Hello, this is Sakamoto.
Here’s my dormitory diary entry for June.
My studio is getting a bunch of contract work for assisted key animation while we have some episodes waiting to be checked, so for now, I’m continuing as an in-between animator for the meantime.
Our pool of in-house projects is drying up,...

Here's my dormitory diary entry for May.
It's been approximately two months since I started training. One thing that my senior emphasized to me is the significance of developing a style and getting comfortable with it. Apparently, that makes it easier to draw cleanly. Thus, I've been diligently honing my line work every...

Apologies for the delay. Here's my post for May.
I'm getting a bit more comfortable with my work at Sasayuri, an animation lecture/convention. I'm truly impressed by the animation talent they have here.
There's still a lot of work to do, though. I need to learn how to pr...

Hello! It's Kuroda here with my May dorm diary entry.
Today marks the last day of Golden Week. I returned to my hometown and caught up with friends from university and childhood buddies I hadn't seen for a while. The whole trip was basically just me catching up with people, so there wasn't much downtime. Regardless, it ...

Every day is a struggle with training, but if things go well, I hope to finish within this month. I'm doing everything I can.

Hey, it's Okabe here.
My first day at work is coming up, and I gotta admit, I'm pretty nervous. I've kinda gotten used to living on my own, and I can find my way to my usual train station and the local government office without using a map now. I've also been watching the nearby supermarket deals daily, so I'm ready for...
