Attention, Netflix Anime Fans!
If you're a long-time viewer of Netflix anime, then you absolutely must know WIT STUDIO, this renowned animation company! "Attack on Titan," "SPY×FAMILY," "The Ancient Magus' Bride," "Great Pretender" – these red-hot, household-name anime series all come from WIT STUDIO!
The High Standard of Animation Production Attributed to a Former Company?
It's worth noting that WIT STUDIO's predecessor was the illustrious "Haikyuu!!" production team, PRODUCTION I.G. Thanks to its excellent team relationships and background support, it has consistently been able to secure outstanding animators and voice actors for its other animated works. Its productions are largely renowned for their fluid animation and the profound stylistic colors of their producer-directors.
Founding Visionary Tetsuya Nakatake
Tetsuya Nakatake, one of the founders of WIT STUDIO, collaborated with director Tetsuro Araki as an animation producer after establishing the company, initiating the production of the anime "Attack on Titan." This series won Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Soundtrack, Best Theme Song, Best Female Character of the Year, and Anime of the Year at the 3rd Newtype Anime Awards.
This animated work was a decade-long endurance battle, concluding its third season in 2023 and establishing itself as a classic.
Film critic Rebecca Silverman praised the film, stating, "The visuals are both gorgeous and stunning."
Takashi Katagiri's Connection with SPYxFAMILY
Furthermore, Takashi Katagiri and Kazuki Yamanaka, as director and producer for WIT STUDIO, along with Tetsuya Nakatake, one of WIT STUDIO's founders, contributed significantly to the explosive popularity of "SPY×FAMILY," inspiring both adults and children to mimic Anya's catchphrase, "Waku Waku"! These three will personally attend Taipei National University of the Arts on the afternoon of October 25th to share their creative experiences with the audience. Fans of WIT STUDIO absolutely must not miss the industry lecture at the 2024 Kuandu International Animation Festival in October!
An Unseen, Innovative Work Style?
WIT STUDIO's animated short series "Great Pretender" (known as "詐騙之王" on Netflix), written by Ryota Furusawa, is characterized not only by its brisk and sharp storyboarding and editing rhythm but is most renowned for its dazzling and magnificent background art design. Its artistic style can be described as bold in its use of color. WIT STUDIO has not only achieved success in general commercial animation but has also delivered an almost artistic presentation with this work.
