Shuhei YubataVinland Saga’s anime recorder, comments bluntly on the current problems in the anime industry, stating that industry insiders should work much harder to focus on generating original ideas.
“We’ve been doing the same thing for 30 or 40 years, not because it’s the right thing to do, but as a result of misleading craftsmanship and individualism,” says Yubata. ‘L’The Japanese animation industry is not creative at all now and we need to be aware of that. Work hard to create an environment where new challenges can be met to create new opportunities for success for a broader market‘. Shuhei has also promised that he will put himself to the test once his current workload is lighter.
