Good morning! I just finished watching some programs from the second day of the Aniplex Online Fest. Aniplex have uploaded replays from the Online Fest which will be available for one week after the live stream. Last day will be on 12 midnight (PDT) of July 12, so if you are interested, watch the programs now before they set the videos to private.
The Online Fest had various programs lined up which are related to anime. Interviews with voice actors, composers, animation companies, anime produces, messages from anime singers, and a lot more! You shouldn't miss this if you like anime.
The programs I was really interested to watch were "How To Produce Anime", "Talking and Drawing with CloverWorks", "Hiroyuki Sawano Talk Show", and the "Songs and Messages by Artists Vol.2".
In the How To Produce Anime program, producers were invited to discuss the process of producing an anime. Being an anime producer seems like an awesome job. They get to decide what must be for the anime. They are even the ones who chooses who sings for the anime!
Next one I enjoyed watching was the Talking and Drawing with CloverWorks! There was tour around the CloverWorks studio showing where the employees work. The Creators Room where the animator are look liked the messiest one. Lol. There was also a live drawing on the second half of the program.
While the live drawing was on going, they have talked about how long does it take to make and how many people are involved with making one episode of an anime.
They also discussed about how their company is taking precautions during this pandemic.
I also looked forward to the talk show with Hiroyuki Sawano. I've been seeing his name quite frequently and I knew about him through Attack on Titan soundtrack so it's awesome to watch an interview of him and talk about his greatness in making soundtracks. Lol. Well, he shared about how he comes up with ideas and what brought him to pursue being a musician.
Of course, last but not the least is the Songs and Messages by Artists Vol.2! I watched the program because of LiSA. There are other artists being featured as well like her friend, Eir Aoi, who opened the program. (LiSA was the finale of the program.) I watched the whole program and suprised to find amazing singers like Asca and Mashiro Ayano. I like them and will check more of the music!
I haven't watched anime for more than 2 years now and this online fest brings so much fun memories that makes me want to return watching. Ah, one day I can continue watching all those anime shows again! That's all for this post. Have a nice day!!!
