Chapter 250: Unseen Advantages
"Easy, Pochita."
Ren quickly comforted her and said.
Dogs are very human-like, especially Pochita. After hearing Ren's comfort, the little dog instantly calmed down.
She even lay down on the floor obediently.
"Haha, Pochita is very well-behaved, don't be afraid," Ren said with a smile.
However, upon hearing the name Pochita, everyone looked at each other.
Anyone who has seen Chainsaw Man knows that the protagonist, Denji, has a little female devil puppy named Pochita.
Is Ren... directly drawing his own puppy?
Does this mean he is the prototype for Denji?
"Yuka, Hiroki, Yuta, help serve the drinks to the guests."
At that moment, Ren turned and said to his assistants.
"Yes, sensei."
Yuka, Hiroki, and Akutami Yuta immediately went to the refrigerator to get drinks and disposable cups.
"No, Amamiya-sensei."
Akio Ming quickly refused.
But Ren didn't believe him and said indifferently, "Don't refuse, you have to drink, otherwise you're looking down on me and don't want to do business with me!"
With such rhetoric...
Akio Ming and the others hesitated for a moment. Why did it sound like words to urge drinking at a party?
It's just that... they weren't drinking wine, but... Coke?
Akio Ming and the others watched as Yuka and the other two poured a glass of Coke for each of them, and they suddenly had a hard time understanding.
"Thank you, sensei."
Seeing this, Akio Ming and the others had to take the Coke and drink it in one gulp, as if toasting at a party!
Ayumi felt a little helpless seeing this, but Mr. Ren was like that.
And this isn't to embarrass people.
After all, it's not about convincing people to drink, but about convincing them to drink Coke.
Drinking Coke is much better than drinking wine; at least it won't harm you.
At most, you'll get fat if you drink too much.
After finishing the Coke, Akio Ming began to say, "Sensei, we came here this time to get the adaptation rights for the first part of Chainsaw Man."
"Alright."
Ren nodded bluntly and then said, "But you can talk to them about the conditions and so on."
He pointed to the legal staff of the Akatsuki Cultural Company.
"The sensei is direct."
Akio Ming was stunned for a moment, but then smiled and said, "As expected."
Indeed, Ren shouldn't object to accepting after having cooperated before.
Although his frankness surprised Akio Ming and the others.
"Then, sensei, please continue as the animation supervisor this time."
Akio Ming smiled again, "The last collaboration with the sensei was very pleasant... So we want you to continue to be our animation supervisor."
The last collaboration on the Edgerunners anime made them feel very comfortable.
Ren always makes perfect suggestions at key points, and he also handled the animation's music.
Later, the animation of Edgerunners was broadcast and was a great success, which showed that Ren's suggestions and ideas were completely correct.
So, this time, Akio Ming and Trigger Studios planned for Ren to continue as the animation supervisor, and it would be ideal if he also handled the music production.
However, Ren shook his head and said, "No, I'm very busy lately. I have to take care of the serialization of two manga... I'm so tired!...".
In fact, he was lazy.
Before Yuka, Hiroki, and Akutami Yuta, Ren was in charge of the serialization of Chainsaw Man and the drawing of Fire Punch.
Although Fire Punch was not serialized, he drew it directly as a complete single-volume series.
But back then, Ren did not delay the two manga at all.
It was mainly because he was a plagiarist... He really didn't have to think about the plot, and he was very fast.
He didn't need to draw a sketch, and he could easily finish the 30 or 40 pages of drawings.
He could handle the serialization of two manga without assistants back then, let alone now.
Not only does he have three competent assistants, but he also acquired a new skill [Swift Star (Diamond)].
With eight times the drawing speed, he can guarantee both quality and speed when serializing four manga.
So Ren mainly... doesn't want to work.
After all, he is financially independent and a renowned mangaka.
Why does he work so hard?
At the same time, there is another reason why Ren does not have much help for the Chainsaw Man anime.
It cannot be said that the first part of the Chainsaw Man anime in his previous life was a total failure, but rather quite mediocre.
However, this is mainly because the previous plot of Chainsaw Man was not very attractive and the production team was not satisfactory.
In addition to the "summoning fox" part, where Aki Hayakawa went viral, the plot of Himeno's death and the final plot of Aki Hayakawa directly smoking the "Easy Revenge!" cigarette were adapted.
They did not grasp the positioning of Chainsaw Man.
Since Chainsaw Man is not a traditional, improved, and passionate shonen manga, it lacks powerful moves and spectacular attacks.
The real appeal of Chainsaw Man lies in its more delicate and moving part, the deeper emotional part. Drama and inner drama.
Therefore, the part about Himeno and the final adaptation were well received.
However, the combat part, which had a high production cost, did not have a good reputation.
In short, it focused on the wrong moment and was born at the wrong time.
What was not understood was the creation of the emotional drama and the inner drama, nor the incorporation of effective additions.
Instead, it focused on the fight scenes, something that Chainsaw Man fans were not interested in.
The chapters of the Bat Devil and the Eternity Devil from the first part of Chainsaw Man did not stand out, and the later chapter of Himeno took up very little space and failed to reverse the reputation.
Ren did not perform such a deep analysis. He simply did not understand the Chainsaw Man anime well.
So Akio Ming and the others could only do it themselves.
In the end, Akio Ming had no other choice, so he had to sign a contract with the manga world's legal team.
However, faced with Akio Ming's music production demands, Ren agreed.
He just needed to take some songs from the previous life of Chainsaw Man and give them to Trigger Studios. Anyway, those songs were really good.
...
Thus, in a week, Chainsaw Man and The Gods officially announced that they would begin animation production.
This is something no one expected. He didn't expect two popular manga, which were fiercely competing in the magazine, to announce animation production in the same week.
I just don't know who will win.
Although The Gods is currently more popular than Chainsaw Man, it is difficult to predict which animation production will be more successful.
After all, many anime of the past were like that. The original works did not stand out too much.
But, after the anime was produced, they became a hit and a phenomenal work.
After all, this is a minority.
However, there are many examples of original works that are very popular, but turn out to be a disaster after being animated.
In these cases, in addition to some poor production companies, inappropriate productions, and magical changes, the remaining cases are that the original works are serialized and suddenly fail, which in turn affects the animation.
There are also cases where the manga themselves are very popular, but are not suitable for being adapted into anime.
There are also many similar cases.
It depends mainly on the original work and whether the original author's manga style is suitable.
Ren has used Edgerunners to demonstrate that his works have the potential to be a great success when adapted into anime.
Especially his unique style, which proves it.
But what about Yusuke Sato?
The animated adaptation has not been successful, so everyone doubts whether his animated adaptation can be better than Chainsaw Man or even Edgerunners. Everyone is skeptical.
Chainsaw Man is fine, anyway, everyone thinks that Ren's Edgerunners is hard to beat.
Not only Yusuke Sato, but also the animation works of the next three years will hardly surpass the existence of Edgerunners.
Everyone also pays more attention to Chainsaw Man, which shares an original author with Edgerunners and is produced by the original animation production team of Trigger.
At the same time, the latest episode of Chainsaw Man also brought with it the news of the animation production.
Following the plot of the previous episode, after witnessing Aki Hayakawa being dominated by Makima and signing a contract to offer everything, the angel and devils finally remembered everything.
"Makima..."
"Makima!"
After remembering the past and seeing Aki Hayakawa in the present, the Angel Devil, furious, roared at Makima.
"Huh? Angel..." said Makima calmly. "Did you remember?".
After receiving Makima's resounding answer, the Angel Devil no longer hesitated.
"10 years of life!"
The Angel Devil forged a vital weapon and, after losing both arms, bit the handle of the knife and pounced on Makima.
However, when the blade was about to cut his neck... "Lie down!".
The irresistible order came calmly from Makima's mouth.
Then, the Angel Devil fell at her feet, and the vital weapon he held in his mouth fell to the ground.
"You really broke free from my power."
Makima looked at the Angel Devil with doubt and said.
"You..."
"Who are you? What do you want to do?" asked the Angel Devil angrily.
However...
"Angel."
Makima did not answer, but calmly squatted next to the Angel Devil, and continued in an authoritarian tone, "Give me everything you have."
The Angel Devil could not resist his powerful control, and his eyes clouded over like Aki Hayakawa's, and he said slowly, "Give Makima everything I have...".
"Good boy," said Makima softly.
Then she stood up and walked towards the sea, letting the waves submerge her beautiful legs. "I'm sorry, you two, I can only do this."
"There are too many spies here, and the plan to defeat the Gun Devil has been leaked."
"Even if they threaten, it's pointless...".
"It turned out to be the worst situation."
What the hell does Makima want to do?
The fans now feel hatred and curiosity for Makima. What does she mean by this?
What does she want to do?
After forcing Aki Hayakawa to sign a contract, she made the Angel Devil sign a contract with herself.
Why?
But they will soon know what Makima does.
