Voice actor Hiroshi Kamiya recently attended a stage appreciation event for the theatrical version of the anime "Attack on Titan: Aftermath ~ Wings of Freedom" held in Tokyo. And when it comes to the issue of dubbing the commander, he bluntly said: I feel a lot of pressure.

Captain Levi played by Hiroshi Kamiya is a very popular character in "Attack on Titan" and is also known as "the strongest soldier of mankind". In this regard, Kamiya said bitterly: "Being arranged to play such an important role as Levi, I have an obligation to make him popular, so what kind of voice should I use!" I don't think I can fight this pressure! But then he said proudly, "It's great to be able to make this character so outstanding and make me feel like a voice actor." I can even proudly say that no voice actor is happier than me. ”

At the stage appreciation event that day, there were also Daisuke Ono, who played the leader, Sou Isayama, the original author, and Tetsuro Araki, the director of the work. When asked about what he hated the most, Ono said, "I couldn't understand the character of Erwin for a long time, so I was very distressed. What is happiness for this person......"

"Attack on Titan" is a manga originally written by Sou Isayama, and the work can be summarized by the following synopsis: "The world of Ichiē is dominated by giants. Humans who became delicacy on the lips of giants erected huge walls up to 50 meters high, in exchange for peace at the cost of freedom...... 10-year-old Alan is a child who dreams of the world beyond the walls. He felt discordant with people who lived in a brief and peaceful life and gave up their dreams of going to the outside world. Alan referred to them as 'domestic animals' and people saw him as a 'foreign body'. However, due to the appearance of a super-large giant who can break through walls, both Allen's 'dream' and people's 'peace' are all in vain in an instant......" The first part of the theatrical version was released in November 2014, and the second part will be released to the audience from June 27 this year.

The Japanese media selected the works of "It's Time to Remake/Release a Sequel".

Recently, "Sailor Moon" has launched a remastered version, and "Dragon Ball" will start broadcasting a sequel TV anime from this month. This phenomenon of remakes/sequels of classic works is becoming more and more common, and for this reason, some Japanese media have listed "works that are time to remake/release sequels".

■ "Sister Princess"

This is a wonderful story about the protagonist who suddenly has 12 younger sisters. And the 12 people have different names for their brothers, and they have everything from science girls to detective girls, and this whimsical setting has also sparked heated discussions for a while.

And,Such an interesting world view has cultivated a lot of "audience brothers",At the same time, it has made a very big contribution to the small book.。 Among them, there are some capable people who can report the birthdays and voice actors of their 12 younger sisters. And if there is news of the remake of this work, I'm afraid those brothers will cry bitterly.

■《Blade Fang》

This work never says anything that is difficult to understand. In this era, even JOJO can go from the first part to the third part. Then "Blade Fang" should be able to launch its own animation work!!

■《Chino's Journey》

Strictly speaking, the theatrical version of "Chino's Journey to the Land of Illness -ForYou-" was released in 2007, less than 10 years ago. But TV anime is already in 2003, so it's almost time for a sequel.

"Journey to Chino" tells the story of the protagonist's visit to different countries. There are many different types of countries, such as the "Ship Country", where the hull of a ship is used as a national land, and the "Tower Country", where tall towers are built. Chino, on the other hand, only stays for three days in each country before embarking on a new journey.

Originally a light novel, but once it is made into an anime, then the voice actor is worth paying attention to. Although Chino looks like a boy, he is actually a girl, and only Ai Maeda can play such a role. And because it's so suitable, people really can't think of anyone else in the sequel who can replace Ai Maeda's position.

■《MADLAX》

This is a Bishoujo anime that aired in 2004. At present, on the Internet, the episode "nowhere" of the work is still talked about by many people. This interlude is often used when the protagonist defeats a strong enemy, and because the timing of the music is perfect, it can be said that it is a work that makes full use of the interlude effect.

The overall plot is difficult to understand (especially in the first half), and the foreshadowing is everywhere, which may only be of interest to those veteran anime fans. Of course, the table xiàn in the ending is very good, which makes people sigh "Ah, I see!" "But at the end of the day, it's still hard to understand if you only watch it once, so it's a rare opportunity, so let's just remake it!

■Mobile Suit Gundam

We often hear people complain, "With so many works, which one is better to start with?" Such a question. For those who like the Universal Century, it is definitely worth recommending the theatrical version of the "Mobile Suit Gundam" trilogy, but this is all from 30 years ago, and it may be difficult for people today to accept it from the perspective of graphics.

Now, many Gundam fans are seeing Mobile Suit Gundam UC and other titles, and they say, "I wish I could remake the original with this quality!" "In other words, we are not asking for a simple CG and image quality restoration, but a complete remake of Mobile Suit Gundam!

In addition, the mechs that appear in the Gaiden can also be added, and tell the audience: In fact, the difference in the performance of the mech is not the whole thing that determines the outcome of the battle!

■ "City Hunter"

Although this work also has a sequel called "AngelHeart", this work that also stars the feather fang is not the same as the plot of "City Hunter". To put it mildly, true City Hunter fans may not like this kind of plot, right?

The City Hunter animation we were looking for was one that was completely hand-drawn and showed the resilience, passion, and skill of the crew. Every time I watch the previous anime, I feel that "I was able to do this!" "I can actually restore such a plot!" "How much effort the staff put into this work!"

Since there are already several special animations for this work, fans will be thrilled if we can present a two-hour special again at a rate of one per year and invite a new lineup of voice actors, right?

■ "Magical Unicorn"

This is a surprise that only the theatrical version of Osamu Tezuka's original work can bring us. When Yuriko has a trustworthy friend, she will exert her power to fulfill the wishes of the other party, and for this reason, the gods consider a wretched creature who "hinders their business". And it is constantly involved in turmoil in the plot.

Usually Yulik looks pitiful, but in a desperate situation, she will gain the love of her friends, so she has the courage to face strong enemies and transforms into a handsome unicorn.

Many people watched this work in the cinema when they were young, and for today's audiences, it should also touch their hearts. I hope this work can be remade. In addition, in 2011, there was a limited release of the special feature, but since it will not be released nationwide, we hope that this work will appear in theaters again.

The official explanation is the reason why passers-by in "Strange Tales of Random Steps" are gray

I believe many people have already watched the new "Strange Tales of Random Steps", right? As soon as this work came up, there was a hunting murder incident, and the discussion around the protagonist Kobayashi's "painting women and talking about men" has also become a hot topic. However, the issue of passers-by being gray has also caused controversy, and the official interpretation has been made.

"You may have questions about the characters in the form of gray silhouettes. In our setting, only when Kobayashi is interested in their words and deeds can he recognize them as individuals and 'see'. And the scenery that each character sees is also different in the way of the table, so please pay more attention to it when you watch it. ”

Regarding the official statement, some fans think that this setting is very subtle: "In this way, it actually helps to determine who the prisoner is." But others insist that it's just a new way to save money. And for more developments in this work, we will continue to pay attention.

The ranking of "anime works satisfied with the live-action version" was announced

It is often said that there is an unbridgeable gap between the two-dimensional and the three-dimensional, and because of this, many live-action adaptations of anime works are always full of bad reviews. So which works are satisfying even if they are live-action? Some media have investigated this.

This survey was conducted among 100 men in their 20s~40s, and the answer was obtained from the question of "works that you find satisfied with in the past anime and manga adapted from movies and TV dramas". The rankings are as follows:

No. 1: "Diary of a Fishing Fan...... 12 people

1st place: "Roman Baths"...... 12 people

No. 3: "Symphonic Lover's Dream...... 11 people

No. 4: "Extreme Freshman"...... 8 people

No. 4: "20th Century Boys"...... 8 people

No. 4: "Rogue Kenshin...... 8 people

No. 4: "Flying Girl Criminal...... 8 people

No. 4: "Wave Financial Road...... 8 people

No. 9: The Apocalypse of Gambling...... 7 people

No. 9: "Office Worker Kintaro...... 7 people

No. 9: "The Lonely Gourmet"...... 7 people

No. 12: "Delicious Challenge...... 6 people

No. 12: "Death Notes...... 6 people

No. 14: "Miss Conch"...... 5 people

No. 14: "General Affairs Two Lessons...... 5 people

No. 14: "Dark Gold Ugly Island...... 5 people

As can be seen from the rankings, the joint first place is "Diary of a Fishing Fan" and "Roman Baths". Usually, for works with higher rankings, respondents choose on the grounds that the starring cast is close to the original work, and that "only this person will play this work". For example, "Diary of a Fishing Fan" was co-starred by Toshiyuki Nishida and Rentaro Mikuni. In this regard, the interviewee said, "The combination of Toshiyuki Nishida and Mr. Rentaro Mikuni is too perfect. "I brought out the essence of the original work" "Maybe it's better to watch the live-action version than to read the manga." "Especially those over the age of 30 are especially supportive of this work.

As for Mari Yamazaki's manga work "Roman Baths", it has also won praise for the appearance of Abe Kan, Kitamura Kazuki and others. Comments such as "It's too good for the character", "Abe's mature face is too suitable", "It surpasses the original", "I'm not so fascinated by the manga", and "It shows its personality" are also the reasons why this work is recognized.

As for "Symphonic Lover's Dream", which ranked third, it is Shuri Ueno's famous work, and her watch Xiàn is also very suitable for the role of the work. In the course of the interview, everyone said: "The live-action version fully captures the world view of the comics", "interesting", "on the one hand, it restores the original work, and on the other hand, it shows the advantages of the live-action version", "there is a different interest from the comics", "the character arrangement is great", etc.

In general, the works that are recognized by everyone are often works that depict the real society. Therefore, even if the live-action version is launched, there will be no sense of disobedience. Of course, this is also inseparable from the efforts of directors, actors, and the entire system. Let's continue to look forward to the birth of better live-action works in the future!

《Lovelive！ The way the theatrical version works has attracted attention

Nowadays, even if it is a late-night animation, its theatrical adaptation can still achieve good results at the box office. And the hottest "Lovelive! The theatrical version has attracted media attention in terms of its operational form. The full text is as follows:

In terms of the scale of its release, a film that has been screened in more than 200 movie theaters nationwide usually aims to be "the number one at the weekly box office". Since people are very concerned about "what is the number of the box office", it is essential to promote it if you want to be at the top of the list. And the next thing we're going to talk about is Lovelive! TheSchoolIdolMovie》。

On the one hand, this work has a very strong fan base, but on the other hand, the advance tickets with bonuses and the weekly audience bonuses have also helped a lot. Although this is a very common practice for theatrical animation, there are also people who have different opinions about this work. They think that this kind of idol commercial hype method has gone a little excessive, although there is no problem with "fans spending money for what they want", but a late-night work can beat "Sea Street Diary" and other live-action movies with many big names still making many people feel disobedient. And for the film industry, it is even more difficult to judge "what works are the most popular at the moment".

Regarding media reports, many netizens also expressed their opinions: "It is difficult for late-night animation to be successful, and the income of practitioners is very low, so even if it is more, what's wrong with everyone hoping to make some money?" "Actually, doesn't that reflect what are the most popular works? Whether it's animation or live-action, as long as it can improve the efficiency of the film industry. "If you're not satisfied with LL's perks, you can also try it?" So how will the bonus business model change in the future? Let's wait and see.

On the cover, several of the main characters are very happy facing the camera, and it can be expected that the plot included in the first volume should be relatively happy. And I believe that they will also take on a very heavy role in the early works.

In addition, the cover of the theme song "Insight/Ledger" has also been announced. The CD, which is scheduled to be released on August 5, is also expected to have a festive atmosphere.

In the world of Peter Pan, each life form has a unique psychic ability, and cutting-edge technology can be used to transform this ability into an actual energy object called "NOTE". And the enhanced costume that extracts "NOTE" and makes zuò is the battle costume of "Gteam", Peter Pan. The science Peter Pan who is active on Earth are all aliens sent by the "Council" and earthlings with potential. Their first task is to protect the precious resources of the Earth and protect the safety of the people, and to this end they will fight against the alien criminals who are trying to invade the Earth.

The release of "Autobots" was once again questioned for plagiarism

I heard that the cute "Lightning" McQueen is back, no, "Autobots" is about to be released. But wait, Autobots? Isn't McQueen a character in Cars? It turns out that "Autobots" is a domestic animated film, which will be released nationwide, and the director is Zhuo Jianrong. One is domestic, the other is produced by Disney, and the two animated movies are so similar even in title, is it a "copycat"?

The editor searched for news related to "Autobots" and found that a Japanese morning news column "sukkiri" had reported the news of the upcoming release of the Chinese animated film "Autobots". In the column, the host questioned the suspicion that "Autobots" has a copycat of the Pixar animation "Cars", on the grounds that the appearance of the three cars in "Autobots" resembles Lightning McQueen, Master Chief and Fransco in "Cars".

Subsequently, the producer of "Autobots" responded to the "copycat" question, saying that it was just learning from Disney's work, but it was completely different from "Cars". In Autobots, there are human beings, so it's not a copycat but an original.

However, some netizens still expressed their disbelief in the producer's "original" statement. In this regard, on the 9th of last month, the director of the film, Zhuo Jianrong, scolded on Weibo again, criticizing the Japanese media as "traitors in the new era", saying, "I was interviewed by a woman surnamed Wang on Japanese TV and TBS TV, I repeatedly emphasized that there was no plagiarism, and the other party also said that the content was different, how could I report it and say that I plagiarized?" No matter what others say, it's their freedom, anyway, I'll just be myself."

In addition, the editor also noticed that Zhuo Jianrong, who has a small temper, also publicly quarreled with Lu Hengyu, the director of the online animation "100,000 Bad Jokes", on Weibo, because Lu Hengyu criticized "Autobots" as "the first scheming in domestic animation" on Weibo. Zhuo Jianrong immediately responded on Weibo, angrily scolding him for being shameless, "It seems that you are also shameless?" Purely to cater to the curiosity of a certain segment of the population? What exactly is your ghost work talking about?

On June 3, Zhuo Jianrong also said, "Don't go to see it if you don't have children at home, it's not for you to see." The netizen who even called "no children at home" is "young X-silk".

It is reported that "Autobots" tells the legendary story of a genius boy cartoon Guò who successfully designed a set of top car intelligent control systems and realized the legendary story of human-car dialogue.

So whether it's a copycat or not, what do you think?

Behind the pyramid, there are two unsightly men, one of whom is most likely the X-Men's enemy Apocalypse. In the film, Apocalypse is played by Oscar Isaac, the actor of "Drunken Country Folk" and "Ex Machina", the character of Apocalypse was born in the First Dynasty of Egypt, is an abandoned baby, educated in the theory of "survival of the fittest", and grew up in brutal battles. The leader of the adoption of the Apocalypse seems to have heard some kind of prophecy and decided that the kid would become the ruler. In the millennia that followed, the apocalypse roamed the world, waging wars to test what nations and nations were "fittest". In the process, he discovers some alien technology to further strengthen himself. In the 20th century, Apocalypse believed that superpowers and ordinary humans could not coexist, so he firmly opposed the "X-Men" as idealists who supported "peaceful coexistence".
