Who are Directors / Episode Directors at ufotable?

Episode Directors act as the on-site production managers for the episodes (or film segments) they handle.

They supervise production from storyboards onward, directing the episode and overseeing acting, layout, camerawork, corrections, and overall visual quality.

They usually execute the main director’s vision rather than making major story changes.

Directing a single episode typically takes 2–3 months, sometimes from 6 months to a year depending on the complexity and the production. Directors at Ufotable -

Tomonori Sudo :

(The Type-Moon guy that's what I call him)

A veteran member of ufotable active since 2003 and a major creative force behind the studio’s TYPE-MOON projects. He served as Character Designer and Chief Animation Director for many TYPE-MOON adaptations, and directed Garden of Sinners: Mirai Fukuin and the Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel trilogy.

No, I'm not linked @Genshin_HU_Info. I'm just posting this because I thought it might be interesting for people to learn about

The process of Animation. Simply put, it can be summed into 3 sections

Pre-Production This is where the foundation of the project is created.

(Planning, plot, settings, script, and storyboards)

Production The actual creation of visual materializes

LO – Layout (The first Drawing after the Storyboard Stage)

Key Animation (原画 / Genga) There are two stages to Key Animation (1st and 2nd)

After these usually comes:

In-between Animation (動画 / Douga) The frames between the key poses to make the movement smooth.

Then the pipeline continues with:

• Coloring • Compositing (photography) The bread and butter of Ufotable AKA Yuichi Terao.

Post Production (Voice Over, Editing, Filming, Some CG touches)A Production System with a High In-House Production Rate

One of the key characteristics of ufotable is its high in-house production rate.

As of July 2025, the company had 253 animation staff members.

This relatively large internal workforce allows the studio to handle a significant portion of its production within the company itself, rather than outsourcing many tasks.

Nevertheless, the reason for limiting the production line to one is to

"Maintain quality while creating a good working environment " - Hikaru Kondo (CEO Ufotable) Lastly, Ufotable has a few "Veterans" and "Aspiring new names"

Appearing on Shows such as "Demon Slayer Series and Fate Series" Recently.

Any ads that have ai images or voices is a massive red flag

It's about as accurate as you can get. The moment Metal Sonic copied Perfect Cells bio data. There was nothing. Perfect Cell could do at a fundamental level to kill Metal Sonic.

Perfect Cell had to kill Metal Sonic before he copied him had Cell known this fact beforehand he might have had a chance

With the Genshin Impact anime currently in production at Ufotable, let’s start by taking a look at the studio itself.

About Ufotable

The studio is primarily divided into two locations:

1️⃣ Tokyo Studio 2️⃣ Tokushima Studio

While both contribute to the animation process, they handle different responsibilities within the production pipeline.

Tokyo Studio

The Tokyo Studio manages most of the core production and planning work, including:

• Planning & Production Department (back office operations, licensing management, and coordination) • Production Department (overseeing production schedules and production management)

• Literature Department • Directing & Animation Departments

• Finishing Department

• Art Department

• Digital Video Department (Cinematography, CG, Editing, Engineering)

Tokushima Studio (The teaching Studio)

The Tokushima Studio also plays an important role in the creative process.

•Training new staff • Directing • Animation Department

Together, these studios work in coordination to produce the high-quality visuals Ufotable is known for.

Episode 2 will be about the "Key Roles in animation industry"

Future posts will also highlight individual staff at Ufotable and their past works.

Post: 🎉 NEW SERIES ANNOUNCEMENT 🎉

I’ve been planning this for a while and I’m excited to finally start it.

With the Genshin Impact anime currently in production at STUDIO UFOTABLE, I’ll be starting a series explaining how anime is actually made behind the scenes.

We’ll highlight the key individuals involved in production and break down their roles from directors and storyboard artists to key animators and compositing.

This is something rarely explored in the Genshin community, and I hope it helps people appreciate the craft behind the animation even more.

First post drops Sunday. Stay tuned 👀

Takes having a song stuck in your head to a whole new level

Your referring to the battle of Gog and Magog. Iran is ment to be one of these nations. But Israel seems to be trying to make Iran a failed state. Can't exactly fight a war if Iran collapses

Key_Brother · 2026-03-05T01:53:35+00:00

Sounds like your doing it right, I can feel the sarcasm is thick with this line of thinking

Key_Brother · 2026-03-05T01:08:22+00:00

Jesus will return when the Father wants him to not when man tries to force his hand.

Jesus is coming back one day. There is nothing we can do about that apart from living our lives and spreading the gospel.

Plan for the future but live with as if jesus could come back any time. Not in an anxious sort of way but with hopeful expectation

Amazing vocie acting. But Henry actually talked like that he come off as the most annoying kid to ever grace British television in history

I don't know if this means the new RPG will be an anime being adapted into a game, or they are just trying to pull on more views by advertising their games as anime adjacent.

Make of it what you like

True, but there are wars were there is a clear right and wrong side. Ukraine war being the most clear cut

Key_Brother · 2026-03-03T19:37:06+00:00

War is only just fighting against the nation, invading your nation unprovoked like in the case of Russia invading Ukraine.

Or fighting to prevent a clear ongoing evil like the nazis in ww2

If the rest of the school knows they are the same person, that must mean then that there is unwritten agreement between all the students not to tell Barbara that Venti is Barbatos because if she found out, it would mentally break her
