May Dormitory Diaries: Kaneko

Added 2021-05-13 00:12:45 +0000 UTC

Good evening, it’s Kaneko.

This is my diary entry for May.

I was essentially off during Golden Week, but the company remained more or less open, so I went to the office voluntarily.

The in-between animation inspectors were also off, so I practiced clean-up using assignments given to me beforehand and the tracing material I prepared. I spent the rest of my day catching up on films and dramas I’d been wanting to watch.

Since joining this studio we’ve had group training sessions about once a month. The other day I was taught about the anime production pipeline. I was only loosely aware of the process before, so I gained a lot from being taught by people who've been in the animation space for a long time.

In terms of my physical health, I’ve been able to keep going without any notable changes. Sitting down all day and not having enough time to exercise leaves my shoulders and waist in some serious pain. I’m trying to stretch frequently, but I’ve always been prone to stiffness. As soon as training calms down, I’d like to get settled with an osteopathic clinic.
