The Redemption of Studio Cloverworks

[@danyul-]

This video is a bit different than my normal ones since I'm not really focusing on writing at all, but I had fun making it even if it took longer than I wanted/my videos usually do. If you want to see more like it, support the video so I know it's worth taking a different angle on my content like this!

[@jj2time]

I really liked this style of video even though it’s a bit of a deviation from your normal stuff! Looking forward to more of your content!

[@mrsputum4082]

Kerorira is a beast. Kind of surprised you didn’t mention how crucial he was to making Bocchi the success it became. Designing the characters, supervising cuts, directing and creating an absolutely ludicrous amount of key animation for the series. He was also the person who got CloverWorks to peruse the IP for adaptation in the first place because of his passion for the source material.

[@danyul-]

Going too deep into his work would have been a bit too much of a tangent for the video, which was already a much heftier script than I was expecting. Dude is definitely a beast though

[@Argo949]

How is this guy still underrated, he has to be hands down one of the best anime youtubers currently out there. Hope ppl find out about this channel soon. Awesome vid as always

[@danyul-]

Thanks, means a lot to see these types of comments!

[@reinheart]

I'm only recently getting in to anime because of Spy X Family and Oshi No Ko. I'm glad that they've kinda gone into a Renaissance period and I'm hoping it continues

[@danyul-]

Good picks to get more into anime

[@nepasawa6306]

Clover Works for sure had its ups and downs but I never actually knew that part of that struggle was spurred from the company it was working under. I really like how to you managed to tie the studios progression (good and bad) together in both a linear and neatly constructed way :) Great work as always man!

[@danyul-]

thanks as always!

I was drawing a little bit, 1 year or 2 years ago, and then competing in a small community competition on a twitch channel I decided I wanted to do a small animation, it was such a pain in the ass. After drawing and animating (semi animating, since I used old layers to complete the animation, on pixlr...) I hold artists in high regard, I'll never attack artists or studios for their art, however I'll only give the critique it may deserve, never any hate towards the artists or towards the directors, only their decisions. Also great video!

[@danyul-]

Thanks!

WEP, despite the baffling final episode, was still an incredible experience. I could tell the animators were giving their all despite some glaring issues behind the scenes, but It was enough for me (especially if just like the entirety of TPN2, I pretend the final episode doesn't exist). With fantastic shows like Shadows House and Bocchi the Rock, I can only hope that things have gotten slightly better for the studio.

[@danyul-]

They definitely seem like that on at least the surface that things are going well for them now

[@seriouslysatan216]

@@danyul- If so, here's hoping it stays that way. The talent is clearly there.

[@babangteo2853]

Shadows House was fantastic, TBH, I don't know why everyone just unpleasant with chapter skips in the anime.

[@subarusensei3685]

Funfact: aniplex is under SMEJ basically Sony music Japan branch. The anime ops are generally now still under SMEJ, sacra

that was such a good video, I can't believe it doesn't has that many views, keep up the great work!!

[@blueshot333]

Coming here after Windbreaker (Manga) anime getting announced

[@rjsduchiha595]

neatly researched comprehensive vid, great work I remember watching wonder egg and loving it then to watch the last episode and being genuinely confused one thing I love in both A1 and clover works anime is that they dont just adapt the source they improve it [when they do] beb it sao or bocchi or even kaguya sama - the studios feel soo full of passion also shadows house based take - one of the best reona songs too hehe

[@riwho7936]

Thanks to Fukushima for making this studio to be better 🐐

[@babangteo2853]

Fukushima is the reason why we have Idol Anime, a lot, ... His Idolmaster was a GOAT.

[@A1000-b9s]

​@@riwho7936What does that has to do with deadlines. It means the production is managed better with how shitty the deadlines can be

@@A1000-b9s one of the big reason why they managed better than before is because Fukushima making space for Umehara and other Ani-P in CLW with his a new position as Corporate officer, he also Producing/investment some stuff at CLW like SPYxFamily, Black Butler S4, Wind Breaker (CLW is in as Commite Production for this 3 show) and do some training program for a new animator (Yuichi Oka as Animator trainer) and new director (Shin Wakabayashi as Director Trainer) for their In-House staffs (Internal Production), With better internal production, the process will be more faster (and the animation still looking gorgeous asf) even though they are handling 4 TV shows and 3 Movies (one of them is a Bocchi Recap with a new scene) in 2024.

really well paced video man, ive subbed

Thanks! Much appreciated!

I love understanding how my favorite medium gets explained

[@jenn-707]

Didn't know much about the studio but I got curious now that Black Butler was announced and they are in charge of the animation! Hope they can keep their current flow~ Thank you for this video!

[@danyul-]

Glad you enjoyed! Haven't seen Black Butler personally but I hope they do good with it

[@Hetsu..]

Brilliant video, first quarter bored me but the latter half was on point.

[@danyul-]

Yeah the ramp up was quite something, crazy what happens behind the scenes

@@danyul- alot of animators are actually picked up on twitter, haha

[@Argo949]

Im glad I got impatient and decided to read promised neverland, their decision to skip the arc was one of the biggest mistakes ever

[@danyul-]

Seeing some of my favorite characters just being completely cut was tough

[@Argo949]

@@danyul- I was hyping my friends up for the goldy pond arc for months, it really was peak for that series. Ill never understand why they cut it, but its a shame

[@really9473]

Wonder Egg was a HUGE disappointment for me (and most people). Over time, I've been watching less anime, and experiencing the disappointment Wonder Egg brought (in addition to the Promised Neverland) really did not encourage me to continue to watch more anime made by the studio. I will say, I am guilty of blaming the studio when an anime that i've read the source material of is 'badly' adapted, but they REALLY dropped the ball on both of those. But yeah, after watching the anime they made last season, I'm definitely much more motivated to continue to watch more anime made by cloverworks. Really liked this video, I think making more videos in this documantary-esque (?) style would be nice. Side note: That profile card at the end is way too big for the profile to actually fit. Confused me for a second, lmao

[@A1000-b9s]

But wonder Egg was like one of the best TV anime productions in Recent times. So i don't know. Also on the adaptation side, it's on the committee. Not on the Studio

very excited for the Kaede movie, trailers have looked great so far

I have all the books up to 9 right now, but I’ve only read up to 3 so far. I’ve been torn over wether to read all the way or just wait till these movies come out to start again.

[@A1000-b9s]

If a Show is well produced and consistent. It dosen't mean the production has a "good" production time. Some of the best produced animes were made in terrible productions. And this just means the productions are more consistent because of production lines and animation producers. Not better "deadlines". ANIPLEX is not generous at all. And i don't know about JOEN.

[@danyul-]

Never said their productions have for sure gotten better, just that they're recovering their reputation and haven't had any voiced complaints and obvious issues

[@chimpact]

A1 made the 43 anime?

[@danyul-]

172

[@armoredcoreexile]

Your video quality is so high, why do you have so few subs and views and likes? That shits not cool. People need to show up and get the word out.

[@GeekNewz]

When I see the name Anipelex at the start of an anime, I get just as apprehensive as I get when I hear the anime was made by clover works. I blame them both equally

[@danyul-]

Not that CloverWorks doesn't share any blame as TPN S2 and Wonder Egg seemed to be mainly on them, but they seem to be the lesser issue among the two imo

[@evafagz]

Wonder egg sabia tratar os assuntos q queria tratar de forma orgânica e realista, pelo menos até certo ponto do anime onde tudo é simplesmente para de fazer sentido e coisas definitivamente acontecem
