Well they are an Ex chairman so hopefully that's a good sign?
Man, thank god Miyazaki exists in this world. Fuck this demon tech.
If Kadokawa says that, it will end up overexploiting it like the Isekais, as well as the CGI.
it's not, it's an ex executive. I surmise he's no longer there for a very obvious reason.
He was arrested in September 2022 on allegations of bribing an executive related to the Tokyo Olympics in exchange for KADOKAWA receiving preferential sponsorship treatment.
He was later charged by prosecutors and stepped down as chairman of the company on October 4, 2022. He denies the charge. KADOKAWA’s current CEO, Takeshi Natsuno, confirmed as recently as March 2025 that Tsuguhiko is barred from meeting with him and is not involved in the company (Toyo Keizai). Despite Tsuguhiko’s lack of involvement with KADOKAWA, which is active in conventional and short anime while also “actively investing” in AI for production, his words underscore a growing trend.
From the article.
seems like the guy just wants to hurt kadokawa and the industry at large because he was caught doing something he shouldn't have been doing.
Every time I'm watching a low budget anime with terrible CGI, I think, wow, if only we could add AI into the mix too.
Will exArm get a new season?
I can already imagine the market being flooded with both adaptations and anime made on the fly, and you look at it all and think, damn, I'll never watch that much in my life, why the hell are there so many of them, they're not even all that different from each other, complete crap, so what should I watch and is there any point at all?
Some of it already seems AI generated tbh.
Well, considering that AI could create anime a year ago, albeit with human editing, yes, they can do it now.
This is definitely a time I will 100% gladly gatekeep anime. If gen "AI" is used I will 100% say anyone "working" on it isn't part of that industry and is nothing but a pathetic loser not worthy of a job in any real anime company.
Similar sentiments to short form anime. Also towards people who watch either.
I'll stick with what I'll be calling real anime if that future becomes the new normal.
Old man screaming at the cloud in the sky and in the server.
Anime on demand! Please no there's already enough trash out there.
I can see how Generative AI can help streamline animation or save man hours for studios that use outsourced animators but this isn't that, this is just "money, more money"
