Japanese animation wants to be in Southeast Asia? Toshio Suzuki talks about the future of the industry

Speaking of Toshio Suzuki, I believe many anime fans will not be unfamiliar. Studio Ghibli has been able to achieve its current status thanks to the excellent work of directors Hayao Miyazaki and Takahata, as well as Toshio Suzuki, who is the producer. So what does this "meritorious veteran" think about the future of Japanese animation? Recently, Toshio Suzuki himself discussed this issue with the title "The fate of Ghibli and creation: The Japanese-American animation war began". The details are as follows:

In the future, Japanese animation will probably be produced in Southeast Asia.

Thailand, Malaysia, Taiwan and other countries and regions have sprung up many excellent animation studios. And Vietnam has also begun to take off.

I don't just mean that labor is cheaper in those places.

Every time an event at the level of an international animation carnival is held, as long as the selection of short animations is included, the works of Southeast Asian countries will continue to appear on the list of winners. Seeing such a situation, one can also appreciate the level of their works. On the one hand, this is a reflection of the technical capabilities of the region's production sites.

I also talked about this with director Hideaki Anno, and when I asked how long the hand-drawn animation would last, he replied, "Five years?" No, it should last for another ten years, right? In other words, it was already ten years before the concept of painting was completely transferred from paper to computer.

Anno has already imagined a CG-based animation scene and is preparing for it.

In addition, as I mentioned earlier, animation production sites in Asian countries can be connected to each other via the guò network. Therefore, the international division of labor can also be realized instantaneously.

Therefore, I think that hand-drawn animation like Ghibli can only be preserved as a "traditional craft". It's like an island stuck to in the tide of the times (laughs).

The style of painting is not exaggerated! The new house talks about "Lucky Belly Graffiti"

The new winter "Lucky Belly Graffiti" will meet us soon. In this work, the heroine Machiko Ryo is a girl in the second grade of junior high school, because her parents are abroad, she and her grandmother depend on each other. However, after her grandmother passed away, she had to start living independently, and at this time she realized how poor her cooking skills were, and regretted that she had not honed her skills properly. And when Kirin Morino, a girl who lives in her house, appears, she is determined to learn how to cook in order to become a good bride...... This work invited Akiyuki Shinbo's leading lineup, so it attracted attention from all walks of life. Previously, Xinfang had said that "I hope this work can continue to have a sequel", and recently, he disclosed some of the inside stories of this work in an interview. The synopsis of the interview is as follows:

1. Don't make a big deal. It doesn't have to capture the hearts of the audience for a moment.

2. In order to show everyone the food, I am thinking about using slow motion (trial work).

3. I'm watching a storyboard myself.

4. In the first episode of the storyboard, I added the slow-motion storyboard mentioned earlier.

5. In terms of the plot of eating, the animation has reservations compared to the original table.

6. The original author will attend the script meeting every time.

7. In Okada's scripts, there is often a statement that "the expression should be slightly sad".

8. The storyboard of the first episode was in charge of Shinsaku Sasaki of the theatrical versions of "Madoka Magi-chan ☆ Magic" and "Rebellion".

9. The reason why I chose Rina Sato to voice this time is because she can perform naturally.

10. Although the plot of eating this time can't be particularly exaggerated, it can't be too restrained.

11. Regarding the OP of Umezu Taichen's zuò, the author himself once paused to watch the OP of "Maid Cafe", which he was in charge of before, many times, and he was very happy.

The first turned out to be ...... Nitaku Anime Song of the Year!

In 2014, there were many anime songs to meet the majority of anime fans. Whether it's a piece of music that sets off some well-known scene, a great song that elevates the end of a story, or a song sung by a popular idol...... It should be said that if you pay attention to this year's new market, you can find a lot of favorite anime songs from it.

Recently, Japanese otaku conducted a poll on Twitter called "I think the best anime song TOP102014". In this event, some of the anime songs of the year were selected that are recognized by everyone, and they can also reflect the trend of popularity. So let's take a look at the winners!

It's hard to define exactly what "2014 anime song" is. However, the scope of this selection is limited to anime-related songs that were announced/released in 2014. For this reason, the BGM and character songs of the work can also participate in the selection, but if the relevant track of a work was released last year, then it does not count.

First of all, let's take a look at the results from 20~11 (actually from 18th due to tie)!

Tied for 18th place: "May'n" (Theme song of "Kitsune's Love Introduction")

《ツインテール·ドリーマー! /ツインテイルズ ("I、To Be a Double Ponytail" ending song)

《OVERLAPPERS/Qverktett:||(Theme song of "Everyday Ability Battle")

《OVERDRIVER/ZAQ》(《RAILWARS! (ending song)

"BEAUTIFUL≒SENTENCE/メイガス·トゥー" ("TRINITYSEVEN MODOSHU 7 MESSENGER" ending song)

16th place: "Jun じゃなきゃダメみたい/オーイシマサヨシ" ("Monthly Girl Nozaki-kun" theme song)

《とまどい→レシピ/みかくにんぐッ! ("Unconfirmed Progressive" theme song)

No. 15: "Flower Snow/smileYinc." (End of "Flower Dancing Girl")

11th place: "Won(*3*)ChuKissMe!/SAKURA*TRICK" ("Sakura Trick" theme song)

"Daydreamcafé/PetitRabbit's" ("Would you like to have some rabbits today?") (Theme song)

"Azurite/Petitmilady" ("A Pilot's Love Song" Theme Song)

"killykillyJOKER" ("Choosing the Infected" theme song)

The above songs are all very popular, and even make fans shout, "Hey, this song is not in the top 10?" And the animation "Monthly Girl Nozaki-kun", which is more popular among the female group, has also achieved a good ranking with "Jun じゃなきゃダメみたい/オーイシマサヨシ". So let's take a look at the works of 10~4 (actually from 9th place due to the tie)!

9th place: "いつかの、いくつかのきみとのせかい/fhána" ("Our Family's Kawaiso" theme song)

"M@STERPIECE/765PROALLSTARS" (Theme Song of "Idol Master Towards a Glorious Future")

8th place: "UNISONIA/TRUE" ("BuddyComplex" theme song)

No. 7: "Semi-Permanent に愛してよ?/Yui Horie" (ending song of "Youth Chronicle")

No. 6: "DivineIntervention/Fhána" ("The Witch's Mission" theme song)

No. 5: "Thisgame/Suzuki このみ" ("NOGAMENOLIFE" theme song)

4th place: "花ハ踊レヤいろはにほ/チーム" ("Flower Dancing Girl" theme song)

These songs are also very competitive hits. After listening to these works, some people will recall some famous scenes in the works and burst into tears, right? And "M@STERPIECE", which ranked ninth, was also the song that stood out in the theatrical version of the work, and received a good number of votes. As for the seventh-place "Semi-Permanent に愛してよ?/Horie Yui?", if you have the opportunity to listen to the full version, you will feel it even more...... Well, make it to the top three!

3rd place: "RisingHope/LiSA" (Theme song of "Inferior Students of Magic High School")

The phrase "worthy of being my brother" has become one of the popular lines in this year's anime works, and the reason why this sentence can become popular is also inseparable from the success of the work "Inferior Students of Magic Universities". Of course, the theme song of this work also has outstanding highlights in the field of animated songs! In addition, the author personally likes the ending song "Mirror" of the second half of the season created by Yasuda very much, but unfortunately this one only received 3 votes. But the elder brother at the beginning of the picture is very stylish.

No. 2: "星屑のインターリュード/fhána" ("Celestial Principles" ending song)

At present, the plot of "Celestial Principle" has ushered in the most **, and this ending song is also the third work released by Fhána this year. As you can see from the list above, all 3 of Fhána's works this year are in the top 10, which is also eye-catching! And in February 2015, Fhána will also release his first record, so this is one of the hottest animation singers at the moment, and I believe no one will have any objections, right?

No. 1: "Hikari るなら/Goosehouse" ("April is Your Lies" theme song)

The song that shines on the first throne comes from "April Is Your Lies", which is currently on the air. Although some fans may think, "Recently aired works may bring a bonus to the rankings, right?" "However, as long as you have heard this divine comedy, you should not have any doubts about this ranking. The song received nearly one-third of the votes, and the upbeat style was so dazzling that many viewers were introduced to the work because of this song......

In addition, we also made statistics on the song rankings for each anime. In terms of results, although "Ordinary Female High School Students Want to Be Local Idols", "Idol Activities", which are currently very popular, "Idol Activities! 》、《lovelive! is very popular with idol works, but it is precisely because there are too many songs in the work that the number of votes is scattered.

Extra: Animation song charts

No. 1: "Flower Dancing Girl"

No. 2: "April is Your Lies"

No. 3: "Principles of Celestial Bodies"

No. 4: "Inferior Students of Magic Universities"

A total of 361 songs were voted for this time. Among them, there are also some character songs, BGM and other works that have been loved by people. I wonder which songs you think are better this year? Let's hope that 2015 will have new surprises as well!

Classics never go out of style! 10,000 people voted "the most wanted anime"

CHRAPEDIA, a well-known anime-related website, has been known for its various characters, works, and anime-related rankings all year round, and has previously released such as "Favorite Male and Female Voice Actors Ranking", "Ideal Family Ranking", and "Animation Golden Melody Ranking". The latest chart survey is titled "Ask 10,000 Anime Necropatics: What You Most Want to Replay", and the results have been announced.

The number one work is "Card Girl Sakura". I'm afraid that this work has also been accompanied by the hit broadcast of TV stations and has affected the childhood of many people. Whether it is the image of a magical girl or a gorgeous transformation costume, it attracted the attention of a large number of girls back then, and it has become a popular attraction for otaku today. In addition, the heroine of this work, Kinomoto Sakura, also won the first Moe King of Himoe, so she and voice actor Tange Sakura are called the "first generation" by everyone. If this work is broadcast again, I am afraid it will also set off a new craze.

"Gintama" ranked second. If you are a friend who often goes to the barrage website, I am afraid that the sentence "I am willing to exchange my life for Gintama" is still fresh in my memory, right? In a sense, this work subverts people's understanding of shonen manga, and at the same time, the animated version of the work has become an outstanding representative of "animation looks better than the original". There is no lower limit to the jokes, characters with rich personalities, and a protagonist who can make people crispy to the bone...... At present, it seems that it is becoming more and more unlikely that the TV anime of this work will continue to release new works, so if there is a TV station willing to rebroadcast it, it can be regarded as a kind of comfort to fans.

"CLANNAD" came in third. If there is a ranking of "the most successful GALGAME anime adaptation", then this work will definitely be at the top. Before AFTERSTORY, there may have been many people who thought it was just an ordinary ** campus work, but when Tomoya Okazaki married Nagisa Furukawa, we saw the greatest pain a man can experience. Fortunately, this is only a fictional story, and fortunately, the existence of light jade makes the ending happy. But if the phrase "The only place you can cry in the toilet and your father's arms" rings in everyone's ears again, I'm afraid you will burst into tears again, right?

And the fourth work is "Lelouch the Rebellious". This anime can be said to have epoch-making significance when it was first broadcast. Previously, few audiences could imagine that the protagonist of a work could be so "evil", and whether it is the character set by the CLAMP aunt group or the huge stage of the story, the work has become a classic in the hearts of countless anime fans. At the same time, Uncle Leluxiu's sentence "It's not that I'm the world that's wrong" has also become a line that many secondary school teenagers talk about. Don't forget that the popular voice actor Jun Fukuyama also stepped on the pinnacle of his life with the role of Lu Luxiu......

In addition, "The Light Girl" ranked fifth. Sometimes I have to sigh at the magic of Kyoto Animation. Before "Light Girl" was adapted into a TV anime, I'm afraid not many people had heard of this work. However, with KyoAni's ingenuity, "K-ON" became the "source of power", and at that time it broke the box office record for the late-night animated theatrical version. In fact, the work is very simple, it is a few cute girls who practice leisurely and enjoy their youth at the same time. But this setting hit the cute point of countless people, and voice actors including Toyosaki Aisei, Yoko Higasa, and Takeda Ayana have also officially entered the ranks of first-line voice actors with this work.

The 2015 Doraemon Film Festival has 35 films in the past!

Since the release of "Nobita's Dinosaur" (のび太の黄竜) in 1980, the "Doraemon" series of movies has fascinated countless audiences, and I believe that there is no friend in childhood memories who is occupied by "Doraemon". In the blink of an eye, we will usher in an extraordinary year 2015, in order to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the birth of the "Doraemon" series of films, the official release of the details of the "Doraemon Film Festival 2015".

It is reported that this Doraemon Film Festival will be led by the latest work in the series "Doraemon: Nobita's Cosmic Heroes" (影画ドラえもんのび太の宇宙hero記), which will be screened in a total of 35 days from January 31 to March 6 next year! The venue is located at the Jimbocho Theater, and some of the productions will be screened together with the side screenings, so that the audience can enjoy the atmosphere of the premiere in the theater.

The 35 films that will be released at the festival are from the first work in the series, Nobita's Dinosaurs, to the 34th film, Doraemon: New? Nobita's Great Demon Realm" is 34 works during the period, plus a new work "Doraemon: Nobita's Cosmic Heroes". Released in 1981, "21st Century Little Fortune Star: Welcome to the Universe" and the co-screening "Doraemon: Who Am I Momotaro" are also included. For those who like the Doraemon series, it is a celebration that cannot be missed.

In 2010, the Jimbocho Theater, the venue, hosted the 30th anniversary Doraemon Film Festival, and the entire theater was overcrowded. I hope that this 35th anniversary Doraemon Film Festival will be able to reproduce the glory of that year and present the best movie experience to fans! For more information such as the timetable, please refer to the official website of Jimbocho Theater. (Portal: http://www.shogakukan.co.jp/jinbocho.)

Referendum! The latest character popularity list of "One Piece" has been announced

As a national-level shonen manga, One Piece created by Eiichiro Oda has become a symbol of Japanese anime. And logically, the appearance of the characters in the work has also attracted countless attention, and almost all the main characters have their own fan base. So which of these characters are the most popular? Recently, the fifth "One Piece" character popularity list was officially held, and the results have been announced.

The one who won the championship without any suspense was the protagonist Monchi · D. Luffy, it should be said that as the leader of the Straw Hat Pirates, Luffy has become more and more signs of becoming the king of the pirates after maturity, although he still has a pure smile, but just looking at the scar on his chest is enough to remind people of the life and death catastrophe that this rubber man once suffered.

And the second place that surpassed many members of the Straw Hat Pirates was Trafalgar K. D. Watier Rowe. In the current comic plot, he used to be Don Quixote's subordinate, and he is taking on a very heavy role. At present, as the best comrade-in-arms of Luffy and his party, Luo is capturing the hearts of fans with the momentum of conquering the city.

The three-sword swordsman Roronoa Zoro was undeservedly in third place. The story of this sword hero has always been widely praised by OP fans. Whether it is the promise of "becoming the number one swordsman in the world", or the determination to sacrifice himself for the sake of his companions, Sauron's every move is worthy of the word "chivalrous".

And his good friend Sanjiz is also close behind, ranking fourth. As one of the representatives of the "perverted gentleman", the image of Sanji has long been imprinted in our hearts. Although his loyalty is not "chivalrous" like Zoro, his attitude in the face of women and his intimate service like a butler are enough to make him the prince charming in the hearts of thousands of girls.

And Luffy's younger brother Sabo is also in fifth place this time. It should be said that after Ace died and his grandfather could not provide Luffy with any help, Sabo's appearance made up for the problem of "family affection" on Luffy's life in time. At one time, including Luffy, they thought that Sabo had died a long time ago, but now he has made a comeback with super strength, which has also made countless fans feel enthusiastic and moved.

Shinji is heartbroken! The short animation of the sequel to "EVA" has been revealed

Since the release of the super popular masterpiece "Neon Genesis Evangelion New Theatrical Version: Q" in 2012, the sequel "Theatrical Version: ▕┃" has been unheard from. Recently, the 7th installment of the "Japan Animator Exhibition Series" was unveiled, and it turned out to be a 5-minute "EVA" Gaiden anime!

Although there is no dubbing in the film, and there is no caption, it can be seen from the bleak scene of the end of the world that the world view of this short film inherits the "Theatrical Version: Q", Shinji Ikari in the No. 13 pilot's suit walks in the blood-red world in a daze, and Rei Ayaami, who is wearing the No. 9 pilot's uniform and the school uniform version, also leaves the country for a short time, which can't help but make people look forward to the finale of EVA's new theatrical version.

But the audience and friends can't forget the tragic history of being deceived by various trailers of "Theatrical Version Q", maybe when "Theatrical Version: ▕┃" is released, Uncle Hideaki Anno will smile and say: "This short film is for me to play, and it has nothing to do with the theatrical version." ”

The Complete Works of Animation of the Japan Animator Exhibition is a joint project between the animation company Khara and the NICONICO operating company Dwango, within a given budget and time, animation makers can freely produce a variety of short animations regardless of genre, aiming to provide a platform for creators to show themselves, and from November 7, 2014, they will be delivered for free every week.

This week, the manga/light novel sales giant broke one million new volumes

This week, the Oricon double list was released on time (1222 pay), let's get straight to the point. First of all, the manga has reproduced its glory with 1.01 million copies for the first time, and the latest volume of the well-known "Attack on Titan" is the latest volume, although the giant unfortunately lost to the pirates in the manga annual list this year, but in the face of such terrible sales, we have no reason to doubt the possibility that the giant will successfully top the manga annual list next year. In second and third place are the latest volumes of "Youth Journey" and "MIX", both of which have sold relatively good sales. In terms of the light novel list, "Sword Art Online" corresponds to "Attack on Titan" on the comic list, and won the championship and runner-up by a huge margin. Among them, the new volume of "Sword Art Online Progressive" sold 160,000 copies, and the first volume of "Sword Art Online GGO Gaiden" sold 50,000 copies, which is very exaggerated. In terms of non-library books, the Hokage Closing Theater's companion novel "THELAST-NARUTOTHEMOVIE-" made a strong effort this week and successfully topped the list with 21,000 copies. Overall, this week's book list is very active, and the first-line works have all achieved good results, so let's congratulate them!
