Three and a half weeks had passed since Theo announced the start of Tokyo Studios' two new projects: the Naruto anime series and the Spirited Away movie production. The initial excitement had settled into a steady rhythm of diligent work. The conference room, filled with the morning sunlight filtering through the large windows, was now buzzing with the focused energy of department leaders and key staff members.
"Okay, let's start with Naruto," Theo said, his voice cutting through the ambient hum of conversations. The room quieted instantly. "I'd like to hear updates on the pre-production phases: storyboards, character designs, background designs, and world-building."
Ryoko, who had been eagerly anticipating this moment, stepped forward. "Let's begin with storyboarding," she said, her excitement barely contained. "Jo Nesbo and his team have made significant progress."
