"What do you mean you want it all?" Yasuyuki Takeuchi said irritably. "Let's switch. It's my turn to look at yours."

"Alright."

After exchanging scripts, Kinoshita Seiichi watched the scripts carefully again.

Dragon and Tiger

The female lead is Taiga Aisaka, and the male lead is Ryuji Takasu. Hmm, I don't know them.

Turning the page, the story begins with Taiga Aisaka mistakenly putting a love letter into Ryuji Takasu's schoolbag. To avoid being killed by the company, she sneaks into Takasu's house late at night with a wooden sword, and the story officially begins from there.

As he flipped through the pages, Kinoshita Seiichi inexplicably saw a resemblance between Sanzenin Nagi and Aisaka Taiga.

If the first season of Hayate the Combat Butler was just the beginning, the subsequent seasons may have the potential to be five stars.

If Dragon and Tiger is well-made, it should be at least 4 stars, and has some potential to be 5 stars.

Moreover, unlike Hayate the Combat Butler, which obviously has a sequel, this is a complete story with a beginning and an end.

"Hmm... Why do we have four animation directors at Musashino? Why can't I create clones? I wish I were the only director left at Musashino."

"That's a really mean thing to say!" Takeuchi Yasuyuki looked at him speechlessly, then shook his head with a smile. "So, which one do you want?"

"The other two works?"

"Sumo wrestling and volleyball are both sports-themed."

Kinoshita Seiichi immediately rejected the other two in his mind. Sports themes are inherently weak, and besides, he wasn't good at that type of film.

Admittedly, if done well, it can be quite interesting.

The problem is that the chances of failure are even higher.

If there are works that are more suitable for you, there is no need to force it.

However, even so, choosing between Hayate the Combat Butler and Toradora! is still not an easy task.

Both of these themes are very interesting, and they are my favorite types.

Upon noticing Kinoshita Seiichi looking around, Takeuchi Yasuyuki couldn't help but laugh:

"You can only choose one. We also need to decide on the production staff for each group at today's meeting, so don't think you can just grab it and run."

"how could be?"

Kinoshita Seiichi chuckled twice, looking at the script with a troubled expression.

"Why do I have to choose between fish and bear's paw? This is too cruel!"

“That’s just the way things are,” Masamune replied with a smile. “If you can’t decide anytime soon, I’ll just name someone directly.”

"Huh...? Wait a minute, President, will the voice actors for these two anime be the ones doing the voice work themselves, or will we be inviting other voice actors?"

"For the roles in Hayate the Combat Butler, I'd like to have the actors play themselves. Nagi Sanzenin has already been confirmed. As for Toradora!, please have the voice actors for all the roles except for Taiga Aisaka."

How old is the real-life actress who plays Taiga Aisaka? Has she agreed to star in the film?

"No, you misunderstand. Aisaka Taiga is in her early twenties and has two children. Putting aside her voice, her appearance is really not suitable. Therefore, I plan to ask Sanzenin Nagi to voice the role of Aisaka Taiga."

"Hmm... Miss Sanzenin is indeed very suitable. When I was looking at the script just now, her image automatically popped into my mind."

The voice actors are the most important, and this anime is very long, so the unlimited budget is really awesome.

and so--

"I'll choose the butler. I'm the only one in Musashino with experience in producing very long-running anime..."

“Then I’ll take Dragon and Tiger,” Yasuyuki Takeuchi said with a smile.

Soon, the directors for the other two animations were also successfully assigned.

Chapter 388 How long have you been eavesdropping?

After the morning meeting, with the plan finalized, all departments began to get busy.

Because there were too many documents that Masamune needed to sign, and the script also needed to be revised, he was busy until the afternoon before he could finally relax.

Seeing Masamune enter from outside, Mashiro, who was taking a nap on the sofa, opened her eyes and asked softly:

"finished?"

"Well, that's about it for today's work." Masamune paused, then said with a smile, "The next two days will be relatively quiet, but once everyone has collected the character photos and information, which is the day after tomorrow, your workload will gradually increase."

To be honest, Mashiro's job was just to be an animation director, not a character designer.

But no one in the entire company can match her drawing skills; the gap is still quite large.

Therefore, the character design can only be handled by Mashiro herself; others can only assist at most.

"No problem, I'll make time for it in advance."

Mashiro responded, then turned to look at Masamune, who was standing motionless behind her, and asked in confusion:

"what happened?"

"Don't move your head, let me massage your shoulders."

"why?"

“I heard from Ema that many students at school asked you for painting tips today. You sat in front of the easel all day without moving. Thank you for your hard work.”

"...The same to you."

"I'm fine on my end, but to be honest, it's my mouth that's a bit tired."

Mashiro suddenly stood up and, before Masamune could react, lightly touched his lips to Masamune's.

"That should make it less tiring."

"Uh..."

Masamune couldn't help but laugh.

He really wanted to say that that wasn't what he meant.

I was just saying that I was either in a meeting or discussing scripts today, so I talked a lot and my lips are a little dry.

However, my lips weren't so dry anymore; in fact, they tasted a little sweet.

Just then, a familiar song suddenly rang out from outside the office door—the theme song from the first season of the anime "Himouto! Umaru-chan".

"Please come in."

Two seconds later, the door opened gently, and Doma Umaru, holding his phone, walked in cautiously with a faint smile on his face.

"Um... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to peek or interrupt you."

"It was just a bit of a coincidence."

"Yes, you two are lovers, so it's perfectly normal for you to do this kind of thing."

"So please don't mind me, you guys continue... continue."

Masamune stared at her speechlessly, completely at a loss for words.

"Won't you answer the phone?"

"It's Dad's call, it's okay to call him back later."

No sooner had Doma finished speaking than the phone rang again.

"Can I take this?"

"Nonsense." Masamune looked at her speechlessly.

"Then I'll answer?"

Doma Umaru pressed the answer button and immediately apologized to the other end.

"Sorry, Dad, my hand slipped and I accidentally pressed hang-up."

[It's okay. Where are you now? Have you left school?]

"Yes, I'm in Musashino."

Why did you go to Musashino again?

"After all, I am also a full-time employee of Musashino Agency. Although it is only part-time, I still have to show my face here from time to time."

"Moreover, the beginning of each quarter is very troublesome, and I am also very concerned about the situation of other people."

[What's the problem?]

"Simply put, voice actors take on too many anime roles each season, and the cumulative penalties become quite troublesome." [Are you feeling unwell, Umaru?]

"I'm fine. As a part-time voice actor, I only do voice acting for anime produced by Musashino, so I don't have any problems with that."

"Mainly colleagues, other voice actors from the same agency, some of whom take on a lot of roles."

"If the casting is not good, all the actors will be one-starred. The negative effects will accumulate and be quite terrifying."

[In that case, be careful on your way home later. If you see anyone suspicious, call me immediately.]

"no problem."

After ending the call, noticing the curiosity in Masamune's and Doma's eyes, Umaru explained:

"When I left home this morning, my dad said he was going to take back the Doma Group. To prevent some people from taking desperate measures, he told me to be careful on my way to and from school."

"Dad is worrying too much. It's impossible for someone to just arrest someone in broad daylight, right?"

"President, I came here today to tell you that my brother and Sister Ye have registered their marriage."

"However, the wedding date hasn't been set yet, but it should be held sometime in the latter part of this month."

"Congratulations," Masamune said with a smile. "When did you register? I thought it would be next year."

"It happened yesterday. The day before yesterday, after Dad came home, he found out in detail about the relationship between my brother and Sister Ye, and then he scolded him."

Doma Umaru, mimicking the scene from that time, recounted it again and laughed:

"At that time, my dad was really, really angry."

"They say my brother has held that girl back for so long. They're already living together, but he's still not willing to get married. I don't know what he's waiting for."

Yesterday, my brother brought many gifts and went home with Sister Ye to visit Sister Ye's parents.
