For a rookie supervisor, if the animation is divided into two categories: "can do" and "can't do", then "strawberry marshmallow" should be considered "I can do" in most cases.

Although this kind of "cute-like" animation is not without difficulty, its difficulty is often considered to be mostly reflected in the character setting and so on, and they are animations with weak plots, and the use of lenses and light and shadow does not need to be so whimsical, so just in terms of subjective judgment, strawberry marshmallow should belong to that kind of "novice task".

Although in fact, if you really want to do this kind of animation well, it's not as simple as any hardcore animation.

However, as Naoko Sugida said, she is indeed inclined to accept the job in her heart, and the question now is whether the binding force of objective conditions on her can limit this tendency.

The protagonist of "Strawberry Marshmallow" is shared by five girls, ranging in age from 11 to 20 years old. I have to say that this kind of story from the perspective of a girl itself has that kind of "warm and sweet" color, and the title "Strawberry Marshmallow" also expresses the essence of the story appropriately - it is a genuine healing animation, theoretically speaking, only those who can do this kind of animation are qualified to call themselves warriors of love.

In terms of scripts, it is composed in the form of a unit drama that ends in one sentence, which is a common feature of many light daily works, because the script of this kind of story itself does not need to be too coherent.

A stand-alone plot is more suitable than a continuous plot to express the characteristics of the work.

And in terms of character setting,The five protagonists are all distinctive.,Although this kind of "character endowment" often causes the problem of character face-painting, but if the application object is a lively girl, it's a different matter...... Character settings are often reflected in character interactions, rather than dry descriptions.

Although there is no male protagonist in the physical sense in this anime, for the audience, the perspective should be the character of "Nobue Ito...... In fact, although she is a gender female in various settings, her role is highly similar to that of the male protagonist.

Former "bad girl", she likes to smoke, prefers to take a can of beer after taking a bath, and often gets drunk...... These are all masculine character treatments, even if she is a woman, at least she is a role like "big sister".

Even because of these preferences, she had to make minor adjustments to her identity settings during the animation process...... The original manga set her as a 16-year-old JK in high school, and the anime had to correct her to a 20-year-old junior college student.

After all, at this age, smoking and drinking are legal, and they barely cross the line - in fact, even if the age is legal, such "bad habits" rarely appear in animation works, and social concepts require animators to consider the impact of the plot of the work on teenagers.

While "Nobue Ito" is biased towards men in the setting, she is also added with an extremely important personality related to the acceptance of the work - she is a hopeless lolicon patient, and in addition to not being interested in her sister "Chika" and the neighbor's ADHD girl "Miha", she especially likes the fifth-grade girls named "Jasmine" and "Anna".

And if you combine the characteristics of these two girls, you can find that the preferences of the male protagonist (pseudo) "Nobue Ito" are extremely popular, which can be described by the words "light and soft".

The second protagonist is "Nobue's" sister "Chika Ito", a 12-year-old sixth grader in elementary school. The "normal people" and spit servants in the work,Sensible and cognitive level is often stronger than the 20-year-old sister,Housekeeping omnipotence,Especially good at handmade dim sum,Often responsible for dealing with the trouble caused by my sister and friends,I have to be forced to help my sister who often falls into "financial difficulties" because of tobacco and alcohol problems.

Third, "Chika Ito's" childhood sweetheart "Miwa Matsuoka", the main promoter of the troublemaker and the plot, the "girl next door" with strong action, but most of the time her actions are unclear or incomprehensible, she likes pranks, and the funny service in the work, the main object of Qianjia's complaints. Self-proclaimed beautiful girl.,I know some early special effects and house language very well.,I like Sister Shinhui very much.,But most of the time the way she likes it is as long as she can understand it.。

Fourth, Jasmine Sakuragi, an 11-year-old fifth-grader elementary school student who lives near Ito's house, is an introverted and shy glasses girl who is easily bluffed and has good English for various reasons...... She can be roughly described as a "good girl" and a "good student", the object of Nobue's sister's favor, and the person she will inevitably bring with her if she lives on a desert island.

Fifth, Anna Coppola, a British girl who has just moved to the neighborhood and Jasmine's classmate, is a blonde, blue-eyed, white-skinned, completely "daily" foreigner - although she tries to live like a British on the surface and wants to maintain the "decency" of the British, she can't hide her understanding and preferences for Japanese culture. Extremely fluent in Japanese, no different from the locals, but English has degraded to the point of nearing zero, relying on Jasmine everywhere to learn English, and she is also Miu's "sworn enemy". Because it's a foreign child with "delicate dolls and snow-white skin", the drunk sister Nobue shouted "It's mine" when she first came to her, and she was also the second person that Lolicon's sister would inevitably bring with her when she was on a desert island.

In addition to the character setting, the stage setting of the story was originally Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, but considering convenience and some other factors, Miyadai Kanaku was going to change it to Kyoto City at his feet.

At the same time, in order to quickly "open up the situation", "Strawberry Marshmallow" is going to take a relatively large scale of publicity (compared to previous works), and one of the main ways of this publicity is to cooperate with voice actor agencies and radio programs.

And the premise of adopting this strategy is naturally coming out:

"Big Voice Actor Battle".

Fumiko Orikasa, Ayako Kawasumi, Hitomi Tenmu, Mamiko Noto, in addition to Chiba, the first four are currently more influential voice actors.

Although from the perspective of the entertainment industry, voice actors are a relatively unpopular and "low-level" industry. At present, even if it is an idolized voice actor, the overall influence cannot be the same as that of a real idol. But for animation, what is needed is not the overall influence, but their influence on the otaku culture circle.

For many otaku, even if it is a top idol/singer/actor who dubs the animation, they may not necessarily recognize it, because this group of people is a voice actor and their voice.

For people who are far away from this circle, they don't care what "nailing disease" is, and for people in this circle, "nailing disease" is undoubtedly the most serious incurable disease.
