Director Yuki Tomino, who is known as the "Father of Gundam" for his Mobile Suit Gundam series, has recently released a new Gundam anime series, Gundam G: Restoration Movement, for the first time in 15 years. This work has aired 9 episodes so far, and the 10th episode of the anime will be released in the near future. What is striking is that the performance of this episode was handled by Tetsuro Araki. And he is also the director of the TV animation "Attack on Titan", which became popular all over the world in 2013.

Araki is also a huge fan of director Tomino, and he also participated in the production of this work in the form of "direct request". I'm sure many people know that director Tomino is known for his poisonous tongue, but when it comes to Tetsuro Araki, he is full of praise for the work of this junior: "The animation industry will start a new era centered on Araki." Recently, some Japanese media have also paid attention to the "luxury collaboration" between animation giants & new stars in the industry.

◇You can fully affirm the younger generation!

As a fan of director Tomino, Araki was "very excited" when he heard that he was going to produce a new work this time, and he also said, "As a fan of Mr. Tomino, I hope that I can be on the stage of Tomino's work." I think it's a good opportunity. Then I took the initiative to recommend myself to Director Tomino. And Director Tomino readily agreed, replying, "For the kind of people who say, 'Let me do it!'" Let him do it! ”

Director Tomino said of the anime "Attack on Titan", "I watched the first episode". And he praised, "Compared to those mediocre performers, Mr. Araki's work is very comfortable to watch." He captured the worldview. This man worked hard. I was very happy to think: there is no need to completely deny the younger generation, it should be completely affirmed! I'm definitely not going to be the director of Attack on Titan, but even if I were in charge of it, I wouldn't be able to do that. ”

◇ Those harsh words, "I won't say it to a mediocre performer"

Araki was able to work with the "great master" as he wished, but the process was not all smooth sailing. When he was drawing the storyboard, he handed the finished storyboard to Director Tomino, but he was sent back more than 100 shots by the other party. In the commentary, director Tomino wrote very sternly, "I vomited" and "I hope you can understand what the plot of the show is", looking back on that time, Araki said, "I was very stimulated. ”

However, director Tomino once said, "I never criticize mediocre performers," so these comments can also be said to express his expectations for Araki.

And these harsh words also made Araki a treasure, he said, "I framed Director Tomino's words directly on my desk. ”

Even director Tomino strongly praised, "The animation industry will usher in a new era centered on Araki." This is not flattery. And he also encouraged the other party: "Although it is a huge animation, it is also part of the culture. I hope you don't make zuò indiscriminately. ”

On the other hand, director Tomino also commented harshly on himself: "At this age, it doesn't matter if I show myself to young people." For people like me, there's no other way than to learn. I'm ordinary. If I had the talent, I might have been able to produce a work like Ghibli. ”

◇Is it difficult for children to understand?

Even before the launch of "Gundam G: Restoration Campaign", director Tomino said in interviews many times, "This is a project to bring the anime that has become adult back to children" and "I want children to see this work." ”

And after the animation started, the audience expressed "I don't understand." Because we don't have time to look at it. If you do, you won't be able to do your job. Another person said, "There are some parts of this that are difficult for children to understand." It might be more touching if they watched it again when they grew up......"

When director Tomino chatted with Araki, he repeatedly emphasized, "You can only do it if you study." You can only broaden your horizons." This sentence is ostensibly addressed to Araki, but it also seems to be a wake-up call to himself.

In addition, director Tomino has a stern evaluation of the animation industry: "When I returned to the studio after more than 10 years, I felt that although there are people with extraordinary talents here, their practices cannot expand the world. And since he has given such a high evaluation to Araki this time, this "luxurious cooperation" will definitely be worth paying attention to. In addition, it remains to be seen what surprises the "evolutionary giants" will bring us in the future.

The power of the new house Zhao supports "Lucky Belly Graffiti"! I hope to publish a sequel

"Yukiya Graffiti", which will be broadcast in January next year, has attracted much attention due to the invitation of the production zuò lineup led by Akiyuki Shinbo and Okada Mori, as well as the joining of well-known voice actors such as Rina Sato and Asuka Okame. And SHAFT's high quality rate is also a reason why all parties are optimistic about this work. Recently, Shinfang Zhaozhi said in an interview: I hope this work can continue to launch a sequel like "Sketch of the Sun".

"Hopefully, this work can really be very long. It's not just about animating it this time, but I hope to continue to have a second and third season. Besides, the original work has not yet had a clear end, and I would be very happy if it could last as long as the "Sketch of the Sun" series. ”

Regarding his statement, many Japanese netizens also commented: "Isn't this a new house that said that "Monogatari" is not finished and the animation has been filmed. It seems that there is a play. "Before the end of the animation of "Sketch of the Sun", fortunately, Kana Acheng did not announce her marriage, otherwise God knows what it would become." "Can it really sell to the point of a sequel? That's what "Pseudo-Love" is all about, right? However, for fans of the original work, the words of the new house may also give them more confidence.

In "Lucky Belly Graffiti", the heroine Ryo Machiko is a girl in the second grade of junior high school, because her parents are abroad, she and her grandmother depend on each other. However, after her grandmother passed away, she had to start living independently, and at this time she realized how poor her cooking skills were, and regretted that she had not honed her skills properly. And when Kirin Morino, a girl who lives in her house, appears, she is determined to learn how to cook in order to become a good bride......

Fun for you! Kisho Taniyama responds to the "Amamiya Sky Incident"

Previously, Tencent Animation reported that the well-known voice actor Taniyama Kisho published a tweet message of "Amamiya is so cool", although this tweet was quickly deleted, it still aroused the YY of netizens. Recently, Taniyama Kisho posted a tweet again, explaining: "Cool" is just the show he wants to be on.

"It looks like I'm going to play GRANRODIO live on November 25th. I guess you can sing...... right? FLOW is a great band. I always feel like I should be thankful. ”

However, for this tweet, netizens felt quite suspicious of wanting to cover it up. "Mean, the one before was just hype?" "I understand the meaning of cool, but what the hell is Amamiya Ten?" "How can you make Amamiya embarrassed?" "If it has nothing to do with Amamiya Tian, just explain it, vaguely, you will be suspected for the rest of your life!" And so far, another "party", Amamiya Dafa, has not made any comment. As for whether there is a follow-up to this incident, let's stay tuned.

National Animation! "Monster Watch" landed in the Red and White Song Battle

Recently, the annual popular program "The 65th NHK Red and White Song Battle" announced the latest battle songs. It is very popular among children, and the opening and ending song of the game/animation work "Yokai Watch", which is known as a "social phenomenon", is confirmed to appear. In addition, characters such as the mascot Ji Bameow in the work are also scheduled to appear on the stage in the form of leather cases, which is a national treasure treatment that even the "Pokemon" mascot Pikachu has not enjoyed.

The band groups will be "Dream5" and "キング?クリームソーダ", and "Dream5" will present the opening song of the anime "Matsuri 囃子でゲラゲラポー/初爱峠でゲラゲラポー", while "キング?クリームソーダ" will present the ending song ED1 "ようかい Gymnastics No. 1" and ED2 "ダン?ダンドゥビ?ズバー! 》。 Three songs in one work appear at the same time, which is really rare in the history of red and white songs, and it deserves to be a super national game.

In addition, another Disney animation "Frozen", which is popular in Japan this year, is also scheduled to participate in the war, and the original singer of the world-leading drama episode "LetItGo" will be broadcast live on New York City, and singer May J., who is responsible for the ending song of the Japanese version, will be in person.

Not satisfied? Producer's self-review of "The Wheel Dance of Angels and Dragons"

Since the launch of SUNRISE's original work "CROSSANGE Angel and Dragon Wheel Dance", Fukuda has not stopped salivaing on Twitter, who is the creative producer of this work. Last week, the eighth episode was broadcast, and he also commented on it, reflecting his "dissatisfaction" with the plot being too stable.

"I've watched the eighth episode. In every sense, it feels like this script is going wrong. The setting is everyday, and although the ideas of each character are expressed, it still feels a little shrunken compared to the stimulating effect in episodes 1~3. However, from episode 9 onwards, the plot will become heavy again, and it should return to the original script......"
