“#Sword Art Online Alicization Director Explains His Job<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

What exactly does an anime<\/a> director do? Manabu Ono, the director for all of <\/span>Sword Art Online: Alicization<\/span><\/i>\u2019s seasons, provided the answer recently during the \u201cSword Art Online Alicization War of Underworld THE LAST SEASON Online Panel\u201d at Aniplex Online Fest.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking to MC Tenshin Mukai, Ono said, \u201cBased on the script<\/a>, we create storyboard[s]. Those become the blueprints for the animation itself. Sometimes, the director draws the storyboards himself, other times, he delegates to other crew members. Either way, the director has the final say. He checks the storyboards and makes any necessary fixes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThen, we move on to the actual animation itself. This step is handled by a big team of animators. They are overseen by the anime supervisor or the animation director. In the end, the director makes overall evaluations of the work.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ono later added, \u201cBasically, directors pop into different departments to judge things. That\u2019s the basic nature of the job. But there\u2019s also an underlying vision for what they want to say or how they want to make a particular show. We try to reflect that personal vision in the work.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
