How Anime is made?


The process of creating anime always goes through some general steps. First, the story idea- that usually comes from manga-is being converted into the script and divided into episodic length. Then there’s the pre-production state, where the director does some financial preparations and finds right people for the actual production. When all that is done, the director needs to complete the script in the visual way, which is called creating the storyboard. Storyboard is doing some rough sketches including perspective, background and the layout for every scene, that then the key animators can turn into high quality key frames -the first and last frame of smooth motion. Usually anime has 24 frames per one second, so when the key animators to their job of only couple of frames, the rest is drawn by „in-between” artists. Lastly, finished animations require recording voice tracks and whole audio work needs to be done. After all that we can watch our favorite anime episode, which in my opinion contains insane amount of work and preparations, and should have been more appreciated by the viewers.

  1. Apart from copying the script from manga, the process looks like a standard for developing any animated film (where the style of the drawings is also original, unlike in anime). Or is there something special that I don't see?

Why are conspiracy theories so popular?

Conspiracy theories are popular mainly because they give us the thrill and emotions, and we also don’t like to accept everything we have been told by the government. We enjoy stuff that have deeper meanings. It makes our life interesting and it gives us a space to overthink even obvious stuff. So believing in even mindless conspiracy theories gives us the sensation. Also, another important reason is that we don't like being told what to believe in. We don’t always want to trust everything around us so easily, so we root for another solutions and beliefs, which lead us to creating those theories.

Problems of anime industry- part 2

The biggest issue with anime industry is that animators don’t get paid enough. Animating is extremely time consuming and in Japan it is a very unbeneficial job. According to the  Japanese Animation Creators Association , a Japanese animator in their 20s earns on average ¥1.1 million (which is about $10,000) per year, while the poverty line in Japan is earning  ¥2.2 million per year. So the only way the animators make ends meet is working even more, which leads to another issue of animators- being overworked. There are plenty of cases where those poor workers fall asleep at their desks, have their health declined and are hospitalized- all because of exhausion. It also happens, that animators even commit suicide due to such an unpleasant job. Some time ago, even a popular studio Madhouse has violated lobor code, because employees were working 400 hours per month, so the problem is more complex than you could think. In my opinion, this whole topic is heartbreaking and animat...

Secondhand christmas gifts

  Christmas is always associated with spending time with your loved ones, but lately it looks like it's a holiday of massive consumption. We all love receiving gifts, but research shows that we appreciate them more when it's something sentimental and has a history behind it. That's why we should start buying our christmas gifts secondhand. What makes an item meaningful is not its price, but its past, that we can fantisize about. So getting an old item can be good for the imagination, as well as it makes us take better care of our current belongings. It creates an attachment to our stuff, so when they get old, we're more likely to give them a new life, than just throw them out. In my opinion, this idea is just brilliant. I, myself am a big oponnent of mindless consumption during black fridays and christmas. I think nowadays, a lot of us are addicted to shopping and most of our purchases are things, that we don't actually need, but we just like the feeling of having b...
