Anime rating game

Of course, Muyo Ashirogi's drawing is very good, and he doesn't have such worries at the moment.

During their casual conversation, the group suddenly noticed that the editor-in-chief had walked in with a group of people.

Among them were not only Ashirogi and his companion, but also Munehaku.

"Editor-in-Chief."

"President Hayase brought a team here for an on-site inspection in order to write a good script for the next season's anime. Yujiro, you are in charge of receiving them."

"no problem."

After inviting the group to sit down and introducing themselves, Hattori Yujiro gradually learned the purpose of Musashino's visit.

Next quarter, two animations will be produced, one based on Munehaku and the other on Ashirogi.

The manga related to the latter, Bakuman, will be a pillar of JUMP for a long time to come, and the anime itself can not only serve as a promotional tool, but Musashino Animation also has high ratings and will most likely bring awards to everyone.

Although the manga that Zongbai is currently drawing is nearing its end and will soon be finished, given President Hayase's creative abilities, it's impossible for it to lack a story.

"The script for the Bakuman anime is actually quite complete. Mashiro-kun and Takagi-kun explained it in great detail before, and Azuki added some details. Only some dialogues need to be revised."

Mairou, holding a notebook and a pen, thought for a moment and said:

"The key to the problem is pure white. According to the president, there weren't too many difficulties when the manga was first serialized."

"Yes."

Hattori Tetsuya nodded slightly:

"Shiina's drawing skills are flawless. When we had a meeting to discuss it, we all agreed that her drawings are works of art and that she could have a place in the manga world just by drawing them."

"The subject matter of the War of Heroes is very appealing, and the story is also very exciting."

"A manga like this would get serialization opportunities whether it's published by Shueisha or by other magazines; there's nothing to discuss."

Maitake, while taking notes, said:

"In animation, being too perfect makes it difficult to create interesting stories. Creating some difficulties appropriately can make the story more exciting."

"Just like Mashiro-kun, who keeps failing but never gives up, it's easier for the audience to empathize with him."

"In reality, Shiina had indeed experienced countless failures before meeting the president."

Huh...?

At this point, Mairou suddenly realized that too many flashback scenes could easily cause audience resentment.

But if you turn the memories into chronological order, that's a different story.

"President, can we reschedule the airport pickup for the second episode?"

"How so?" Masamune asked curiously.

"For the first episode, I want to add some background elements, such as: the protagonist is browsing the internet when he accidentally sees a very beautiful painting, which instantly sparks the idea to make an animation..."

"Stop! I already know what you're going to say next, but this will easily create a lot of bugs, and many settings will need to be changed later."

"Hmm...that's true. I was trying to describe the plot where Shiina keeps submitting manga to the UK, but fails repeatedly. After countless failures, he suddenly receives a phone call from the other side of the world. At that moment, a sense of destiny arises, which can also add some sensory appeal."

"That's possible, but forcing the plot together isn't really appropriate. How about we change it to something like I hadn't seen Mashiro's artwork before, and when Ogasawara recommended it, I completely dismissed it, thinking: 'That's all? What impact can a mere artist have on animation production?'"

Maitake's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly:

"That way, the contrast between the later viewers being captivated by Shiina's exquisite drawing skills will be even stronger."

"In the first episode, we can try to portray the president as a bit more despicable, um... an arrogant and conceited genius. The more hateful he is at the beginning, the gentler he becomes later, which is what is called the contrast moe."

Masamune thought about it for a moment, then unconsciously laughed:

Are you talking about me?

"It's not surprising that it's exaggerated a little bit, is it? That's just how art is."

Am I that arrogant?

"This is an exaggerated result."

"Alright, a little exaggeration is fine, do whatever makes it funny."

Masamune did not refuse. He had just said some time ago that when refining the script, one should not care about one's own opinions.

If they refuse here, it will be difficult for them to create excellent stories later.

Mairou quickly jotted down the details in her notebook, then shifted her gaze to Hattori Yujiro, pondering:

"We're planning to create a few short stories, such as: Shiina Mashiro and the editorial department, but we don't know much about the editorial department. Do you have any good material?"

At that moment, all the editors present realized one thing at the same time.

opportunity!

Given the quality of Musashino Animation, appearing on television as a supporting character would be a decent reward.

This is a rare opportunity for behind-the-scenes professions like editing.

However, given Shiina Mashiro's personality, she rarely came to the scriptwriting department in the past, and each time she did come, she would only say a few words.

There was absolutely no source material.

"Excuse me, is it acceptable if the person in question is not Shiina, but another woman?" Hattori Yujiro asked hesitantly.

“Of course.” Maizo immediately prepared to take notes. “If the story is interesting and suitable, we will change the female lead to Shiina.”

"That makes things easier. We each have many stories to tell. Let me start..."

Chapter 326 Then it's not surprising.

"I see……"

Maitake nodded repeatedly, noting down every story, no matter what it was.

Admittedly, due to Shiina Mashiro's personality, she is not used in most stories.

However, based on the plot and her personality, some interesting stories can also be created.

"Thank you very much to all the editors for providing the materials. I will go back and organize them to see which ones can be used."

"Also, could I ask for everyone's names? They might be useful in the anime..."

After noting down the names and physical characteristics of the editors, screenwriters such as Maijiro and Hattori Yujiro began to tour the editorial department, taking detailed notes on the layout and taking photos.

Even so, once animation production begins, the artists will definitely have to do it again.

Of course, Masamune, who had only accompanied him, also chatted with Hattori Tetsuya, Mashiro Moritaka, and others.

"I'm very comfortable drawing the Bakuman anime. These past few days I've been thinking about the explosive plot twists. I'm confident that I can challenge Munehaku-sensei in the chapter when the manga is successfully serialized."

Mashiro Moritaka hesitated for a moment, then said again:

"However, the two authors' novel, 'The Eve of Fate,' should be coming to an end soon, right? I wonder if I'll have a chance to read it before then?"

Even though this story was proposed and created by President Hayase, he is partly responsible for the manga itself.

However, all the stories in this comic are things that happened to me.

Therefore, Mashiro Moritaka had nothing to be embarrassed about.

Moreover, the opponent he wanted to beat was not Hayase or Shiina, but Muneshiro.

"You can give it a try, but the next few chapters of our comic are full of exciting moments, and the plot will only be more exciting than before."

"It seems there's still no hope."

Mashiro Moritaka looked back and forth between the two, feeling quite discouraged.

Eiji Niizuma was already incredibly talented, but these two are even more outrageous; they're practically from different dimensions.

If it's only Hayase or Shiina, it doesn't matter; they'll win eventually.

But with the two working together, the brilliant storyline and the stunning animation made it seem like they had no chance of winning.

It's a pity that while Takagi is a great storyteller, he's not very good at being innovative, and his drawing skills aren't particularly outstanding either.

If Zong Bai is 120 points plus 120 points, then Ya Chengmu is 80 points plus 80 points. The difference is too big.

"What will Zongbai draw for his next manga? Have you decided yet?" Hattori Tetsu asked thoughtfully. "We discussed this issue in a meeting before. If you plan to draw a prequel or sequel, you can skip the serialization meeting."

The next one.

Masamune fell into deep thought. The manga had progressed to the point where the Conqueror King was about to leave the stage, and there really wasn't much content left. It was expected to end within two months.

And then—

"Mashiro, do you want to draw your own unique manga?"

"Do not want to."

"I see. Then let's continue our collaboration. This time it will be a very long story, possibly serialized for several years."

"It's okay, I enjoy every day we discuss the plot together."

"Thank you, me too."

Masamune smiled and began to think seriously.

If they continue their collaboration, choosing which comic to work on next becomes a very important question.

"Mashiro, should we continue drawing stories about Heroic Spirits?"

"how is it like?"

"Hmm... let me think."

Both Illya and Chaldea are long-running series. If I had to choose one, the latter would be more difficult and challenging to adapt into a manga.

But at the same time, its potential is also greater.

The first few chapters of the original game were long and boring, so some unnecessary plot points were cut, and some original storylines were added...

If, in the future, an anime adaptation were to combine everything from the Fuyuki fire in the prologue to the death of Solomon in the final chapter into a single 160-episode epic, it would certainly be worthy of a five-star rating.

"The story goes something like this... Fujimaru Ritsuka made up her mind and embarked on a journey to save the world with Mashu."

"After that, it was time to save the seven most serious singularities..."

After telling the story of the prologue, Masamune briefly introduced what the singularity was.
