Details of the release of "Overlord".

In the new episode in July, a work called "Overlord" has attracted a lot of attention. The theme of online games + cross-worldly travel has also become the focus of heated discussions. Recently, some Japanese media reported the details of the release of this work.

This work mainly tells the story of the future era, a VRMMORPG "YGGDRASIL" that has set off a big craze, originally announced that it would be discontinued, but even after the specified time, players could not quit the game, and the NPCs also had their own thoughts and came to life. Satoru Suzuki (real name), the protagonist of the real world who loves video games, inexplicably travels to another world with the members of the "Ainz Ul Kyo" guild while waiting for the system to be forced to log out, and he also becomes the strongest magician with the appearance of a skeleton - "Flying Squirrel". And just like that, the real fantasy legend officially begins!

During the screening event, Satoshi Hino, Yumi Hara, Sumire Uesaka, and director Naoki Ito appeared one after another to interact with fans at the scene.

●The voice actor lineup and the director talk about the highlights of TV anime

As soon as the event began, people in the audience began to cheer "Flying Squirrel!" Immediately, Satoshi Hino (Flying Squirrel Service) and Yumi Hara (Yarbede Service) appeared in front of everyone. When talking about the highlights of the first episode, Hino said, "How did the flying squirrel switch between his identity in the game and his real identity, Satoru Suzuki? I hope you will pay attention to it. Yuan Yumi said, "In the past, you may have had the impression that it was just a written description, but once you look at the work, you can feel the world view of the work." In addition, Heiluo Heiluo, who appeared in the first episode and is an office worker like Satoru Suzuki in reality, is also worthy of everyone's attention.

After the first episode was shown live, it was accompanied by "My Beloved Sovereign. subordinates appear in front of you now", Sumire Uesaka (Shatia Bradfren) also made an appearance. Due to the effect of the huge screen of the movie theater, her appearance is also very impactful. When it comes to the work, Uesaka also thinks that the setting is very unique. Subsequently, Nao Ito, who was the director, appeared on the stage, and everyone's enthusiasm for discussing the work increased. However, he focused on the image table.

In TV anime, a lot of CG is used to express xiàn action scenes, and when they were making zuò, they used to discuss the topic of "whether it is feasible to use CG to make the protagonist zuò". When the other characters are all hand-drawn, only the protagonist is CG, it is not very easy to make the effect perfect, so it is still decided to use hand-drawn to represent xiàn flying squirrel. There were also a lot of difficulties in the design, but everyone still worked hard to make the zuò.

●The bad state is the highlight!? The persistence of the voice actor when he played the role

During the conversations with the voice actors, they also talked about the highlights of their characters and what they paid attention to during the performance. First of all, Hino cares a lot about how to express the mood of gamer Satoru Suzuki and the majesty of the monarch flying squirrel. For this reason, the sound director also gave a lot of guidance.,So that the protagonist has a different voice when he is in the position of Satoru Suzuki.,And the words in your heart and the words you say also make it clear that they are different.。

And Yumi Hara starred in Jarbede, who has a beautiful appearance and a great figure, and serves as the head of the guardians, and she also told interesting things that happened during the dubbing. Although Albede seems to have no female weaknesses at all, the character's premise slowly begins to crumble as the voice is acted: "I was asked to speak like an orangutan with a cracked mouth" and "I used a deep voice like an uncle". And it shows the characteristics of Yarbed's great emotional fluctuations, but this kind of bad place is also the charm of the character.

As for Sumire Uesaka, who plays Shatia Bradfren, she believes that the role she dubbed is the strongest among the Guardians, and her strength among the Guardians is second only to the fourth-layer Guardian Gao Kangda, but she is so petite in stature, so it gives people a sense of disobedience. In addition, her affection for the flying squirrel is not lost to that of Albede, so maybe she can see the same funny expression as Albede......?

In addition, the dubbing scene was very lively, and Kenta Miyake, who played Cosetes, not only showed the scary side in the impromptu performance, but also added some comedic effects, and the voice actors who did not attend the event on the day also had various anecdotes. Because there are many characters in the work, a large number of voice actors are needed, and some of them are senior voice actors who even finish with only one line, and this "voice actor doesn't need money" approach is also a highlight.

When the topic shifted to "the future plot unfolds", everyone also talked about the next points worth paying attention to. Hino said, "After we got out of Nazarik, the battle plot increased, and from a male point of view, there were many things to watch. And he also talked about the monster named "Mori no Ken King" and wished to have one such pillow. This speech drew laughter from the audience. But he explained that if you watch the plot later, you will definitely resonate with yourself.

Next, Hara also said: As mentioned before, the place where the character slowly collapses is also a highlight. As for the battle plot, she said: "Although there are some shots that make people can't help but close their eyes, only by truly embodying this effect can we tell us what the battle is." ”

And Uesaka said that every time he participated in the dubbing, he felt that "the strongest is really great!" "But after watching the live broadcast, sometimes I feel happy. She is looking forward to the next active performance of the flying squirrel group: "The flying squirrel has absolute power, and the guardians are full of strong people from all walks of life, so in a sense, everyone can watch the work with confidence." ”

●Be able to understand the hard work of flying squirrel adults (?) Guessing session

After the conversation, the event moved on to a quiz called "Absolute Dominator Advent Quiz". In the plot, the protagonist Flying Squirrel is suddenly in a situation of being flattered by his subordinates, so he is distressed about how to deal with his subordinates. He had to think about how to control people's hearts...... And that's how this happens. At the scene, 3 voice actors faced the question and had to study which of the 4 options was the most appropriate words and deeds.

The first question is this: what should I do if I want to make a good job of a "calm employee" who can't finish his work on time and always makes excuses when he makes mistakes. The options are: "A: Teach in a strong tone", "B: Ask in a low voice", "C: Praise and instruct", "D: Deliberately let it go".

This kind of scene setting is a bit unimaginable for the profession of voice actor, but Uesaka, who has always lived a more relaxed life, thinks that the defense of such a member is actually very low, so he chose "C: Praise and guide at the same time". In the end, it turned out to be the correct answer. In this regard, as a representative of this group of people, Uesaka said, "Even if you make your boss angry, you can't suddenly stop going to Uesaka. People like us who are calm will also work hard in our own way! ”

The second question is a complete reversal. Faced with a boss who is late for every appointment and likes to complain, how should I deal with it? The four options are: "A: Encourage your boss to look at the problem positively", "B: Complain there masochistically", "C: Do nothing, ignore", "D: Pretend not to know, say something insignificant".

In this regard, everyone has always thought that the C option is definitely not good, but there are disagreements on several other options. After intense discussions, it was finally changed from D to A. In the end, however, the correct answer was "B: masochistically whining there".

And the last third question is: what should you do if you want to show kindness to someone of the same sex who somehow hates you? The 4 options are: "A: Ask the other person to do something, or ask the other person a question", "B: Slap the other person's ass", "C: Ask yourself directly what offended him", "D: Give a gift to please the other person".

Regarding this problem, Hino first complained and said: "I hate it for no reason, so what else is there to say." This complaint also made the scene laugh for a while. Uesaka says, "I think it's very effective to give gifts and discuss related topics." Hino said, "If you're a man, it's true that there are cases where the relationship gets better after a fight." After negotiation, the final choice was "D: Give a gift to please the other party". However, the correct answer was "A: Go and ask the other party to do something, or ask the other party a question", which surprised the audience.

In the end, everyone unfortunately only answered one question correctly, but in the end, the voice actor still got a special chocolate as a gift, and the session ended smoothly.

●An additional part of the on-the-spot practice of the voice actors

The guessing session was followed by an additional part. This is a "practical chapter" of how voice actors should deal with those scenes similar to those in the previous session.

The first scenario is "The train is about to stop running, but suddenly there is a job that needs to be submitted tomorrow morning and has to be handed over to the subordinates to complete, so how can the other party accept such a sudden work in a happy mood?" For such a difficult question, Hino said, "Add 30% to your summer bonus!" In response, such a foul approach also won the approval of the scene.

And the principle said in a lovely voice: "Good evening, I am your boss." I'll treat you to something delicious tomorrow, so can this job be handed over to you? "It's a definite gastronomic offensive. As for Uesaka, he dressed himself as a drunk boss to win sympathy: "Hey~ Actually, I was so annoyed that I had to secretly drink all the vodka in the company." (laughs)"

After this session, some information was officially released. This includes the broadcast arrangements of each TV station, and the release information of the ninth volume of the original novel. As for music, it was announced that the theme song and ending song of the TV anime will be released on CD on August 26. As for the disc of the TV animation, the first volume will also be released on September 25th.,The first special will include the original author's new novel and sub-audio tracks, etc.,And if you pre-order in advance, you can also get a transparent text jiàn folder drawn by so-bin.。

In addition, the web broadcasting site "Otosen" has also launched a radio program "オーバーロード~至高のラジオに忠誠の儀を~" on every semi-monthly Monday from July 6, and the hosts are Eimiri Kato and Yumi Uchiyama, who starred in the twins. And the official website also prepares a mini-game for fans, and netizens with the top final results will also get luxurious gifts.

After the announcement, a lottery was held for the voice actors' autographed posters, and everyone talked about their ambitions for the TV anime, and the whole event came to an end in anticipation.
