First of all, two digressions, the articles in this C3HK214 are all written in the chronological order of the activities, so if you have paid attention to the C3 activity arrangement, you may feel that it is not your turn? But it's a pity that only U's event was not photographed or interviewed. So after the interview supervised by Komatsu Mikako and Tatsuo Sato, which was mentioned in the previous article, the surrounding area of the stage was already surrounded by fans, and we were able to stand on the onlookers and basically couldn't even see the figure of U's. Lovelive's current popularity can only be described as terrifying, and the limited merchandise at the venue was sold out quickly, and the wota art during the performance shook the entire Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center. Putting aside the depressing topic of not seeing u's, let's take a look at the activities and interviews of Shintaro Asama and Endo on the third day of C3.

The first guest event on the third day of C3 was the promotional event of "Diamond Ace" attended by Shintaro Asumuma and Tsukashi Endo. Shintaro Asanuma is a very familiar guest to the Japanese Society, having been interviewed by us in different formats last year and this year in Hong Kong, as well as in the magic capital before. And Miss Endo, as a voice actor who has just debuted but has great potential, also received a lot of attention at this event. First, let's take a look at the interview

1. The character voiced by Miss Endo has a natural personality, is there any similarity between her personality and the role?

Endo: I myself fall a lot, and it's no longer a natural stay, and I often fail, and I fall when I walk. Haruno is the manager of the baseball club, and Haruno is my debut character, she is positive and forward, and her mood is similar to mine.

2. Have you ever played baseball? How to grasp the role?

Asanuma: No. But I've seen a baseball game. I used to cosplay when I was a student, what a team, the masked superman. I also worked part-time in action movies and fights. Among them, there is a senior who likes to make fun of the juniors, because it is the relationship of the sports department, he will hit people at every turn, and I imagined the mood at that time to deduce.

3. Asanuma has written a script, if there is a chance, what kind of plot will be added to "Diamond Ace"?

Asanuma: Let's talk about something other than the game. For example, the scenario of a manager is not the daily life of a boarding student's day student.

4. "Diamond Ace" once held an event at the baseball stadium, how do you feel?

Asanuma: The baseball stadium is a place where baseball teenagers play seriously, and I feel embarrassed, but it's fun, and I'm envious. If I had loved baseball before, I would have been even more excited.

Endo: I don't have very good motor nerves myself, but my father would take me to baseball games. I'm very happy to be able to play the role of a manager. I was even happier to be able to stand on the baseball field. This is something I never imagined, and I am really happy. Also, the baseball stadium is a big place that can be used for activities, and I'm happy to see how popular Ace of Diamonds is.

5. "Diamond Ace" is a very passionate animation, is there anything in real life that the two of you are passionate about? Hobbies and hobbies?

Asanuma: We've also acted in card game animations, and after watching them, we want to play cards. If you appear in an anime with a certain content, you will unconsciously pay attention to that information and want to know more.

Endo: I like to play games a lot, card games, mobile games, online games, and so on. If you want to do something after watching it, I've always loved watching anime, and I thought if I could try fighting with magic or something......

Asanuma: That's not a hobby at all, but if it's a hobby that uses magic, that's a great deal.

6. Do you prefer to play funny characters or more serious roles?

Asanuma: I like both. If you are a funny character, you have to make everyone who performs with you laugh, and you have a sense of mission. Other characters, if they are completely opposite to their own personalities, because they are different from usual, they are also more fun to do, for example, villains, characters who are a little cool, are different from their usual self. It's worth acting, it's fun.

The next introduction is the stage part, as mentioned earlier, the work of the two guests in Hong Kong this time is to promote and promote the animation of Diamond Ace, so the two guests appeared in the costumes of the two characters in Diamond Ace, which really caused a lot of cheers from the audience, and then began the interview session. In the interview, the host asked Asuma what he thought of Endo's mother.,And Asanuma unexpectedly said that he felt like his daughter.,And when asked why he thought so, Asanuma said that it was because he was two years older than ゆりか's mother.。 (From this, it can be inferred that the mother of ゆりか was about 20 years old when she gave birth to ゆりか...... Then ゆりか said that in fact, Asanuma is more like a mother, attracting the audience to call "Asanuma mother". And Asanuma is not a genius in the spitting world, and instantly began to complain mode, shouting: "When I was in Shanghai, everyone called me brother!" The audience burst into laughter.

After that, the topic has been entangled in the question of whether Asuma is a father or a mother at the same time.,In the middle of the play of ゆりか in the diamond ace when the PV appeared,There was also a signed version of the lottery.,Finally,When the event is nearing the end,,Asanoma took the initiative to ask for a pose of pitching in baseball as the end.,And of course ゆりか can't be left behind.,So the two performed the handsome version and the sports idiot version of the pitching respectively.。 Finally, the event came to an end with the humorous performance of the two guests.

The director of "Mobile Police" talks about the work of the machine

The live-action film "THENEX**ENERATION-Mobile Police" has been officially released on April 5, and this work will also open a new chapter for the "Mobile Police" series. Recently, some Japanese media interviewed Mamoru Oshii, the chief director in charge of the live-action version of the new work "Mobile Police", known as a genius, and learned about the film from his mouth, as well as his thoughts on the works of the machine.

■ Start from the viewpoint of "you don't need a huge machine qì person"!

Q: First of all, let's ask a straight question! Why did you want to make a live-action version of zuò this time?

Oshii: At the end of the second theatrical anime (Mobile Police 2theMovie, which was released in 1993), I thought that if I had to make Zuò myself, I would have to make a live-action version. So when the relevant people came to me and asked me if I wanted to make a live-action version, I agreed without hesitation.

However, as a price for agreeing, I also put forward some conditions. For example, the stage of the work is set in the modern era after the second class of special cars entered the era of the third generation, and the mobile police of zuò is 1:1 in size, and so on. Especially for the second condition, the maker almost cried and begged me, "Do you have to do this anyway!?" And I replied simply: "If you can't be a mobile police officer of your size, I won't be the director of this film." (laughs)

Q: When you see the completion of the life-size product, you are very moved, right?

Oshii: I think the entire height of the Type 98 is about 8 meters, which is the maximum size that can be moved in reality. If it's higher, it won't be able to express it in reality. But when I saw the real thing, I unsurprisingly felt a kind of oppressive force. Of course, the design is basically based on the style of the anime version of Koyu (Yu Debuchi, who is in charge of mecha design). Although I hate the 98 style myself, I wonder if I don't overturn it all and redo it, but if I can leave a little bit of the shadow of the previous anime version, then I think longtime fans of the work will be happy.

Q: Don't you hate Type 98!?

Oshii: If you ask me if I like Type 98, then I definitely don't like it. Of course, because of that machine, the series of this work can maintain a high level of popularity all year round. However, I don't have anything in particular to comment on that.

Q: You've been making negative remarks one after another!

Oshii: After all, although this work has gone through 25 years of history, when we first made the work "Mobile Police", we hid the title "It is impossible for a huge machine to walk with two feet, and there is no way to have an active table".

Q: Oops! Do you want to say "mobile police are not necessary"? But in both the manga version and the TV anime version, aren't the mobile police active on various stages and showing extremely dazzling abilities?

Oshii: So, during the period when I wasn't involved in the work, I don't know when it became like this. But to be honest, from the very beginning, I thought that the mobile police were a "useless thing", and that bringing them to the scene of an incident would cause traffic jams and headaches. In addition, the use of weapons such as revolvers at the scene of the incident did not play a role in solving the problem at all, and we made "Mobile Police" based on this premise...... But when I came back to my senses, I found that it had become a very ordinary hero of the machine.

Q: In other words, the mobile police were actually created out of the motive of opposing the heroic theme of the machine!

Oshii: So, this live-action version is actually a way to go back to the basics. A huge machine that walks with two feet or something, it's just some useless thing, who would make such a thing...... This time, the story begins with this setting.

Q: Speaking of which, in "Anecdote 0", the squad leader of the maintenance squad once talked about the uselessness of mobile police.

Oshii: After all, the machine is supposed to be unmanned, so there's no point in letting the driver sit on it! Seriously, there's no need for people to have their faces and feet. But the Japanese like the kind of trick that makes people sit in the machine and fight against each other. However, this obviously problematic setting was actually put into actual combat by the Metropolitan Police Department in the "Mobile Police" series. Therefore, if we do not take these issues into account and make a rigorous setting, the work will not be authentic at all.

Q: But, but...... There's no way a man would hate a machine!

Oshii: If I had to be honest, I also like Jiqìren (laughs). The two-footed walking posture of a man carrying his prey is fascinated by any man.

■The ridiculous plot and the story of Yan Sù will be the highlight of this film

Q: By the way, Griffon (the jet-black enemy unit that appeared in the manga and anime versions) will also appear in the live-action series! Would it?

Oshii: Hmm~ That kind of thing is naturally obvious, and it's impossible not to play...... Well, when I saw the life-size 98 with my own eyes, I came to the conclusion that it was impossible for the mobile police to move as handsomely as in the anime series and fight each other. I'm not the only one who can come to this conclusion, and anyone who sees a finished product of equal size will think so. It is absolutely impossible for such a large machine to fight against each other in reality.

Q: In other words, it was rumored that it cost tens of millions of yen to produce the two mobile police officers that were the size of the body, and the cost of the entire series was as high as 2.2 billion yen.

Oshii: When we were making the zuò animation, we were able to do it in terms of design without thinking about realism. But when you make a real body, you naturally think, "You can't cheat, this!!" "We have to think carefully about every detail and adjust the balance of the body. In this way, the final product can only be about 8 meters high. And if there really are actual mobile police, then how many people are needed to prepare this machine? In order to provide food for the maintenance team, do I have to say hello to the convenience store in advance? These extremely everyday parts are also valued by us in this live-action version. Because this is a world where things that were not real become taken for granted, if you don't depict these everyday parts well, you won't be able to be convincing and interesting. Everywhere in the work, you can see the scenes of the characters eating, and this is absolutely indispensable in daily life.

Q: Although you have been saying that Mobile Police are useless big men, from your speech, you still feel a strong love for Mobile Police!

Oshii: After all, it made me think more than once, "What the hell, the ghost is going to do the second part!" Therefore, it can only be said that it is a love-hate relationship. At first, I was just forced by life to do the work, and I didn't think that I could have such a long life. But think about it, the mobile police is also the "best feeding me" series. Because of all the works I've made, this is probably the one that sponsors are most willing to spend money on (laughs). Hawkers,This live-action series is a work that has not been seen in the history of Japanese TV movies before.,It's also very different from tokusatsu dramas and the like.。 At the end of the day, this is not for children, so I am very conceited that the live-action version of Mobile Police will be full of authenticity and will be interesting for adults to watch.

Q: In the first chapter, the daily life of the second class of the special car is described in a comedic way, which is quite surprising! In the past, when it came to director Oshii's works, everyone generally found them very difficult to understand, and they were full of Yan Sù's style.

Oshii: I think there are a lot of people who think so. But at the end of the day, my debut as a director was a ridiculous comedy, and I personally love this genre.

Q: So this live-action version, on the whole, is a light taste that can make the audience happy to watch?

Oshii: No, that's not what I meant. In the previous exclusive event, there were funny clips that depicted people's joys and sorrows, action scenes of mobile police battles, and plots that pursued entertainment and made the audience addicted. It looks like the style is still relatively relaxed. It's just that the full-length theatrical version scheduled to be released next year will deviate from this style, and it gives people a deep feeling from the title. I'm going to make a work that makes people feel heavy.

Q: This contrast is really surprising!

Oshii: The merit of Mobile Police is that it is a comedy that depicts everyday life, and on the other hand, it also includes some sinotropic content that is likely to occur in modern Japanese society, such as a "coup d'état". These are the highlights of the work. And the amount of content we've covered in these two areas will form the main features of this live-action series.

Q: Finally, please tell us more about your work.

Oshii: I think this work has put a lot of effort into the amount of work and the cost of production, and it makes me feel like I'm messed up in every sense (laughs). But in terms of the work itself, there is no doubt that this is still a masterpiece.

"Infinite Stratos" is animated three times

The school's battle romance comedy "IS "InfiniteStratos" (Infinite Stratos) is a popular light novel written by Bowstring, the series has sold 1.35 million copies, and was first animated in early 2011 to great acclaim.

NICONICO'S NEW VISITOR SATISFACTION RANKING IN APRIL

Now, in April, the new episode has basically met with the audience. I wonder if there are any works that everyone loves very much? Recently, NICONICO, a well-known Japanese anime-related website, announced the satisfaction ranking of the first episode of the new episode in April, among which the three works with the highest satisfaction are "Insect Master Sequel", "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure Part 3 Stardust Fighter" and "LoveLive! Season 2". It can be said that the biggest feature of the works that have won the high ranking is that they are all sequel series. On the other hand, the bottom three titles are "The Devil's Mystery", "Mischief of the Gods", and "The Interpreter of the Hidden City".

"The Continuation of the Insect Master", which ranks first and has a satisfaction rate of 95.8%, can be said to be the work that many fans have been waiting for for a long time. In the previous first installment, the fantasy style and cleverly conceived character settings attracted a large audience, so many fans considered "Bugger" to be one of the best works of the first decade of the 21st century. The broadcast of the second season is still highly praised, which shows the extremely high standard of the work.

In second place, "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3 Stardust Fighter", as one of the most famous works in the "JOJO" series, has been highly anticipated since the announcement of its animation. This third part basically follows the lineup of the previous animation, and the protagonist Jotaro Kujo is voiced by the well-known voice actor Daisuke Ono, which also adds a lot of "handsome" elements to this unique painting style work. The satisfaction rate for this work is 92.2%.

And "LoveLive! Season 2" deserves to be in the top three this time. This is ridiculed by domestic fans as "love life", "King Guo dominates the world" of campus idol theme works, at present, related video products are among the best on the major pre-sale lists, this time the work has received a high support rate of 91.8%, and the future development of animation is also worth everyone's attention.

In addition to the above highly-rated works,There are also several animations that are worth paying attention to in the new 4month.。 One of them is "The Inferior Student of the Magic Science High School", which has a reputation for various masterpieces, and this work produced by MADHOUSE zuò and gathers popular voice actors including Yuichi Nakamura and Saori Hayami only received 62.1% praise in the broadcast of the first episode, which can only be said to have not met previous expectations. As an animated version of "Yangyan Project", the praise of "The Interpreter of the Hidden City" this time only reached 31.1%, which is really surprising. After all, the base camp of the Yang Yan series is NICONICO, and in the animated version, the founder of the series, Enemy of Nature, P, also participated in the whole process, so it is said that the style of the work should be guaranteed. But after all, the new episode in April has just begun.,The first episode of the bad reviews is overwhelming.,In the end, there are not a few animations that are hailed as masterpieces.。 Therefore, whether these new episodes will turn over in the future, Tencent Animation will continue to pay attention.

The Witch's Mission

Although at the end of the story, Xiao Qian used his magic to save a qiē and re-concluded a contract with Huohuo, and the two returned to the daily school life of walking together. seems to have a happy ending, but it still has a lot of foreshadowing, such as the memories of the past in the fire and the fire that make us most entangled, what is forgotten? What is the white princess? However, the most important thing is the relationship between Xiaohuo and Qianqian, come to the second season after a long time!

Who is the first place in hell, and it is the king to go down to the people to torture and abuse everywhere~ I really want to see the ghost lamp SAMA and Bai Ze become children together, kneel and beg for the second season of hell daily!

Unconfirmed Progressive Tense

The scene in the last episode where Bai Ye stood with Xiaohong in his arms couldn't have been better. The emotional line of the two people in the whole animation doesn't seem to be very hot, and Bai Ye's taciturn and Xiaohong's shy and low-key make us so anxious. However, Xiaohong is becoming more and more conscious of being a fiancée, and she starts to be jealous, and gradually she doesn't want to be separated from Bai Ye, and finally goes to find them by herself~ It really surprised the couples!

In that scene, Xiaohong asked in a disciplining tone that she would tell herself for everything in the future.

Inari can't see Uga anymore, but fortunately, Nissan can accompany Uga as always. Alas, I really want to see the brother line continue to develop, and I want to see all kinds of love subplots of our little Yuga and Nissan, come to the second season~
