we've had a composer, voice actor, animator "are we missing anyone"? *Nano sitting in the rain by herself*

"We're actually the hentai of the Anime Industry" -Mr. Anime Producer, 2023.

Garnt, Connor, and Yoshihiro: Arcane what a great show, absolutely amazing, 10 out of 10 Joey: *silent

Man, Garnt really shines as an interviewer in episodes like this

Yoshihiro-san: "Yeah I worked on this really cool project... etc" Garnt: "Did it ever get released?" Yoshihiro-san: "Nahhhh" As an animator myself I felt that in my booones. Such a mood hahaha

I really appreciate how in these industry episodes Joey and Garnt tackle the more in-depth side, and Connor asks questions from the pov of a person that's not as in in the industry's intricacies, like a lot of us I feel Gives a bit of everything for everyone Mr Watanabe was a great guest, really chill with a lot of interesting insights!

So orange is not just a animation company, but they're also a tech company. I really want to see an interview with their programmers.

I've never seen connor this calm in one episode.

From anime animator, to anime OST composer, to finally anime producer. Damn, they’ve come far.

Trigun Stampede was the sleeper hit from the last season. Studio Orange refuses to miss. Really, really looking forward to this.

Garnt is a really good interviewer. He has a great understanding of what questions to ask, when to ask, and how to redirect the conversation when needed.

All you have to do to make Connor shut up is by having an anime related guest LOL.

The stuff about automorph and toon shading was really interesting. You could tell how much better Studio Orange understands how to make 3D look "anime" than most other studios. The boys kept trying to get him to "spill the secret" but I don't think there is any, the only difference I could glean from this interview is that the artists at Studio Orange just understands the software and what it's capable of way better than anyone else in the industry. Everybody else is playing catch-up.

i can't explain how fast i bought tickets for me and my husband. fun fact: all he knows about the boys is garnt's story about trying to kill a cockroach with a boob mousepad.

This was actually a tease at the Studio Orange Trash Taste Anime with music by Kevin Penkin, starring SungWon Cho(ProZD), Lily Ki(Lilypichu), and Connor Marc Colquhoun(CDawgVA) with official doujin by Shindo L, Its all coming together

"Land of lustrous" was absolutely revolutionary at the time! outstanding anime

I'm actually impressed by grants questions I'm wondering if he prepared the questions beforehand

It's funny when a professional comes on Trash Taste when 99% of this podcast is wild takes and poop jokes.

As a graphic designer, I love the part when he mentioned that when you design something it's because of a purpose. It's hard for some people to understand that, when you work on a big project it's not about "I would like to do this" it's about "this NEEDS to be done". For example, you don't go to the doctor for a suggestion, the doctor will tell you what's wrong with your body and he knows what your body NEEDS to deal with the issue. That's why research, schedules and preparation in Pre-Production it's important, you're dealing with other people's time, money and maybe even health, you need to do your role, assume the responsibility and be as honest and clear as you can be, because if you and the other person are not in the same page, 99% of the time it results on the project burning to the ground, so be responsible and make sure to be clear from the start.

I like how Garnt indirectly asked basically why we not getting a HnK season 2

Trigun Stampede has been a very enjoyable experience all around, starting from the show itself - character design, world building, soundtrack etc., you can tell just how much love and effort was put into tristamp - and ending with interacting (albeit in a passive way) with the crew and getting interesting insights. Yoshihiro Watanabe himself interacts with fan content regularly which is also very nice and endearing in a way and motivates fans to participate in online spaces dedicated to the show. Hell, I even came back on Twitter and Tumblr solely to post fan content dedicated to Trigun Stampede. This interview was also full of great insights about the industry and I'm super happy to know that the works they create are products of passion! Very much looking forward to more of Trigun Stampede, and I hope it receives continuous support enough to fund at least 5 seasons of this masterpiece. Recently I've seen more and more people get into the show even despite their reservations at first, and they really do not regret it. The season finale was phenomenal.

We getting a producer this time and it's from studio orange we hitting the big leagues now Bois. If they manage to get a director it would finally be complete.

"We are the hentai of the anime industry" What a banger line

LOVED this episode. Honestly Garnt could have a podcast of his own just interviewing people. He's so good at it.

I'd give anything for Land of the Lustrous Season 2. Please whoever is involved.. give Orange the greenlight for it.

YEAAA BABY THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR

I was impressed with how different Trigun: Stampede was. Studio Orange outdid themselves. I hope Trigun: Stampede returns for another anime story, considering how it ended.

Just finished the whole video. I'm so glad to see Mr. Watanabe here and I've been hanging on his every word the whole time. Firstly, TRIGUN STAMPEDE IS AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE!!! My mind hasn't been blown in such long time and definitely not like as much as when I was watching TriStamp. I was looking forward to every new episode every week. Oh how I wish Stampede Saturdays would return. I'M DEFINITELY HYPED FOR THE CONTINUATION!!! Secondly, oh my god, you want to tell me you HAVE A WHOLE TIME LINE FOR 150 YEARS SINCE THE CRASH AND EVEN FOR THE TIME BEFORE THE CRASH?! And also all those details (trade routes, maps...) Lore....LORE I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW EVERYTHING! With how Mr. Watanabe said there is so much of it that it could make other 5 shows, my expectations are now high. I need Trigun to keep expanding, I need it all. The world is too intriguing and too good to not be throughoutly wxplored on the screen. This information blew my mind. 400 CONCEPT ARTS?! If you ever - and I hope you do - put out an artbook for TriStamp I'm immediately buying it. From what I've seen of the concept art, it's JAW-DROPPING. AND I WOULD LOVE TO SEE EVEN MORE! The motion capture part was also really interesting, and just the talk about the whole process opened my eyes so much. There has been put so much effort into this show, I'm literally teary rn. Anyways, thank you so much for this video/interview, I appreciate it so much and I admire Mr. Watanabe and rest of the team for what they did, do and will do. I really cannot wait for the future of Trigun Stampede and I'm glad that the continuation has been greenlit.

Zoids!? Now you’re speaking my language. Xebec really was a pioneer for 3D animation in bloody 1999, it was so damn good a lot of people don’t even realise Zoids was 3D animated. I know I definitely didn’t 😅

I love seeing these insights from people that work within the industry. Great stuff

Trigun Stampede was absolutely amazing!! Studio Orange knocked it out of the park on it and everyone that was involved in making it deserve so much praise. I'm so glad it was made so I could be introduce to Trigun.

Thank you boys, I needed this. I just came back from a long day of interviews and now I can finally relax and listen to you guys.

I hope Trash Taste manages to somehow invite a guest from the AAA Japanese gaming industry because I think gaming is one of the topics that they didn't go on the same level of depth as this episode for example. Connor and Joey(I doubt he actually finished any) both have experience with soulsborne and all of the boys love Berserk, so bringing in someone from FromSoft, ideally Miyazaki himself if he could speak english, I think that will make a banger episode. CAPCOM, Nintendo, Square Enix, there are couple of options but I think it would be hard to pull anyone from the major studios to talk(considering the strict policies they might have regarding the infos about studios getting leaked) and let alone invite someone who also can speak english, but I really hope, one day. Also, banger episode, Watanabe Yoshihiro is such a sweet guy.

To answer Connors question about if models cost a lot to produce, why do other studios who do 2d also make and use 3d models occasionally for shots it is also to save money, at least from my own experience. Orange produces mostly in 3d and so their models are constantly in focus and need to be able to do a lot more. More expressions, more controls, likely cleaner geometry. Producing models of this quality and per character can get steep. On the opposing side 2D animes usage of it usually has the purpose of cutting back on animation time. Since the model may not be used as often it wouldn't need to have a huge suite of controls and be particularly high quality as it's purpose is mainly just to cut back on having to hand animate and makes it easier to do quick scenes or more dynamic ones. Alternatively in the case of like AoT or Mecha anime, if you spend a good amount of money upfront making a decent model, that ends up paying for itself down the road as that can asset can be used again and again. (Even easier for stuff like Mecha and titans because they don't really need a whole lot on expressions or even any at all) Unfortunately animation is an industry that is generally always gonna get pretty costly, but it is fascinating what tricks can be employed to ultimately save money while hopefully not compromising on vision to much.

I love how different the boys are when it comes to entertaining their guests. It feels like Garnt would always go ahead and prepare for the guest episodes, or make an effort to never not have a question for the guest at a given time, Connor seems like he’s always enthusiastic with interviewing guests who he shares experiences/backgrounds with but keeps to himself or allows the other boys with more knowhow with the guest and only asks questions he’s genuinely interested in and which he’s admittedly ignorant of and tries his best to always be open minded, and Joey’s always in the middle who just reiterates others’ points or just says “Banger!” whenever an old school, classic, or obscure anime is mentioned. I honestly think the 3 of them together makes a great team for interviews like this.

The boys are getting top-tier guests!! Much love, keep it up!!

Looking back, it is truly special on how far these boys have come.

Land of the Lustrous, Beastars, Trigun Stampede, Dorohedoro, etc. are the pinnacle of modern 3DCG anime. Stuff like Paprika and Made in Abyss are the perfect middle-ground of blending traditional and 3DCG together. Honestly if it looks and feels cool I don't think people should care what the medium is. Yes the bear in Golden Kamuy was ridiculously poorly done, but also made it kind of hilarious, though that is one of the few blemishes on an otherwise amazing adaptation.

Love when the boys just interview their guest. They’ve got some good questions, I really feel like I learned something this episode.

I loved Trigun Stampede. This episode made me appreciate it a lot more. Now I'm off to watch it again!

This guest was SOOOO COOOL please make a special episode with all these people you guys gathered from the industry, Joey's childhood voice actor friend (lmao), Kevin and Nabe! Or anyone else, i just want an excuse for 1 or more of these people to come back on the show. Great as always TT

industry insiders are ALWAYS such fascinating guests to see the perspective of! i'm always caught off guard at how quick the time passes by and not noticing because the conversation was THAT much interesting! and having this gentleman on made it even MORE interesting because he's more versed into the CG\3D side of it which is already an uncommon thing to being with because of how very rarely it's done well, so yeah, it was SO cool to hear him talk about the process and what goes into it! i know it's hard to get English speaking perspectives on, but please get more of these types of guests as much as you can!

This is honestly one of the best episodes of the podcast! I absolutely love when you have an industry professional like this that can give an inside look into the medium we all enjoy so much. Thanks for making my workday more bearable :)

1:33:38 I know he'll never read this but I just wanted to say that Beastars did that for me. I never knew I could be so emotionally attached(or emotional in general) towards a show, movie, book, or any sort of media but what I felt while watching Beastars, I really needed in my life. I didn't even know there were emotions(sensations as he put it) like that in life and, although it sounds a bit silly, I never truly understood what life had to offer before experiencing Beastars. So, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you and everyone else who worked on Beastars, it means so much more to me than you could ever know. If your goal was to change someone's life through anime you accomplished it with me. Thank you.

Yoshihiro Watanabe was such a great guest! He definitely got more comfortable towards the end of the podcast. Would love to see him back.

Please do more podcast with people working in the anime industry

What a great, informative, and funny episode. So cool to hear from a producer from one of the best CGI anime studios. Excited to see what his dream production series is!

This has been by far and away my favorite episode. Please bring more experts like Yoshihiro in here!

I watched the OG Trigun with my dad way back when, and now I watched Stampede with him and he loved it. Looking forward to the next season

His outlook is so interesting. His point of view is so uplifting. Always looking to how he can be advancing the culture, always seeing how cultural interactions can be mutually beneficial, and always looking for places to add value into the world. I hope more businesspeople grow up to see that side of things instead of "how can I extract the most value from you"

Really good episode! As an illiterate to animation and everything that contains in the production process, it's always amazing to hear about the amount of care and details put into each and every single part of the making. Definitely gonna be looking forward to more of studio ORANGE's works coming into the future.

Honestly really loved this episode, nothing better than a behind the scenes viewpoint

AMAZING EPISODE !!! MORE GUESTS PLEASE

This guy is so charismatic, I loved him

great work mudan! thanks for adding all the descriptions

great one guys! Always a pleasure to watch trash taste and lay back after the long workweek

Every ainana watcher watching this is screeeeeaaaming just from the mention ❤ me included! This was such a great look into the industry! Thank you guys for having this episode 😊❤

Studio Orange and Sola Digital Arts are awesome with 3D animation. Trigun and Ultraman respectively have blown me away animation wise. Love to see Yoshihiro, saw him last fall in AnimeNYC

One of the best episodes in a while. Amazing guest, engaging questions and overall fun ❤

This guy is awesome! Looking forward to more studio orange works

Nice to see another anime episode, and not only that but it has a guest that worked within the industry, pretty cool.

Houseki no Kuni is one of my alltime favs ahnd won me over as to how awesome 3D anime could bei, as the music, animation, music, story, ahnd voice acting all blew me away. Studio Orange has so much artistic integrity, as in all of their shows they just knock it out of the park in characterization ahnd overall product 👌👌

Episodes like this are the best guest episodes by far. Thank you for doing this

This is the most educational episode yet and I love it

I appreciate the team at least asked about the possibility of more Land of the Lustrous, even if they didn't name it directly. It wasn't a particularly hopeful answer, but there's always a small chance I guess. Given that the subject immediately followed up with talking about how much more expensive a production becomes when dealing with more characters, etc, I can kind of see why TOHO & Kodansha haven't made more of an effort into getting a sequel made. A continuation would require a loooooot of new assets.

Hey guys, great episode but the guest's name isn't anywhere in the title or description of the video. Can you guys be sure to give him the respect he deserves and make sure to note his name somewhere, besides in the video? He may not have any socials to link to but half way through I was wondering "What's this guy's name again?" and it's nowhere to be found in the video description.

Great ep guys. Thoughtful questions that made the guest shine.

Really really informative and deep episode! Great having Yoshihiro on!

this was soooo perfect and really added fuel to my trigun brainrot, thank you for your thoughtful and genuine questions and answers!

Studio Orange really is in a league of its own when it comes to 3D anime. I will never forget how stunned I was when I first saw Houseki No Kuni. Really wish it gets a Season 2 though. 😁

love episodes like this where they deep dive on an industry/person regardless if its anime related!

These industry guys are always so chill. Very nice to listen to

Damn, wish they asked him about funding with things like Patreon. I wanna give the studio money directly.

still cannot believe some anime studio workers sleep in their studios, its nuts

Damn Garnt asking the great questions that enhances the conversation. Your passion kicks ass Garnt!

Another banger and informative episode. Really had fun and he is so cool. He seems to really value his works

AH SO EXCITING ❤️ trigun will always be my favorite and the remake/reboot slapped so much I loved it . I loved the direction they took it in

another banger episode from the boys. So much insight into the great humans that produce this art for us!

From 2 hours of talking about taking a poop and hygiene to full anime episode with an anime producer,true embodiment of trashtaste podcast..we love you guys!

When they started introducing the guest and said he's the producer of Trigun Stampede, I was like "Oh, it's the guy who tweeted he bought the book that bigolas dickolas wolfwood recommended"

amazing episode! such a great guest👏👏

Love this podcast 💜💜💜

Bro, imagine if you end up meeting with enough anime-related workers that you could basically just make your own anime.

Yes another anime episode and it's once again thanks to a guest!!

It's always amazing hearing from the production side of things, may it be video games or anime. We need more of these. Will definitely finish Trigun Stampede later.

Love these interviews of people involved in the anime industry

Trigun as well as Ghost in the shell are the perfect examples of when & what Genres of anime are perfect for CGI. What is the series focus? Is it it Hyper kinetic or movement focused? A series about Gun-Kata & about the future with full body cyborgs are the best fits. Similar example with Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac. It's a very spectacle heavy fighting show. The same reused 2D dragon attack animation gets stall and dull after a while. Yet with CGI; you can always alter the Angle's of the camera position. Add in new animation effects/background. With much greater ease and cost (relatively speaking) you'd need to redo sections of the 2D animation. Which will be tedious for all the checking that needs to be done. Meanwhile with 3D it's simply 'an addition' to the existing asset. Which can always be looked over and improved, improve resolution and texture work. I love the high grade metal in Knights of the Zodic mixed with the 80's eye's and artstyle. 3D CG Anime can absolutely work. So long their is merit & a unique reason to use that medium. Recklessly using 3D animation for every project ruins it's reputation. Especially when used for 'School anime' or Slice of Life. Those series are about emotional connection. So the flat animation medium is less intensive. Thus stimulating. Too much visual data. It's akin to trying to tell a Fairy tale story. Expect the medium is Call of Duty. The adrenaline is going to override the endorphins. Similar case with Gundam/Code Geass. The conflict is important to the the characters and the audience is investments in those story outcomes. Not the 'Epic shounen battle Fighting'. K-ON, Non Non Biyori. All the disposable Isekai anime. CG has effectively the same amount of work intensity regardless of the scene. Where as 2D Anime. Having 2 characters talking in a cafe. Costs nothing. Whilst demanding little resources. Furthermore; certain Video-game the dyes will not translate over properly in 2D. Unless they're extremely Anime/old enough to began as pixel Art games. EG Street Fighter or Super Mario. Kiseki (legend of Heroes.) walks in between that line. So does Persona to a point. Which is why both anime's are very solid promotions. Although, Street fighters anime movie was still constrained by the colour palette limitations. A franchise of the 3D era will not. It'll look awkward or wrong. Tekken is a good example. Facial expressions or designs appear overdrawn and dense. Same with FFXV Anime. Consequently 3D CG projects can definitely be used to reboot/revitalise old IP's. Like Trigun, Saint Seiya and Ghost in the Shell. Saint Seiya in particular often showed the limitations of its Television Anime Productions. As it would be too expensive per an episode to faithfully animate the work with its complicated designs. Obviously if TV Animation Projects had the budget as anime Games did. To produce those opening FMV's. Like in Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm, Persona franchise, Final Fantasy (since 1994), Dragon Ball Games, Street Fighter, Tekken, Scarlet Nexus, Mortal Kombat, Metal Gear Solid, Borderlands and Lika a Dragon (Yakuza). Then no one would every complain or be sceptical naysayers. However, we do not live in that economic reality yet. Finally. Star Wars The Clone Wars is a great example of mainstream success with CGI Animated series. Although it must be disclosed that it started in 2008. So despite the fact that George Lucas with paying for the series out of pocket by a significant amount. (1 Million Dollars an Episode, which I broadly believe.) Because it was 2008, very early days of the medium. The costs will've certainly decreased over time until now. It's still a relatively expensive TV Productions. For the equivalent of movie level animation on a weekly basis. Given how Disney pulled the plug after buying Star wars from George Lucas. Replaced it with Star Wars: Rebels afterwards. Which looks significantly worse and is a downgrade from Clone Wars. Should be a board indicator of the Scale of budget Established TV Networks will give for a 3D CGI animation show. (Substantially less) Even with the fundamental declining costs on average compared to 15 years ago. When 3D CGI is a Cutting edge technology. That George Christopher forward just as he did with green screen in/for Star Wars prequel Trilogy. And that's a Western Company. Think about the size difference for a Japanese Publisher/production Committee! Risk Adverse with reluctance to invest into improved Productions. The Venture Capital Steaming Bubble (Boom) is the only reason why Star Wars The Clone wars got renewed life via The Bad Batch. (4K HDR, improvement cost's are not Cheap) Also Dave Filoni proving himself. Whilst working on The Clone wars, creating Ahsoka Tano, The Mandalorian and more importantly being, bare minimum amount of competent. Whilst LucasFilm continually ruin the bed & drag Star Wars IP value with them. I add all this in due to The Clone Wars demonstrating the massive potential for 3D TV Shows. If the property was appropriate for it or enhanced it. Star wars absolutely is. Even more so when you observe all the awkward restrictions in the live action TV shows.

Been a huge fan of Studio Orange since Houseki no Kuni. Really great seeing people appreciate the studio for the amazing job they do!

This has been such a interesting episode thank you for this will be sharing with my friends

Great episode!

I was falling half asleep until 7:17 came around and woke me up from pure shock

Yoshihiro Watanabe seems like such a calm, confident and interesting person. I really enjoyed this Episode's vibe and topic - and now i've decided to give trigun stampede at least a try

thank you guys for this new video

Really cool episode! You all asked great questions and I learned so from Yoshihiro-san about the industry (it's nice to get confirmation abt things from other specualtive analyses on anitube). What a great ep

I am so glad the 3 episode rule is actually a canon strategy than just a superstition.

I need to watch Trigun Stampede already, this should push me to watch it

Great episode! Loved hearing Yoshihiro Watanabe experiences XD

Can't wait to watch this one! Loved several of the shows and films he worked on! Hulk Vs., Planet Hulk, and Trigun: Stampede!

Now I will learn all the secrets and start producing my own anime

I love this podcast I couldn't stop laughing by every story by Watanabe Man love this guy
