CATDOLL: The phenomenon of overtime in "NEW GAME" has caused foreign netizens to complain about long working hours

The new series "NEW GAME" in July is known as the "Shirobako" of the game production industry. The biggest selling point of this work is that a group of cute girls make games. It describes the daily life of Aoba Suzukaze, a fresh graduate from high school, who enters a game company to work. After the broadcast, everyone's evaluation of this work is also very good, but some people have noticed a detail about the working hours, that is, the 18-year-old Aoba's first day of get off work in the company is actually 9 o'clock in the evening, which means that Aoba's duty time is as high as 12 hours! This also reflects the social problem of high working hours in real game companies, animation production companies, etc.

This netizen is probably not someone who works in Japan, and he said that such working hours are incomprehensible. "Suzukaze Aoba arrives at the station at 8:28 and leaves work at 9 pm. A full 12 hours of work. Is it always like this? He doesn't even have his own free time." However, many Japanese netizens said that this is actually normal in Japan, and one netizen pointed out: "Japanese employees are all slaves!"

But actually looking at the time in the original comics, it seems that a lot of changes have been made. However, this kind of working time is very common in the game production or animation production industry.

Another netizen believes that this is actually a dark animation. He said that judging from the light and shadow in this photo, the lighting in Aoba and others' workplace is not very bright, but they appear to be enjoying their work. Suddenly I feel a bit like a horror movie...Aren't you thinking too much?
