Many notable titles from the publishing firm includes <em>Konosuba<\/em>, <em>Made in Abyss<\/em>, and <em>Re:ZERO<\/em>. We had the special opportunity to talk to KADOKAWA Executive Officer Takeshi Kikuchi and Senior <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a> Manager Daijo Kudo as they expand on KADOKAWA anime plans and what to expect in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Last year, Kadokawa established 3D CG anime studio Kadan which is centered around<\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Hiroyuki Senshita-san.

That really moved me and it was the combination of his creative side and how he systemized the production pipeline that really interested us in wanting to have a joint venture together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Senshita-san,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> again, it\u2019s really his creative talent that we were interested in at KADOKAWA.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s a lot of other big studios that have ties to Mamoru Hosoda or Makoto Shinkai that have deep ties with Nippon TV or TOHO. As KADOKAWA, we wanted to have a creator first, creator-centric type of venture. There\u2019s some other companies we have, like Kinema Citrus. Those are focused more on trans<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>, multimedia type of product development.

At KADOKAWA, we\u2019re also trying to create programs to help develop young talent. Speaking strictly with respect to the domestic market, there\u2019s a movement in Japan right now to kind of revolutionize the way people work and limit certain hours and be more mindful of people, which is of course very important to us as well.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">So, we want to, while respecting those rules, still hit our target of 40 titles.

With that data, we want to take certain properties and then explore how would this become an interesting anime adaptation, but in making that transition, the most important key factor is a producer who wants to lead that charge.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">So we evaluate it by the producer who picks a property and has a lot of passion towards making that vision a reality, because it takes a lot of will power to take a light novel or manga, and turn it into an anime and deliver it to the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Once the producer has that willpower, it\u2019s the studio and the creators that he or she can bring together, and then take a certain IP and transform it into something that translates well to an anime adaptation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><b>With anime and content from Japan now being simulcasted and international fans at the same time, do international audiences become a factor in an anime adaptation? <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><b>Kikuchi: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you said, with many partners, there\u2019s a lot of [international] market data that\u2019s available that we as an industry share with each other.

What were the factors that led to them getting adaptations so quickly, and can we expect this to become more common in the future?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><b>Kudo: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you mentioned and pointed out very accurately, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Osamake, Full Dive and The Detective is Already Dead <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">received very quick anime adaptations. That partially has to do with the light novel genre. It\u2019s different from manga, so there\u2019s a different release timing and beat and there aren\u2019t as many volumes and not as much serialization that we can do. So, we want to align that timing strategically on the original creator\u2019s side. Likewise, if one of the studios happens to have an open production line, we want to make sure we\u2019re taking all that into consideration when green lighting some of these anime projects.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">You\u2019re right, one to two years is a very fast turnaround for an anime adaptation, and basically the average is two to three years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><b>Kikuchi: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To add on to that, of the anime you mentioned, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Full Dive <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Detective is Already Dead<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are produced by ENGI while <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Osamake <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is produced by Doga Kobo. We have access to these studios because they\u2019re part of our company network and that helps green light projects quicker.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">With a lot of the popular series, we always take into consideration sequels, and having access to our own studio makes that turnaround much faster. If we work with external animation studios, oftentimes, we want to make a sequel but the timing does not align. We might be forced into a situation where you have to change studios and the character design. This leads to animation changes and it isn\u2019t always the best for the project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Studio Kadan is definitely a studio that I want to have creativity at the center, whereas with ENGI, because of their media mix and transmedia background, they\u2019re really quick. Thus, they can release part two, part three of a series.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

Why now? <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><b>Kikuchi: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We wanted to announce it quickly! (laughs) <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><b>Kudo: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Season 1 was very well received, and it\u2019s something that we know because of what we mentioned earlier about the data, but it was challenging to make a second season the same way that we did. We knew that it was a very strong IP in terms of the light novel genre and it was very likable and performing really well.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">As the demographic who liked this series grew older they had more disposable income, so we knew that there was a business motivation here as well. I think that this light novel perhaps can almost represent the genre and the entire light novel industry as a whole in a way. It\u2019s one of the top sellers by far.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Instead of waiting too long to have a second season\u2026 with how anime is being consumed now, it has changed the industry over the past few years. There are new production committee architecture stances that we can take and order to produce other projects that we haven\u2019t been able to in the past.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><b>Kikuchi: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the core foundation, KADOKAWA is a publishing company. While animation is important, all those anime and movies in a way are also supposed to feed back into the publishing side. When you have a popular series like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Classroom of the Elite<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the anime adaptation also gives feedback into book sales, which also feedbacks into the anime.

personally very excited and want to proudly present this.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">We\u2019ve got isekai type of projects, and studio Kadan is working on a new type of anime. We\u2019re developing new looks in anime. KADOKAWA has many different genres available. I think there\u2019s a lot to look forward to and I personally am very excited about what we have on the horizon. Of course, there are going to be sequels to a lot of popular series as well, so please look forward to them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><b>Kudo: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re going to make an announcement for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Konosuba<\/span><\/i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and that\u2019s something that I think will create a lot of shockwaves. As Kikuchi-san mentioned, there are new properties and new franchises we are looking at and they are very highly anticipated. And expect sequels to existing franchises; it\u2019s not going to be just isekai shows.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">We\u2019re really looking at the entire world and not just the Japanese domestic market.
