Chapter Eighty-Four: The Glory of the Knight King and the Coronation of a Generation of Trough Kings

As the top person in charge of an animation company, Miyadai is very concerned about the dynamics of the industry, and sometimes he even watches late-night animations like standard anime otaku or records late-night animations as "research objects".

And this year, the first heavyweight work to appear is neither April's light animation "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya", nor October's original animation "Rebel Lelouch...... Of course, it can't be the IS of Mad Poihat, and no one will take them seriously now.

In terms of "the level of anticipation from the audience", there is one work this year that surpasses Suzumiya and Lelouch - Fate stay night, which is currently being broadcast as an anime adaptation of the January text adventure game and produced by STUDIO DEEN.

"IS's goal is to surpass Fate in terms of sales...... It's best to strive to surpass it in word-of-mouth. ”

Miyayo brought the recorded Fate to the company, and then pointed to the broadcast screen and said to IS's animation supervisor Kishi Seiji that almost choked the other party to death.

"Mr. President, this goal is a bit exaggerated, isn't it?"

Kishi Chengji thought that Gong Daiyu was joking, so he also asked in a joking tone...... But in any case, it's true that this goal is too high.

What is TYPE-MOON's popularity? Is IS comparable?

What is STUDIO DEEN and is Mad Poihat comparable? People can receive production commissions like "garbled 1/2" and "Rogue Kenshin" N years ago, right?

Taking a step back, with Fate's popularity, even if Studio DEEN makes this animation like shit, it can still be bought, and the type of moon claims to have 100,000 core diehards, and the animation can be sold casually to obtain unattainable data.

Kishi Chengji feels that IS's routine is tricky, but he is not even sure if the animation can pass the best-selling line of 10,000 rolls...... How does the original animation IS compare to an adapted animation like Fate, which has become so popular?

Because I'm busy with IS's work, Kishi Seiji hasn't paid too much attention to Fate, so I don't know what the outside world will say about it for the time being - this Fate's TV anime produced by Studio DEEN is based on the game's saber, but for various reasons, this work has not been highly praised since it was broadcast...... This may also have something to do with the audience's high expectations in advance.

Of course, commercially, although it doesn't seem to have been able to achieve the ambitions of the type moon, it should be considered a success for the most part...... If Miyayo is not mistaken, the final sales of the 06 version of Fate should be around 34,000.

This data can naturally surpass the vast majority of animations.,But it's a bit unfinished for the type of moon.。

"Supervisor Kishi, feeling that daring is a necessary quality of supervision, you must know how big the heart is, how big the stage is." Miyadai said with a smile again.

"The stage is as big as the heart", if you think about it carefully, this sentence is actually quite non-human, the heart is useless, and there is still no stage when there should be no stage.

He was to the point, but at least it wasn't exactly a joke, so it added to the pressure on Mr. Overseer's shoulders.

"......" Kishi Chengji opened his mouth, but the words on his lips still didn't come out. At this time, I also felt cheated, after all, Gong Daiyu didn't say that when he took over this job, but why did he suddenly raise the requirements so much when it was impossible for him to leave this job again?

Although Miyayo Naruto's tone was not serious, the east and west Kishi Seiji who should have felt it had already felt it.

However, this is a normal routine, Miyayo has to ensure that the other party can accept this job first, and then put pressure on him like this...... This has to be regarded as a kind of leadership art, and of course, it is also a top-down and visceral way to cheat people.

After being pitted, Kishi Chengji also has a feeling of wanting to pit people...... Now he wished Fate could sell less.

"Mr. Gong, even if you want to set a high goal, I think it's better to compare it with Kasuko Suzumiya, who is about to be broadcast by Kyoto Animation next door." Kishi Seiji felt that it was more reliable to target Suzumiya than Fate.

"Uh......" How should Gong Daisheng respond, this sentence is really because he is not dead enough.

"So-kun, did you bring this tape just to talk about it?" Seeing that the palace substitute music seems to have some kind of intention, Iwami Mai is worried that he will pit people endlessly, so he interjects and changes the topic.

"Now it's just a matter of talking about such things, and at the same time, I'm also analyzing what the graphics of the animation works made by my peers are like now, but ...... I'm looking forward to having the opportunity to work with TYPE-MOON in the future." Miyadai said.

The senior sister is still gentle in the end, and she avoids the act of putting nails in the coffin board of Kishi Chengji.

"This ...... For the time being, it's very difficult, and it's basically impossible for us to get the opportunity to adapt such a super popular work. Iwami said that she has been studying as an animator and now has basic judgment skills.

Only a powerful company can get a popular work, Fate is naturally a popular work, and Mad Poihat is not a powerful company.

"That's the reason.,But relatively speaking, TYPE-MOON also has unpopular works.,If it's not possible.,It's okay to give it a try.。 Miyadai said.

Compared with the success of Fate, the current reaction to some of the works of the moon is still a little bland, such as ...... "Empty Realm"?

Either way, it's a bit early to talk about that.

…………

After Fate started playing, its overall evaluation and sales estimates were a bit unsatisfactory, and this anime was half a year of 24 episodes, and by the end of March, when it was nearly halfway through the broadcast, the first volume of the DVD containing episodes 1/2/3 was released.

The initial (first week sales) is 18,000, the second week is 22,000, and the first is 26,000...... If this is the sales result achieved by other works, it is definitely a big success, but on Fate, this figure is a bit sad.

Fortunately, this sadness was quickly forgotten, and in April, Kyoto Animation, which had accumulated a lot of experience, finally ushered in its own era.

On April 2nd, the TV anime "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" began to premiere on Chiba TV.

If the audience's evaluation of FATE is lower than expected, then the first words of Haruhi Suzumiya make people feel full of malice at the beginning, and the first feeling of countless people after seeing this highly anticipated animation is like this:

"What is this?"

Quite bold and exaggerated, Kyoto Animation has taken a completely shuffled approach to Suzumiya's work...... They really played away.

What's even more amazing is that the beginning of its first episode is actually a black and white film, and the scratched picture is deliberately creating the feeling of an old film movie, and the picture of the scantily clad bunny girl "Asahina Senpai" moving in the shopping street makes the vast majority of viewers confused...... As far as the non-original party is concerned, the story they know is not like this.

The title of this episode is called "The Adventures of Minoru Asahina", and this first episode broadcast on TV is actually the 11th episode of the story sequence - Suzumiya is not a unit drama, and each episode is related to each other, so this kind of out-of-order broadcast separates the whole story.

Objectively speaking, this practice is actually very deadly, if you can't immediately catch the audience's attention, then no one has the heart to watch this kind of "messy" animation...... However, if you judge the heroes by success or failure, it can only be said that Kyoto is very good.

The only reason why Kyoto Animation dares to play like this should be that Suzumiya's original work is a popular light novel with an average sales of 200,000 copies, but in fact, this is also a challenge to the nerves of the original party...... However, they really brought the work to life like this.

After the "messy" Haruhi Suzumiya played a few words, the SOS group has already shown a posture of sweeping the circle.

PS:

There's a mistake in the front.,There won't be BD on sale at this time of the story.,At that time, Sony's BD format was tearing each other up with Toshiba's HD.,It's not time to dominate the world.,There shouldn't be many BD players.,So Blu-ray discs can't be sold.。
