The editor-in-chief of "NewType" recommended it in October

Now, the pace of the new round in the fall of 2014 is getting closer and closer. More than 30 TV anime will be broadcast in this season. Then I believe that this amount alone is enough to be prohibitive. To this end, some Japanese media recently interviewed Hiroshi Mizuno, the editor-in-chief of the animation magazine "NewType" published by KADOKAWA Co., Ltd., and Shinya Kurose, who is the editor of the compilation department, to see what works they recommend!

■Director Tomino is terrifying!

Q: What are the works worth paying attention to in this autumn new episode?

Mizuno: First of all, there are three works that should be supported by a large audience. These works may also be regarded as the natal works of this season.

"Gundam G Restoration Movement"

"The Dance of Angels and Dragons"

《Fate/staynight》

"Gundam G Restoration Movement" is a new work in the Gundam series, and it is also a work in which director Yuki Tomino directly participated in the production and showed his personal skills. As a result, it has received quite a high level of attention.

Kurose: Director Tomino is amazing. Even though I'm over 70 years old, I still write my own scripts and draw storyboards. People over 70 years old are still challenging the live production of TV series, and I'm afraid there will never be a second person besides Director Tomino, right?

Q: The staff will be nervous, too.

Kurose: I think so. But isn't it also a valuable experience for young producers to be trained by director Tomino?

Q: What do you think is so powerful about director Tomino?

Mizuno: There are a lot of aspects, but I think he's great at using his lines. To this day, many lines from the original Gundam are still quoted repeatedly. It should be said that these lines have been remembered by the times. It's amazing to be able to create lines that make a unique impression.

Kurose: This is also the first time he has served as a director in many years, so you should definitely check it out. It would be better if the work could gain popularity.

■ The strongest combination of SUNRISE and King Records!

Q: So what is there about "The Wheel Dance of Angels and Dragons"?

Mizuno: In any case, the structure of the work is very original. As the leader of machine qì animation, SUNRISE's strong alliance with King Records this time is definitely worth paying attention to. As for King Records, popular voice actors such as Nana Mizuki, Yukari Tamura, Yui Horie, and Hideri Kitamura, who are active on the table, also gather here.

Kurose: It's a work not to be missed for voice actors. Therefore, it has attracted a lot of attention before the work is broadcast. Since the combination of this work gives people the feeling of "there is no reason not to be popular", the people who make it may also feel some pressure.

■ "Fate" is undisputed!

Q: So what do you two think of Fate/staynight?

Mizuno: The Fate series really has too many fans, and since it's a new work, it's definitely going to be a lot of attention. And we at "NewType" are also expected to prepare many collaborative projects.

■Others

Q: Are there any other works worth noting?

Kurose: "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "The Tooth Wolf (GARO"-The Mark of Fire-). These two works are also worth paying attention to. Among them, the TV anime, which is based on the original popular manga "The Seven Deadly Sins", also contains the expectations of many people. And there are a lot of fans of the work, so you can expect a good result.

As for "Tooth Wolf (GARO)", not many people may know about it, but this work was originally a special effects drama. And this is the first time it has been animated. Therefore, judging from the title, it is a little different from other works. However, there are some avid fans of the work, so how will it be animated? It's also worth everyone's enjoyment.

■ Noitamina anime will be very inclusive!?

Kurose: Fuji TV's late-night anime program "Noitamina" will be airing "April Is Your Lies" and "Psychometrician" Season 2. I hope that this will also get everyone's attention.

Q: It seems that there are a lot of people looking at noitamina's works.

Kurose: That's right. Noitamina's anime is a series that people who don't usually watch anime can watch it. Starting from "Honey and Clover", to later "Symphonic ** Dream", "Moe Fungus Story", etc., many works adapted from popular comics in this column have been well received. I think the purpose of the show is to appeal to a wider audience.

Q: So what kind of work does April Be Your Lie belong to?

Kurose: This is based on the manga of the same name serialized in Monthly Shonen Magazine. The protagonist is a pianist in junior high school. The work depicts his growth in a lyrical way.

Q: I think it fits the style of the noitamina system. It can be seen that the makers are also very discerning when choosing works.

Kurose: I don't think that's right. Although there are different types of works in this section, it is this diversity that reflects the characteristics of the noitamina system in a broad sense.

■This season's anime is characterized by "reliable!? ”

Q: What are the characteristics of this year's new anime?

Mizuno: In addition to the ones introduced above, there are many other works that are not explained. But I think for fans of various works, many of the animations in this autumn are "reliable".

Kurose: Nowadays, anime fans have also been refined, so many works are tailored to different groups of people. And to capture the hearts of fans in different fields, this is also a kind of success from a commercial point of view, right?

Mizuno: In that sense, the works in this season are all anime that ensure "fun".

Q: Thank you both for your comments. Anime fans, before watching this autumn, please take a good look at the opinions of the two veterans! Of course, it is also true that it is difficult to reconcile the opinions. So what is the new autumn work you recommend?
