It has also been confirmed that Shinpei Nagai will director One-Punch Man season 3 at J.C. STAFF. Nagai also released a statement on directing the TV anime series.
Hello everyone, nice to meet you.
I’m Shimpei Nagai, the director of One Punch Man Season 3.
I completely understand everyone’s reactions.
Please calm down and hear me out, if you would.
I’ll explain why I was chosen, and it might be a bit long, but please listen.
I’ve been a freelancer from the beginning, and that hasn’t changed.
At 37, I wrapped up my apprenticeship and stepped into the anime world with a work called “Hiiro no Kakera.”
I learned how to create hybrid animation with 3D in a project called “Aquarion Logos,”
and after that, I switched to a 3D company for just one year, contributing to image boards for “Altered Carbon” and such.
My goal was always Manglobe.
I honed my skills on Episode 6 of “GANGSTA.” and “Samurai Flamenco,” among others.
I was aiming for a hybrid of 3DCG and hand-drawn animation, but as everyone knows, Manglobe ended up closing down.
In the midst of that, J.C.Staff became a long-term partner, commissioning me for storyboards and direction throughout the year.
However, since I’m relatively unknown and don’t have standout achievements as an animator, I thought it might give a bad impression, so I asked to keep it under wraps.
Then, when the consultation for One Punch Man Season 3 came up, I focused on incorporating a new workflow—something I discussed in CGWORLD, bridging 3D and 2D workflows—to squeeze out even one more second of production time.
I sincerely apologize for keeping quiet about this.
The team is giving it our all on site.
I can’t discuss details about the production, but I’m open to answering what I can within limits.
