I was doing it without knowing why.I'm not particularly told that the director is doing this kind of work, so basically imitate while looking at people.Even if you say that there is an original, your responsibilities were serious because your own judgment would change what would happen.

The story of the original Tsuruso original will be re -assembled from Ichi.It's a long time if it's a novel, and I don't know the landscape, so I think it's hard.

In Suzuki novel, the psychological depiction of the character is written in detail.But if you make an animation, you'll just read it in narration, so you'll have to save it.There are many parts that could not be an animation of "Kenko", and if you read the original in other works, it would be interesting to notice new.

Speaking of Tsurusabusa, I bought the original a little while ago, because I really wanted to know the continuation of the anime called "Welcome to the classroom of abilities".Then I thought it was a manga, but when I opened the page, it was a novel (laughs).I don't usually read manga, so I was frustrated by the novel.

Suzuki Hahaha (laughs).

I can't say that in Tsuruso if I aim for a producer.By the way, what are the producers who are usually working and easy to do?

Suzuki: I guess he's a person who gives instructions firmly and hears his opinions.I think it's probably completely different from the image of the world, but in fact producers are overwhelmingly greater than the director.So the director does not violate the producer.So when you want to say your own thoughts, I think it would be nice to be able to create a relationship that is easy to do.

Tsuruso.

Suzuki: I usually follow Matsukura's policy, but that doesn't mean I don't like it.I respect Matsukura as a producer, and I think that Matsukura would be correct if this policy was.It's fun to think about what I can do as a director in that decided policy.

In Tsuruso, Suzuki -san, "Kenko" and "Shimoseka" were supervised.If you can make such amazing, I think it's better to be a producer.

Suzuki What are you talking about (laughs)?Well, sometimes both the director and the producer can do it, but it's probably the opposite position in nature.Producers are a job that needs to talk to more people than the director, so I will never work for me who is not good at communication.Compared to that, Matsukura is a communication monster (laughs).That's why Tsuruso -kun is also suitable for producers if he is talking like this.

Tsuruso: Well, I'm not good at chatting with women so much.So when you become a producer, you have to solidify the staff around you with a man.

After the drawing department, go to the finishing part.
