Director Masaaki Yuasa announced his resignation and has directed excellent works such as "Devil Man" and "Ping Pong"

[Anime Miscellaneous Talk] About Yuasa Masaaki:

Yuasa Masaaki has a niche style, but he has directed such excellent works as "Devil Man Cryboy" and "Ping Pong". Therefore, he is a very popular and well-known director in China.

Although today is April 1, there are many untrustworthy false news, but Yuasa Masaaki issued a statement very formally. He said that he had resigned from the position of president of Science Monkey. This is a company he founded and thanked everyone for their help in the past seven years. At the same time, Yuasa Masaaki also said that he will rest for a while after the supervision of "Inu King".

Yuasa Masaaki has been very productive in the past few years. After the June 2019 animated film "Wish to Ride on the Waves with You", Yuasa Masaaki successively directed "Super Little White" and "Don't shoot the image." "Two works, and the upcoming "Japan Sinking 2020". The production schedules of these three works are basically entangled together. "Super Little White" is still being serialized. "Image Research" has just finished. The film "Japan Sinking" was made for Netflix, and it needs to be broadcast once before the broadcast. Delivery ten episodes.

So Masaaki Yuasa is likely to be in a "three-open" stage in the past six months, and as a company leader, he still has various affairs to manage, and feels that he will be busy at any time. Fortunately, the assistant directors and supervisors of Science Monkey are all reliable talents, and the finished animation has not been affected.

"The Sinking of Japan" is estimated to have reached the final stage, and Yuasa's overwork can also come to an end temporarily. In fact, last year he complained about the hardships of animation production and hated capitalists who did not approve of his own works. However, after vomiting hard, he continued to produce works as he did. This six months is definitely the peak period of his workload. It is estimated that such a large workload will be unbearable to anyone.

Yuasa's resignation as president this time is not a bad thing. The so-called technical industry has a specialization, and the animation director personally serves as the president, which may not be able to manage and operate. For example, the current president of Ghibli is Hoshino Koji, who used to be Toshio Suzuki. Director Hayao Miyazaki has always been on the front line of creation, so there is no need to worry about all the miscellaneous things. After putting down the burden of the president, Masaaki Yuasa can create with peace of mind. Although Yuasa said that he would cultivate after finishing "The Dog King", I think it is impossible to completely let go of the company. The scientific monkey still relies on Yuasa's contacts. In fact, it is also good to choose to retreat to the second line. Learn from Oshii Shouhe Xinfang Zhaozhi, set up a "general supervisor" to do the planning, and it would be good to follow the fish later.
