[Discussion] There is no subject in 'Anime Adaptation'—On how light novel anime adaptations have become the starting point｜Fable Unofficial Fan Club (Fable 非公式ファンクラブ)

The link as shared points to an MTL of the article from the original Japanese.

Going from the MTL, after trying to make sense of the word salad (there’s no shame on shortening this to make it more concise), what I gathered is: LN authors can skip the middlemen and make their own anime adaptation.

My thoughts on that: This is no different on how disruptive technology allowed authors to have more direct control of how they want to share their work. Think how bedroom music artists do not have to rely on record labels to publish.

It is also true that using AI to create your own anime (the author framed it very casually, as if you can do it when you feel like it) produces a very rough output. The article listed out specific flaws on how their attempt went.

If I’m put in a position where I find myself creating an AI anime, ideally, I would do it from a local LLM where I have great control of what gets trained on it (commissioned works from artists who will allow it and other licensed reference art, for one), and probably only for storyboards and drafts that I can hire a human animator to complete and polish it.
