CATDOLL: A freak show in the industry! An animation that took 6 years to prepare was finally broadcast as a rough draft

In recent months, new animation production problems have been numerous, and the frequent exposure of animation delays has become common. The "6HP (Six Hearts Princess)" scheduled to be broadcast on TOKYO MX TV at 19:00 Tokyo time on December 30th has also encountered similar strange problems.

On December 22, Japanese media revealed that the production process of the TV animation "6HP (Six Hearts Princess)" planned by Japanese modern artist Takashi Murakami was not smooth.

On December 19, Murakami Takashi said on his Facebook and Instagram accounts that the work was "the broadcast that fulfilled a dream of 30 years", but he frankly said about the production status: "It is not finished at all." There are still 140 background scenes that have not been completed, and the animation also has 7 minutes of CG fusion scenes that have not been completed, which is simply not enough to catch up with the TV station's broadcast time. It is reported that a general TV animation must have at least 300 scenes. According to the current situation revealed by Murakami, at least half of the content has not been completed. Murakami also frankly said: "It will be broadcast in the form of line drawings and background layout drawings."

It is reported that the animation of "6HP (Six Hearts Princess)" is one hour long, and the first episode is only 22 minutes long. The rest of the time will be used to broadcast the production process of the animation and the documentary of Murakami Takashi's apology. The animation that was supposed to be one hour long was only 22 minutes long, and it was also broadcasted as an unfinished draft, which is unheard of.

"6HP (Six Hearts Princess)" is an animation planned by Japanese contemporary artist Takashi Murakami. The first PV of the work was released at an exhibition at the Palace of Versailles in France in 2010, and a new PV was released in 2013. In 2015, the news of the production of TV animation was officially announced, and it is scheduled to be officially broadcast on December 30, 2016.

The report about "6HP (Six Hearts Princess)" also caused dissatisfaction among many Japanese otakus, who hotly discussed: "It took 6 years to complete 22 minutes, and it was broadcasted as a draft. It's so incompetent." "Will it really not cause broadcast accidents if it is broadcast directly with a draft? I am quite curious about this unfinished product and the content of the apology." "It can't catch up with the broadcast time of the TV station, and it doesn't want to pay the penalty, so it uses an unfinished animation to fool the audience. It's really bad character." "What's the point of broadcasting a draft? It's better to broadcast it for an hour to make a documentary."
