CATDOLL: Japanese animation supervisor: Directors should make animations well. What kind of mascot is this?

Speaking of Japanese animation directors, many senior animation fans may not be able to recognize all of them, because animation supervisors rarely showed up at various events before, except for particularly famous supervisors, such as Hayao Miyazaki. However, in recent years, with the development of the media and the expansion of the audience, the behind-the-scenes production staff of Japanese animation has become more and more celebrity-like. Voice actors are naturally not to be mentioned. Core animation production staff such as series composition, character design, and supervision have also become like stars and often show up to promote animation. However, if you only focus on creating momentum and ignore animation production, you are putting the cart before the horse. Supervisor Shin Itagaki, who has directed animations such as "Bento" and "Tennis Is Not Funny", recently criticized some supervisors for only focusing on activities and ignoring animation.

Shin Itagaki wrote in his column: "Nowadays, there are those directors who want to be famous. They rarely appear at the animation production site, but they must show up at the event of the animation they are responsible for. In my opinion, this is completely putting the cart before the horse. By the way, I personally hope to be able to make animation until the end of my life, and not show my face everywhere. I have always tried to avoid interviews with my photos. Animation supervision is a job of making animation. There are actually directors who have a lot of unchecked original drawings piled on their desks, and they still go to various events. What on earth do animation producers think to agree to such things?"

Now more and more animation fans are beginning to pay attention to the role of animation supervisors. In many cases, they will consider factors such as animation supervisors and production companies in their selection of animations. If a famous supervisor appears in the production line-up of an animation, it will definitely cause a topic of discussion. Therefore, it is not a bad thing for supervisors to participate in activities and show their faces everywhere. Of course, it would be more perfect if they do their job well first. However, when I saw these words, I suddenly thought of a supervisor who was filming a movie...
