The current season is as packed as any good season in the before times, and it's not like COVID ever went away in Japan. I say this because today's the first day since the second wave that Japan has had over a thousand cases. Plus, it's getting colder, and more people are going to be in doors

This isn't necessarily something in the anime industry, but some managers just really want their underlings back in an office as soon as possible where they can be watched at all times, COVID be damned.

While we're on the topic, CAN anime studios make shows remotely? How do they handle poo poo like voice acting?

As a lot of current dubs have shown, recording voice acting from home is very possible. The main issue is that Japanese households might not have enough space for a recording area.

That and it's also just not the way they're used to doing it. American VAs have it a bit easier as many have been recording at home for years, but in Japan everything's tied to agencies that own studios they record at, often in groups. None of that can be really done right now.

How do they handle poo poo like voice acting? va's still go to voice acting booths, but do their lines 1 by 1 or separated by plastic screens. the rest of the process can be done remote, just watch documentaries like shirobako or animation runner kuromi!

I like this trend of punchy anime being made, though it sucks that its bad CG. Maybe someday there'll be a Tough adaption.

My only complaint with Beastars is the translation is unnecessarily literal with some of the names in the English script. Aside from that is a really great show and I can't wait for season 2  .

Forgall posted:Fansubs did some questionable things, but they were way better than netflix subs. Those are just awful. I admit this is just minor nitpicking, but I just want to know how a professional translator looks at a story with a western-derived setting, and a mix of English and Japanese names among the characters, sees "Rouis" and doesn't immediately swap the R for an L. I thought we left the basic stuff like this behind with quick-and-dirty schlock anime translations in the 90's.

I actually have one more question about VA work in Japan. Do they typically record lines for an episode a week before it premieres, or the week of?

They record pretty far in advance, actually. VO recording is actually one of the first things that gets done.

The lighting and textures are also extremely crude and cheap - it's visually unappealing in pretty much every regard.

Willo567 posted:What do they do for weekly series like Boruto? i think anime voice acting actually gets done after most of the animation for the episode is done, not earlier in the process. could be anywhere from a week to months before airing depending on the production schedule. year round series probably have a decent buffer compared to seasonal anime which often are only a few weeks ahead when episode 1 airs and go down to the wire for the final episodes.

I’m watching Girlish number, a show about VA’s. They’re voice acting in a show and they’re supposed to have animation to act to, but the show they’re in sucks so they’re voicing lines based on extremely lovely storyboards. I’m positive that is not an exaggeration on the show’s (Or light novel if it’s in there too) part.

It's the only thing that stops COVID hotspots.
