Araki set aside his career in traditional anime to explore new opportunities in the h3ntai industry. Seeking greater creative freedom, he now takes on roles such as director, character designer, storyboard artist, and animation director in adult anime productions

It may seem surprising that an animator who contributed to the first Urusei Yatsura film and multiple episodes of Toei Animation’s globally hit One Piece is now producing h3ntai. However, one cannot overlook the significant demand for such content, which also offers more creative flexibility.

Going from a hectic weekly schedule to a monthly/seasonal schedule is the kind of retirement job a long serving animator would want.

Before transitioning to the R18 industry, Araki’s extensive filmography included work on Night on the Galactic Railroad, Windaria, Silent Möbius 2, Inuyasha, Steamboy, and many other classics.

That's a hell of a resume.

The animation quality on h3ntai is really low compared to regular anime so it’s even less work for him.

Especially considering how much of it is just straight up repetition

Good for him . Hope he gets that easy (by comparison) H3ntai money. One Piece while very prestigious must be stressful as fuck to work on.

I saw the schedule manga drawers are on. Im no stranger to tough hours but those hours are ridiculous

I'd buy stocks in hentai-free memes yesterday. The impact frames are about to inflame the entire Internet.

On the right corner of the internet, anyone capable of drawing boobs can get paid for it
