【OSHI NO KO】 Behind the Scenes Ep1: Pre-production

[@o_noori1943]

There are many other comments talking about how passionate the staff were for the anime production, but can we talk about the marketing team?! It's one thing to produce a perfect product but to also have releases of different varieties (like memcho vtuber, arts, and this video) of supplement content released before and alongside the release just makes this show shine too hard and too well. That is all!

[@MrCLightning]

Couldn't agree more!

[@hagahong3327]

I love how this video is put in english to communicate to western fans, which is my first experience ever of a studio doing the same. It's pretty neat ngl

[@Mrshoujo]

*the staff _was_ Not "were"

[@o_noori1943]

@Mrshoujo I used (were) because it's the past tense of (are). (was) doesn't sound right. You wouldn't say "they was dancing"

[@hayond656]

Wait Memcho Vtuber?

[@Manganimemer]

This staff is clearly incredibly passionate about this series and are clearly extremely determined to make it into the most amazing work it can be while also remaining completely faithful to the original story. Such a blessing to have them working on this series!

[@it55441]

Frist 😅

[@iyakaru]

making the first volume into an hour long episode to act as a prologue is probably the best thing u could all do as a production team, perfectly executed. i just couldnt imagine if it was released ep by ep, the story & suspense wouldve been lost.

[@Mr_Mistah]

Plus Ai's death happens so early in the story and it's a huge plot device so it makes sense that they wrap it all up Shield Hero did this too with their first episode

[@重曹ミシン]

こういう一番がんばっている裏側の人たちを紹介するの推しの子らしくていいですね

[@GabrielSouza-ie1tt]

This is it, this is what I always wanted, a behind the scenes interview with the creators of every good anime, it adds to the experience because we can know who are the people creating the masterpieces we see on screen. We can understand what were their thought process and the difficulties they went through to produce the anime we love. I want to see more of these interviews.

[@an_riin]

The most ambitious anime project of the year. You can feel the love in each episode. The marketing team for this anime is insane. If this isn't considered Anime of the Year then I don't know what is. Personally this is my favorite anime of all time. Just everything from the art, storyboarding, pacing, music, voice acting, color, lighting and animation etc. is just pure love tier. The OP and EDs by YOASOBI and QUEEN BEE are goosebump inducing to perfection. Mephisto must be the song of the year it's just so good. Thank you Studio Doga Kobo Inc. and all of staff involved for putting all your heart and passion into this project to deliver the best anime adaptation ever. Everything about this anime screams. . . *"MASTERPIECE!!!"*

[@kurokishizx]

chill only 3eps out how is this ur fav anime alr

[@angelmd4560]

​@@kurokishizx well, manga has more than 100 chapters. If you alredy know how the story continues and by watching the first episodes also know the animation quality, then it's kinda justified

[@lavenderiris9744]

@@kurokishizx the first episode by itself was basically 4 episodes long.

[@it55441]

WOW!!

[@SchizophreniaHaver]

@@angelmd4560 what if the show goes anime original from now on and kills kana?

[@JXSMS]

The passion Doga Kobo showed for this work is just amazing. After reading volume 1 of the manga, I realized that they really did reproduce all lines from the manga very faithfully, and even added a few meaningful scenes. I think it's pretty safe to say that Ep. 1 of the anime outdid the manga, which is a very rare thing. It's great that Oshi no Ko got this wonderful adaptation, similar to how Made in Abyss' adaptation (especially S1) surpassed the original manga in many ways.

[@JXSMS]

(Spoiler alert) The only scene/line I wish they also included in the anime is where Aqua said he experienced Ai's body gradually going cold until the ambulance and the police came... That was so messed up, similar to Takeru's famous line in Muv-Luv Alternative about trying to pick up the pieces from the ground and put them back together...

[@racool911]

I think it's rare for episode 1 of an anime to not outdo its manga counterpart tbh.

[@klulikxd]

there are a lot more examples, Wit Studio is known of fixing manga in anime adaptations, also they make good original shows so they know a lot about making good show

[@もも-w4q]

これだけ制作陣の方達が原作リスペクトしてくれて、これだけ愛がある作品って中々ない気がします🥺🥺 ほんとに色んな人達が携わってて視聴者としてファンとしてほんとに推せる！ってなりました。 まだ原作は完結してないけど、完結までアニメして欲しいです🥺

[@FangzV]

The UI-design mentioned in 7:30 immediately stood out to me whenever we saw phones. Seeing the old style of iOS lock screen was so nostalgic and such an impressive attention to detail. Getting to see the color design document at 7:50 is such a delight too! Thank you to the production staff and promotional team for this video and for making it available in English as well!

[@alan14-jx6wk]

I was surprised they went with iPhone 3 instead of iPhone 10 or above that the manga artist drew

[@IZEASGT]

@@alan14-jx6wk It makes sense to me - it lets the timeline be more consistent. Ai’s pregnancy was about 16 years before the timeframe the anime’s been in since episode 2; if you want that to be in the 2020s, it stands to reason that the twins were born in the early years of the smartphone era. There’s still some problems - if Gorou’s background photo of Sarina was taken with an iPhone, the twins have to have born in 2012-13 (and you can’t have the baby wotagei going viral on Twitter much earlier anyway), which puts the present day in 2028-29. The portrayal of the Internet, and the entertainment industry’s relationship with it, will probably be well outdated by then. Still, I respect the effort - they didn’t have to go that far for something Akasaka basically ignores.

[@Enjun38]

Thanks for all the staff taking time out of their busy schedules to share with fans of the show. Congratulations on such a stunning production!!!

[@it55441]

Really!

[@Shresatyt]

The amount of love they gave to Oshi no ko and their hardwork is clearly visible in anime itself. Oshi No Ko is my favourite anime of 2023 so far and one of the best animes of all time for me 🥰💖 Thank you for delivering such a Masterpiece to us 💯

[@it55441]

hope to stay with us for a long time will not forget

[@keytobalance]

It's so rare to see anime behind the scenes videos, they even got subtitles. Thank you!

[@joshualee7655]

I love how everyone involved in creating this anime is so passionate about the project!!! I’m blessed to see all the careful consideration and love put into this project and will follow it until the end! I can’t wait to see how this season unfolds and thank everyone very much for their hard work!

[@it55441]

right!

[@三から]

とてつもない熱量と原作への愛情を持たれて制作されていることはアニメを通しても伝わってきていました。普段知ることの出来ない方々から貴重なお話を聞くことが出来てとても嬉しいです。原作ファンなのでアニメ化に少し不安を抱いていたのですが、それを木っ端みじんにして多大なる感謝と期待に塗り替えてくれた1話を見た衝撃は忘れられません。原作ファンとして、制作にかかわるすべての方に心の底から感謝申し上げます。ありがとうございます！！🥰

[@ElTioPental]

Sometimes you can tell when a production team actually love the series they are making and you can tell this people are one of those cases without hearing their words, but it was good to have a confirmation, too bad kanna hirayama didnt showed up since she seems very passionate about the series too and really wanted to hear her story. My deepest thanks to the team for this beautiful adaptation and please keep up the good work

[@ramazanaykut7467]

Yiman how you doing? I was wondering if you seen this video after watching your latest video about Kanna Hirayama.

[@Yesiyui]

Estoy muy feliz de que hagan un documental como este, porque el trabajo detrás de una producción de anime debe ser difícil pero increíble y saber que el staff sea fan de la historia lo hace mejor.

[@chihayaayase1299]

If you ever watched ‘Shirobako’ you’ll know how much sweat, blood and tears shed by these production staff and everyone else related to the creation of an anime. I have huge respect to them for that, and I hope this is becoming a trend where they upload more ‘behind the scenes’ videos to increase public awareness of how much work put into one anime.

[@Nahalosa0714]

Making anime is such a massive commitment, specially for this type of adaptation that has so much love put into it. All of the staff involved in this project are amazing. I already knew Kappe is insanely good but it was nice to see other members of the staff sharing their point of view about it.

[@AsmUser9367]

This anime is just legendary in its own unique way!

[@purplepotato1778]

When I watched episode 1, I was shocked because it was over 1 hour long. That is indeed a very good prologue. After watching up to episode 3, because of my growing curiosity I decided to read the manga in a marathon and it was really cool. The original author really know what to do with their work. After crying while watching the prologue, there are many feelings that arise inside me. Either because of the great storyline or because of the sincerity, passion and hard work of all the staff who worked really hard to make this manga into an anime and make it more alive. This was awesome, thank you so much! This project is one of the best projects of the year.

[@kennmarlow4889]

I'm just..floored by the sheer miracle of this production. Rarely do you feel such love, cohesiveness, and dedication to an adaptation. Oshi no Ko will always have a special place in my heart with BOTH mediums, but the staff here really take this series to new heights. I hope this is just the first installment of many to come! As someone who aspires to join this industry one day, its heartening to learn about the thoughts and efforts put in behind the scenes.
