Top visual novel production studio Key (Kanon, AIR, Clannad, Little Busters!) gives an interesting tour of its undeniably shabby offices.
The first desk visited is that of Itaru Hinoue, responsible for some of the most beloved character designs in recent memory…
Not the most technologically impressive of workplaces, but one undeniably effective in churning out masterpiece visual novels.

I want to work for Key. I want to work for Key. I really, seriously want to work for Key >_<
Their office cubicle have alot of non-work related stuff.Dun really if the staff go there to play or work
now that is rather unexpected. Seeing how Keys always produce great masterpieces, i would have aspect something grand in their office. Surprisingly is quite humble n simple. Hahahaha~~ They have show the other company what they are made from. "Kecil Kecil Cili Api" in my language means, "Small Small Chilli Fire" literally translated.
Key fails fucking hard @ visual novels.
If they fail so "fucking hard" at visual novels, I wonder why they're so damn popular then?
And you fails fucking hard at troll
in before obvious troll is obvious
If you don't like something, try to keep the trolling for yourself, or you'll get hurt by yourself later. If you intended one for sarcasm, you fail at it too.
lol at the excalibur wallpaper
give me a van and 30 mins in that office please, if you know what i mean
I'm lovin that Rune Factory Frontier at 2:28 lol (currently playing)
Lol @ home center comment XD
They're very cost effective if it's the case. No expensive office equipment overhead whatsoever...
Fuuuuuck, i want my work space to look like that D:
Not that I even have a job...
Key Atelier = magic factory =3
I'd love my work space (if I worked in an office) to look like that, not that I really have one for just myself. The video has made me want to collect a bunch of anime stuff now, must save more money for A-kon.
WOOO!! 1:48 in, Na-Ga-san is proudly displaying a copy of Falcom's "Sorcerian". (: They've got good taste, them Key people, yessiree! They not only make awesome games, they PLAY awesome games, too!! (:
Very interesting video. Quite a humble office for a software company that produces some of the best gems in the visual novel/eroge industry.
Looking at that small room of Orito Shinji, the chief composer, you realize this is where all the tear-jerking songs of Air, Kanon and Clannad originates from.
Next to Orito's room would be the boss Maeda Jun's rather messy room, as he plots to make even more suckers (including your truly) moved to tears. xD
And then of course the artists, Hinoue Itaru and Na-Ga, their desks are certainly no less messy than Maeda's. ^^
I lol'ed at Excalibur wallpaper.
the voice make me imagining Gintama sneaking around with camera and pervert looks :D
Tissues ftw! I bet they draw, than fap to it. xD
But Hinoue and Na-Ga are both ladies, IIRC. Maybe it's for their male colleagues "Here's some tissue, make sure you don't dirty my pics while you're at it." lol
that's win
So that's what dreams are made of...
that room's made of pure win lol
one thing though, the furniture looks kinda boring... especially with the cubicle dividers...
but the interesting scatter of props make up for it :p
This is my dream office.
why does every desk hace a box of tissue???
It is spring in Japan, and a lot of people suffer from hayfever....
A tour of Studio Uguu~ XD
prolly the most interesting video posted on sankaku
...to me anyway >.>
I don't see any difference between my room and those offices.
Oh.. you're right...
They wasn't as clearly shown as the one in the fifth office.
I bet they have something like fappan friday.
this is so a super otaku office and it looks really good and clean
A lot of Otaku have clean rooms, you know.
i bet it looks similar to a lot of our rooms and apartments
True... it looks like a copy of mine.
Kinda made me seasick watching this.
And Sloppy as that office may have been, hell of a lot neater than my bedroom. ha.
Nice, I like the frog :P
THE GREAT KEY CALLS FOR OUR HELP!!!!
WE MUST SUPPLY NEW SUPPLIES AND MAIDS TO CLEAN FOR THEM!!!
And its Keropi :3
I would have expected something fancier. Oo
Even I have a better tablet than most of them.
And no-one had a Cintiq. >:
I have a cintiq <3
That's to show that gadgets don't make up for lack of talent.
+3
+1
+2
Judging by that box of tissues by the monitor in the fifth office box they seem to have a pretty nice job.
lol idd
>_> I bet they just have cold..all of them..^^ why would they otherwise need tissues :D
All those offices have tissue boxes. o_o
There's a thing called the flu. They have it in japan too.
Yep. it's all for their "post-nasal drip".
Seriously though. looks like just about every web/visual/ad design office I've ever been to/worked at with the obvious bishoujo anime production slant.
sounds like you have an interesting professional life. no sarcasm.
fuck the flu! wheres my hentai!
