05:51Chad Stahelski, director of John Wick, revealed in an interview with Polygon his passion for anime
05:57and his desire to work more in the medium. With a career that includes collaborations on Fist of
06:02the North Star and Ninja Kamui since 1995, his most recent project is Lazarus, an original series by
06:09Shinichiro Watanabe, where he designed action sequences filmed in live action and then adapted
06:14them to the exaggerated style of anime. Stahelski emphasized the creative freedom of anime,
06:18you can have a character run on drones or monorails. It's amazing! Although he admires
06:23animators, they create worlds from scratch. I just use real locations, he confessed to envy,
06:29if I knew how to draw, I'd never leave my room. After Lazarus, the director is moving forward on an
06:34animated John Wick prequel film, focusing on the night he broke his pact with the high table.
06:39Directed by Shannon Tindall, it will be part of a trilogy that expands the universe.
06:43Despite his schedule, Stahelski is hoping for more offers from Japanese studios,
06:48a career as an anime action designer would be a dream. A new trend on Twitter is capturing the
06:53attention of manga fans, the use of artificial intelligence to animate static panels,
06:58creating dynamic sequences that simulate movement. Although the technology is still limited,
07:03the results such as action scenes with camera effects or characters with fluid expressions have
07:07generated enthusiasm for its potential to transform the industry. Although purists
07:11question artistic authenticity, many see this as a natural evolution. Mangakas could integrate
07:17animated panels into digital works, enriching the narrative. Meanwhile, studios like MAPPA are
07:22already exploring AI to streamline traditional animation processes. Fuji TV faces a severe shortage
07:28of sponsors for its anime, including reruns of Assassination Classroom and Call of the Night,
07:34which have been broadcast without outside advertisers since March 2024. Instead, they only promote
07:39in-house content, such as dramas or baseball games. The most critical case is Chibi Maruko-chan,
07:45which is celebrating its 35th anniversary without sponsorship since Kabetsu's Shido campus withdrew
07:50its support on March 16. The problem erupted after an abuse scandal involving Masahiro Nakai
07:56XSMAP in June 2023, where Fuji TV reportedly had indirect involvement. Although Weekly Bansan magazine
08:03rectified part of its report, the reputational damage led to the resignation of the channel's
08:08president and Fuji media holdings. The current model of anime on broadcast TV is 70-80% dependent
08:14on sponsors. Fans and experts warn about the fragility of the system if other channels follow suit. Without
08:20sponsorships, anime on free TV could collapse. This exposes how vulnerable the model is, warns an anonymous
08:26analyst. That's all for today. Which of these news stories surprised you the most? Leave us your opinion in the
