Friday, December 4th.
Cafeteria, Tokyo Animation Studio.
This was the fourth day since the studio opened, and now most of the new employees were used to their new jobs.
Each team had a task to complete, and they gave their all to complete it.
They all wanted to impress their bosses.
That's why the employees had excited faces as they had breakfast that morning.
And the group of 25 people that studied together in college was no different.
They were in different teams, but they were used to eating breakfast together.
That's why they chose a big table every morning so that they could eat together.
"How's the work in your team, Brianna?" One of them asked.
"Hmm, it was difficult in the beginning. My teammates and I were not used to each other's styles. But since the second day, we have been improving. We are responsible for the character designs of the monsters that appear in the anime. So, you guys can imagine that our job is difficult." Brianna replied as she sipped her hot milk tea.
"Oh, you told me! I imagine that you have to pay extra attention to the and the script." Mitsue commented.
"You don't tell me. Even though the boss had given us the designs for the main characters, he chose to give us the task to design ourselves the other things." Brianna replied.
"I imagine that it is taxing to do this job." Zofia commented.
"So much! We have to constantly see the designs that the boss gave us to see if it is of the same style and quality. But I love my job." Brianna said with a smile on her face.
She genuinely felt happier than ever in her life.
Even though she never was so far from her family as she was now, her love for the job offset any homesick feeling she had.
She finally was able to work with art creation in anime!
She thought that she would always be stuck as an in-between animator in Sakura City.
Her friends also smiled when they heard her words.
Even though their workload was huge, they did not complain because this was what they wanted.
"But I heard that the editing team's workload is the least of all teams." A glass-clad man commented.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEveryone looked at Araya when they heard that.
Araya was the only editor in their group, so she knew more information about it.
"Humph, that's obvious! What will we edit if the frames are not even finished yet?" The girl grumpily replied.
They smiled when they heard her grumpy answer.
Araya was a grumpy person, and she was even more in the mornings.
"But we are doing some work too. My team leader is a genius by the way." Araya added as she remembered her leader.
"Oh, who is she?" Brianna asked curiously.
"Nora Wells. She is an absolute master editor." Araya replied with a voice filled with admiration.
"I heard about her. It seems that she was the only editor to earn a Supervisor position." Zofia commented.
"Really? She must be skilled indeed."
The friends had a lovely breakfast before they headed to their respective teams' workstations.
They had a long day ahead of them, and they could not wait to start!
And it was not only them that were feeling like that.
Bruno walked toward his team workstation after he had breakfast with his friends.
He was the leader of his team, so he had responsibilities to follow.
He arrived in the room, and he notice that he was the first person to arrive.
But he already expected that.
He got used to arriving earlier than the working hours stipulated, he wanted to give a good impression to his teammates.
After waiting for a while, his teammates arrived and Bruno looked at him with a smile on his face.
This would be their 4th time working together, and by now, they were already used to each other.
Bruno had to admit that his team was awesome.
They listened to his commands without problems, and they all talked as equals.
Bruno had a small meeting with them after everyone arrived, he discussed what they would cover that day.
Bruno's team was responsible for the background designs of the cities that appeared in the anime.
It was a lengthy job, but they liked it.
The team started working after they combined everything.
They had focused faces as they worked.
They wanted to produce something amazing.
And it was not only Bruno's team that was feeling like that as the work started that day, every other team was feeling the same.
While the animators worked hard to produce the anime.
Ryoko was in her office working too.
She was one of the busiest people in the studio.
The blue-haired girls had so many things to do.
First, she had to keep searching for animes that Theo would buy the rights to for the streaming service.
She was searching for cheap options with quality.
And she already found some.
She started making a list of animes that they would buy when Theo gave the signal to start the purchases.
The second thing she had to do was to find a team to work on the sound effects of the anime.
Even though there were several people in the market, she wanted people with experience and skills to assume the position in the studio.
After all, this was an essential part of the production, and a bad sound effect can ruin the experience for the viewer.
That's why she was being extra careful as she searched for these professionals.
She contacted several people in search of the right team.
She was even considering following Theo's suggestion to search for small sound studios to buy them.
These sound studios received requests from other studios to produce the sound effect for the animations.
That was how these small sound studios made money.
But the market was brutal, so it was inevitable for some studios to fail even with talented people working there.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnd Ryoko was looking exactly for this kind of studio with talented people, but a decadent studio.
Theo had given her a little more than 1 million dollars for her to get the sound effects team.
And she was planning to use that money with the purchase of one of these struggling studios.
Or maybe she could just hire the professionals.
She didn't know yet what she would do.
It depended on what situation the studio that she chose would be in.
And the third thing was that Ryoko had to supervise the production of the anime.
Even though every step of the production had supervisors, she still liked to see if her animators were indeed following what Theo and she wanted.
Sometimes she would watch the live feed of the teams working.
And sometimes she would simply walk into their workstation and inspect their work.
Because the initial process of production was mainly made by the in-between and keyframe animators, she mainly went to their workstations.
And when the animators saw their boss inspecting them, they tried extra hard to not be too nervous and do a good job.
In the past three days, Ryoko had been satisfied with their work.
She was even more hopeful about the future after seeing the animators working.
And that was one thing that made her week even more joyful.
She was already happy because she got her dream job, and now she was producing an anime.
But last Tuesday, Ryoko received her salary for November.
And it was so much money that she had to call Theo to confirm it was the right amount.
She received fifty thousand dollars!
That was more money than she had ever seen in her entire life!
And the most shocking thing was that Theo told her that her salary would increase when they launched their anime and streaming service.
Even though Ryoko loved her job, she also loved the thought of living without worrying about money.
That's why she was even happier this week.
The future looked brilliant for her.
