Aya Hirano blogs mourn the death of her father

Aya Hirano, affectionately known to her fans as "Captain," recently suffered a tragic event: her beloved father passed away on July 11. Recently, Aya Hirano explained this incident on her personal blog and expressed her determination to turn her grief into strength in the future. The full text is as follows:

July 11th.

My beloved father has passed away.

He was 56 years old.

At the end of last year, my father was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and he immediately underwent surgery early last year. Since then, he has been fighting the disease with anti-cancer drugs, but since this year, he has been hospitalized and discharged...... Now, this year and a half of fighting cancer has finally come to an end.

As long as I have even a little time, I will go home and have a look. All I could do was think about how much I could talk to my father and how I could support my mother in the little time I had left.

I grew up watching my father's back. I want to be like my father. Even when the doctor told him that there was not much time left, my father asked, "When will I be able to go back to work?" ”

I think he's my pride.

And it is this kind of performance that is the father I love the most.

My father's spirit of wanting to live at the end of his life. The feeling of futility that has worked hard but is still powerless. Everything was sublimated a little at the same time as I watched my father in the last moment.

My father died young, but I want to inherit my father's will. My father's goal will be accomplished by me.

And I want to support my mother in the place of my father.

Last year, my grandmother and my mother's dog passed away, but my mother continued to take care of my father's illness. I have nothing but deep admiration for this. I think only a mother can do this.

I'm going to Osaka tomorrow to prepare for the play. I'm worried about my mother's situation, but I'm sure my father will bless her, so I should do what I have to do. And my father has always wanted to see me in "Lady Bess" and "Les Miserables", so I think he will definitely watch me somewhere, right?

Yesterday was a vigil. Today is a farewell ceremony.

The news of my father's death has been exposed by some news websites, and I was shocked by the fact that there was so much misinformation about my father's death just after he passed away and I hadn't told anyone about the time of his death.

Although I would like to report this news to you personally, I hesitate to announce it. I'm sorry that the result has worried everyone.

I will do my best, so please continue to protect me gently.

"But Joss Whedon also specially accompanied a handsome female photo of actress Keti Sakhoff, director, have you already thought of the actress Thor?

Although Sister Hammer and Loki may not have anything to do with each other, and this new series of comics may not affect the direction of the movie, coupled with the previous news reports that Wolverine will die in the comics, people can't help but feel a little worried about the future trend of the Marvel Universe.

JUMP Anime Festival· JSAF2014 will be held from November 9 to November 16. And the many schedules that have been revealed recently are believed to attract the attention of a large number of anime fans. The three popular titles that are currently serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump will be released with new anime at this event.

First of all, the most eye-catching is "Gintama", which was chanted by countless fans, "I am willing to exchange my life's discipline for an incomplete". In order to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the manga serialization, an independent episode called "Crying Episode" will be broadcast in JSAF2014. And on the official pictures, we unsurprisingly saw the figure of the protagonist Sakata Gintoki, and surprisingly, this time his partner was actually a 10,000-year-old stalker. So will this time the story revolve around the two? And according to the conventional urine nature of this work, the story must inevitably start selling the rhythm of the festival and the end of the cheating tears. I believe that many of everyone's favorite characters will appear in this short episode. Whether you are a fan of the original or a die-hard animation fan, it is worth paying attention to!

["Gintama" plot synopsis]

In an overhead samurai country, people's lives have also changed dramatically due to the invasion of the celestials. The protagonist Sakata Gintoki is a strange uncle who drives a house of all things and is lazy all day long.,And his partner Shinpachi Shimura who is the main body of glasses and Kagura from the Moon Rabbit clan also have their own personalities.。 In addition, there are also Tambi No. 1 Katsura Kotaro who insists on being stubborn, Tera No. 2 Kondo Xun who follows Shinpachi's sister Ah Miao all day long, and Hijikata Shishiro, who is usually serious but is also funny in his bones.

I believe that the original work broadcast this time will also make the best warm-up for TV animation, right?

[Synopsis of "Assassination Classroom"]

Known as the most vicious existence in history, the "Killer Teacher" blew up seventy percent of the moon and declared that he would aim at the earth. But for some reason, such a terrifying existence serves as a teacher in the 3rd year E class of Tsubaki Middle School. As a result, the leaders of all the countries of the world entrusted the mission of eliminating this threat to the students of this class, hoping to kill the teacher within a year, and if the mission was successful, the students would receive a staggering reward of 10 billion yen (later changed to 10 billion yen for individuals and 30 billion yen for groups). Therefore, everyone racked their brains to find a way to kill the teacher, and this campus + weird + funny story also began......

As for the third work, it is the popular sports animation "Volleyball Boy!!", which is still on the air. 》。 At present, the TV animation has just been released to the 15th episode, and it can be said that it is getting better. The reasonable setting in the work also made friends who are tired of watching all kinds of murderous tennis and cosmic basketball feel a breath of fresh air.

The 3D live-action version of "Tarzan" started filming and is scheduled for July 2016

Recently, the live-action 3D movie "Tarzan" was officially announced to start filming, after the filmmaker Warner announced that North America was set for July 1, 2016. The film is directed by David Yates, "True Blood" actor Alexander Skarsgård plays the role of "Tarzan", and actress Margot Robbie in "The Wolf of Wall Street" plays Jenny. At the same time, Christopher Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson, Germain Hansu, and John Hurt are all confirmed to join.

The film is based on the novel of the same name by American novelist Edgar Rice Burroughs. "Tarzan" is the protagonist of the novel, the baby Tarzan and his parents were shipwrecked in a boat and drifted to an island, and later his parents were killed by wild beasts, Tarzan was raised by orangutans since childhood, so he was called "Tarzan of the Apes". This classic character has been used on television and film many times, including a series of films starring John Westmorer, a swimmer-turned-actor, in the thirties and forties.

The film tells the story of John Clayton III (Tarzan), who returns to human society many years after returning to human society, and is ordered by the queen to come to Africa again to investigate the situation in Congo. Congo is now ruled by a warlord who controls a huge diamond mine. Tarzan is accompanied by a former mercenary, George Washington Williams (Samuel L.

After that, he continued to direct "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" and so on.

Previously, the live-action movie "Tarzan" was also ill-fated, and the film had the intention of launching in 2013, but it was vetoed by Warner executives because the budget was too high. After more than a year of negotiations, "Tarzan" was finally resurrected, and in January this year, the film announced that the date was July 1, 2016. The film is currently being filmed at the Livingston location in the UK.

New project decision? The "Psychological Evaluator" symposium broke the news

At present, the new plan of "PSYCHO-PASS" is in full swing, with the "new editor-edited version" aired in July, the "second season of animation" to be broadcast in October, and the "theatrical version" to be released this winter. A few days ago, the producers held a symposium on the website "NICO Raw Broadcasting" to help promote the new plan, and invited the core figures of the plan, such as Katsuyuki Motohiro, the chief director of the animation, Naoyoshi Shiotani, the original story and script writer, the script coordinator of the second season of the anime, and Koji Yamamoto, the producer of the Fuji TV Noitamina program, to attend and talk about their thoughts on the new plan.

First of all, the core figures started the topic around the "new editorial-edited version" that has been broadcast. Producer Koji Yamamoto said, "When I first conceived this plan, I thought that if the audience could concentrate on watching it for an hour, they would definitely be able to better understand the charm and handsomeness of the work," while director Naoyoshi Shioya said, "Although this is called a 'new edited version,' it is not created by editing the original animation clips, but I thought about how to make the work more fleshed out." If you convert it to a script, the new storyboard is 1.5 times larger, and it's all new by myself."

Then, the conversation shifted to the upcoming "second season of the anime" in October. Gen Kubuchi praised the new addition of the second season, "Although it is the first time that we have worked together, Mr. Okikata has added elements of more original SF style to "PSYCHO-PASS", and I think it is very honorable to work with Mr. Okikata." Okikata humbly expressed his gratitude for this, "Director Shiotani and the staff members let me find something to try in this work and accept my opinions, for which I would like to express my gratitude."

Finally, you talked about your enthusiasm for the new plans such as the second season of the anime and the theatrical version. Director Naoyoshi Shiotani said, "From the new edited version to the second season of the anime, and then from the second season of the anime to the theatrical version, everything will be connected. For example, there are some 'overlaps' between the new edited version and the second season of the anime, so please start watching the new edited version." As for Kyobuchi Gen, he expressed his joy at the new action of the work: "I have always felt that the whole project of "PSYCHO-PASS" was like a gamble, but I didn't expect to have today's results and today's new development, and I am sincerely happy."

In the second half of 2014, I believe that "PSYCHO-PASS" will continue to be a big hit, and fans should not miss it!

The movie version of "Blue Ghost" was well received and the number of screenings was expanded

The horror series based on the PC game, "Blue Ghost", has won a lot of praise from fans for its unique rendering effect and strong presence of Blue Ghost, and now not only the game, but also related live-action movies have also attracted attention from all parties.

According to a survey by Japanese media, all the venues were full on the premiere day, and this popularity also made the official a little unexpected, and temporarily expanded the venues from the original 16 to 25 from July 12. In the two days of last weekend alone, the film attracted more than 16,211 viewers and grossed 21,634,200 yen.

It is worth noting that last week's box office performance increased by 312% compared to the opening week, which is very rare in the history of cinema. And each venue made an average of 865,368 yen at the box office, which was also 112% of the opening week. In response to the enthusiasm of the audience, the official announced again: from July 19th, there will be 14 additional theaters, which means that there will be 39 theaters to broadcast this work. And the official plan is to continue to expand the scale of the release in the future, and it seems that the popularity of "Blue Ghost" will get higher and higher.

In addition, starting this weekend (July 19), in order to commemorate the popularity of the work, the official will distribute the second round of the attendee's bonus "Blue Oni Study Ledger" to the 30,000 visitors who enter the venue first. On the cover of the bonus, there is a typical disgusting and cute expression of the green ghost, and on the back is the "Blue Ghost Learning Illustrated" that can understand the ecology of the green ghost. Perhaps, this is a treasure that fans of "Blue Ghost" cannot miss.

Experience the horror of chilling behind in the heat of summer. If you have the conditions and have a hobby in this area, you might as well go to the cinema to enjoy the live-action version of "Blue Ghost".

In this work, transfer student Instant, who can't fit into the new class, is imprisoned with his classmates in the "Jailhouse", where monsters are said to appear, and they are desperately trying to escape from it.

One of the things that has recently been noticed by Hosoya is that the official website of the MAUSUPROMOTION company to which he belongs has deleted his information, so the majority of netizens speculate that he has left the company since July 1, but he has not publicly stated whether he will act as a free man in the future or join other companies. This time, he finally admitted on the program "High Cliff Diving Channel ES": "I am already a 'free man' and have nothing to protect."

Levi landed on the cover of "FRaU", and the magazine was a hot sellout and out of stock

Earlier, we reported on the joint collaboration between the comic strip "Attack on Titan" and the women's fashion magazine "FRaU", which featured the very popular female Captain Levi on the cover of the magazine, which not only increased the sales of the magazine "FRaU", but also increased the popularity of "Attack on Titan".

Since the above-mentioned magazine was released on the 8th of this month, the sales of the magazine have been booming, and a week later, there is news that it is out of stock. The cover of the August issue of the magazine "FRaU" was hand-drawn by Sou Isayama, the original author of "Attack on Titan". Captain Levi, who sits on the sofa in a laid-back outfit and reads, is very rare in the original work.

The marketing department of the Kodansha Magazine Bureau, the publisher, commented on the magazine's popularity, "Thanks to [the popularity of Attack on Titan], the magazine has been selling very well. Levi and the Giant's popularity is still alive and well! There were a lot of calls from the bookstore, especially the portable "FRaUtogo! Many bookstores have sold out."

Even before the magazine was officially launched, there had been a heated debate on Japanese Twitter about what kind of books and sofas Commander Levi was reading. The appendix of the regular edition of FRaU comes with a transparent folder (A4 size) with the cover of the magazine, while the FRaUtogo! It comes with a smaller, different color transparent folder. Through the giveaway that comes with the magazine, it stimulates fans to buy even more**.

In addition, the August issue of this issue also features a long interview with Isayama and a character personality diagnosis, so that fans can enjoy and experience the world of "Attack on Titan". The magazine also set up a fan Q&A column to collect various questions from readers about the work. According to a survey of the post-release situation of the magazine, fans were generally satisfied with the answers given by Sou Isayama to the fans' questions in the magazine.

In addition, the August issue of "FRaU" also published a special feature titled "Shocking "Books" and "Comics"" - the second "FRaU Literary Awards" and "FRaU Comics Awards". As follows, from the works that have been released in one year, the staff of the Duomin Women's Bookstore and the selection committee have selected "the books and manga that I would like to recommend to women today." The specific selection process is that the members of the selection committee will first score each work, select the 15 works with the highest score as the alternate winning works, and then select the best grand prize winning works through discussion and negotiation. From June 2013 to May 2014, the FRaU Literary Award is based on books other than comics, including novels, essays, and realistic works (including translated works), and the selection method is exactly the same as that of the FRaU Manga Award. The winner of the Literary Award was "Let's Tell a Story, Ako" by the famous writer Kaori Fujino, who won the 149th Akutagawa Award, and the winning work of the Manga Award was "Escape is Shameful, but It Works" (original name: 逃げるは恥だが役に立つ) by manga artist Tsumana Umino. We would like to congratulate two writers on receiving this award.

"FRaU" also published a special feature of "Attack on Titan" in the September issue of last year, but this is the first time that the original author's illustration has been used as the cover of the magazine, and it is expected that the two will continue to work together even closer in the future.

Disney's new work "Super Marines" is a Japanese comic

Disney's latest film, "Super Marines" (released in North America on November 7 and in Japan on December 20), which has just taken the Japanese market by storm with a "Frozen," will be comic in Japan.

The prequel manga "Episode0" of "Super Marines" is scheduled to be published in the August 6 issue of "Weekly Shonen MAGAZINE36-37 Merger", and then it will be officially serialized in the August 20 issue of "MAGAZINE Special" No. 9. Although there have been versions of Disney's animated "Rapunzel" and "Robot Story" and the manga version of the live-action movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" in Japan before, it is the first attempt by Disney in the long history to disclose the storyline in the form of a comic book serialization before the release of the movie.

"Super Marines" is set in the alternate city of San Francisco Tokyo, which combines the characteristics of San Francisco and Tokyo, and the teenager Hiroshi Hamada begins to live alone after the mysterious death of his most beloved brother, and in order to stop criminal activities, he embarks on a wonderful and touching adventure with the robot "Baymax" invented by his brother.

The snow-white robot Baymax is chubby, like a big snowman. Its face design references the bells of the Eastern tradition. The townscapes, building exteriors, and Japanese signboards in the movie all have a strong Japanese character. Because of this, the director of this work, Don Hall, said, "I want to show the whole world this work with a lot of Japanese elements in the form of comics." ”

The manga artist in charge of creating the manga version of "Super Marines" is Haruo Ueno, who serialized the manga version of "God's Puzzle" in "Weekly Shonen Magazine". An important theme of "Super Marines" is the deep affection between brothers, and the editor in charge of this work said, "The delicate feelings shown by Baymax, who inherited his brother's will but is not human, can only be portrayed by Ueno-sensei." ”

Haruo Ueno also values this collaboration, saying, "I've loved Disney since I was a kid, and when I was a kid, my birthday was a day when I could get Disney gifts. I was able to draw a dream-like thing like Disney Comics, and I had already agreed to it before I thought about it. Baymax has a simple and cute appearance, and both children and the elderly will love it. Hopefully, readers of the manga version will enjoy it as well. ”

The live-action version of "Parasite" celebrities joined the luxury lineup exposed

Based on Iwaaki's popular manga, the live-action version of "Parasite" directed by Takashi Yamazaki has exposed more character actors today, forming a super luxurious cast lineup.

According to Japanese media reports, who will be "played" by MIGI, the parasitic beast in the protagonist of the film, will be announced the day after tomorrow. As a foreshadowing for the film, the anime of the parasite will also be broadcast on Nippon TV this fall!

"Parasite" is a popular manga serialized by Iwaaki-kun from 1990 to 1995. One day, many spores appear above the earth, and the larvae born in them invade the human body and can devour the host's head and replace it, thus managing this "corpse". The main character, Shinichi Izumi, is one of the humans who is parasitized by a parasitic creature, but due to some accident, the creature "MIGI" parasitic in his body does not eat his brain, but replaces his right hand. And Izumi Shinichi began a series of desperate struggles with other full-bodied parasitic beasts for the sake of his relatives and friends killed by the parasitic beast and the future of all humans. The book is quite critical of human existence and the dominance of the earth.

The popular manga "Corpse Hime" will be released on August 12 in the September issue of the manga magazine "Monthly Shonen Gangan" (SquareEnix Edition), which will be released in September, marking the end of the nine-year serialization.

"The Wolf Girl and the Black Prince" animation details and activities announced

It was previously rumored that Hatta Tsuko's manga work "Wolf Girl and the Black Prince", which produced TV animation, has recently released a lot of new information. The first thing to introduce is the new key visual. In the picture, we can see the appearance of the male and female protagonists leaning together, and in terms of painting style, it should be said that it is relatively similar to the original. This is also good news for comic book fans.

In terms of the production lineup, the director of this work will be Kenichi Kasai. Regarding the director's style, we can take a look at the works he has directed before. Born in 1970, he has worked as a director for animations such as "Symphonic ** Dream" and "Jun's Kiss Purerouge", and has also been responsible for the storyboard and performance of "Dragon and Tiger". It should be said that the theme of the love between men and women is very suitable to be directed by Kenichi Kasai, right?

The person in charge of the composition and script of the series is Sawako Hirabayashi. Sawako Hirabayashi once participated in "Empty Can Girl! The production of animations such as "Ghoul", as well as the game "The Promise of Haruhi Suzumiya" and the novel "First Love Limited" are also written by her. It was also a challenge for her to be in charge of both the composition of the set and the script.

In addition, the character design and general painting director will be Maki Fujioka. Maki Fujioka is one of the most popular painters in recent years. She can be seen in "Golden Strings", "His Royal Highness the Prince of Songs" and "Thin Sakura Oni".

And the voice actor selection can also be said to be star-studded. The voice actor of the actor Kyoya Sada, is Takahiro Sakurai. Known as Sakuraju, he has brought us too many classic characters in his many years of voice acting career, and there is no role he can't control, whether it is the handsome Suzaku Tsuki ("Rebellious Lelouch"), the protagonist of the female Xiang work, Shibuya Rishi ("Start Being a Demon King Today"), or some funny animals ("Digimon" Beetle Beast, "The Correct Use of Dogs and Scissors" Harumi and Human Service), there is no role that he can't control. This time, the character will be a black-bellied and shaky S man, so let's look forward to his performance!

And the heroine Erica Shinohara, will be played by Kanae Ito, who is 147 tall. Ito hasn't had many anime works lately, which has also made many of her fans feel like they're looking forward to it. Fortunately, this time she will be the voice of the female number one again. Her voice is full of vitality, but she can be tsundere or gentle, and she is not inferior to playing **. His representative works include "The Super Electromagnetic Cannon of Science" (Saten Tears Serving), "The World Realm Where Only God Knows the Dao" (El Lucy), and "My Friends Are Few" (Meat Servitude).

As for Ai Chino, who loves to be called "sweater", this time she will dub Ayumi Mita. Sweater is arguably one of the most popular female voice actors in recent years, with a voice that can cover almost all character types, and her cute appearance and affinable temperament have also attracted the attention of a large number of anime fans. His representative works include "Unheard of Flower Names" (Face Code Service), "Catalogue of Magical Forbidden Books" (Wuhe Service) and so on.

Jasmine Ise's role will be Marin Tachibana. Born in 1988, she also works as a stage actress, which can be regarded as a multi-faceted artist. Her performances in works such as "Angel in Stockings" (S Sister), "First Love Limited" (Ayumi Arihara), and "Bento" (Gun Narcissus) are impressive.

And Ryoto Kimura will be voiced by Nobunaga Shimazaki. He once won the Best Newcomer Award at the 7th Echo Actor Awards, and although he only won the status of the leading actor in 2012 with "Waiting in the Midsummer" (Kirishima Umi Renji), his starring work has continued to increase, including "Date Wars" (Gokawa Shimichi) and "Free!" (Nanase Haruka) have become his masterpieces.

The voice actors of Nozomi Kamiya, Hibiya Ken, Aihime Tezuka, and Kushitabe are Matsuoka Yoshisei ("Sword Art Online" Kiritoto, "NOGAMENOLIFE" Sora), Hosoya Yoshimasa ("Future City NO.6" Nizmi Service, "Bloodthirsty Attack" Akijo Service), Komatsu Mikako ("From a Calm Tomorrow" Shiomi Sea Service, "Violent Space Pirates" Kato Jasmine Service) and Ayumi Murase ("M3~That Black Steel~" Izuki Hei Ren, "Volleyball Boys!!"!!). "Hyuga Shoyo Service).

In order to prove the existence of her "boyfriend" to her friends, she ran to the street to find a handsome guy, preparing to secretly take photos of the handsome guy to pretend to be her boyfriend's "truth". But what she met was Kyoya Sada, who was from the same school as herself. Erica confessed her grievances to the other party and asked Kyoya Sada to pretend to be her boyfriend.
