Whether it is for an individual or a company, the four words "instant hit" are quite exciting.

It's bound to be quite exciting.

Although KyoAni had previously independently produced anime works such as Full Metal Mania and AIR, both of which also sold well, were of positive quality, and received mostly positive responses, the response to "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" far exceeded the previous anime.

To explain it in one sentence, it would have to be said that "Haruhi Suzumiya is a phenomenal animation".

Why is this light animation so popular? If you do a later analysis, you can always find a variety of reasons to explain.,Some of the reasons are deliberate.、Some of them are inadvertently exposed to the audience's radio waves during the production process.,But to be able to achieve this level of animation.,It seems that there is always an "inexplicable" part of the popular elements...... Or rather, there is an irreproducible contingency.

Of course, Kyoto Animation has done everything it can do, which is the foundation of everything, and the achievements and performance of the works are their strength, which is not to be criticized.

The personalities of the characters in the animation work "Haruhi Suzumiya" are very distinct, and it can also be said that there is a "sense of exaggeration" that is very suitable for animation: Haruhi Suzumiya, the "center of the world" who is tired of daily life and always wants to do things; An ordinary person who always has to clean up the mess for her and the first generation of the king of complaints, "Ah Xu" who only has a nickname but no real name; Three no universe people, Nagato Yuki; Future man and cute thing Asahina Minoru Kuru; It looks reliable, but it can't help much at a critical time.

Even its supporting characters are quite distinctive—years later, even if those who read the story forget all the plots, they will definitely remember the cat that was maliciously named "shamisen" by Suzumiya (the shamisen is a musical instrument made from raw cat skin).

Roughly speaking, "Cool Palace" is a typical work that supports the story with characters, using characters to drive the story and cause conflict, rather than showing the characters in the established storyline, so it is intuitive, distinct and impressive.

This is perhaps the most fundamental attraction of this anime.

Even its ED has become the most widely spread first-generation house dance...... On almost every video site, you can see a group of bearded men imitating the dance moves of the SOS group of five in various sound quality music, and the slogan of "100 million Lianggong fans" has also been shouted out.

By the time the first volume of "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" was released in June, it was approaching 30,000 at the beginning, and the final volume after the release of BOX was nearly 80,000 (different data shows a difference between 77,000 and 79,000). For the time being, this sales volume is the second highest level in Shinsegaku, and the only works that have sold better since 2000 are Tsukirise Animation's Gundam Seed.

After the anime was broadcast, the sales of the original novel soared from 200,000 to 800,000 copies, and it has since held the record for the average sales of light novels.

If there is any regret about this work of Liang Gong, it can only be said that its popularity has not lasted as long as imagined...... This is a work that was pitted by the salted fish author, and it only has an ending of "May we meet again in a certain year and month", of course, that is a later story.

For now, Kishi will never be able to speak like he did in the previous chapter anyway...... Therefore, when people can develop obscenely, they should develop as obscene as possible, and they have to keep their mouths shut.

Also worth mentioning in April are Madhouse's "Black Reef" and Moonrise Animation's feature-length manga "Gintama", which has led to the long-established animation company's unbridled journey of selling festivals.

Overall,06 is a year of high-quality animation.,Judging from the new list,The competition in October is more fierce than in April.,The opponents of the current IS are"Death Note"、Also from KyoAni's KEY Society Trilogy of the second "Kanon" and "Rebel Lelouch" and so on.。

However, in July, which is a relatively off-season, there are not many works that can be broadcast at the same time as "The Flying Witch" and can constitute a certain competitiveness, and the external pressure is not so "pressing step by step". Relatively speaking, Kihata Makoto's opponent should be Miss Louis - the "Flying Witch" may have to face off against the "Zero Messenger Demon".

But "The Flying Witch" is a healing, pure, and everyday work, so how can it compete with the harem of "Zero Demon"? It's weird.

At a time when the ultra-high sales of the Cool Palace caused the industry to be impetuous, Mad Poihat was still busy step by step, and time seemed to fly by, from winter to spring to summer, almost instantaneously.

But under this kind of "step-by-step", it is actually "undercurrent", because the attitude that started from the palace and passed down layer by layer is like this - this year they also have to rely on their two works to do a vote.

So the production staff of Mad Poihat also seemed to hold their breath, and everyone had to work together for "this vote".

Although the actions of this small company seem to be a bit "self-sufficient", under the leadership of young people like Miyayo Sota, the morale of the young animation company Mad Poihat is really high.

…………

In late June, "The Flying Witch" made its last recording before it was played, which was the fifth episode, so judging by the overall progress, its follow-up production cycle was quite sufficient.

However, what is more special is that this time the recording palace is not on the scene, and the recording scene is watched by Kaoru Tokizaki, who is in charge of the musical sound of the work, Yukiko Ryugen and Maika Iwami, so his temporary absence will not cause any big problems.

"All the voice actors have worked hard, the recording work is about to start, and the supervisor is not here today, so everyone can play more freely according to the character personality they understand, and maybe we can get a better voice performance effect that surprises the supervisor."

As the overall person in charge, Mai Iwami greeted the voice actors present...... Of course, this should be understood as a reminder.

The people present are all professional voice actors, and even if the supervisor is not there, they know what to do, and they will definitely not play freely like Iwami said, but will record according to the rhythm of the first few words...... Otherwise, if the effect is not good, then they will have to rework and rerecord it themselves.

Superfluous actions will only increase their workload, and no one is so stupid.

"Ms. Iwami Mai is too polite, but why didn't the superintendent show up today?"

Someone among the voice actors asked a lot of questions.

"Oversight...... I have important personal matters that I have to attend to today, so I can't be there. "Iwami Mai explained as if she hadn't explained.

However, this made Kaoru Tokizaki, who was about to put on headphones, pause, and she thought to herself that this producer was quite protective of her supervision...... That kid is obviously taking an exam at school.

But...... Well, in theory, that has to be considered an "important thing".
