April 24th, Saturday, marked a pivotal day for Tokyo Animation Studios in Elffire City. The studio's head director, Ryoko, had convened a meeting with the marketing department to discuss an intriguing proposal from the Chrome Channel. The goal was clear: to elevate the popularity of the SAO anime to the elusive "S-class" status. An S-class anime, as defined by Chrome Channel, was one that rivaled the productions of the industry's heavyweights.
And as the Head Director of the studio, Ryoko had to take care of things like this.
"I'm sure everyone here has read the Chrome Channel's proposal about partnering to increase the SAO anime's popularity to reach what they call an S-class anime. According to them, an S-class anime is as famous as animes from the big studios." Ryoko started the reunion like this.
Ally Riddle, the Marketing Department Head, replied, "Yes, boss. I read the Chrome Channel's proposal, and I have a few ideas."
"Feel free to speak," Ryoko said calmly.
