CATDOLL: Ishida Akira appears in the second season of "High School Earth Defense Club Love!"

The second season of "High School Earth Defense Club Love!" has finally started. The Tokiwa Tomaru who appeared in the first episode is the same person as Chiku and Takeshi in the first season, except for the different hair color. The production team is lazy to a new level. In response to this, the animation director Shinji Takamatsu tweeted: "Yes, not only do the characters look the same, but even the voice actor is the same, Ishida Akira." In fact, this is a common use of dual-purpose cards in anime.

The use of a card is a common technique in animation and special effects. It refers to a series of drawn or filmed video clips that are used repeatedly. It is a technique to save money on animation production. It often appears in the transformation and spellcasting clips in each episode, such as works such as Magical Girl. In fact, it was the director of "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED" Fukuda Mitsuo who made the term "card" widely known. At that time, due to insufficient funds when making the animation, the director had to use a large number of cards.

However, in the eyes of Gundam fans, the director's use of these cards is just right, and there is nothing wrong with it. So when watching anime, friends often have a feeling that they have seen this scene or this person somewhere before. This may be because of the use of the cards, not because of the friends' memory deviation.
