However, Zhang Siyu then looked at the stacks of drawing paper on Fang Zheng's desk and said worriedly, "Director Fang, will you be able to finish on time?
Only those who had seen Fang Zheng work knew how complicated producing an anime was. Leaving everything else aside, the sheer number of original drawings alone was enough to make anyone despair.
What was more, Fang Zheng was doing almost all of this enormous workload by himself. That was why Zhang Siyu was worried about his progress—and whether his body could withstand it.
"Relax, I'll make it!"
Fang Zheng waved his hand indifferently. If this had been before, he really wouldn't have set the release date of his new work for November 1.
The schedule was simply too tight, and Fang Zheng himself had been worried that he wouldn't be able to keep up.
But free-to-play players couldn't beat paying players, and paying players couldn't beat cheaters. As it happened, Fang Zheng was a veteran hacker himself.
"Akame ga Kill!" still hadn't finished airing, but after running for a while, it had already brought Fang Zheng more than ten million Reputation Points.
Naturally, Fang Zheng raised his drawing skill to Lv6.
The improvement in his drawing ability after reaching Lv6 wasn't particularly surprising to Fang Zheng. With his current skill level, it was more than enough to produce anime. After all, he wasn't some kind of master artist~
But the increase in drawing speed had been an unexpected delight. Compared with before, his drawing speed had nearly doubled.
Combined with the system's accelerated space, this was also the reason Fang Zheng dared to release a new work on November 1.

October 24 was a special day for the countless Anime Enthusiasts.
At other times, they could miss the anime because they had to work overtime, had a date, or had all kinds of other reasons.
But today, of all days, they didn't want to miss it.
As for why, it was because "Akame ga Kill!" was reaching its finale today.
When "Akame ga Kill!" first aired, they had initially mistaken it for a hot-blooded battle anime. But as time went on, they gradually realized that it wasn't a battle anime at all. It didn't have even the slightest bit of fire in it.
From beginning to end, it was an extremely depressing anime. Fang Zheng was practically taking revenge on society, repeatedly wounding their young hearts and then sprinkling salt into those wounds several times over.
But when "Akame ga Kill!" really reached its conclusion, many people found themselves reluctant to part with it.
They admitted that "Akame ga Kill!" was cruel and oppressive, but it had also brought them many moving moments: friendship, love, and even bonds that crossed factional lines. All of these had left them with far too many memories.
When "Akame ga Kill!" was truly about to say goodbye to them, they suddenly realized that they were actually reluctant to let it go~
Time slowly approached seven o'clock. Countless viewers gathered at A Company, quietly waiting for the broadcast of "Akame ga Kill! 27," the final episode.
Some viewers with foresight had already prepared tissues beside their computers in advance, just in case.
As the anime began, on a devastated battlefield, Esdeath looked at Tatsumi's corpse with a slightly vacant expression.
"Because Tatsumi was too weak, that's why he died. That's all."
The words seemed to be spoken to Akame beside her, yet also seemed to be comforting herself.
She believed in the law of the jungle and survival of the fittest. Even now, she still believed that weakness was the root of all sin.
"But what is this feeling?"
Esdeath lowered her head and muttered to herself. She placed her left hand against her chest and could feel waves of stabbing pain coming from within.
Born in a frontier tribe and having personally watched her father and clansmen die before her eyes, she couldn't understand this unprecedented sensation.
The viewers watched silently as Esdeath stood alone atop the ruins. At that moment, they felt as if they were experiencing it themselves.
Because their beliefs were incompatible, she had never been able to stand together with the person she loved most.
And now, she had watched that beloved person die right before her eyes. Perhaps this was what it meant for two people to be fated to meet but not destined to be together.
That feeling had to be incredibly painful.
Hearing Esdeath seemingly ask Akame a question, yet also seemingly ask herself, countless viewers were left feeling lost.
So this feeling was love~
"This naive nation—I'll wipe you all out!"
"The Empire has lost, but my hunt is still continuing!"
"I'll search for the next battlefield. If there isn't one, I'll create one myself!"
Within the enormous wall of ice, Esdeath and Akame stood with their blades drawn, neither yielding to the other.
One side longed for peace, while the other longed for war. Their beliefs intertwined and clashed, colliding fiercely.
Watching the two of them about to begin their battle, the viewers felt an indescribable oppression in their hearts.
Akame yearned for peace, and her companions had even been willing to give their lives for it. Was there anything wrong with such a belief?
Compared with Akame, Esdeath was utterly pure. She loved war! She enjoyed battle and was even willing to create wars with her own hands!
In theory, most people shouldn't have accepted someone as obsessive as Esdeath, but the viewers couldn't bring themselves to hate her.
The viewers didn't want to see anyone else from Night Raid die, nor did they want to see Esdeath die.
But the battle had already begun. Although they still held on to their fantasies, reason told them that only one of the two could survive this battlefield.
Given Fang Zheng's usual style, it wasn't impossible for both of them to die together, either.
"There's no need for any more nonsense. If you want to deny me, then use your strength to prove it~
Listening to the delight and pleasure in Esdeath's voice, the viewers instinctively broke out in goosebumps.
In that regard, Zhang Siyu had truly given life to the character of Esdeath.
Her voice acting had displayed Esdeath to perfection: her unrivaled domineering presence, her gentleness toward Tatsumi, and her delight at the battle about to begin.
Every frown and smile had almost perfectly presented Esdeath in the viewers' hearts, as if...
