How can I let go of the matter of saving my stepsister?

If there is no explosive point, create one, and the rebellious psychology has also risen to some extent. Looking at the barrage of comments floating all over the screen saying don’t drink soda, Totani Kota directly and domineeringly stated that he has received professional training, and no matter how many PVs come, he will never criticize!

While laughing and joking like this, it was exactly eight o'clock. He took a small bottle of happy water and put it into his mouth. Then he slammed it on the table. Then he refreshed the webpage and clicked on Pandia's new work PV.

Suddenly, a low BGM sounded, and a snowy area and a magnificent castle appeared on the screen.

[Ally, I have come to the point where I have no choice but to let you die]

[Then, all Masters have reasons to desire the Holy Grail]

[You are really super cool! ]

[Hahahaha, I finally got the Command Seal.]

......

[Although I know it’s hard to believe at the moment, heroes from all ages and countries awaken in modern times, plundering and killing each other. This is——the Holy Grail War!]

"Huh? What the hell is this?"

After the snowy area, there is a speech by a voice actor, and the visual presentation shows seven inexplicable runes rolling and drifting in the background that is like the surging sea water. Every time a rune switches, a different voice actor speaks.

For a full forty seconds, only this pitiful picture appeared. Unable to bear it any longer, Kota Totani paused the PV and expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Even if it's a teaser PV, this is too cheap. I remember the last time I saw such a simple PV, that work was directly postponed and there was no sign of it at the end."

The graphics are too simple and it is impossible to understand what the characters are saying. It just feels like they are trying to be mysterious. As for the first impression that the animation PV gave to Kota Totani, it is not a good one.

[However, Nakata Joji, Kawasumi Ayako, and Ohara Sayaka are all big names in terms of voice actors whose voices you can recognize.]

[Bullshit, voice actors don’t represent anything, after all, they are just small heads in the production. ]

[Cheap is cheap. Compared with other animation PVs, Pandia’s new work really lacks sincerity this time]

[I was expecting a theatrical version of 5 Centimeters per Second]

Starting with Kota Totani, the audience also started discussing the new work in the barrage. Unfortunately, even if they had some filters for Pandia, when they saw that the new work even had a perfunctory PV, most of the audience still had a pessimistic view.

After all, without Sato Yuu, a job like Pandia, which is full of new artists, would probably be limited to this level.

"Well, keep watching."

Thinking about this, he took a sip of happy water, sighed unhappily, and clicked on the PV again.

This time, there are finally some pictures in the video, but surprisingly, it is not the animation picture that Totani Kota imagined, but...

[Let me ask you, are you my Master... Is that how it feels? So embarrassing! Is it really okay to promote a PV like this? ]

As a clear female voice sounded, the style of the PV changed and it was no longer an animation but a real-life image!

Wearing a golden wig and knight armor, the famous JK supervisor Mochizuki Nanae, who was crazily called "wife" by countless netizens when the photo was posted online, turned out to be a real person!

Waving the big plastic sword in her hand awkwardly, she asked outside the camera, her face flushed with shyness. Not to mention the heroic spirit of a female knight, she was just too cute.

[Yeah, yeah, that's it, President Mochizuki is very, very cute]

[You are just making fun of me! ]

[No way~, Mochizuki, your appearance like this is the best publicity. After all, we are promoting love and hope, and making a light-hearted, fun, and humorous animation.]

"Wait, this voice, could it be..."

Cute and shy Nanae Mochizuki was talking to someone outside the camera. The voice could be heard but the person could not be seen. However, she had several phone calls with Sato Yuu. When Totani Kota heard that voice, he immediately shouted "Masaka", and the audience also frantically commented on the video.

[Good evening, everyone. Isn't it a bad idea to put this kind of live-action footage in an animation PV? But the PV release date given by the president is too tight. As you can see, I can't draw it at all, so I used this format.]

[What can’t you draw... woooooooo]

In true response to that "Masaka", the next moment, Sato Yui appeared in person, announcing his return. He also raised his gauze-wrapped hand to explain why the PV was so cheap and even inserted real-life videos.

As for his words, Nanae Mochizuki, who had been confirmed to be the president and not the supervisor, wanted to refute something, but was covered her mouth by Sato Yu's good hand. From then on, the two of them had a tug of war in the video.

"Don't mention it, they really have a sense of CP."

There had been speculation about the relationship between the two before, and now seeing their interaction makes one feel even more sweet. One is happy that Sato Yu has returned to his loyal Pandia again, and is also happy that he did not sink because of his hand injury. Totani Kota smiled and sighed, which immediately received warm approval from the audience.

The handsome man and the beautiful woman, even if one has a missing arm and the other has no breasts, they each have fatal flaws, but overall, they are still very pleasing to the eye.

[Animation promotion without animation, what a quirk! 】

[I just feel that compared to the animation, the audience actually wants to see the beautiful President Mochizuki, and me, the resolute and unyielding genius supervisor who did not mourn for a broken bone for a moment and immediately rushed to the company to promote the new work! ]

As an animation fundamentalist, Nanae Mochizuki is a traditionalist who insists that animation PV should show animation scenes. In response to this, Sato Yuu smiled playfully, pulled Nanae Mochizuki to show her beautiful face to the camera, and even winked playfully to act cute, while saying weird things that everyone wants to see more of him than animation.

Oh no, he seems to really know that he is the idol of the cute 2D people and the god of animation for everyone!

"Haha, it has to be Sato, he always has something new to offer. After winning the best animation, even the PV is the best this time!"

He had long forgotten that he was criticizing the cheapness of the PV just a few seconds ago, and was laughing and enjoying the real-life appearance. Totani Kota's adorable face was full of smiles, just like a otaku who was stunned to see his idol appear on the TV screen.

Such smiles are also common on the faces of audiences whose expressions cannot be seen by everyone before the live broadcast.

They were really happy to see Sato Yu, who had disappeared after the big incident, appear on the screen in good spirits and serve as the director of Pandia again.

[So, that's how it is. Once again, I returned to Pandia as a supervisor, continuing to promote the love and hope that I love, and producing the animation "Fate/Zero". Please look forward to the battles of servants and the Holy Grail War summoned in different regions and different cultural histories! ]

He appeared suddenly and left in a hurry. Sato Yuma was a man like the wind, so warm, refreshing and free and easy. As he and the still blushing Mochizuki Nanae bowed to the screen, the title of the work "Fate/Zero" (24 episodes) and the release date - July next year appeared on the screen.

Next, a list of staff including scriptwriter, director, painter, voice actor, etc. was shown. During this period, after blinking, the initial excitement passed and Totani Kota sighed.

"The new work "Fate/Zero" mentioned in the last live broadcast is a semi-annual series and will be broadcast in July next year. Has Kami Sato not given up on competing with the national team?

But because of his hand injury, the only one who accepted him was his most loyal Pandia. With this team, how could he make a phenomenal animation and compete with the national team...

Hey, Sato Kami never admits defeat. Although he doesn't want to admit it, this time, the animation may only be able to show his "guts". No matter what, we can only wish him the best. I hope that in addition to the wonderful scenes that Sato Yuu is responsible for, the members of Pandia can hold up and perform beyond their level. "

The name of the animation "Fate/Zero" was revealed during an interview with Sato Yu on the night of the broadcast of "One Punch Man", which made people know that this was an animation used to compete with the national team.

In order to face off head-on, the animation must be of phenomenal level, but... due to various events, Sato Yuu was ultimately unable to accept the olive branch extended by JCstaff. Regarding the production of Pandia, even Totani Kota, who believed in Sato Yuu the most, could only express this expectation and wish.

Defeat was almost certain, and there would be regrets in the end. Feeling unhappy, Totani Kota raised the glass of happy water and poured it into his mouth.

Just at that time, [Oh, I forgot to put up the list of production companies], the staff list was about to be released and the PV should have ended, but Sato Yu jumped back to delay time, and grabbed the production company logo out of thin air with his hand and pulled it down.

【Pandia ＆】

What? A list of production companies? Isn't it just Pandia? But the "&" symbol at the end, which represents the meaning of the union, has several meanings.

Just as I was wondering, the picture changed again. Posters of several works produced by Kyoto Animation, such as "Sound, Euphonium", "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid", and "Violet Evergarden", flashed one after another, and finally stopped on its logo.

[Pandia & Kyoto Animation co-production confirmed! 】

Huh? They really tied Kyoto Animation to the pirate ship! ?

Just as the audience opened their mouths wide in exclamation, "Puff--" the happy water covered the entire screen.

Damn, bad luck! I got sprayed in the face by that fat guy Totani Kota again (angry)!

Volume 145: Chapter Chapter . Some shocking elements

Pandia and Kyoto Animation jointly issued a declaration of war against all nations!

A challenge! In just one night, the news that Pandia's new work director is still Sato Yu, and that it will be produced in collaboration with the old animation company Kyoto Animation, and that the animation "Fate/Zero" will be scheduled to be broadcast next summer, has completely fermented and become known to everyone in the industry.

Pandia is in front, Kyoto Animation is behind. Kyoto Animation, which has always been exclusive, actually led most of its people to join a newly established animation company that has only produced one animation, and was willing to be a small company. Not only was it ranked behind, but it even handed over the supervisor position to a junior like Sato Yu! ?

Just before Umezawa Masashi announced that he would catch up with Sato Yuu to schedule a new film, Sato Yuu immediately announced the broadcast time of his new film, clearly intending to fight to the end. His arrogant attitude was simply saying - National team? You are the challengers!

What confidence, and what arrogance! ?

The two major events were released together in one PV, and the topic level was immediately maxed out. Not to mention that there is no rival in the winter series, even if there is, it must make way for "Fate/Zero" which has not yet been released and only released one PV.

Opening the Neon Animation discussion board, the first three pages are all filled with discussions and debates about Sato Yu's outrageous move.

[Cool! Fight! This is the blood of youth! ]

[Even if Sato Yu loses in the end, I still support him. It's really shameful for a bunch of veterans to get together and bully the newcomers. Isn't that shameful?]

[Here it comes again, regardless of reality, no matter if he is young or old, or if he is alone or in a group, since it is a clear fight, whoever wins will be supported, and the loser will lie down and be stepped on! ]

[The one who is being stepped on must be Sato Yuuko, Kyoto Animation... Moeton Company makes fantasy battle shows. Think about last year, the sudden death of "Phantom World: Infinite Colors" is still a lesson for us! ]

[By the way, even if Sato Yuu wins, it's not glorious, what kind of rotten fish and shrimp are Pandia? The new work is completely Kyoto Animation's substitute. ]

[It’s true, it’s true, a director with a broken hand, can’t even draw a storyboard, just standing there watching others draw, he deserves to lose, even if there’s a one in ten thousand chance of winning it’s not glorious, tut tut tut, pitiful, pitiful]

[Broken hand, broken hand, broken hand, a rookie who can't even draw wants to challenge the national team? I want to laugh! ]

It is said that the Internet has memory, but only a few people can remember it.

Not to mention that Sato Yuu injured his arm while saving others, and it was the colorful medal he left behind for saving dozens of people from Kyoto Animation. Now, because no one died in the fire and it can only maintain temporary popularity, many netizens no longer recognize Sato Yuu's achievements, and only recognize that he broke his arm, couldn't even paint, and relied on personal connections to hold Kyoto Animation host.

Although such negative voices are not mainstream, they are like cockroaches in the kitchen and caterpillars in the food. Just seeing one of them can make people angry and disgusted.

It only takes one person to say something like that under a post to spark a debate, and as a result, the entire forum is filled with chaos.

But this is actually the true psychology of the current animation audience. No one, even the white sons, really trusts Sato Yu, the one-armed supervisor.

In this whirlpool of public opinion, Pandia's official Twitter account quietly released another video, [Yeah! There's a tentacle monster!], which made me confused when I saw the title. I opened it and saw that the right hand was wrapped in bandages and hung on the chest, but the disabled but determined original artist resolutely used his left hand...

"Excuse me, an acquaintance called, I have to go answer it first."

"The balcony is over there, it's quieter."

"Okay, okay, thank you. I'll be back soon."

There was another week between the launch of the project and the official release of the PV. During this period, in addition to cosplaying as Altria and filming that film, Nanae Mochizuki was also not idle.

She ran around to take care of the food and lodging issues for the Kyoto Animation crew coming to Tokyo. So far, she has invited more than 20 Kyoto Animation main artists, including Naoko Yamada, Yasuhiro Takemoto, and Naomi Ishida, to Tokyo.

While showing them around Pandia's working environment and having a preliminary exchange with the company's painters, Yasuhiro Takemoto received a phone call. He hurriedly followed Sugino Miki's instructions and came to the corner of the balcony and called back the number he had hung up before.

"Kyouichiro, what's the matter with you calling me?"

After dialing the number, Takemoto Yasuhiro asked the question knowingly while smiling.

His old friend is called Kyoichiro Shimizu. Like him, he is also an artist in the circle. He has made a name for himself in Tokyo for many years and has supervised several works that have achieved great success. He can be called a "celebrity".

Since he has always been affiliated with Bones, he is also involved in the "DARLING in the FRANXX" project this time. Previously, when Kyoto Animation met with Sato Yugang, it was Mr. Kigami Masuharu who revealed the internal discord in the national team and the information that Umezawa Masashi's supervisor position was assigned by the upper level. It was he who revealed this.

So at this time, this old friend called him. Takemoto Yasuhiro knew exactly what he wanted to say, and as they had known each other for a long time, Shimizu Kyoichiro also knew that he was pretending, so he laughed and scolded him over the phone.

"Still pretending. Don't you know why I called you? Tell me, how did Kyoto Animation get involved with Pandia?"

"You are asking even though you already know the answer. You were not there when the Kyoto Animation fire broke out. When we were trapped on the third floor, more than 20 people were crammed on a staircase that was only a little over a meter high. The smoke was billowing. I was so scared that my legs went weak and my nose and tears were streaming.

It was Sato Yu who risked his life to get us out. We must repay such a great favor."

"This is the truth."

Hearing this, Shimizu Kyoichiro on the other end agreed, but still asked further questions.

"It's fine if you can help with the animation, but if you are tied to a chariot that opposes a bunch of old men like us, and you can't do it in the end, you, Takemoto Yasuhiro, will have a bad ass."

"Well, you know, it's a life-saving favor, even if it's a stinky ass, you still have to hold your nose to it."

"Just do it. Let a newcomer be the supervisor. How can you, the best painters who have been working in the industry for more than 20 years, accept this?"

"Well, you know, I've saved your life, so even if you don't accept it, you still have to let others supervise you."

"Even if that new guy is really talented and his drawings are really good, and he's even said to be amazing, but now his hand is injured, and Pandia is full of new guys, isn't that just a bunch of people from Kyoto Animation doing part-time jobs?"

"Well, you know..."

"Okay, okay, okay, I get it, I get it. It's a life-saving favor, right? Well, you really can't escape from such a great favor, so you can only wade into this muddy water. But I can also see that you are completely dissatisfied with the newcomer Sato, right?"

"...You know, a life saver."

"Oh, that's enough. I'm just afraid that you'll be tied up too deeply. After finishing one movie, you'll be tied up and do the next one. I'll feel relieved knowing your attitude. After finishing this one, go back. I heard that you're going to do a theater version of Violet?"

"Well, Mr. Mugami is in charge of the preparatory work now. Once we are done here and the favor is paid back, we will go back."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and sighed heavily.

Kyoichiro Shimizu is a casual person. As an old painter, it is one thing for him to look down on young people who are just starting out, but he really has no ill feelings towards Sato Yu, otherwise he would not have complained to the people at Kyoto Animation about Umezawa Masashi's quarrel with young people and his disrespect for his elders.

Now he called him just to test his attitude, fearing that those at Kyoto Animation were kidnapped by favors and had to help him make the next one after making "Fate/Zero". After knowing that they would eventually go back to make the Violet movie, he felt relieved.

As for himself... Yasuhiro Takemoto smiled and made it very clear on the phone that no matter how amazing Sato Yu was made out to be by others, he, as a senior, would not accept Sato Yu's reputation.

Everything is just to repay a favor. He has no interest in "Fate/Zero". In his heart, he also does not approve of Sato Yu, who cannot draw and relies on Kyoto Animation to do it for him, but still declares war in a high-profile manner, causing the conflict between their two companies and the national team to become more acute.

"What kind of supervisor is he if he can't draw..."

Yasuhiro Takemoto muttered softly, but was interrupted by Kyoto Animation artist Mamoru Sudo who came to find him.

"Mr. Takemoto, come in and see, there's a monster!"
