The Problem with Science Saru (Yes Clickbait (*Emotional*))

whoahh, another video?? I'm not complaining, but thank you for your entertaining analysis!

I don't think this is clickbait, it's just interesting facts, i would say

I am so rabidly fucking excited for their ghost in the shell adaption

i know science saru only for Scott Pilgrim. i may be stupid

I definitely think the biggest problem with Science Saru and by extension Yuasa's projects there was being stretched way too thin, doing way too many things at once. Everything he made after Ping Pong wasn't nearly to the same level of quality as what he made before, and that's cause he was probably working on three projects simultaneously at any given point. I really hope he gets to take his time with whatever he's working on now, and really focus on it. Hopefully we get something to the same level as Ping Pong, Tatami Galaxy or Kaiba again one day.

Not to come in here with an agenda, but Ping Pong mention = maybe Ping Pong video?? Anyway, cool to get a video more broadly focused on the industry!

4:18 The Science over took the Monkey and Yusa would not stand for it.

Science Saru has fallen (yes comment bait).

From what I know of US labor laws and history, better working conditions don't come about through companies self-policing. Citizens have to push government to step in and pass labor laws. Government then has to enforce the laws it passed. I'm not at all familiar with Japanese labor laws. However, I've heard many stories of Japanese office work culture being awful when compared to American office work culture, though we certainly have our own 'churn and burn' industries. If the topic interests you, perhaps you could do a video exploring American versus Japanese labor laws/history that affects the animation industry. For example, are there Japanese unions? Do Japanese employees stage walk-outs, quit en masse, or do other forms of protest when their working conditions are awful? What do Japanese labor laws say about required breaks, minimum wage, etc? Is there anything American viewers can do to pressure US companies like Netflix to improve working conditions/compensation for Japanese animators? No worries if this is outside the scope of your channel. 🙂

Also Notable that Saru was acquired by toho last year, that could mean they were financially down, i hope toho doesnt push more projects onto them they are clearly struggling with the current amount they have on their plate considering how post ep 7, ddd basically ran on fumes and they had to add another director for cour 2
