CATDOLL: The next Yamamoto Kan? Director of "Feel Free!" announces resignation

The TV animation "Feel the Thing! The Live Show" has attracted many viewers with its relaxed style and interesting characters. The third season of the animation is currently being broadcast. However, the director of the work, Kotaro Ishidate, suddenly announced that he would resign from the director position.

To this end, Ishidate Kotaro also made his own remarks:

The eighth episode of "Let's Explore! The Live Drama" has been aired. Some people may have noticed the problem with the subtitles. Although the animation series is still being aired, I resigned from the supervisory position starting May 20.

I don't want to explain the reasons here.

Although I am a self-willed and selfish person, this is the first time that I have resigned from a supervisory position on my own during the broadcast of an animation.

I'm very sorry for causing concern to all the fans who supported the work.

However, not only the plot, but also the editing of the sound and other contents had been completed to the last episode a long time ago, and I also gave instructions on the storyboards, visual performances, etc. (although only half of them were retained), so what remained was to fine-tune the finished product before the deadline and add SE&BGM and other processes.

(slightly)

I am very sorry for my irresponsible behavior. I personally feel very sorry for giving up my work in this way. From now on, I will be an outsider in this work, but please continue to cheer for "Feeling! Live Drama".

"Feel Free! Club Live Drama" tells the life stories of ordinary club members in an ordinary high school. What is "my characteristic"? What is "where I belong"? In order to explore these difficult-to-define questions, the girls in the story struggle to achieve a "different high school life", and gradually grow up in joy, anger, sorrow and happiness. This work is full of realism and is a comedy depicting the activities of youth high school clubs. What is disturbing is that Kotaro Ishidate was not only responsible for the supervision work, but he also took care of the original story and series composition. And the previous encounter with similar problems may be traced back to Yamamoto Hiroshi's "Lucky Star". So how will this incident develop? Anime Star will continue to pay attention!
