Animation Production Process

Animation is created through a multi-step process
involving planning, layout,
key animation (genga), in-between animation (douga),
background painting, and final compositing.
Each stage produces original artworks that together
form the final animation.

Japanese Animation

Cel

What is an Animation Cel セル画とは

Animation cels are transparent sheets on which characters are hand-painted and placed over
backgrounds during traditional animation production.
Each cel is an original, hand-crafted artwork used in the final animation.

Genga

What is Genga (Key Animation) 原画とは

Genga are key drawings created by animators that define the main poses and movement of a scene.
They form the foundation of animation and are highly valued for their
artistic expression and connection to the original scene.

Douga

What is Douga (In-between Animation) 動画とは

Douga are drawings created between key frames (genga) to produce smooth motion.
While more technical in nature, they are essential to completing the animation sequence.

Anime and manga reproduction artworks are official, high-quality prints created from original illustrations.
These reproductions faithfully preserve the details, colors, and composition of the artwork.

Manga Manuscript Reproduction

What is a Manga Manuscript Reproduction 複製原稿とは

These preserve the details of the original drawings made by the author,
making it possible to experience the artwork as closely as possible to the original artist’s work.
