《ALDNOAH. ZERO" director talks

THE ORIGINAL WORK "ALDNOAH. ZERO has come to an end a few days ago. The ending of the first season has caused a lot of controversy, and it has also made many anime fans discuss with relish "whether the screenwriter is behind the blame, or the fault of the old man". Recently, Hidei Aoki, the director of this work, was interviewed by Wèn and answered some of the questions that everyone was concerned about. In particular, the sentence "If you stay in the state of being hit, then Ina Fan will die" is very worth playing.

Q: Was Ina Hirokun born with this expressionless personality?

Director: As mentioned in the plot, his parents died 15 years ago during the Heaven'sfall (the collapse of the moon). In the setting, he and Sister Xue depend on each other.

Even though there are a lot of people around to help, I think the living conditions are still quite difficult. And this experience of living hard together between the siblings made Ina Fan learn a lot of wisdom in life, and gained the determination to never give up. In our setting, he was made expressionless because of this experience.

Q: Does Etheiram Visser Aryosia have a mother?

Director: According to the setting, Ethiellam's mother died not long after she was born. Besides, she didn't even mention her father in the plot, right? Although we have talked about her grandfather, we still don't know anything about her father. I think it's because she doesn't remember anything about her parents.

Director: Slayin's character is a somewhat ambitious character according to the original script. And the basic premise is the same as it is now. As an earthling, he was abused by the Martian side, and now Srein is set to "become cowardly in the process of being tortured". That kind of cowardice will not resist even if he is beaten. And the only happy land in his heart is Aseram Iram. The above is the Srein setting in the anime.

But at the beginning, Srein was a character who did not give up his rebellious spirit in his heart, no matter how he was hit. But as our plot unfolded, we found that there was no way to set him like this. On the contrary, if he is the kind of cowardly child, then he can build this character more fully. As a result, we changed direction several times during the setup process.

Director: We've added some hints in the last episode. But it doesn't seem to be able to make the audience understand too much. Didn't you add a narration at the end? The sentence "Her Royal Highness Princess Eseriram is still missing".

Q: In other words, no body has been found.

Director: Such a statement can only mean that I don't know whether Iserilam is alive or dead. And choosing to let Sister Xue be the narrator is actually a hint. Of course, Ina did get hit. So in that situation, if it wasn't Sister Xue but let Ina Fan suddenly stand up and say that narration, it would be too disobedient, right? If you stay hit, then Ina Fan will die.
