CATDOLL: Is the Japanese side going all out for "Once Upon a Time There Was a Spirit Sword Mountain"? The animation will be released as a BD

Recently, Tencent convened many online cartoonists and comic studios to hold the Tencent Industry Animation Cooperation Conference. At this conference, Tencent invited Shinichiro Ikeda and Mr. Itsuko Miyamoto from the Japanese animation production company Studio Deen, which was a great highlight. However, the highlight of this conference was of course the "Once Upon a Time There Was a Spirit Sword Mountain" which Tencent vigorously promoted in China.

In this press conference, Tencent announced the Japanese animation production team of "Once Upon a Time There Was a Spirit Sword Mountain". Through the Staff form, we can find that among the animation production staff, the Chinese side only occupies two insignificant positions of chief director and producer. It is estimated that the specific animation production will be fully entrusted to the Japanese side.

If you are worried about the quality of "Once Upon a Time There Was a Spirit Sword Mountain", then you should no longer think so after seeing this picture. "Once Upon a Time There Was a Spirit Sword Mountain" will not only be broadcast on Japanese TV stations and online platforms such as Niconico, but will also be released as a high-definition Blu-ray disc.

According to the official news released by Tencent not long ago, the animation project of "Once Upon a Time There Was a Spirit Sword Mountain" will be jointly funded by Tencent and Studio Deen to establish an animation production committee, and Huimeng Animation Studio will participate in the investment, which means that "Once Upon a Time There Was a Spirit Sword Mountain" will be produced for profit, and the animation production company Studio Deen will definitely not let it go. The role played by Huimeng Animation Studio in this process is more to test the finished film, provide fairy-style concepts, assist the Japanese production, and train new domestic animators. Therefore, the editor believes that "Once Upon a Time There Was a Spirit Sword Mountain" may become the first Chinese animation work fully commissioned by the Japanese production, which is worth looking forward to.

Regarding the Japanese animation production team, supervision and series composition (storyboard, script adaptation) will be handled by Suzuki Yuki, who was responsible for the performance of "The Magisters", and character setting and monster setting (animated characters and monster images) will be handled by Makoto Iino, who was responsible for works such as "School-Live Island", "Clock Girls Don't Get Hurt", and "Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie". There are no highlights for other positions at the moment.
