If you are concerned about the friends who care about new shows in animation, you will definitely not talk about the name of a Japanese animation company recently. That is JCSTAFF. This company is connected to the sequel of many classic animation works, but it is more than one. Poor, even if it was made by MADHOUSE in the first quarter, the sequel to the “Fist of Superman”, which is famous for playing and painting, after the production of JC STAFF, the trailers exposed are quite fascinating. Fans are sequels. Can not be accepted by JC STAFF and “destroyed” has become the core of the recent animation confession
So sure someone asked, Why are the quality of these works falling? Is the budget low?
I think a lot of anime fans are also clear, not because the budget is high, and the general JC STAFF company, the production of the “Electric Shock Library” of Kadokawa, the budget is not too bad, at least there is an average budget. There is no absolute relationship between the budget and the collapse. The average Japanese new program has a budget of 10 million yen to 30 million yen, and 30 million yen is almost the same as “Fate UBW”. The budget is over, and the 1995 Evangelion episode has a budget of only 6 million Japanese yen. This work, which is significantly lower than the average budget, is still being built into a world-famous work, the budget and the quality of the work. There is no absolute relationship
Why then collapse?
The root cause of the decline in production levels is that there is not enough time. For example, the author takes the example of “Dating Combat III” in the new program in January. This work has been published for a long time, but it took less than two months before the broadcast to form the production committee. The posters posted are also obvious. In order to catch up with the schedule, it was very rough, and everyone saw the precursor of the “collapse”
And “Dating Big Battle III” has “High Score Girl”, “Magic Forbidden Book III”, “Back Street Girl” and “Rebellious Million Arthurian King”, heavy works are pressed, and then there is “a punch” Superman will be produced in the second season, there is no time to complete, so there is only one way – outsourcing. Once outsourced, the quality of the animation is difficult to manage
The position of managing the quality of painting is called “painting supervision”. The painting supervisor is responsible for correcting the painting, unifying the style of painting and ensuring the quality, but you are outsourcing an animation to a number of different outsourcing studios, sending it back, painting It’s a good thing to fix, the painting is particularly bad, and even the whole card has to be returned to re-painting. It takes time, and the duration of the animation production has already been arranged. It’s too late to deliver the manuscript according to the deadline. It’s too late to deliver the manuscript. TV station, that is, “delivering an accident”, that is to lose money, we will not do money loss business, so the construction period is up, the work is drawn, but the quality is naturally not guaranteed, if the broadcast is too late to correct, then the collapse of the painting is still There is no way to collapse
There are friends who have to ask, knowing that it is too late to do. Why do you still pick up so many works?
Because you are not connected to J.C.STAFF, you must have a company. J.C STAFF will collapse, will the other companies not collapse? You let Jingani get 12 animations a year to see if it collapses?
The industry is so big, there are so many animation companies that can independently create animations on behalf of the company. The outsourcing company can only complete the various parts and not complete the ability of a complete animation work. Therefore, there must be a big head to pick up, and Kadokawa and JCSTAFF have cooperated for many years. The animation of “Electric Shock Library” has naturally arrived in JCSTAFF, and now more and more new programs need to be produced. JC STAFF does not pick up. Other companies have picked up, and can only ensure that the quality of JC STAFF’s work is not degraded, but it does not mean that other companies will not be able to pick up, because there are so many animations in the sequel
The time goes back to 2009, when J.C STAFF made “a scientific super-electromagnetic gun”. In that year, J.C STAFF only received 6 TV animations a year
Before, J.C. STAFF was still doing the “Zero Devil” and “Shakuin Shana” in 2007, J.C. STAFF also only made 6 animations
In 2005, J.C. STAFF received a lot of works, but it was also eight
So, what about 2017?
God! J.C.STAFF received 11 animations in the whole year, which is double that of 2007. It is not because J.C STAFF is a workaholic, but the total amount of new animation in the industry has been greatly improved
I remember that the new programs in 2017 are particularly special. In October 2017, more than 40 new programs were born in the same period. More than 40 new works will be shared with various animation companies, and JCSTAFF will be streamlined. Companies with very common animation styles have a large output, so they will inevitably take more works. The number of works assigned to JC STAFF will naturally increase due to the number of works in the industry
This is the same for all kinds of companies. Let me give you another example. Some people say that “Big Punch Superman 2” is not handed over to BONES. Things are not that simple
BONES The initial animation positioning is different from J.C STAFF
This picture is the production list of BONES. From 2000 to 2006, in 6 years, BONES only received 9 cartoons. In 2000, 2001, until 2003, the basic year only produced one. Cartoon. You are not mistaken, only one in a year
But in 2016, BONES has to pick up 8 in a year. At the same time, do 9 animations in 6 years, and 8 in 1 year. Which quality is easier to ensure? I think you can understand it
And BONES from 2017 to the present, the total number of works received is not large, so BONES is basically a route to maintain quality. This is related to the strategy of an animation company, but the number of new animation programs is increasing, the total number of new animation programs is increasing, the time is still that time, the company is still the company, then what happens? Yes, it is another company that has received a lot of animation works, and the quality of animation has dropped
The same problem occurs in the A-1 picture agency
Also remember that in 2008, Yamamoto’s classic “God” was hailed as a sacred man. That is the masterpiece of A-1 Picture. From 2006 to 2008, the A-1 made a total of 7 animations, and the quality of the cartoons was naturally superior
And in 2016, A-1 received 11 animations a year. The quality of animation can be imagined. Many works are very bad reputation
Well, some friends have to come again
So many animations have no place to digest,. Can’t that be so many animations?
No, because it’s all driven by interest. The animation itself is a super effective original advertisement
Give a few examples.
1 month popular animation, “Miss Hui Ye wants me to confess – the love of the geniuses”, after the animation was broadcast on TV, the sales volume of the original comics soared 4.1 times;
In January, the new program “Five-and-Five Flower Marriage”, after the animation was broadcast, the original sales of the comic book doubled in just 2 months;
In January, the new program “The Shield of the Brave became a directory”, many people feel that the story of high open and low, but in fact, it has a great impact on the original sales, after the animation broadcast, the first volume of comics is actually enough The foot has increased by 8.5 times…
Visible, the animation is very amazing for a light change, the original sales promotion effect of the work
And everyone knows that Japanese cartoon copyright management is strict, there are not so many places to watch high-definition animations online for free, so many people see interesting works, preferring to use relatively cheap light novels and comics to spend leisure time. Time, instead of buying expensive blue light, so the sales of the original are higher than the animated CD, and the animation of the new work, to cultivate fresh animation IP, this is the commercial effect that investors want. Therefore, the Japanese animation industry is only developed, and it will last forever
However, the object must be reversed. The animation is too much, but the animation company, accurately said that the animation talent did not join the industry so much, so many “going” animation companies have to accept more new works, the whole industry’s animation works are getting more and more, it must lead to a decline in the quality of the animation
The works themselves are also like this. There are more and more works, and there is a mixture of fish and dragons. It is inevitable that there will be “slag”, but investors believe that the market is in short supply. Many “slags” have also been animated to improve the attention of the original, but the original market has not yet When the big time, investors will have more choices to choose animated works, instead of being able to animate all of them now on the TV screen. That’s why Japanese animation, now from the work to animation, is falling across the industry. This is why J.C STAFF is too late to do, but it has to bear so many animation sequels
