Step up to a total of 300 minutes from the 105 -minute movie "009 Re: Cyborg"

Mr. Yuko Matsuura, CEO of Sanjigen

―― “009 Re: Cyborg” released in 2012 was a 105 -minute theater work.In less than two years, it was shocking that the TV series (Arpeggio) was born 12 episodes.

Since the establishment of Matsuura Sanjigen, it was one goal to make high -end TV anime with full 3DCG.

By repeating simulation and practice with the next announcement ("Human cat overrun!"), The battle scene (TV version "Black ★ Rock Shooter"), and theatrical works (009 Re: CYBORG).I have the confidence that cell look animation technology is enough. "

"Sorry cat overrun!(Bandai Channel free distribution).Sanjigen is in charge of the next issue using Cell looks 3DCG (2010).

The production announcement of the movie "009 Re: Cyborg".Sanjigen is in charge of animation production (2012).The whole story was a hot topic because the cell look was 3DCG ( + 3D stereoscopic).

――Are the creative aspects, but also from the viewpoint of the budget and scale of TV animation produced in the conventional way?

Matsuura That's right.When I set my goal (I'm working on a CG part of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00"), it was a desk theory, but the image of "can do" gradually solidified.

And the opportunity to appear CG characters made by Sanjigen in various works has increased.It was 009 Re: Cyborg among them.100 minutes / 1000 cuts can be done in the whole story.

Of course, I asked Professor, editing, and backgrounds to Production I.G, and I learned about animation know -how.As a result, of course, there is something to improve, but I was convinced that the quality could be served as a product as a product.

At that time, I got a story about Arpeggio from Flying Dog."I'll do it!"
