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.

    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.
