Veteran Director Warns Against Over-Reliance on Anime Adaptations
資深導演警告切勿過度依賴動畫改編
The Japanese animation industry is facing a significant creative crossroads.
日本動畫產業正面臨巨大的創意十字路口。《
Goro Taniguchi, the acclaimed director behind Code Geass and One Piece Film: Red, has issued a stark warning: the industry is becoming far too dependent on adapting existing manga, novels, and games.
Code Geass 反叛的魯路修》與《航海王劇場版：紅髮歌姬》的知名導演谷口悟朗（ㄍㄨˇㄎㄡˇㄨˋㄌㄤˊ）發出了嚴厲的警告：動畫產業正變得過度依賴改編現有的漫畫、小說與遊戲。
He argues that when studios prioritize these "safe" bets to mitigate financial risk, they stifle true innovation.
他認為，當工作室為了降低財務風險而優先選擇這些「安全牌」時，便會扼殺真正的創新。
By focusing solely on pre-existing intellectual property, the industry risks becoming a mere factory for sequels rather than a vibrant hub for original artistic expression.
若只聚焦於既有的智慧財產權（IP），產業將面臨淪為續作生產工廠，而非原創藝術表達蓬勃中心之風險。
To remain a global creative powerhouse, studios must find a strategic balance, ensuring that high-quality original animation continues to thrive alongside adaptations.
為保持全球創意重鎮的地位，工作室必須找到策略平衡，確保優質的原創動畫能與改編作品並存並榮。
