  • You know the story first!

  • You an see voice actors live!

  • Save up money

  • And then Number one....

  • Hey guys and girls and... - The director - Who used to work in anime and

  • in our previous video we talked about the bad things working in anime. Hope you watched that

  • it's also in the comments. This time we're gonna talk about the good things about working in anime.

  • I want you all to know about them!

  • Number 5 - You know how the story continues first!

  • Ah! Oh yes. You get all the spoilers!

  • We won't see the finished colored animation but...

  • In anime there is the "storyboard"

  • we get hold of these in order to help animate

  • And there we can tell how the story continues and if it's different from the manga

  • You know it all before everyone else does!

  • Sometimes we know up to 10 episodes in advance. - Wow

  • That's tempting. - It was great. - But that's probably an NDS secret

  • We were forbidden to say it, otherwise it would destroy the anime industry.

  • But it was great. - Did you have some surprises?

  • You know what I meant when I said storyboard?

  • It describes at what scene what lines are spoken

  • What was fun with those, some are only sketched

  • sometimes they are drawn with a lot of detail

  • - Even though they are just a draft? - Yes

  • When there is enough production time, those are drawn properly

  • when there is no time, they just write circles and the name of the character.

  • It also says on the storyboard how people are moving and talking

  • It also says how many seconds a character has to move and speak

  • How the background looks and what pose the characters are in

  • The animators pic that and start drawing

  • Number 4

  • You can see the voice actors live! - You saw that? - If course!

  • I would go to the recording studio with all the voice actors

  • and see how they add their voice. Seeing that in real life....

  • was quite an amazing experience. They really add their life and essence

  • The way they express the stories climax or when they cry...

  • When they fight and cry. That's a job that normal people cannot do.

  • They are voice specials-its. I learned so much then.

  • Also what was funny was seeing them speak super important lines and bloopers

  • Seeing that, I realized some advantages of my job there.

  • I hope that one day people will allow Ask Japanese to film voice actors in motion

  • I want to do that! That would be great.

  • Number 3 - You save up money. - What?

  • You said you don't earn much. - Funny right. Yes we earn very little

  • but we save up money because we don't have time to use it. We only work.

  • There is no time to spend it. We only spend it on utility charges

  • like water and electricity, internet and food.

  • Are you working on weekends. - The dark companies do.

  • If they would at least get paid properly... - That's hard to say

  • Number 2 - Having your name in the credits

  • Ohhhh - That moved me very much.

  • Your name is in some famous anime endings? - Yes! When seeing that I was moved

  • a lot. "I have left something behind."

  • I think people are also curious about Hentai anime production

  • People that work in Hentai anime generally use fake names

  • With their real name they work on daytime TV anime

  • so they don't want that known. When doing Hentai they use different names

  • So many animators have 2-3 names depending on the works

  • So up to 3 pennames.

  • Number 1 - There are SUPER animators

  • and being able to see their pictures. We call them "super animators"

  • when they are anime geniuses. - Anime Gods? - Yes

  • God of anime. - They make AMAZING pictures

  • they draw moments nobody else can. Just seeing their pencil drawings

  • has moved me. How can they even draw like this?!

  • Watching anime, sometimes you see

  • movements that I have never thought of. - Especially in some Naruto episodes.

  • The pictures that one super animator drew are out of this world

  • Amazing. And some animators that worked on Guren Lagan.

  • Seeing their pictures ... Their pencil drawings go on TV

  • It was sooooo exciting to see.

  • In Anime we don't just draw one pictures, right?

  • We MOVE a picture. That's what's fascinating.

  • Depending on the animator, just a running scene will greatly vary

  • Broken running or having the camera move around while running

  • The way they draw the joints. Having a female character run

  • in a strong way or in a cute way. All that depends on the animator.

  • They think a lot about how they draw that.

  • The animators put a lot of thought into it. - Yes and they move

  • not in a normal way but in an anime stye.

  • Anime is moving pictures. Animations.

  • In a way you are making the drawn characters act. If you make it too real

  • you won't need to animate it. Anime has it's own style.

  • Writing how a character is supposed to move, that's a skill.

  • Those are thoughts only animators know. - Those Super animator

  • draw in pencil? - I have seen them draw before

  • Are you glad you worked in Anime?

  • You took a while to answer that. Too many bad sides?

  • Hearing that I think so. - I am glad for the experience. Not everyone can work

  • in this environment. Especially people from abroad...

  • don't have a chance to work in the Japanese anime industry much.

  • Recently some westerners are working in anime. It's a hard work

  • I am glad I got the experience.
