Date movie part 1 of 10

The taste of keeping the pilots hand-drawn filled the airplanes with soul. However, I believe none will try that way again. It takes so much time and effort. Maybe the mass media will admire Miya-sans try on insisting to use hand-drawn animation as a kind of touching tale, but I doubt it will. We cannot rely on high quality hand drawn animation anymore. At least not for theatrical features. For mass-produced anime TV series they don t even care about its quality note: most of them are outsourced to other Asian countries. note: honestly, Oshii s clever talk is very interesting, though it is hard to transfer all the nuances into this summary Oshii, Indeed Ponyo shows the appeal of handling skills. Even if CG could have showed the jellyfish scene more realistically than how it was done in Ponyo, it can never show the taste we can enjoy due to the handling skill of Ponyo. However, hand drawn animation is a kind of craftwork. Craftwork cannot be mass-produced, because it takes a lot of time and sacrifices to grow skilled craftsmen. Behind one skilled craftsman growing up, lots of young talents are dumped into the dustbin. About 20 of the very skilled animators that have supported the high quality of Japanese hand drawn animation are already in their 40s now. Suzuki, No. They are over Oshii, We dont see any skilled animators after them. Suzuki, Havent you cultivated any young animators at Production IG? Oshii, Yes, I tried. But the ones having that kind of level havent appeared. Suzuki, That is why we are planning to make another try to cultivate young animators at Nishi Ghibli note: Western Ghibli, Studio Ghibli s training center in Toyota Suzuki, When we were young, the anime industry was rising and lots of young people rushed in. That was something from which many skilled talents grown. It was the same in each kind of business. note: this was during the baby boom after WW Oshii, Indeed, many peopled rushed towards the anime industry as if there werent any recruitments. However, there was another point of view. They didnt have any place of employment. I was in the same position. I wanted to work in the movie industry, though I couldnt find any work and was finally forced to an animation studio. In that age I found that business allowed us to try everything we wanted to do. Due to the luck of that age, many skilled animators were grown during that time. I dont think it is possible to recover the bad situation artificially.
