What is shuusei?


Shuusei is the term for pre-production 'clean up' sketches. Basically, they are the step between the genga and the douga, where the sankuga kantoku, animation correction director/supervisor, goes through and makes change suggestions to the genga such that it matches the art design of the series better. Often times these are partial (if the correction is just drawing the nose differently, sometimes it will just be a nose, some prefer to redraw the entire image for context, sometimes a full redraw touch-up is needed etc) and often they appear on colored paper. Each studio handles these differently though, so there's no one set way of telling.
