    Sheer brilliance here, you where very fortunate of meeting them.
    Also this quote is very amazing.
    "Receiving the influence of Japanese art, and then making anime in japan makes for a very narrow perspective. It's Constricting. Therefore, taking interesting things we view from other countries and putting it in our work, we make anime more interesting"
    -Hiroyuki Imaishi

  • @Ratload
    @Ratload Před 7 lety +269

    There's a real interesting dynamic on how many of these Japanese animators don't care about whether they enjoy their projects, but rather how it's received by others.

    • @narutos_ramen
      @narutos_ramen Před 7 lety +31

      Ratload Yeah, I thought so too! Since for cartoons in the US it's mostly the opposite.

    • @candyexplosives_
      @candyexplosives_ Před 7 lety +11

      When your job is to create art for sale it's a part of your job to be able to distance yourself from your work to give your consumers what they want, otherwise you'll go out of business obviously.
      Like what was said in the interview- it's a half and half thing where you can take what inspires and drives you and add it to the mix but since the work is not made for you it is your job to transform that 'soul', if you will, into what you audiences are looking for.
      I don't understand why that would be surprising.

    • @Ratload
      @Ratload Před 7 lety +15

      I never said it was surprising but thanks for trying to patronize me lol. I just see a contrast to the more western mindset encouraging people to pursue passion projects.

    • @candyexplosives_
      @candyexplosives_ Před 7 lety +3

      I wasn't really trying to patronize so I'm sorry if it came out that way.
      When someone brings up a point and formulating it in a manner which gives off the impression that this is new territory to consider in relation to what they are used to I would just generally assume that they were surprised by the difference.
      If anything I think the west is too caught up in the "everyone is a unique snowflake"-kind of thinking.
      There is nothing wrong with passion projects if you have the budget for it, but if you are looking to produce for an audience for profit I do believe it's your duty to to put your own feelings second and at most see how you can rework your own experiences or inspirations into something made for the recieving party.
      If a person just wants to draw and create something for themselves without any care for how it's regarded by the viewer then that is best left outside the professional field or turning to crowdfunding for.

    @malovent767678 Před 7 lety +122

    You know, for a first ever interview, Arin really wasn't that bad. I mean you could see him struggling a bit with phrasing, but there's also a language barrier to keep in mind.
    All in all it was kinda cool to see a more grown up and professional Arin.

  • @olivierlar

      @kesselsol Před 6 lety +12

      I was at anime expo at a Trigger live panel. Yoshinari literally said: "You do not want to work for the japanese anime industry."
      Seriously, japanese anime industry is fucked up right now. Animators are sweat-shop workers.

    @deadlywork Před 7 lety +1143

    • @Zoot101
      @Zoot101 Před 7 lety +12

      I just wish he had been better-prepared. He spent half the interview grilling them about every little detail of their life story, which is not as interesting as hearing them actually talk about animation. :(

    • @Zoot101
      @Zoot101 Před 7 lety +23

      I agree that their background is important and I was happy to hear a lot of it. I just felt that Arin spent a bit too long prying out little details that don't really add to the overall picture, and making up little stories and being told "Well, it's not quite like that..."
      I'm grateful for this interview because these two guys truly are my heroes. It's just as Arin said himself at the start: it's not a perfect interview and there's plenty of stuff that could have been done better.

    • @ctimerun3693
      @ctimerun3693 Před 7 lety +32

      It does feel like he's leading the questions a little, but it might be he needed to; their body language isn't exactly telegraphing openness...
      ... At this rate, they'll never be part of the club.

  • @ChrisRWS

He was very professional and his questions and replys were very organic with his personality with the interviewees. I also enjoyed Hiroyuki Imaishi and Yoh Yoshinari a lot. Each are so different in their personalities but just as much enjoyable in their own ways. I hope you come back with more one day

    Arin, you did such a great job asking such pointed and revealing questions. Because of how well you conducted this interview, I really got a good sense of their backgrounds, experiences, mindsets, values, ambitions, and just the kind of people they are in general. I feel like you cut through the generic garbage most interviews consist of and really got into the meat of it, and I'm so glad you did because most interviewers seem too afraid to do the same. Thanks for this, and really good job!

The entire video created an educational and inspiring feeling while also being deeply entertaining and you throwing in your lovly personality. This has potential to be somthing really fun and also to get people to think a bit. Good job sir, good job indeed.

    Honestly, I'd love it if you kept making interview videos like this. I'm not an animator myself, I don't even draw; but I love art and hearing animators speak about their craft and things that they're passionate about. Animation is something I have an immense amount of respect for so it's really great to me to be able to see something like this. I also really like this video specifically because these guys helped shape my childhood/teenage years with the things they've worked on so getting to hear them speak about their lives and inspirations was very cool.
    If you do happen to read this Arin, even if you don't decide to continue doing these interviews just know that this one video means a lot to me and I very much enjoyed it. Thanks, Arin!

      Salvatore Fidanza An Egoraptor, or "Narcissus Tyrannis," is an endangered reptilian species from the barren deserts of Burbank. This illusive creature is unique; in that it finds nourishment not from insects, but from the euphoric brainwaves made by internet animators after receiving praise from the viewers of internet videos.

  • @CSDragon
    @CSDragon Před 7 lety +88

    I was confused for a moment why Arin said they were his heroes and then I was like "oh yeah. He's an animator."
    Like, somehow I've mentally separated "Arin from Game Grumps" from his Egoraptor animations. I do this with Dan a lot too. I'm like "Wow, Dan can really sing" when he sings something on Grumps, and then I'm like "Oh yeah! He's THE LEAD SINGER of a band...specifically known for his amazing harmonies"

  • @the_echoYT
    @the_echoYT Před 7 lety +330

    Totally on-board with more interviews.
    Big thing that bothered me, though:
    I think delving into their personal backgrounds from the outset was maybe the wrong angle. Since they're there for Little Witch Academia, starting the interview with that work would have been better.
    You can tell, around the 15 minute mark, when you switch gears to career talk, they opened up a lot more. An interview is really just a conversation; don't probe where they aren't comfortable.
    Also, leading questions. You were *really* bad with these.
    You keep asking a broad question, and then offering up different ideas to answer that question. It kind of confuses what you're trying to ask, and with your cadence in this interview it gets pretty meandering and weird. Next time, keep the questions straightforward and to the point.

    • @kaiiboraka
      @kaiiboraka Před 7 lety +51

      Good ideas, very on point.
      I would like to point out though, that sort of thing simply comes with experience. It doesn't help that there's a language barrier here, and that he's talking to these two industry legends and is super humbled by them. So in trying to formulate questions on the fly, he's also trying not to stutter, and trying to be thought-provoking, and all these things... Shit's hard, yo!
      But he's learning and trying new things, and it's awesome, and we appreciate it.

    • @ElegeantFencer
      @ElegeantFencer Před 7 lety +24

      You could tell Arin was projecting alot of his own personal insecurities as an artist into his questions. You could tell he has so much respect for Yoshinari since Ysohinari seems to embody what Arin is striving to become as an artist. So you could tell why his questions got too meandering in this interview.

    • @dlivingstonmcpherson
      @dlivingstonmcpherson Před 7 lety +20

      This is a great example of constructive criticism done right. Thanks The_Echo! I concur he should've eased into the conversation with more artistry based questions.
      I always enjoy seeing Arin's sincerity and love for things (art, animation, game design). It's easy to forget Arin's more analytical side of his artistry when he's cracking poop jokes. I enjoyed his tack of getting the personal stories of these creators as it painted a portrait of their contrasting personalities and work ethics: Imaishi's childlike enjoyment of animation filling his work with joy, and Yoshinari's more technical commitment to hardwork (but enjoying the 'training' in developing his technique).

I love being able to look at an animation or a game and be able to see what works and how it works with what the people making it are trying to achieve. Explaining how a Japanese audience would prefer slower pace for atmosphere would explain why some of my friends weren't into a movie I was into and it did really well in Japan. This has been a very enjoyable and informative video to watch, I would love to see more like this one, if you can.

      Missle Jordan it's just my preference:(What do you mean with try hard ?). They have really likeable characters (I like every one of the MC team), the artwork and music is top, the openings/endings are good (s2 opening killed it, it's one of my favorites), the voice actors are the best of newer franchises this season (except maybe youjo senki mc) and the pace-ing is great because it is not at all rushed. I like that there is always this love hate dynamic between the Girls and the mc. they do this just right because it's the only time it doesnt feel like harem for me and more like a adventure. the Girls like the mc but not in a romantic way which is a great Deal b/c it feels realistic. normally the female characters would blush or one after another fall in love... which is stupid because it ruins the end by default. well thats enough for now...
