IS's mecha design is somewhat special, unlike the "full-round" design of general robot animation, its character torso is still exposed and visible...... In other words, there is a feeling similar to doing "patch" processing directly on the character.

In this way, most of the combat drawings in this animation still rely on the laws of human structure rather than mechanical structure. Even so, Mad Poihat still did a lot of outsourcing for the design and painting of these parts.

So this part is the part of the animation process that has the least control of quality. Multi-party cooperation can make up for many shortcomings of an animation company, but it also brings its own problems...... It can't be helped, there is always a place for people in the process of animation.

In order to ensure the final presentation of the picture, Mad Poihat sometimes had to redo some revisions and corrections on their own when they were not satisfied with the outsourced work they received and could not order the other party to rework, so even if the production staff who were working on "The Flying Witch" were transferred to the production of IS, the work pressure was still quite heavy.

But even so, Mad Poihat is only trying to do better where he can do better, in fact, taking a step back, even if the production quality of IS is flawless, the story routine is new, and the response is praised, under the premise of this most favorable situation, its sales are still unknown.

In addition to expecting it to achieve good commercial results, in addition to producing a work like IS in the spirit of adventure, Miyadai actually has a little idea to explore the "possibilities" of Mad Poihat...... With the current production capabilities of this animation company, it is necessary to understand what kind of works it is suitable for and what kind of works it can produce.

This kind of thing is not what the person in charge of decision-making says what it is, it needs to be "explored" little by little.

It is impossible to completely control what kind of animation company is good at what kind of work...... To give a simple example, the "Kyoto Animation" next door has achieved achievements that many animation companies have failed to achieve since the new century, and even led the industry trend several times, but it still cannot avoid facing such "criticism" - they are unable to produce "hardcore" animation works.

KyoAni's ability to draw and express himself is undeniable, and this is the part of them that has become more and more "powerful" over time, from ice fruit to upper tuba to violet...... Even the most "upright" "Jinghei" have to resolutely shut up on some issues.

There's nothing to hack, and it's a bit too low-end to be forcibly black.

Take a look at how the passers-by in the animation made in Kyoto are drawn, and then look at the passers-by in the new house Akiyuki...... Well, most of the time new houses don't draw passers-by.

KyoAni fills the picture with delicate details, and they certainly don't do it when they're full.

However, with such a strong production capacity, far stronger than Mad Poihat's several sections, it is still impossible to imagine that this company can produce works of the genre of "Steel Refining" or "Tian Yuan Breakthrough".

Because they really can't do this kind of animation.

If you are too delicate or detailed, will the tension between the characters' actions and emotions be limited? It's hard to say.

Of course, after some attempts, KyoAni itself seems to have been aware of this problem for a long time, so the answer or choice they made to this question is this...... If you can't do it, you won't do it, and without "hardcore" animation, they're still thriving.

There's nothing wrong with cute girls.,What's more, Kyoto Animation doesn't just have cute girls.。

Going back to the problem with Mad Poihat, the reason why they can't make certain types of animations right now is pure...... No, or to put it better, "temporarily", without that strength, there is no need to do any detailed internal analysis, and the technical threshold is very simple and rude to block them out.

Planning accordingly depending on the development situation is what Mad Poihat needs to do.

If you have some "pessimistic" ideas, even if Mad Poihat's painting ability has been like this since then, it is not uncommon. In that case, Miyadai Sonata thinks that their future competitor will not be any animation company in the same industry, but "Fangwen Society" - cute dolphin, lily, Lori, these animation genres will have a bit of a "winning ace" nature in the next five to ten years.

And the difficulty of making this kind of animation is not too high, and it is still more suitable for them to play.

As for the "harem" animation, although different eras require different forms of expression, it seems to be the eternal "royal road".

As for "idol animation...... I'm sorry, that has an "epoch-making" significance, it is the gravedigger of the light animation, and the "pioneer" who squeezes the living space of the light animation to death.

So all in all, the paths available to an animation company are quite diverse, and it's time to see what to do.

…………

The response to the IS that is being played is still a mystery, and the subsequent sales are even more difficult to judge. However, "The Flying Witch" eventually withstood the test, and although the number of volumes released subsequently decreased, the range was acceptable, and its first sales eventually stabilized at more than 6,500 pieces, which can be said to be quite stable.

In other words, this time Mad Poihat really felt the pulse of the otaku, and even said that there were a lot of "witch" books in this year's winter Comic Market.

It's really gratifying, gratifying.

But the repercussions of the "Flying Witch" or the benefits to Mad Poihat are more than that.

In mid-November, Iwami found that she had received an email from her work mailbox signed "Aomori Prefecture Image Promotion Federation".

It seems to be an organization in Aomori Prefecture, but it is impossible to judge its nature from the name, and Iwami has never heard of this name before.

After reading the contents of this email in general, she did not have too many thoughts about the above content for the time being, first she had to understand what this so-called "association" was all about, and then she could make other judgments.

And after checking, she felt that the other party should be reliable...... To put it simply, it is a "private business organization" formed by local companies in Aomori Prefecture to promote and expand the image of the local community, promote the increase of visibility, and promote the coordinated development of many local industries, mainly tourism.

Mad Poihat had no connection with the other party before, and the only possible connection between the two parties so far...... That is, the story of "The Flying Witch" was set in Aomori.
