I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

Unfortunately, I didn't bring a pen.

......

"Can we learn it too?" Emiya Mumei asked Kurokawa Kazuya with a puzzled look.

“Of course, it doesn’t matter if there are one or two more.” Kurokawa Kazuya said, looking at Emiya Kiritsugu and Emiya Mumei, “It doesn’t matter if there are one or two more people.”

And...Emiya, the Ripple Messenger, is pretty cool too.

"What about Grandma? Is Grandma okay?" Emiya Mumei asked.

"No, never mind." Kurokawa Kazuya shook his head: "The old man's body is more fragile after all. If he were to fall down while cultivating... that would be terrible. But if you don't care about that, I don't mind either."

Elderly people naturally have less life energy, so even if they try to learn, they won't make much progress, and they might not even be able to learn it.

Moreover, if you don't adapt to this breathing technique during the learning process, you might suddenly stop breathing, which would be terrible. Although the ripples also have a therapeutic effect and can provide some relief, it can be quite harmful.

But that only applies to the living, not the dead.

It's not surprising that anything can happen to someone of this age.

"Hmph! Just watch, Ilya will definitely be the first to learn it." Ilya said, hands on her hips, "I'll show you what a genius is."

"Alright, then let me see your talent. Ilya, first one?" Kurokawa Kazumi said with a smile.

"No—Kiritsugu first, is that alright?"

“Of course, my princess,” Kiritsugu Emiya said with a smile.

“Well then, are you ready?” Kurokawa Kazuya said, extending his finger and poking someone. “Let’s get used to it first… By the way, I actually built a Hell Rising Pillar in my JOJO theme park. If anyone is interested in improving their Ripple, feel free to tell me.”

"Cough-cough-"

The five of them started coughing, and it took a while for their breathing to gradually return to normal.

While this method won't allow them to immediately learn ripples, it's still a good way to familiarize them with the process, making it easier for them to learn later.

So, during this period of time...

Kiritsugu Emiya contacted someone he knew to procure the "Mystic Eye Killer".

He then taught everyone in the Emiya residence, except for that old man, how to use Ripple.

Chapter 156 The Beginning of JOJO Club

"They're really rich..." Hideaki Anno couldn't help but sigh as he looked out the window of his staff room and through the iron bars at the building next door.

I heard that the building next door and the current staff building were not originally built by [JOJO Company], but by a game company.

This is easy to understand; many companies do this now.

Simply put, it involves buying land, building buildings, taking out bank loans, and then continuing to buy land, build buildings, and take out bank loans.

After all, this is much more profitable than making games or selling anything.

The building was bought at a high price by his new company as soon as it was completed.

Including the six-story staff building next door.

Yesterday, the original GAINAX staff started arriving one after another and settled here... After all, none of us are from Kanbuko City. I don't know why the new president chose to put the headquarters here.

Are house prices cheap?

That doesn't make sense. Even though we haven't met in person yet, we can tell just from our recent experiences.

The new president is definitely not short of money.

dong dong——

"Anno, are you awake?"

"Yes, he's awake." Hearing the sounds outside, Hideaki Anno put on his coat, grabbed his briefcase, and opened the door.

"Let's go then...after all, today is the first day of work on the job." Hiroyuki Yamaga said with a smile.

Or rather, they've been laughing a lot lately.

"However, 'Gunbuster' has to be put on hold," Hideaki Anno said with some emotion. After all, this was his first anime as director, and the company he was working on was acquired...

"After we finish 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure,' will we have enough funds left to continue? After all, didn't the new president say we can do whatever we want with the leftover money?" Hiroyuki Yamaga was also looking forward to it: "Hmm... just thinking about having enough funds and doing whatever we want... gives me a lot of ideas. By the way, how are your preparations for 'JoJo's' coming along?"

"Ah, preparations are almost complete." Hideaki Anno nodded. He hadn't been idle during this time; instead, he had read through the first, second, and currently serialized parts of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure several times.

Although it's the first part that needs to be made, you must familiarize yourself with it to avoid any mistakes and omissions. It's best to succeed as soon as possible and avoid any errors along the way.

After having breakfast downstairs, the group walked together toward the building next door.

This building has twelve floors and is nearly fifty meters tall.

It is a rare building in Japan, both in this era and in the future.

Due to factors such as topography and earthquakes, Japan has always kept the number of buildings exceeding 30 meters to a very small extent.

Furthermore... this period is also the last time Japan experienced rapid growth, a time when real estate prices soared.

Even into the 21st century, most parts of Japan still look like they did in the 1990s, and walking the streets at night feels like walking through ghost towns.

so...

The sight of this building only strengthened Hideaki Anno's and his colleagues' belief that "the company is very rich."

After the door opened, the group of people went inside one after another.

The interior of the JOJO Company building looked very empty, and there was no one at the reception desk. The air was still filled with the lingering smell of freshly installed construction materials.

"The elevator... is this way," Hiroyuki Yamaga said, looking around. "The office is on the eighth floor."

"The eighth floor, huh? What about the other floors?" Mosayuki said with a sigh as she looked at the new office building.

"I don't know... I'll just have to ask."

......

"So... apart from the eighth floor, all the others are currently vacant?" Upstairs, Okada Toshio, who was with Kurokawa Kazuya, paused for a moment before speaking.

“Ah, that’s right.” Kurokawa Kazuya nodded, rocked his chair, and said, “After all, it’s our first time starting a company… Even though all the permits and paperwork are done, it’s definitely better to have a private building. Well… I saw that this one was built in Kanbuko City, and it was quite nice, so I bought it.”

Kurokawa Kazuya tossed the documents aside as he spoke: "However, these are things you need to consider, not me. I'm only responsible for taking the money and proposing the animations I want to make. You can do whatever you want with the rest. I'm too lazy to care, and I don't want to care."

Okada Toshio's eyes lit up.

This... even though he sold GAINAX and became the vice president.

But... thinking about it carefully, it seems like nothing has changed?

The president is too lazy to manage things; he just wants to make animation.

This is essentially equivalent to someone paying off their debt to Bandai for free, giving them an office building as a gift, and then sponsoring them with a large amount of money to freely produce the anime they like. In return, they only need to produce anime that satisfies the president's tastes.

And it seems like you never have to worry about running out of money halfway through making an animation.

This...this...how blissful!

Okada Toshio looked at Kurokawa Kazuya's face and confirmed it again and again... Yes, this must be true.

Having worked at various companies before finally founding GAINAX, I've seen a lot over the years.

Kurokawa Kazuya, seeing his expression, naturally knew what he was thinking, but he didn't care at all. All he cared about was the animation's production progress... Acquiring a company directly was also to gain control over the animation production, meaning—if he wasn't satisfied, he could simply redo it.

Such power...

That's why they were acquired so readily.

In fact, there is no "board of directors" in this company, because it is a private company and all the capital is concentrated in his own hands.

After all, they don't need to rely on financing to make money.

"President, Vice President." Such voices came from outside the door.

"Come in," Kurokawa Kazuya said.

A group of people outside pushed open the door one after another and walked in: "Welcome, everyone from the former GAINAX. First, let me introduce myself. My name is Kazuya Kurokawa, and I am also your new president. Um... I won't say much more. The equipment has all arrived... Can we start working now? I'm really looking forward to the animation of 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure' that will be brought to life in your hands."

Chapter 157 Zian Wu Ren

Work has begun.

Everyone was very excited.

However... right now, there's something very important for Kurokawa and Miya.

That's voice acting.

"You don't need to worry so much about voice acting, do you?" Toshio Okada asked, puzzled. In this era, voice actors are still mostly behind-the-scenes workers.

But...

In Kurokawa Kazuya's opinion, how could an interesting anime be created without a good voice actor?

Especially in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure... And if we're talking about the most iconic voice actor in this anime, in his opinion, without a doubt, it's Takehito Koyasu, the voice actor for the villainous boss Dio Brando.

'Koyasu... Koyasu...' Kurokawa Kazuya was thinking, when exactly did he debut?

I can't remember!

Although I really liked the voice acting for this character, I didn't pay special attention to it before.

Or... try something else? Like summoning Hans Christian Andersen or Ozymandias... but forget it... I don't even have that ability.

Even if it were summoned, it probably wouldn't be of any use.

Think about it carefully...

I can't figure it out!

I should have checked his Wikipedia page; it should have been there... Oh right!

I remembered.

The information I prepared when I first transmigrated should have been written down in it, so as not to forget it.
