Study of Re:CREATORS 47: Lecture 8 continued

Lecture 8 continued

As indictment I presented this self check report. Both courses anime study and game study are developed intended for this purpose in mind.

I am planning to give anime subtitle lectures somewhere in America.
Kikuchihara continues, “…that the stories and settings of each character don’t oppose worldviews.”
Matsubara says, as one of the creators, “That hurts to hear.”

Literal translation of Japanese expression goes “My ears hurt.”
Sometimes literal translations go well. Quite often they result in overall failure.

“I want everyone to create every possible setting, scene and lead-in, in order to do that. Well, then, as of this moment, this project has officially begun. This plan and project will be called: Elimination Chamber Festival.

“No one knows when ‘The Great Destruction’ that Altair is working towards will begin. Our world exists on a thin sheet of ice.”
“Tread on a thin sheet of ice” is a common phrase in Japanese. Japanese is abounding of this kind of peculiar idioms. That makes the job of subtitle making very hard. I would like to pick up these instances and discuss in an intercultural interaction class. A few years ago, I had this kind of talk in a event named “Pre Wayora Cafe”.

Examining English subtitles paves the way for scenario study.
As soon as I have processed these teaching data, I will share them on school network and twitter.

Kikuchihara continues, “However, I believe that you will save this world. Let’s begin, for the sake of the world.”

“On January 14th, the Elimination Chamber Festival was announced. The first spin off was a short story for Elemental Symphony of Vogelchevalier.”
Large amount of background information is depicted through buildings, shops, books, blogs.
Kunika Bulldog, Nissan Stadium

Elemental Symphony
4 main Elements: Spirits, Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind. Those supernatural beings that represent these elementary factors that constitute the world are also called elementals.

There is also a distinction between elemental and elementary.
The relationship of words is different between Japanese and English. English classes must be run inspecting this factor. But administrative are very reluctant to prepare for these earnest teaching environments. Instead, they try to suppress those teachers who are taking care of those issues in their classes. One of the concrete examples of this is the annihilation of the function of school network.

And then, the main event. It was announced that the production for the animation would be done by TAC Products, the studio that did Monomagia.

“I ask you once more.”
“I said, it’s impossible. If you really want it, then I need 10 top-class producers and screenwriters. How about it? Do you think you can get them?”
“I will arrange for it soon.”
Industry-leading supervision and direction started.

“Don’t underestimate government-sponsored projects.”

The hidden realities of the anime production industry.
Across the industry, there is a limited pool of personnel who can handle tasks such as animation and direction.
A production that cannot gather enough staff ends up failing.
It ends up in what manga industry calls “dropping a manuscript.”

“You guys were saying it’d be too difficult or we’re going to die, but you look like you’re having fun.”
“For Kanoya to abandon the problems in his own world and go to another world, I think the motivation is too weak.”
“Do you think you can still make more time? Mr. Lead Screenwriter…”
“Stop it. I’m just the coordinator.”

The roles of director and producer are important. But sometimes something performed by the series manager plays an important role.

For instance, Mari Okada did a very good job as series manager in the making of true tears and glass lip.
Those are studies of them.

Sota comes in the office. “I brought what you asked me to.”
“Thanks. Come in, come in.”
“I was feeling a little cramped. Let’s rest for a bit.”
“Where are Meteora and the others?”
“They said there were two magnetic field fluctuations in a row. They all went out searching. What’s this?”
“A rough sketch for the spin-off. The one that will be released tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow is only one short story. We’re making several and going to release a book of them right before the event.”
“This is for the third one. I take a lot of time to finish the drawings. So I have to start early.”
“Wow. This is really cool. It has a lot of aura.”
“Hearing you say that makes me feel relieved. Oh, did you bring what I asked you to?”
“Salmon! …Thanks! I need this whenever I take naps!”

Suruga talks to Marine.
“This pen. It’s easy to use. …The way it draws.”
Sota and Marine are much impressed watching Suruga drawing.

Yatoji is not satisfied with the plan.
“It’s too simple.”
