Hello, this is Okumura. Here's my diary entry from May. 
At our studio, "Otsukaresama" is the default greeting. It's nice because it doesn't give me the chance to nervously flub and say "Konnichiwa" in th...

June has been really busy. Spring was relatively slow, but now I'll have to work more overtime going forward.
I'll manage somehow.
I used to start work in the morning, but lately, I've been leaving home around noon. This means I get hom...

Hello, this is Watanabe.
Here is my June dormitory diary entry.
Recently, I participated in my first 'rush check.' It was a bit nerve-wracking because there were people I don't usually interact with, like the director, finishers, and compositors.
During the rush check, people fr...

I still feel like I haven't quite gotten used to the job. The other day, I briefly attended a dormitory gathering. I know I shouldn’t compare myself to others, but the thought of being constantly evaluated makes me feel like I need to improve quickly. As an animato...

Early in May, I caught a cold... I felt I had to push myself too hard during training because I didn’t want to fall behind my peers.
Now, my cold is completely gone, and my training i...

The other day, I had my first experience training a new recruit. It was pretty challenging!
I’ve noticed that most issues that arise in animation are due to a lack of communication rather than individual skill levels. Therefore, I...

Hello again from yesterday.
May sure is hot, huh? This is Okumura.
Every day I’m worried about my clothes—I feel like I’m failing them.
My laundry pile stacks higher and higher until I finally wash everything all at once. People say that washing machines don’t have a hea...

This is my dormitory diary entry for May. As the weather has warmed up recently, I've switched out my wardrobe. It's still a bit too chilly for short sleeves yet too warm for long sleeves, making my clothing choices an unexpected battle. 2024-05-14 08:18:22 +0000 UTC View Post
