Japanese Office Tour : GSC

great tour! the start with you holding the handy cam kinda reminded me of the shakey handy cam effect from movies like Cloverfield n blair witch. lol

i thought of bringing my figures to work but can't imagine other pple grabbing them with their dirty hands! lol

Can't wait for more tours.

Very nice tour, hope to see more of it in episode 2.

Man, they look like they got such a fun office environment to work in.

Awesome stuff as usual Danny. The 3-D tech was awesome, maybe you can show us a finished computer model of what the guy was working on next time?

Awesome Danny, can't wait to see more. They really seem to have some fun at those companies, I am jealous.

I got no problem at all with the YT video, it works perfect. (b・∀・)b

Thanks for the tour! :)
You have a funny English-Japanese accent. :D At the start I even asked myself "Is that guy really from England?". :)

First off, I think this is the first time I've heard you talk in English, Danny. Nice accent! ;)

Very informative video and I guess the staff at Good Smile Company must be very familiar with you visiting and playing with their figures. I think if you were in charge, they would have to change to the "Good Eyes Company"... hmm, you should consider starting your own rival figure company perhaps?! Just kidding :P

No, problems viewing this video. For me, it's depends on the time of the month as I have a download limit and once I reach it, I go to 64kb speed, which totally suck.

I'm looking forward to more videos, Danny, especially the animation or ero company one!! (better have that Mirai mark blocker sorted out by then hehehe)

Oh how I wish I didn't have to go to work so I could watch more :(

Gonna have to wait all day to finish since work blocked Youtube.

so that's Mikatan =3

the Haruhi bunny nendoroids are staff exclusives!?! O.O...ME WANT~!!!

GSC Office store room = *drools* *wub*

interesting tour of the GoodSmile office ^^

i'm looking forward to your part 2 tour ^^

Dont' say sorry, it was a great tour - even for someone who isn't into figures it was very interessting to watch and most important, easy to understand.
Also the camera movement was pretty much good too, seems Mikatan has expierience or a load of talent for it but i didn't notice any moments were i would have said "uhh missed something" or such.
So, thumbs up and looking forward to the next one. ^^v

What an amazing tour! It's so interesting and informative. Thank you so much for sharing it with us~ :)

It must be awesome working in a Toy Company such as Good Smile. Being surrounded with figures must be heaven. D: DO WANT.

And by the way, in all this time I've been reading your blog (2-3+yrs) I think this is the first time I've heard your voice clearly, haha. You have a lovely accent. :)

Awesome video!! Thx a lot Danny XD

Wow they sure have a nice office there and the people working there looks friendly ^^

Naughty Danny teaching them about the "Eyes" XD

Looking forward to the next video!!

wooo.......how many times did Danny-san mention EYES, big eyes, small eyes, cute eyes, pretty eyes, hehehehe. You're so lucky man!
Looking forward to the rest of the GSC tour video.

Wow, thanks for the tour Danny! Looking forward to episode 2 of the tour and also your future videos

How I wish there will be a time where I can join them to work out and design figures^^

Btw, now that I have take a peek into Chuchu Asutoramu figure that you have shows us, I feel very happy that I have make the decision to order it. The "eyes". But I regretted for not pre-ordering miku. Hope I have the chance to get it^^

Loved how you explained "eyes" to them :D

Great Video Danny, looking forward to the other ones!

thanks for the glimpse of heaven danny.

It was also an interesting experience to hear you speak in english for the first time. (i think?)

"This is my first time touching this actually. Wow... Really sweet, look at that. I'll just take it home..." *Tries to shove Hatsune Miku Figure into pants*
Danny you joker! Don't forget to get one for us too!

Drool...That has to be the best job in the world Danny. Thanks a lot for the tour, waiting for ep2. I hope you do more of these 'documentaries' as it's a good way to see stuff you otherwise wouldn't.

MY GOD DANNY. YOUR ENGLISH IS SOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!! PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD anyways nice interview ._. you were awsome on the video. got to save it on my favorites in youtube

Wow that looks so much fun. I agree, I wouldn't get much done if I was there all day.

Hatsune Miku soo kawaii. Can't wait to see the next episodes.

いいなぁ～　今度一緒に行こうよ！

Very interesting tour. Thanks. :)

I didn't have problems watching this video at all. Once in a while a YT video loads only slowly, but it's most likely the servers that are a little slow and not my connection.

it's really nice to be in an office filled with figu^^ but they must get work done so we would have more figu~

Miku nendo is really KYA~waii, maybe should've get her eh?

I cant wait for moar of this awesome figu workplace tour~ X3

nice tour, though i can't hear most of your voice due to stupid notebook sound speaker T_T.
i heard lot of "eyes" ^^

Looks like a great insider look, though I wasn't able to see more than the first minute or so on account of YouTube's finickyness. I'll try again later.

LOL @ "eyes" explanation cool video

nice lovely yoko pai... er no i mean nice video.

it's the first time i'm seeing Mikatan in person. she looks cute! ^^;

me look forward to more episodes! cheers!

I like the explanation on the eyes ^^;

Nice video coverage on the insides of Good Smile Company

nice britannia, oh..i meant british accent you got there. And naisi nihongo you sipiriku...

love the accent btw, great video series i'm excited about the new ones to come. I know if i worked there i'd never get any work done!

very envious of them working in a fig company...so fun and you don't see any one of them having trouble with their work cant w8 for ep 2...oh and btw..this talk on figures how do you guys keep your figure clean..like no dust or dirt on them...do you like spray it with antidust coat or somting pls help

wow really nice trip u got there! When are u making a trip to Bandai Gunpla Factory! I would like to see all those Gundam!

Cool!! subscribed! can't wait for more, keep it up yo. love your accent, "mmm eyes"

Big eyes!
Wondering if the Japanese get the gist of it as well as the English speakers. =/

Thanks for the tour danny and mikatan! XD Looks like quite a place to work in O_O so many figures around and so many parts/steps attributing to completing a figure! O_O

great tour of the good smile offices. It seems like everyone likes their jobs there, shooooooot, who wouldnt?!?!
looking forward to ep 2.

amazing! I wish I could go visit those places in one day!!! (@@.

Great job Danny, pretty neat to see the office, and it looks like they have a good time there compared to a normal IT office ;p

I heard from a lot of people that iMovie 08 wasnt very good, and you can get iMovie 07 what was supposed to be a lot better. It should up on apples website. Or you could get Final Cut Express if you think you're gonna keep making videos.

Keep up the good work, and maybe nextime you can to the Gundam factory : 3

Wow that was some tour, it's interesting to see the company look so normal. Somehow I half expected something as spectacular as the Bandai Gunpla factory lol. Guess I'm thinking too grand of a scale huh? I kinda chuckled when they used the figma Nagato to present the Hatsune Miku hehe.

very nicely done!

i will definately be tuning in for the next episode. (definately need a theme song... O.o)

i do truly believe GSC and Max Factory is true artists when it comes down to figure sculpting...

some companies seem to produce figures regardless whether or not they are good or bad as if they have a quota they need to meet at the end of the month...

definately, quality over quantity in my opinion...

oh btw danny, any plans to do coverage on Alter? I am expecting them to be a powerhouse in the figure world in the next year or so... would love to see something for them!

"goodies goodies goodies!"

Wow, this is like a best dannychoo.com post evar, well at least till episode 2 comes out. Danny would you be less nervous and shy in front of a camera (shy... yeah right :) ) if it was in your Trooper gear ? :)) .

Youtube is always slow. When I load videos from Vimeo they usually load in a second or two an are generally much higher quality than youtube.

Wow, that was great Danny. I really enjoyed that video :p. You did a great job actually, I hope you continue doing these video tours.

I didn't have a problem with the video btw, I never have problems with things like that and I'm on a 10 MBPS cable connection.

ALL RIGHT DANNY THIS IS MY FIRST TIME SEEING YOU WITHOUT THE STORMTROOPER COSTUME ^^ that was a good video it's nicely done!!!. i noticed that u keep saying BIG EYES!! hhahaha yeah DANNY BIG EYES!! WAY TO GO DANNY, THANX FOR SHARING THIS WITH US!

Ore wa netamashii!! ヾ(ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ

Nice man. Too bad im not into figures much. What is episode 2 gonna be over.

Oh...and I can hear that english accent. Pretty cool that you can retain it even while your speaking mainly japanese.

Hey Danny!!!!!! Love the video tour of GoodSmile. Now I want to visit what goes on in GoodSmile. I wonder do they give tours. I want to see the next epsidoe soon!!!!!!! Great job on the video!!!

lol, you so sound like a pervert with all your "mmm" and "sweet eyes" :D

great tour and video, thanks a lot!

This was the first time hearing Danny speak English! I like your British accent. Video was really fun, pictures are nice but it just doesn't beat video. Thanks! Can't wait to see part 2.

cool video, thx for the tour danny !

XD Yeah, just gonna repeat what the others said really. Always knew you were from Britain, but the English accent still caught me off guard - I've heard you say Japanese, but English was new.

Thanks for the vid. That 3D pen-computer-feedback thing was twenty levels of awesome.

wow, nice video danny :D and thanks alot ^_^ i'd just love to work at good smile, its seems lovely xD and that hatsune Miku figure was cute, but id prefer a 1/8 scale one or something

Wow Danny, you've got one hell of an English accent.

Wait a second. I heard laughing in an office. How dare anyone have fun while working. =]

wow, i'd love to work at GSC, maybe its time for a career change. thank you Mikatan and Danny for the awesome tour!

'..some stuff!" classic ;D

Mmmmmm...lol this is nice.. Fate figures and Miku...want!!!...3D printer....I like everything in that video!!!

Nice video, very interesting to know how the company is organised. People look like very open. Thx Danny

Thanks for the tour Danny, really enjoyed it.

i sooooooo want that 3D printer.

Wow! What a nice tour! So many figures. Defo want a whole load of them. Alas, we get to hear you speak English. I hear hints of a Cockney accent and a general southern posh accent. That's coming from someone who comes from the north (which is the best) and has a mixture of British accents, most noticeably a Mancunian accent!
Wonder how much that printer costs...likely a lot lot more than my whole student loan. Thanks for the video, looking forward to future ones. GO BIG EYES!!!! O.O

hey Danny, you still using the Xacti on this? video looks great.
about the poll question, no problem viewing. only hitch when watching newly posted videos is that my office computer has no sound.
T-T
so I would sometimes watch your video again at home. ^^

i was tricked! when i saw Mikatan's picture as the post header, i was thinking, "wow who's that cute girl with the ponytails?"

then when i clicked to enter, the header pic changed to danny's picture! lol! ^^;

These are the kind of posts that just scream for a higher-res video Danny.

I know you're a YouTube guy, but their video quality just doesn't cut it for good stuff like this. Having a YouTube version is fine as a backup, but at least have a link for us to download a better, higher quality version. Maybe a DannyChoo.com bitTorent tracker perhaps?

This is just awesome! Can't wait for more. :]

wow danny! amazing place!
on an unrelated not...i would not have suspected to ever hear danny talk...lol and danny, how do u keep up with remembering english so well? isnt japan mostly filled with japanese speaking people...? or are there alot of people who had learned english? i wounder this because i find japan so fascinating, and was planing to eventually visit there ^_^ and see the great contry that makes gundam XD most exciting =)

Whoa~
Nice video, i got entranced by your voice @_@

Is there a possibility that you'll be releasing this vids in fullsize rather than on YouTube? (sorry if this has been asked before) If not, any reason~?

Very nice video, Danny. Thanks for the wonderful view of one of my favorite company and I also thank GSC for making tihs possible :D

One unrelated topic, Danny's England accent is so cool... Now I see why people love James Bond so much ^^;

Quite a few obligatory 'mmm's you made there :D

Can't wait to see how many you do if you pick eroge for episode 4

Mikatan kawaii desu ne!!!
Danny you did it pretty well I think. And I didn't have any trouble watching the video. My connection runs around 50 Mbps. Great video can't wait for the next one.

Love Videos, keep posting more of this tipe of videos, cant wait to see next one tomorrow

Thank you Danny. Video is a great addition to your website !

I am looking forward for the next episodes !

Nice Job Danny! Keep the vids coming! I did cry when I heard Needa might be a bit late... but can't wait for the next video tour!

I really enjoyed the video danny, you seem to have a really cheeky voice, and like you remarked it must be hard to get any work done being surrounded by figures (all those eyes watching you...)
Roll on part two!!
Maybe you could try and break your record each episode by saying as many innuendos as possible ;)

I agree with the latest comment, you have a very cheeky voice danny.^^

Great commentary. =]

Loved it danny! Can't wait for more!

I'm on a terrible 256k wireless connection, the video took a good 10 minutes to finish buffing, but it wasn't a problem to watch though after that.

hahaha! awesome
loved the vid

loved it when every time you'd pickup a figure or take a good look at fig you'd take a really long "mmmmmm"
sounds like you're at a buffet...but not everyone's invited...T_T

haha anyway, thanks for the vid Danny!

Nice tour danny! This is what we're waiting for... Can't wait for the next one... :D I wish I could go there too.. :P

Do the employees get a discount on their figures? (Or even for free!?) This 3D pen thing is amazing I would love to have one of these combined with the 3D printer...

I wish I could play with that 3D modeling machine and pen-computer interface!! And you kept emphasizing on the eyes -.-", and even explained it to them. I lol-ed at the explanation. Seems like you're really into eyes. Can't wait to see more insights to the offices!

The 3D pen thing was amazing. And couldn't stop laughing when Danny was explaining the meaning of "eyes" to Mikatan. Awesome video!

Cool, you went on a tour to heaven and film some videos. The 'mmmmmmm' 'mmm' while she's talking at the end of the vid are hillarious!

Thanks for the great tour Danny and me waiting for the tours on animation studios!

J.C Staff, Kyoto animation, Gainax, Sunrise, I would love to see them all! ^^

It's so cute whenever Danny goes "mmmm" at the figures. XD Can't wait for the next episode.

This was fantastic! Although I am not heavily into figures I did find the video very interesting. Now I can't wait for episode 2. Keep up the great work!

Great Vid! Surprised you've managed to hold onto the delightfully British accent so long :)

ミカタン可愛いなー lol

that 3d pen thing is amazing. I'd totally get into digital artistry just to play around with that thing haha. It reminds me of that one force feedback 3d controller/mouse thing that some company is making for games. Saw it a long while ago and dunno what's goin on with it now though.

次回の分を楽しみにする！

goodies goodies ^^ Nice video. Cant wait for more.

Wow thanks Danny for that little tour of Good Smile Company got to see how the whole figure business process is like.

Hay, nice to finally meet you Danny! :D
Great vid, make more of those!

THIS IS AWESOME! This has got to be the greatest post ever on dannychoo.com.

danny choo i am very obscenely jealous of you u lucky bastard. getting a tour and all...

Great tour Danny! Can't wait for the second part.

Kinda worries me though...the amount of will power I'll need to build up once I make the move at the end of the year. Its bad enough keeping the hobby "at a budget" here in the states. I don't want to think about actually been right there WITH the hobby, heh.

That 3D machine is wild. Had never seen, or thought there was something like that (with the pressure feedback and all). Really cool!

love the video, damn danny, he get to touch the nendoroid miku. waiting for her to arrive at my home

me want nendoroid miku...

Danny, you TOTALLY still have your British accent even if you don't think so. These videos should be good practice for Germany. Not to worry, your english is very proper.

agreed with FatB about your accent! :P

why is everybody talking about danny's accent? everyone have one. ('~')

anyway me want more pics of mikatan. oh my... is this what they call love? ('~')

This has been truly a pleasure to view.
Thanks a ton for giving us the tour Danny!

Talk about a dream job in figure design. Shame I don't know a lot of Japanese, because I'd kill to work at GSC!

Great coverage!!
I laughed when seeing the Manabi Straight figure, she really wants to be set free, but even more when you tried to corrupt the mind of this poor lady.
"Eyes, eyes... repeat after me... eyes. Yoko pai!". ^^

Nice to see such office.
Bit too much eye talk though.
I too like that 3D input device.

Wa! You have a British accent? :X

Bring us more stuff like this Danny. Great job.

Wow....nice tour, i do hope i can visit there sometimes.....^^, loved all the nendoroids...can't wait for my Melissa, Miku and Moetan nendoroids....all coming soon!

Awesome tour! That 3-D Pen thing was crazy! Yeah like you said, if I worked there, I probably won't get any work done while playing with the figures all day...xD

I guess I didn't think of the accent, so used to hearing people of different cultures, I just wish I knew more Japanese... will learn, very soon!:D... Quick question for you Danny, where can a person like me acquire those posters? I was like "OMG! *Drool*!"
And had no troubles viewing the video, very good work on the video btw, very informative, I look forward to the next episode!:D And as far as eye talk, yes, there was quite a bit, but I didn't mind, i'm used to that type of talk.:P

cute Miku chibi desu!
