CATDOLL: Is it necessary to have funds to make animation?

What is the most important thing for an animation? For example, the story content, the ability (moment) of the production company, good supervision, funds, etc., so which one is the most important? As the saying goes, money makes the world go round, so is the production fund the most important thing in making animation? A Japanese netizen posted a message saying: "The most important thing in animation should be the fund (production fee), right?" Japanese netizens responded to the post and discussed.

It depends on the director’s connections. For example, the same is true for the animation of One Punch Man. Even if there is money, if the director has no connections, he will not find those who draw the original drawings.

The supervision technique, the time arrangement and the staff’s love for the work!

The most important thing is luck.

What the hell is love? Even if the original author is involved, a work that is destined to fail will still fail...

What’s important is money and time, and after these two, what’s important is people.

Even if you have money, it won't work if the script and staff are not good. The key is the staff and script for drawing, as well as good performance. It has basically nothing to do with money.

Even if you have money and time, if the producer is not good enough, you can only make "Dragon Ball Super".

The money paid to animation companies seems to be basically the same, so it has little to do with money.

The most important thing is process management. Have you guys learned nothing from watching Shirobako?

Isn’t the movie “Bahamut” a typical example of how even having money is not enough?

My feeling is:

Beautiful animation = money + time + production team

Interesting animation = supervision + production team

Script, supervision, drawing, performance, music, voice actor

That should be it, right? Then comes the publicity and advertising.

No matter how hard you struggle, you can't save the animation just by relying on the director's tactics...

If money alone could solve the problem, animation would just be done with a large number of people, but animation will not become more interesting just because there are more staff.
