Though WIT is busy with adaptations at the moment, they have also produced some stellar original anime, like Great Pretender. Everyone had a hard time the past few years, and people were wanting to see something more lighthearted and friendly." "It shows how the anime can reach so many people across many generations because both groups are both super passionate about it. "We have both our youngest staff members in their 20s and our oldest staff members in their 50s and 60s working on this movie," Wada said. The movie, Spy x Family Code: White is set to release this December in Japan and has super spy Loid Forger and his fake family (which includes an assassin wife and an esper daughter) on vacation, in which surely things will go wrong. The last one in particular is interesting, because Spy x Family is not just one of the biggest manga and anime of the moment, but because WIT Studio has been planning for the movie since the very beginning.Īs Wada told IGN, the studio envisioned a larger format for the anime from the start, and approached manga author Tatsuya Endo and got approval to tell an original story set in the world of the manga. In fact, the past couple of years have seen the studio grow their new shows, like Ranking of Kings getting a second season even without a lot of manga to adapt (Wada wouldn't confirm if more was coming, but the existence of Treasure Chest of Courage and its teases for the next chapter of the story is as good a confirmation as any) and Spy x Family getting both a second season and also a movie. In order to prevent this, the studio has spent the past few years working on hiring animators as full-time employees in order to deliver animation at a faster schedule that allows them to keep franchises and see them through to the end. "Manga fans really want anime to come out at a quick pace, and the very fast-paced schedules meant we couldn't always accommodate," Wada said. Speaking to IGN during Anime Expo, WIT Studio president, CEO, and producer George Wada explained that the goal is not to have to hand off shows to other studios, but it’s often the manga side of productions that prevents that from happening. That’s not for a lack of trying from WIT's side.
