Your Name Making-Of Documentary.

Your Name Storyboard.

This is an absolute goldmine for animation enthusiasts! (That is, if you know Japanese 🥲)

The documentary is hosted on a Chinese website, and the entire video is in Japanese without English subtitles.

But starting around 17:08, you can literally watch how an anime film like this is made at the ground level, how the different departments work, how the scenes are constructed, and how everything comes together.

The rest of the documentary covers other parts of the production as well, including music, voice acting, and various other departments.

Key animators: Sora Kawamitsu, Yojiro Sakai, 456kanai, Bahi JD, Runze Wang, Dango Sakata, denPooL, Yuu Yoshiyama, Hayato Kurosaki, Rama, Aimman Ibrahim, Run Yang, tsmuokki, Yooto. [Source 1, Source 2]

Hi everyone,

I am conducting a research project analyzing Shueisha's decision to hand THE ONE PIECE remake to WIT Studio while Toei Animation continues producing the main weekly anime.

I’d love to get your thoughts on which approach you prefer and why. Toei has built a 25-year legacy with classic voice acting and continuous releases, while WIT Studio brings high-end modern animation (Attack on Titan, Vinland Saga) and tighter seasonal pacing.
The study focuses on current fan expectations and studio reputation rather than final result, because it is not released yet.

Please share your opinion in the comments (I really need your help to complete this research project!):

So which studio do you prefer for One Piece, and why?

From what I know so far, they do the line art and correction that Sakkan director made. My question is do they also have to color in the shadow/highlight/etc too? Or it's just the normal lineart, shadow lineart, so on and they're done?

TLDR: When do you consider the work as 'finish' as second key animator/nigen animator.

(English isn't my first language.)

Hi everyone!

I’m currently working on SakugaGo, a modern aggregator designed to bring together anime animators and their work from multiple sources (like Sakugabooru, AniList, and social media) into a single, intuitive, and searchable platform.

The goal is to create a better hub for fans, artists, and researchers to discover, study, and share sakuga without having to manually cross-reference different sites.

Before diving into months of heavy development, I want to validate the core features with the community. I’ve put together a brief, anonymous feedback form (via Tally) to learn about:

How you currently search for animators and key animation clips.

Features or tools you feel are missing in current sites (Sakugabooru, database trackers, etc.).

What would make a unified sakuga database most useful to you.

Link to the survey: https://tally.so/r/1Aya81

At the end of the form, you’ll find options to leave your email or follow our Twitter account if you'd like to follow the development progress.

Thank you so much for your time and feedback!

crazy how we get this animation every week and at this level for such an unimportant part, makes you wonder how amazing the animation will be on the important parts.

Worth the watch trust me
