How to raise a random guy's wife

what.

I was provoked by that phrase "single".

Kobayashi Sora's face twitched. "So, I'm going to end up being made into an anime, huh?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's lips curled up. "I can have Mayu design a nicer female version of you."

Kobayashi Megumi's eyes lit up. "Is that okay?"

"No." Kobayashi Sora looked at Kobayashi Megumi with a helpless gaze. "Haven't you given up after all these years?"

I wanted him to wear women's clothing back then, and now I want to see him dressed as a woman.

Kasumigaoka Utaha raised an eyebrow. "Eriri can help too."

Kobayashi Sora changed the subject, "What did you just say?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was in a much better mood, explained, "I made appointments with several illustrators, but now it seems... with RER's current capabilities, it's difficult to keep up with them."

"Oh? Who is it?"

"Is he really okay?" Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Kobayashi Megumi with some concern.

"I'll try to coax him." Kobayashi Megumi understood what Kasumigaoka Utaha meant.

Based on Kobayashi Sora's usual style, there's no need to ask Kasumigaoka Utaha about this; he would receive the information himself.

Kobayashi Sora tapped her forehead lightly, "Let me think... Kameda Yoshitomo?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded. "There's one."

Kobayashi Megumi asked curiously, "Is it that amazing?"

"One of the Four Heavenly Kings of Action Scenes, known as Kameda of the World. His drawing style is characterized by brushstrokes accompanied by large areas of shadow. He is very skilled in both action and special effects, and his movements often have a sense of drifting," Kobayashi Sora replied. "He entered the industry under the influence of Hiroyuki Imaishi. He originally wanted to join Gainax, but unfortunately, he was rejected after three attempts. He had no choice but to join AIC, which sometimes takes on outsourced work from Gainax. His style is a blend of elements from Hiroyuki Imaishi, Yoshikazu Kaneda, and Yutaka Nakamura. He belongs to the Kaneda school of animation. He usually uses high-B pencils such as 3B and 6B, and often retains the feel of pencil marks in his drawings. In his early days, he would also insert brushstroke drawings into his drawings, but in recent years, this style has become more restrained, and his work focus has shifted towards overall animation supervision of the works—he's at Bones now, right? You actually managed to negotiate with him?"

"It was just a coincidence," Kasumigaoka Utaha replied casually.

She felt that with her influence, it would be difficult to reach an agreement.

However, the Hosoya incident that happened recently still has a significant impact.

Although she didn't know the percentage, she felt that this factor was a significant reason why the other party would agree.

"RER is currently lacking in both the quantity and quality of its personnel," Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned slightly. "If we outsource..."

Kobayashi Sora had an idea. "Megumi, what do you think?"

“While outsourcing is convenient in many ways, we can’t rely on it entirely. RER also needs its own team.” Kobayashi Megumi considered for a moment, “How about we take this opportunity to train some people through a mentorship program?”

"I'll look into it." Kobayashi Sora kept this in mind.

Outsourcing saves money and time, but it's hard to control the quality, and a slight oversight can lead to delays, which is unacceptable to Kobayashi Sora, who has a strong desire for control.

According to Kobayashi Megumi's decision, the next step is to hire some veterans and recruit some new people, mainly to complete the work and cultivate the abilities of the new people.

Speaking of this, we have to mention Akane Kousaka. Whether it's recruiting or training people, she's a master among masters.

Perhaps we could just ask her to lend us someone.

After discussing the manpower issue with them, Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately set off for the sound studio to participate in audio-visual synthesis, also known as DB, whose main job is to add sound effects and music.

The screen was showing episode 5, which was also the final episode of Jorogumo.

"Is it worth it... You ask me if it's worth it? Ah... I understand, sacrificing the lives of an entire village for one person... I know you all think it's not worth it." Facing the medicine seller's denial, Jorogumo's expression remained cold beneath the white veil woven from spiderwebs. "I want you to know it's not worth it! The more you feel it's not worth it, the more you'll feel my feelings!"

“Hmm…” Bo Island frowned. “The footsteps of the villagers in 157cut just now sounded a bit strange.”

The sound engineer pressed further, "Is it a problem with the material?"

“No, no…” Bodao Chuhai shook his head, “Because the villagers are walking corpses tethered by spider silk, their steps shouldn’t be so heavy.”

"Make it a little more superficial," the performance suggested, "and a little more drawn out?"

Bo Island was struggling to find a way to describe the sea voyage, and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's it."

The sound engineer changed the sound effect. "How about this?"

As Bo Island sailed out to sea, she listened intently. "It's too light. My sister wanted to simulate human sensations, so it can't be completely absent."

This balance is somewhat difficult to grasp.

The sound engineer tried different sounds. "Hmm, I'll play these few for you to hear."

"Ah, this is it, not this one, the previous one, right." Bo Island finally selected a suitable sound effect, but his brows did not relax.

The sound of footsteps is a minor issue; the more serious problems are yet to come.

Chapter 787 Acting Problems

Bo Island looked at Ondo as he left the island, saying, "I want to change the M in 238."

The sound supervisor flipped through the script. "What type should we change it to?"

"Hmm..." The trip to Bo Island just didn't feel quite right, but I had no idea how to improve it.

“The music is currently chosen based on emotions,” the music director looked down at the scene, “Should we change it to a type that fits the context?”

"Let's give it a try..." There's not much certainty about going to sea from Po Island.

Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at her and noticed her unusual emotional state.

The previous clip was played again with different background music, and Bo Island shook his head.

Yin Du looked up. "Is it still not right?"

"No, that won't work..."

Yin Du was easy to talk to, "Then I'll choose another one."

"No, it's not a problem with M. Please switch back to the previous one."

The performance started with sound; "If it's not music, then what's the problem?"

"It's a problem with the drawing... the image itself..."

"Huh?" The performer's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

If the problem is with the music, it's not so bad, but if the problem with the visuals is discovered at the audio-visual synthesis stage, then rework will be a huge hassle.

“Isn’t this the first time the younger sister has opened up? It’s the truth within the truth, telling her own feelings from the perspective of the person involved.” Hashima Izumi organized his words, “The medicine seller revealed the truth that the whole village is a puppet of Jorogumo, pointing out that she keeps repeating the village life because of her longing.”

Based on his extensive experience, the performer instinctively sensed something was amiss. "So?"

"So something feels off about this place."

The performer's expression hardened. "Are you saying there's a problem with my performance instructions?"

"No...it must be a problem with the character himself...right?" Hashima Izumi's momentum weakened, but she still tried to express her thoughts. "As the person who directed all of this, my sister knows the situation here. Everyone who comes will be turned into a puppet by her, so how could she say something like wanting others to feel her feelings? The so-called 'you' simply do not exist."

"Isn't this the line you wrote?"

“What I mean is, the younger sister here has a kind of stubbornness about her,” Izumi Hashima explained. “You see, she knows she’s turned her brother into a puppet, so when faced with the Medicine Seller’s questioning…”

"Wait!" The performance immediately interrupted her, "Your sister knows?!"

"Yes, so the lines here are just bravado, false excuses, not real reason."

"Stop, stop." Mayu Sagara flipped through the settings. "This isn't in the settings."

“Ah…” Bo Island realized, “This is something I thought of before, but I haven’t had a chance to tell you yet.”

"Who would know what's in the mind!" The director was already about to lose his temper. It was almost time to air, and they were still pulling this stunt. "Shouldn't these things have been planned and written into the settings beforehand?"

“I’m sorry, but if I think about this, I can’t continue.” Hashima Izumi tried to explain, “If you extend your longing, isn’t it just a yearning for the past? So when my brother returned to the Puppet Village, although he was still my brother, he was no longer the same brother he used to be. So my sister turned him into a puppet and waited for the brother she used to be.”

"Hiss—" The performer facepalmed.

This is the most difficult situation to handle.

If he were to go out to sea on a whim, he could tell her not to be reckless.

The idea of ​​going to Bo Island by sea was indeed correct, but it came too late.

Compared to the accidental injuries designed in previous plots, this feeling of intentional harm is much stronger.

The music director was used to this. "So, do we still need to change the background music?"

“The background music is fine,” Hashima Izumi hesitated for a moment, “What I want to change is the animation.”

"Huh?" Miyamori Aoi exclaimed in surprise, "Should we change the expression?"

"Simply changing facial expressions doesn't seem enough; acting skills also need to be considered..."

In animation, characters' acting is achieved through original drawings. Just like real actors, good acting is crucial in conveying the emotions and intentions of animated characters to the audience.

If the acting needs to be revised...

Miyamori Aoi realized the seriousness of the problem, "Should we redraw everything from the original drawings?"

"A portion should be enough..."

"Are you kidding me?" the performance director warned. "These kinds of revisions might mean we won't be able to meet the deadline for the final product!"

"But the acting here is really..."

The performance was delivered in an unfriendly tone, with the statement, "I don't feel there's anything wrong with my performance."

"So I think I'll make a slight modification, and then..."

"This is no small problem!" The director sighed and looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha. "What should we do, Kasumigaoka-P? Should we change it or not?"

The supervisor is the highest-ranking person in charge of the production team. The director has no decision-making power in this matter and can only ask Kasumigaoka Utaha.

As the actual person in charge of the entire project, Kasumigaoka Utaha has more authority than Hashima Izumi, including the power to replace the director. However, as the person ultimately responsible for managing the budget and schedule, the decisions ultimately rest with Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Hmm?" Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't answer, but instead asked Miyamori Aoi, "Nyanmori, what do you think?"

Miyamori Aoi complained, "I can't decide these kinds of things!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha reminded her, "Time."

As the production supervisor, Aoi Miyamori has a detailed timeline at her disposal.

Even if Kasumigaoka Utaha has subjective decision-making power, she still has to follow the objective issue of time.

Miyamori Aoi checked the timetable and said, "There are still 7 days left before I can submit it. I can still make it by tomorrow or the night after tomorrow."
