Anime rating game

Because the words slipped out of my mouth, I said them subconsciously without any hope, and regretted it the moment they left my mouth. I never expected the other person to agree.

"Are you...serious?"

“I never joke with people. If you urgently need money, I can indeed lend it to you, interest-free, and you can pay it back in your lifetime.”

"why?"

"Of course there are conditions for the exchange."

At this moment, Okazaki Tomoya put aside his worries and said seriously:

"What conditions?"

"There's a coffee shop over there, let's go there and talk."

"it is good."

Okazaki Tomoya silently followed behind the two into the cafe. After they finished ordering, he asked again:

"What are your terms?"

"Don't rush, let's talk slowly. What kind of coffee would you like?"

"Plain water."

"It's just a cup of coffee, it's on me, don't be shy."

Seeing that he didn't intend to order, Masamune told the waiter to bring him the same coffee, and then said:

"Since you're in such a hurry, let's get straight to the point. First, I'd like to know why you urgently need the money?"

"To pay for my daughter's medical treatment."

What illness is it? Approximately how much will it cost?

"To completely cure congenital heart disease, it would probably cost tens of millions of yuan."

Okazaki Tomoya looked down at the table, spoke softly, then thought for a moment and added:

"However, if it's just a temporary cure, a little over a million will be enough."

“No problem, what’s your bank card number?” Masamune didn’t hesitate at all. “I’ll transfer 100 million to you first. If it’s not enough, contact me again later.”

"??"

Okazaki Tomoya looked stunned, and stood there for several seconds before he came to his senses.

"Aren't you afraid I'm a fraud? Even if you've met me before, we haven't seen each other for so many years, so we're still strangers."

"Besides, this is not a small amount of money; I haven't even written an IOU yet."

"Besides, 1 million is no small sum. Don't you need to discuss it with your family?"

Seeing that he was beginning to have doubts again, Masamune simply took out a business card from his wallet and handed it over.

"I am the president of Musashino Animation Studio. I wonder if you have seen any of the anime produced by Musashino?"

"Since April of last year, most of the animations we produced at Musashino have been adapted from real people and events."

“I think your story has great potential for adaptation, so I’m willing to lend you money.”

Will you adapt your story into an animation?

Thinking about the past, Okazaki Tomoya felt a pang of pain in his heart and unconsciously clenched his fists.

"Sure, I have no objection. I will fully cooperate if you need any materials from me."

"Are you sure your daughter's illness is heart disease? Can the hospital cure it?" Masamune asked again.

"Yes, I've been to several hospitals. Nagisa also had heart disease when she was a child..."

Okazaki Tomo unconsciously recalled his deceased wife, his face filled with regret:

"If I had been there to take better care of Nagisa when she was pregnant, her health probably wouldn't have deteriorated so much that she would have died in childbirth."

“If I had discussed it with Aunt Sanae and Uncle Akio beforehand, so that Nagisa could go back to the Furukawa family home and have her parents take care of her, she wouldn’t have to struggle on her own…”

Hearing his voice filled with self-reproach, Masamune fell into deep thought.

In the stories I know, Nagisa Furukawa and her daughter Shio Okazaki both survived, were born, weakened, and died because of the town's special power.

In this world where there were no extraordinary powers before, the town was just an ordinary town, without fantasies, miracles, or the light jade that could reverse time.

Although congenital heart disease is difficult to cure completely, it is not considered a terminal illness in today's rapidly advancing medical technology.

If that's the case, there's no need to change the animation production schedule.

After all, CLANNAD is too long, and even if the entire Musashino crew were to work on it, it would still take half a year to adapt it into an anime.

The broadcast is also a problem. If Okazaki Shio is to appear, a 50-episode yearly series would have to be produced. We can't just broadcast ten episodes a week, can we?

The animation production can be done slowly, but the game can be released first.

“Okazaki, our Musashino Animation team is fully booked for the first half of the year, so we will not be making your story into an anime for the time being.”

"While a great story will never go out of style, if you can do a good job of promoting it, it will become known to more people."

"Therefore, before making the animation, I will first find someone to turn your story into a GalGame-type game."

“I have no objection to whatever you make,” Okazaki Tomoya said expressionlessly.

"As the male protagonist in the story, you may have to go and help out then."

"no problem."

"Since that's the case, then it's settled. Saving lives is urgent, so what's your bank account number? I'll transfer the money to you first."

"Wait a moment, let me write an IOU first."

Okazaki Tomoya hurriedly asked the shop assistant for paper and pen, and then wrote down an IOU for 100 million yen.

Chapter 124 Clannad Game Development

A few days later, in the Musashino screenwriting department office.

"How was it, Ms. Mai?"

After Maizo finished reading the Sakagami Tomoyo route in the CLANNAD script, Masamune slowly spoke.

"A very exciting story, but the ending was far too sad."

Maitake put down the Chinese manuscript in her hand and sighed softly:

"I'm sorry, as I get older, I'm not really suited to these kinds of tragic stories. It always takes me a long time to recover from them."

"It was like this with Kaori Miyazono before, and it's the same with Tomoyo Sakagami this time."

"Sigh... President, why did Okazaki Tomoya's surgery ultimately fail? The success rate of the surgery is not low."

"Although the story is touching, the amnesia is too far-fetched and too tragic. I thought it would be a happy ending, but it ended in tragedy instead."

"In addition, it is a wonderful story, but as a script, there are too many errors and omissions."

Just then, the sound of Midori Imai sobbing came from the side.

"Xiaoxi has also passed away. Senior, you've gone too far."

"What's going on?" Maijo asked, looking surprised. "You wrote two scripts at the same time, President?"

"That's not it."

Masamune shook his head slightly, took out the remaining documents from the file bag, spread them out one by one, and placed them on the table.

“Maki-sensei, I wrote a GalGame-type game script. You read the Sakagami Tomoyo route, Imai read the Furukawa Nagisa route, and there are also the Fujibayashi sisters route, the Ichinose Kotomi route, and the Miyazawa Yukine route.”

"In addition, there is the final Makokawanagawa route."

The Nagisa Furukawa route ends with the death of Shio Okazaki, while the Tomoyo Sakagami route includes the aftermath of the Tomoyo After storyline.

The Makokawa Nagisa route involves collecting all 13 Light Orbs, which causes time to reverse, resulting in a happy ending where Nagisa is still alive.

"So it's a GalGame type, no wonder it doesn't look like an anime script. But, with the Sakagami Tomoyo arc being so outstanding, can the other routes compare?"

As they were talking, Maizou picked up the scripts for other routes and started reading them.

Compared to the routes featuring Tomoyo Sakagami and Nagisa Furukawa, the other routes were quite thin and were finished quickly.

Seeing that Midori Imai had already put down the script for Nagisa Furukawa's route, he slowly picked it up and began to read it.

"what……?"

I thought the Tomoyo Sakagami arc was already very exciting, but I didn't expect the Nagisa Furukawa arc to be just as good.

Compared to these two routes, the other routes are far too short, giving the impression of being perfunctory.

After a long while, Midori Imai finished reading first, and, still wanting more, put down the script and excitedly said:

"Senior, you are so awesome!"

"Although the Tomoyo route was also great, I still like the Makokawa Nagisa route the most. It's a happy family reunion. When I was watching it, the song 'Dango Daikazoku' suddenly came to mind."

"But why doesn't Tomoyo's route have a true ending? That's so unfair, it's supposed to be a dual-heroine route."

"There's no such thing as two female leads. There's only ever been one female lead, Nagisa Furukawa." Masamune chuckled, then added, "If I were to give you the task of perfecting the common route mentioned earlier, how would you do it?"

“I will increase Nagisa Furukawa’s screen time. Since she is the true female lead, she should be more outstanding. If we only look at the common route, I prefer Tomoyo Sakagami.”

"Any more?"

"The other female leads have too little screen time. This is so unfair! They are all so cute, but the senior focused all the screen time on Tomoyo and Nagisa."

Having finished reading the final true ending, Maizou, having secured the space, put down the script at the opportune moment and slowly said:

"I feel the same way. President, the story of Nagisa Furukawa and Tomoyo Sakagami is so wonderful that after reading all the scripts, their images are still lingering in my mind."

"As for the other female leads, I've almost completely forgotten about them. Their characters are all very good, so it's such a waste to marginalize them like this."

“If each character has the same amount of screen time as Tomoyo and Nagisa, then the game will be too big.” Masamune thought for a moment and shook his head slightly. “Besides, we’re going to be making an anime about it.”

"Senior, which route will you choose when adapting it into an anime?" Midori Imai asked curiously.

"Nagisa Furukawa is the main story, and Tomoyo Sakagami is the side story."

"That's true."

“President, Musashino is, after all, an animation production company,” Maijo said thoughtfully. “Even for relatively simple GalGame productions, a large number of people are needed due to the large amount of text.”
