Culture Japan Season 2 Episode 9 - How Anime is Made at JC Staff 

I have a deeper respect for anime now... The amount of work that goes into a singe frame is maddening at least.

I admire these people and their hard work, I don't think I could do this work without going insane, especially with the tight schedule.

Huge respect for these anime makers. Hats off.

God Bless Japan

the girl in the beginning is really fluent in english... im so amazed

9:40 did anyone else see the guy come around the corner with an exclamation point above his head?

as an ordinary person, I always admire people who have a talent for drawing, and for anime artists who even have to make moving images that require them to draw lots of layers it's cool but also tiring because imagine sitting for hours to draw. so big respect for every artist. and please support animator with buy or watch it legally

Railgun and maid-sama was made in JC-staff!!!! It's so amazing

You mean to tell me they make anime on those old ass computers? Ok mad respect.

JC Staff is one of my favorite anime studios out there. It's so awesome to see this!

i feel for those artists...their working conditions are not what i expected...its like they work in a Hoarding house..thats sad...they should have more room and comfort :/

respects to anime staff, such a complex work.

So awesome to see the professionals at work, I wish I could draw like that!!

The whole video was legit him saying "hai hai hai, mhhhh, hooooooh"" lol

Hmmm... Im only 16 and I've been trying my hand in animation for 6 years now, with bone animating. For the past six years its just been stickfigures (but trust me it helps amazingly). And its frame by frame animating, no tweening, no shortcuts, just hard move all nodes in all frames. In middle school, I took 2 art classes. Just last year I took a class on movie production, this year im going to take an animation class. And after that, an anatomy class. I've been practicing drawing recently in facial expressions. Body proportions, body shapes, and now im going to try and take that into animating. Tommorow, im going to try and animate a 2D animation of a head turning into another direction. And since I been playing with Maya autodesk recently, im going to try and enroll myself in a class that teaches you about 3D animating. Then get some connections with some production workers (thank god I live in Orange Country, CA) Because in all its not what you know its who you know... Then BAM. I got a broad knowledge of overall art and animating, connections with animation production, and the science of physics and anatomy. Im probably going to take Japanese in college (because japan is one of the most famous animator countries). How far do you guys think I'll make it? E: (May 4th 2018 and Sep 23rd 2018) 16 year old me would be proud. I have now worked in anime-productions and other animated-productions. Several of them in fact. The one I can name as of now is To Be Heroine. Its on crunchyroll: www.crunchyroll.com/to-be-heroine I worked in many anime-productions and have far exceeded any and all expectations my 16 year old self would ever think of. Albeit I am still regarded as a newbie and very inexperienced as of now. But things are looking exceedingly bright. I just need to put the work in and to keep up what I am doing. :) As of now, I am currently taking it a bit slow and practice more before I apply to do more jobs. But soon within a few months I'll start pushing again. :) Thanks for you all for following me through this, honestly I am still suprised some of you still stumble across this comment. E: (June 13th 2019)(I'm 21) I have now worked with JCSTAFF on One Punch Man Season 2 Episode 8 and Ep 11. Suiryu vs Monsters and Garou vs Genos ----------------------------------------------- Feel free to message me on twitter anyone who reads this. I can share experiences. ALSO TO ANIMATOR FRIENDS THAT MIGHT STUMBLE UPON THIS COMMENT IN THE FUTURE. Let the 16 year old me dream haha. twitter.com/ZucchiniJuice

The simplicity of old documentaries give me such a sense of ease and calmness.

Is it strange that as English person I enjoy reading the subtitles in English when their speaking Japanese more than listening to them speak English and seeing the Japanese subtitles.

Let's appreciate the people who put that hard work in this project.

Viva Japan! You guys are awesome!

It's crazy how low tech everything is they make it seem so simple yet so diligent at the same time you can tell a great deal of perfection is put into everything

yet they are paid below min wage... for those of u who have the money, buy ur anime!

Danny Cho, I am very grateful to you. Thank you for sharing this knowledge to hundreds of thousands of people.

mmmm...hmmmm....hooo....haihaihaihaihaihai....hmmm...hoooo....

AWESOME video, thanks Danny!

japan is the best

I can't believe how much work is put into it. I thought most of it was digital by now, even the drawings. I didn't realize it was still scanned. I'd have thought they were doing the drawings on the computer as well. I tried scanning my drawings a long time ago, but there was too much detail when I move on to the coloring. Now I realize why they scan at such a low resolution (144 DPI).

Why almost everyone Doesnt appreciate their works? Its so hard to animate guys ya know? So if you guys are just gonna complain go make your own anime

This answered so many questions I couldn’t otherwise find in the usual google search. I didn’t know the coloring software they used was called Retas Studio (PaintMan) and from the same company Clip Studio Paint comes from, Celsys. Thank you for answering the question of how they go from pixelated lines to smooth lines after coloring! I wasn’t sure if they did the lineart twice (pixelated and smooth) or just used a special filter.

It's cool that they were allowed to take footage of the work that they do to create anime.

J.C Staff = One of the greatest things on planet Earth.

mmmmmhhhhmmmmhh hai hai hai hiai hai mmmmmhhhhmmmmhh hai hai hai hiai hai mmmmmhhhh xDDDDD

Mother of animation where country with full of discipline can make every work incredible...thats why japanase r the country can be so advanced in any kind of job bcause of optimistic thinking...

this song at the beginning. why does it seem like Japanese women have such high pitch voices. I find it crazy and incredible

great! i know how anime was done, but never with the digital technology as today! amazing was to know that not all studios work in FULL HD only in above of HD like this studio. And the computer look olders there, but may be its enogh for their great job. THANK YOU SO MUCH from Argentina

mmmmmhhhhmmmmhh hai hai hai hiai hai mmmmmhhhh

and now i understand why i saw so many jagged lines when people were filling the images in. Thanks for the footage it was fun watching!

Am I the only one who saw the oppai mousepad at 8:43 ?

J.C. Staff is by far my favorite studio, tell them to keep up the good work!

so no one was annoyed of the camera man?! haiyaiyai haiyaiyai- hmmm

i think the reason behind a very good anime would be based on the number of animators and artist in the studio. the larger the number of workers, the fewer work per person so they would have enough time to really show awesome details. Most poor related anime comes from smaller studios with few members who work in a short limited time and sometimes makes their work shobbie GREAT WORK to all MANGA studios who make this world EXCITING

Wow! I can't believe an anine is so hard to be made!

Japanese anime has been a phenomenal presence in the world , it amazes me there are such limited serious studies and documentaries recording it's development

Just goes to show if you have the willpower, the time you can do anything

Wow the amazing thing is that those people even if it's a lot of stressing work they're always ready to make their best to make the anime... really AMAZING!! I am italian and i want to make an anime in the future

Im not the biggest anime fan, but I've watched a lot. I'm in the process of creating my own anime right now, this certainly helped :)

this is the kind of stuff I always asked myself...I'm glad about watching this video

Amazing to see that they use software like After Effects and 3DSMAX aswell, although really outdated.

That's where they make PaRappa TV/Anime for PaRappa/PlayStation Fans.

thank you all for making anime and putting your time and effort making it to!!!!!!:)

That dude kept saying hmm hmmm hmmmmm. I was like stop f-ing moaning. It really pissed me off.

Thanks for this video. I've always been extremely curious on how anime are created. I always had an idea on how hard it is, but now, I know that it's an extremely time consuming job and fans can appreciate more the work of these animators.

Me and 3 other friends really want to make an anime together, (hopefully one day, work making anime in japan together.) and I don't know where to start this anime (im confused) any tips? Please help me out here it's my dream since i was 6.

very informative video! also like to give props to the preparation of the visit, I mean having two camera men, having a lot of questions to ask, the whole compositing. subscribed!

So this is where the greatest anime of all time was made xD cool cool love my railgun/index

holy effin shit.. I was sleeping like a baby .. i was just randomly clicking videos about animation and played it on autoplay... when the op song played.. i fking woke up in a nostalgia... god i miss this show on animax... god so much nostalgia.. i miss mirai... Hi danny choo... 😅...so much nostalgia...

Seems like a ton of work in general, but it's very interesting!

i like when danny's at jc, the way he talks is like when you're watching a nature show

What are they using. windows 95?!?

I'm an animation student and I find it quite clean actually because in my university even though we are still studying this,whenever we start drawing,for example in the light box room,it becomes like a room of war

How many times he said "Hi, hi, hi". Note: "Hi" in Japanese it's for "Yes"

WoW...just discovered the video here..very very interesting...And MANY THANKS for the ENGLISH subtitles. ..oh to visit JAPAN someday....TOYS tOys ToyS... THANK YOU from WESTERN CANADA

a camera man, and another cameraman for the cameraman... lol

2020, still no studio outside of japan can achieve such animation quality

Wow that guide is totally my type 😍🥰

I would of been saying that way more than he did my face was stuck to the screen I was soo amazed on how they made all the scenes, characters and etc. at the end he bowed twice, I would of bowed 3 times I would of been soooo thankful for having the ability to see the process of an anime creation........for many many years I always wondered how they made these animation. Makes me want to try this out.

So, they're the guys who animated One punch man season 2? hhmmmmm

this is one of the most interesting videos I saw this year... thank you so much

The camera guy's "mhm" noises are so fucking creepy and disturbing, jesus christ

HI guys from the caribbean hello and thank you for making this series...

I want to work as artist in adaruto anime production studio XD)))) Super episode! Please more like this! P.S. I didn`t saw the iMacs and macbooks)) All computers are usual.. Strange things here))

In pretty much the same fashion animation had been handled before the advent of digital ink and paint. Basically animators put all the moving parts on celluloid paper (cels are transparent sheets) using grease pencil or something similar and those sheets would be laid over the backgrounds and shot under a camera, a frame at a time. The cels would be painted on the reverse side using paint as to not mess up the pencil work. Editors would then clip and splice the filmstrips to put it all together.

The man who's holding the camera doesn't stop whispering "hai hai hai" and making little noises like he's moaning, this is disturbing and harms the great video.

Danny you are one lucky person. Very few person can say they have stepped into an anime studio.

02:15 those mousepad though

I like how Danny has to give acknowledgement noises even while he's filming.

Muchos departamentos especializados, se ve un poco estresante dibujar tanto XD

I love this Episode, and this Series! Thank you very much!

hmmm... oooh... hai hai hai hai... ¬¬*

♬ Danny Choo, Danny Choo this is why I subscribed to you.♬ ♬ Have to say you're the man, making videos about Japan.♬ ♬ Look out! here comes Danny Choo.♬

mmmm, mmmm, m'm'm', mmmmmmm I had to...

great show! i finally know behind the scene how anime are made

I'm stuck with After Effects and Illustrator instead of Retas...

This is why I respect Japanese and their masterpiece..... and this is why i loved them all.... because they made a great art.....

mmm...hai hai hai mmm...hai hai hai mmm...hai hai hai mmm...hai hai hai mmm...hai hai hai mmm...hai hai hai

Great video, absolutely wonderful that you've shared this. Thanks.

Haiyayayayayayaya.

After reading the subtitles, when danny started talking in English, I couldn't stop looking at the kanji...

Hmmmm hai hai hai.... ooooo hmmmmm hai hai

Danny should make one about how visual novels are made at visual arts key. Would be really interesting to see that.

hmm... hmm... hmm... xD

very interesting. Loved anime for nearly 10yrs now. Amazing how better it gets by the year with technology and inspiration. I got 100's of picks but I say the best picture for anime is the Monogatari series.

- blablabla ... - hmmmm mmmmm mmmmm - blablabla blabla... - narohodo narohodo - blablabla blablabla - hayhay hayhay - blablabla ... - hmmmm mmmmm mmmmm mmmmmmmmmm

This is well made, I appreciate their efforts.

I love that font you use in the intro

Culture Japan was aired on my country last year! Never thought it was actually a project by this people..

Oh That's because he was raised in the UK when he was younger...And lived there till he moved to japan at like 20-30 years old...You can find more info on him on his site ^^

the guy at 9:40. XD this was really nicely done. really wanted to know how they do it. Though what really caught me was the credits. The kawaii illustrations, at the credits, were absolutely cute cute cute>_

I love this episode !!!! Knowing how create anime and animation series in the same time. Cool

Straight from japan, respect the originators.

So wonderfull.... really... if i met those people someday i will hug and pray them to do this looot of work whithout giving up every day.... Unlike us in italy that have so much lazy people😑
