Chapter 456
Chapter 456-An Animation tormenting Millions of Audiences (Grand Finale)
January 10th, 2026.
It has been exactly two decades since Takagi Makoto’s journey into this world.
In the past two decades, I have done a lot and gained a lot.
My career has been completed, my personal goals have been achieved, and there are no special things I want to do. However, there is still a long way to go in the journey of life.
What should be your goal in the future? Do you want to live the rest of your life in a muddle-headed manner?
He stayed alone in the study, thinking quietly for a long time.
The whole day passed by in a flash. At night, he still didn’t expect the answer. However, when he was boringly swiping his phone, a video caught his attention.
A video on the Z station, the video title is: “Takagi Makoto-an animated man crying to millions of viewers”
The video producer’s nickname is “Okazaki Friends A”, an up host with hundreds of thousands of fans on the Z station.
Makoto Takagi knows this up owner, because this up owner has recently made a lot of videos introducing the big players in the animation industry, and they have done a very good job. The content of the video is difficult to know for people in the industry, and they are all objective. In fact, there is no place for making up, so that he has a little doubt that this person is actually a senior animation media person.
I introduced the previous videos of other industry leaders, Takagi Makoto has watched it, but he didn’t expect it to be his turn now, and he actually described him as “an anime man who abuses millions of viewers”.
Instead of checking the comments below, he clicked on the video and watched it silently.
The video is very long, twenty minutes in total:
“Hello everyone, I’m Okazaki Friend A. The videos of the previous episodes, based on your feedback, seem to be pretty good. So today, I’ll publish one issue that everyone most wants to watch and is the one I want to be the most. .
That’s right, it’s Makoto Takagi, also known as the old thief Takagi, the warrior of love, the tear gas devil, the rich man with the blade, the killer of the heroine, the master of the depression…
Friends who have watched my previous video should know that my two favorite animations are “CLANNAD” and “Your Lie in April”, so I named it Okazaki Yuren A.
“CLANNAD” and “April is Your Lie” are two of the many animations made by Makoto Takagi.
Regarding these two animations, related videos have been made before, so I won’t say more here. Now I’m going to talk about Makoto Takagi, who is the producer. Yes, this is the man who tortured millions of viewers.
On October 30, 1982, a baby was born at the Yonemura Private Hospital in Tokyo. This year…”
Speaking from birth, even he knew which hospital Takagi Makoto was born in. This is how Takagi Makoto didn’t think about it, because he didn’t even know which hospital “Takagi Makoto” was born in.
Not only did he talk about his specific date of birth, but he also got in touch with how the animation industry was that year.
After that is the turmoil and recovery of the animation industry, which is related to the explosion of “New World Mecha Warrior” and Yamazaki’s Gao Ming animation film.
It seems that “Makoto Takagi” was influenced by these animations and broke into the animation industry after graduating from high school.
Whether it was affected by these animations, Takagi Makoto didn’t know, because after all, he didn’t come across it until 2006.
However, he felt that the up master was right, because when he had just crossed over, there were DVDs of “New Age Mecha Warrior” and those animated movies by Yamazaki Gaoming in the room, and they were all in the series. There are various posters.
It is impossible to say that it is not affected at all, but I don’t know whether this up master is guessing, or I don’t know where the information came from.
“In 2003, Takagi Makoto was exceptionally promoted to IBS production management because of his outstanding ability. At that time, he was not even 21 years old. It is almost foreseeable that as long as IBS develops well, he will become a production manager sooner or later. People, IBS management level figures, but in that year, IBS closed down due to poor management.
The company closed down, but at that time, as long as people with good abilities had no place to go, Takagi Makoto did the same. Just a few days after IBS closed down, an animation company sent him an invitation letter, but he refused.
He did not choose to go to another company, but took the remnants of IBS and established a new animation company on October 10 of the same year, which is now the famous DOS.
The newly established animation companies generally can only live by outsourcing, even if almost all the people in DOS come from IBS, it is not without relevant experience, and it is no exception.
In the first two years of its establishment, DOS has been in a state of outsourcing.
However, two years later, in 2005, Takagi finally quit, so DOS’s first animation “Heartbeat House” was born.
Of course, everyone knows that this animation has very poor sales and rubbish reputation. Before the remake of 18 years, it has been regarded as the black history of DOS.
As an ordinary person, he finally ignited his ambition to make original animations. When faced with such a blow, most of them will never recover, but… I can only say that he is worthy of Takagi Makoto.
The failure of “Heartbeat House” did not dampen his confidence, on the contrary, it seemed to have completely opened up his mind, and he was out of control since then.
It was also after that, Takagi Makoto’s first real animation “CLANNAD” was born, and the path of an animation tormenting millions of viewers was opened.
I don’t know if anyone has ever watched any animation of Makoto Takagi. If you haven’t watched it, then you might think that an animation crying millions of viewers is an exaggeration, but as long as you watch it, you will Knowing that this statement is not an exaggeration at all, just give a few simple examples…”
To the front of the video, everyone just watched it with interest. The barrage was basically spitting, until the host of up started to give examples, cite various examples, including “the place to cry is only in the bathroom and in the arms of dad” related clips, Relevant fragments of Lelouch’s death, ed from “Unheard of a Flower Name”…
After giving an example, he said: “Do you think that Takagi Makoto’s animation abuses millions of viewers as an exaggeration? Looking at friends who are crying, please put the “cry” barrage on the screen…”
The video is here, and above the barrage, the screen is full of “crying”.
Takagi Makoto didn’t watch crying, but he was still very emotional.
After watching the entire video, he couldn’t help but mutter secretly: “Is an animation a man crying to millions of viewers?”
After twenty years, I don’t know how many animations I have made, and each one is very sad and teary.
In addition, most of what he does are highly popular animations.
Indeed, it may be the most accurate to describe him as “a man who abuses millions of viewers in an animation”.
However, since it’s all about it…Although he will not do animation again in the future, as the president of DOS, he can lead the promotion of more tear-gas animations.
Thinking of this, his face couldn’t help but smile.
Just take this as your future goal.
