Hello,

Dear all,
This is Okabe with my December update.
The cold weather makes it hard to leave the warmth of our heated offices and face the chilly restrooms, especially with the cold toilet seats.

Hey everyone,
Ueno here with my October dorm diary.
This month has been a whirlwind! I managed to tackle way more frames than last month, and it's pretty satisfying. It got me thinking about the importance of pacing and knowing my limits regarding workload. I've been setting some pers...

Hello everyone, Okabe here.
This month felt a tad monotonous, with my days filled with countless minor retouches for retakes. Essentially, we were up late night making sure the project didn't fall apart - putting out fires as they sprouted up. It's tedious, and even though each task seems s...

Hello there, Watanabe here.
Here's my October dormitory diary entry.
Not too long ago, I had the unique privilege of working on a project that’d always been on my wishlist. I was assigned a pretty pivotal scene to boot, which, while demanding, was a really valuable experience.
Hello, it's Okabe here.
Our studio's new show started airing, and seeing my name alongside my colleagues in the credits was genuinely uplifting. Seeing our hard work come to life as a full-fledged anime is surreal.
Sadly, I don’t own a TV, so I couldn’t catch it live. Instead, I w...

Hey everyone, Okabe here.
