An immortal century-old legend! Interview with the editor in charge of "Attack on Titan".

Currently, the theatrical version of "Attack on Titan Part 1 ~Red Lotus's Bow and Arrow~", which is based on the first 13 episodes of the TV anime, is currently being screened nationwide. According to the latest official news, the number of venues for the screening of this work will be expanded to 100. In this regard, Shintaro Kawakura, who is the editor in charge of this work, said in an interview: The discussion between himself and the author Isayama has never leaked.

"When we discuss the plot, we don't come up with our own ideas, we try to come up with problems as much as we can. I try to find tricky questions like what a character went through as a child, what his background is, and so on. Sometimes, he even asks questions that are beyond Mr. Isayama's imagination. In addition, there are many mysteries in the work, and the serialization of manga magazines is a battle of victory and defeat every time. Through the animation, the work achieved a breakthrough increase in popularity, and at the same time, the popularity of the characters was also linked to various commercial activities and collaborations. ”

For example, the protagonist Allen, in terms of character image and personality, is not so much a character who drives the plot as a character who is driven by the plot. I guess he doesn't look like the hero of a shonen manga...... And this animation of Guò has taken Allen's image one step in a better direction. Listening to the voice of Mr. Yuki Kaji, the voice actor who voiced Allen, Mr. Isayama also thinks that his voice fully expresses the weak side of Allen as the protagonist, and makes the picture more thick. ”

■What has changed is the evaluation of society, but this work will move towards a century-old classic

In the autumn of this year, Attack on Titan launched a new project, and one of the two theatrical versions of the TV anime is a readaptation.

"We would like to see the popularity of the work increase, but due to timing and other issues, it is impossible to start working on the second season of the animation right away. Based on this, I came up with the idea of a theatrical version this time. In fact, the Neon Genesis Evangelion series does the same, and I feel that the movie has the effect of further increasing popularity.

Actually, the first time I watched Madoka Magica was in a movie theater, which made me think that maybe many people have not been exposed to the TV version of the work. It's like many people haven't watched super popular TV series like "Little Sea Girl" and "Naoki Hanzawa" before. Naturally, then, there must be someone who has never touched Attack on Titan. And for them, the theatrical version will open a window into the production. ”

So what are the goals of "Attack on Titan", which has become a giant project, in the future?

"The charm of the work has not changed from the beginning, only the evaluation of it in society has changed. Mr. Isayama has shown excellent talent in terms of plot, creativity, and battle graphics since before his debut, but there are still many problems with the character setting at that time. But as the serialization continues, he has really achieved an excellent 'evolution' in terms of character design. Personally, I hope that this work will be remembered 50 or 100 years from now, and I believe that both writers and works have the power to achieve this goal. ”

In addition, although there are some unfounded worries, Kawaki is still thinking about a problem: how to make this work not only a hot spot in a certain period, but forgotten as soon as time passes. Therefore, in order to prove that this is a work that can be active in the front line, it is also necessary to maintain a good commercial balance, so as to obtain the "key" to further leap forward.

I don't want this kind of opportunity! Ranking of the most unwanted protagonists

I believe everyone knows that the protagonist of an animation often experiences various things along with the development of the plot, right? Although there are many things that everyone likes to see, sometimes they will encounter misfortune due to fate...... Depending on the work, the life of the protagonist will also have a different trajectory, so for the audience, it will definitely be impossible to accept the experience of some of the protagonists, right? Recently, some Japanese media conducted a survey on the topic of "Which anime do you not want to be the protagonist of", so let's see how it turns out!

■ You don't want to be the hero of this anime! Top10

Lifetime! AngelBeats! Tons of new projects announced

Since its launch in 2010, the TV anime AngelBeats!, a co-production between Key and Aniplex, has been the focus of discussion with its "afterlife" setting, the delicate story behind each character, and the tear-jerking ending. However, regarding the follow-up dynamics of this work, the official has not given a clear statement for a long time. Fortunately, according to the latest news, the PC game of this work will be officially released on May 29, 2015.

In this regard, the official also gave many highlights of the game, such as the improvement of Ma Zhi's quasi-script skills, many game choices, and the rich lives of the characters. Naturally, the voice actors of this game will also be the same as the TV anime. Therefore, we will be able to hear the outstanding voices of Hiroshi Kamiya, Hiromi Sakurai, Kana Hanazawa, and others! In addition, the new theme song of this game will be sung by Lia under the title "HeartilySong". Brigadier General Asaeda was in charge of the lyrics and composition of the song.

In addition to the news of the game's release, the single CD "MillionStar" (an unreleased track by GirlsDeadMonster), also written and composed by Jun Aeda, will also be given away to fans as a pre-order bonus for the game. Pre-orders for this game will start on Friday, January 30, 2015, so don't miss it.

Of course, the surprises are far from over. It was officially announced that the Blu-ray BOX of "AngelBeats!" will be released on June 24 next year. This BOX not only includes 13 episodes of TV series animation + specials, but also the latest animation "Hell's Kitchen" created by Jun Aeda. There is no doubt that this new work will be the biggest selling point of Blu-ray BOX, and the price of 26,800 yen (excluding tax) also needs to make people hesitate, right?

There are also many highlights in other aspects of the project. For example, the "AngelBeats!" 5th Anniversary Illustration & Concept Art Exhibition is one of them. In addition, Niconico Anime will also distribute 1~13 episodes of "AngelBeats!" for free for a limited time, and TOKYOMX will also rebroadcast this tear-jerking masterpiece every Thursday at 11 p.m. from January 8th. However, although the official enthusiasm is very high, it seems that many fans have maintained a cold attitude: "It's only now that the speculation has started, isn't it too late?" "Who's going to buy it!" "What's the point of still having a blue light now?" But I believe that after the release begins, AB Chef and Key Chef will still contribute their own strength to the classics in their hearts!

Details of the Tokyo Anime Awards 2015, the Oscars of the animation industry, have been announced

After holding the first edition in 2014, the Tokyo Anime Awards (TAAF) is confirmed to be held next year. According to the official plan, the 2015 TAAF will be held between March 19th ~ 23rd, and the venue will be Tokyo TOHO Theater Nihonbashi as well as this year. The organizers of this year's event will be the Tokyo Animation Awards Organizing Committee and the Japan Animation Association.

TAAF was formerly known as the Tokyo Anime Carnival, which was held in 2002~2013. And with the end of the animation carnival, this event has also been sublimated into an international film festival. So although next year will only be the second event, awards such as the Short Animation Award, the Animation of the Year Award, and the Lifetime Achievement Award have a history of more than 10 years.

And since 2014, the official new feature film award has been established, and the organizing committee has invited not only the French animation giant Michaeu Oslow, but also well-known industry figures such as director Takahata and director Yuki Tomino. And this event also provides a good platform for the dissemination of animation culture.

And with the experience of hosting this year's event, TAAF has also received more and more attention. At present, more than 1,200 short works have participated in the preliminary selection, coming from more than 60 countries and regions. This figure is also twice as high as before.

On the other hand, I believe that many anime fans will pay attention to the selection of the animation of the year. This is also an award that honors the best commercial animation of the previous year. In the 2014 awards, "The Wind Rises" and "Attack on Titan" won the grand prize in the theatrical version and TV animation categories, respectively. And there is no doubt that they are all classics that have sparked countless topics.

At the same time, the Anime Fan Award, which is voted for by anime fans, will continue to be used next year. At present, the voting work has been fully launched, and netizens can vote for their favorite works every day, which I believe will further enhance the vitality of the festival. In this year's selection, the biggest winner of this award is "Carton Fighter WARS", and "LoveLive! Schoolidolproject and Brave. won the 2nd and 3rd places.

However, she was also in charge of the animation storyboard and performance of "Confused Restaurant" in 2010, and this time she will definitely be familiar with the work. In addition, Yoshioka Takao was in charge of the composition of the series, Shingo Adachi continued to be the director of character design and general painting, and the music was produced by MONACA. Of course, A-1 Pictures will continue to be the producer of animation. In addition, it is believed that Jun Fukuyama, Saki Fujita, Hideri Kitamura, Daisuke Ono, Hiroshi Kamiya, Ryo Hirohashi, Ryoko Shiraishi, Yoko Hikasa, Shizu Ito...... and other big-name voice actors will still show their charming voices. And what kind of expression Kana Cheng will have this time, which is also a highlight of the work.

The author uses witty brushstrokes to depict various daily anecdotes that happen in the store, as well as the staff who are full of unique personalities. Characters include the protagonist Kotoriyu, who likes small things, Tanejima, who has a zài like the mascot in the store, Masa, who hates men very much, Soma, who likes to play tricks on people, and Kyoko, the store manager, who was originally a bad girl......

Ghibli can't chase the horse! "Monster Watch" had a box office of 1.6 billion in the first week

Nintendo's 3DS game "Yokai Watch" has not only achieved an astonishing sales of more than one million units in terms of games, but also in terms of anime adaptations. The news that the advance ticket sales of the theatrical version exceeded 2 million was jaw-dropping, but according to the latest box office statistics, the initial box office of this work has exceeded 1.6 billion yen.

If you don't have enough impressions of the concept of 1.6 billion yen, then the following set of comparative numbers jù is a testament to the strength of this work. Studio Ghibli's classic "Howl's Moving Castle" grossed 1.483 billion yen at the initial box office, the popular theatrical version of "ONEPIECEFILMZ" was 1.372 billion yen, and the well-known masterpieces such as "Neon Genesis Evangelion Q", "Spirited Away", and "Ponyo on the Cliff" have not exceeded 1.2 billion yen. This also means that "Yokai Watch" has become the highest-grossing work in the history of Japanese anime theatrical versions. And this work has just started, so I'm afraid there is only a very cliché word to describe its strength - "The sky is its limit." ”
