Is there anyone who's familiar with Science SARU, the animation production company that catapulted into the spotlight with Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken? This year, they've produced a number of fascinating anime titles, including The Tale of the Heike and Yurei Deco, and it could be said that 2022 is Science SARU's hottest year yet. Yurei Deco, which depicts the adventures of Berry and Hack in a virtual space, is particularly noteworthy among the many anime titles airing this year, so many readers may have landed on this article while searching for information about the series. In this article, we'd like to take a closer look at Science SARU, a notable animation production company that will undoubtedly produce more fantastic anime in the future.
Watch Science SARU's Feature-Length Animation
The most effective way to understand an animation production company is to watch and analyze many of their works. Science SARU, the studio behind "Yurei Deko," has produced numerous other animated works and is a renowned, up-and-coming animation production company. From here, I'd like to introduce some of Science SARU's productions.
"The Night is Short, Walk on Girl"
This is the first animated feature film for Science SARU. Because this work is based on a novel, it was said to be difficult to adapt into a film, but it was a stunning success. Despite being the first feature film, it grossed 550 million yen, making it a hit. This film is truly an important work in the history of Science SARU.
Lu Over the Wall
This film is directed by Masaaki Yuasa, the same director as "The Night Is Short, Walk On Girl." Many of the Science SARU animated films are directed by Yuasa, so it's important to remember his name in conjunction with Science SARU. This film has received acclaim not only in Japan but around the world, winning the Cristal Award for Best Feature at the Annecy International Film Festival.
"Ride Your Wave"
Like the above, this is a theatrical animation directed by Yuasa. This work was selected for the Golden Goblet Award for Best Animation at the Shanghai International Film Festival. Like "Lu Over the Wall," this work was also officially selected for the Annecy International Film Festival, and it can be said that it has received even more acclaim than its predecessor, earning it even greater recognition.
"Inu-Oh"
This is the latest work by director Yuasa, whose theatrical release was just this year. It is set in the Heian period, during the chapter "Inu-Oh." This work was finally released three years after the release of his previous work, "Ride Your Wave," and is surely a long-awaited release for fans who have been looking forward to a theatrical animation produced by Science SARU.
"The Tatami Room Time Machine Blues"
"Inu-Oh" isn't the only feature-length animation produced by Science SARU in 2022. "The Tatami Room Time Machine Blues," a novel by Tomihiko Morimi, will also be released as a feature-length animation in 2022, produced by Science SARU. While Science SARU has produced many TV anime this year, it's also working on two feature-length animations.
Watch the Science SARU TV Anime Series
So far, we've introduced the feature-length animations produced by Science SARU. Each work has a strong following not only in Japan but also overseas, demonstrating the high quality of Science SARU's works.
Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! 』
First of all, "Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!" is arguably the most notable TV animation produced by Science SARU. "Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!" was Science SARU's first TV animation, and thanks to the high quality of the animation and the popularity of the original manga, it became a huge hit. Even today, many fans probably think of this work when they hear the name Science SARU.
The Tale of the Heike
When it comes to TV animations produced by Science SARU that will air this year in 2022, many readers may think of the original Science SARU work "Yurei Deco." However, "Yurei Deco" is actually not the only Science SARU work airing in 2022. "The Tale of the Heike" will also be airing in 2022 as an animation produced by Science SARU, so be sure to check that out as well.
"Ghost Deco"
And above all, "Ghost Deco" is arguably the most anticipated title of the year. The story follows Berry and Huck on an adventure in a virtual world, and you can expect to see the unique character movements and fast-paced plot that Science SARU has cultivated over the years.
Especially keep your hands off Eizouken!
While Science SARU has animated many fascinating works, we want you to pay close attention to their first TV animation, "Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!"
The atmosphere of the original work is faithfully portrayed!
That's because "Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!" beautifully captures the atmosphere and fun of the original work, making it a truly flawless adaptation. This makes it a work that fully utilizes Science SARU's skills as a production company.
Depiction of dynamic movements
The appeal of "Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!" isn't just its ability to perfectly capture the atmosphere of the original work. It also beautifully depicts the dynamic movements unique to animation, a quality that can't be experienced in the original work alone. It's a work that offers the unique appeal of an anime.
It made Science SARU known to the world
Not only does this work fully capture the atmosphere of the original work, but it is also a high-quality animated work that has been praised by many anime fans. Given its high level of attention, it can be said that this work made Science SARU known to the world.
The genes of "Eizouken" also flow through "Yurei Deco"
"Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!" is currently acclaimed as Science SARU's masterpiece, and the unique appeal of this work can be felt even in the promotional video for "Yurei Deco." From here, I would like to introduce the elements that "Yurei Deco" inherits from "Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!", Science SARU's masterpiece.
Exhilarating Movement
First, when watching the trailer, I want you to pay attention to the exhilarating movements of the characters. Dynamic images are a crucial element in animation, and just like the Science SARU series "Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!", this work features exhilaratingly moving characters, making for a thrilling storyline that's enjoyable just by watching.
The clever thing about not actually drawing quickly is that it's not done quickly!
Rather than drawing quickly, the way the backgrounds and characters are drawn distorts to match the speed is a technique that was used exactly in "Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!", so the frequent use of this element also shows that this work has the genes of "Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!".
Why "Yurei Deco" is so popular
Science SARU has produced many fascinating works, including "Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!", but even among their many productions, "Yurei Deco" is a particularly noteworthy work! From here, I'd like to explain why "Yurei Deco" is attracting renewed attention.
Original Work
This is because "Yurei Deko" is Science SARU's first original work. Science SARU has produced many fascinating animations to date, including "The Night Is Short, Walk On Girl," but all of these works have been based on original works. Among them, "Yurei Deko" is Science SARU's first completely original work.
Maybe this will give you an insight into Science SARU's philosophy?
Because it's a completely original work, Science SARU was able to decide every detail, from the story progression to character settings. This makes this the work Science SARU most wanted to create.
Don't miss it!!
For fans who have seen Science SARU's previous works and want to see something they've created with serious intent, this is a must-see.
