From the left, I came to the talk show as an official reporter of Mr. Daisuke Okuda, Director Yoshihiro Yoshiura, Animation Mirai 2013, Representative Director of Animation Mirai of the General AssociationMaika TakaiThree of you. Director Yoshihiro Yoshiura said that this time was the first participation in Machi ★ Asobi, was initially planning to participate personally at the beginning, but from the ufotable Kondo producer "It is said that Yoshiura got out?" It was decided to hold a talk show It is said that.


"Armoni" is one of the four works of Animation Mirai 2014 and started as an animator training business. Anime Mirai is a project promoted by the country, but it seems that there is only a degree of criticism about the planning of the work, "stop Eroguro."

Therefore, Director Yoshiura decided to produce "Armoni" with the idea of ​​reproducing a piece of realistic high school life as unprecedented as I thought to do something I can not usually do. Specifically, it is a work expressing unique fantasy elements while incorporating a classcast-like taste.

Akio Honjo, the hero's main character, saw his friends in the story of the animation that he saw last night and he said that it is at least awkward to seem like it would be atrophied from a boys' It is a boy. Otaku boys of school girls are mostly beautified by animation and drawn by comedy touch, but it seems that the "almoni" made quite realistic expression. There are other people in the group who unconsciously exist, "This guy is a leader", but since he is producing such a real human relationship, "Animation that makes stomach pain when looking" Director Yoshiura himself said it.

In "Armoni" we are making a lot of attention to detail and making it. A fictitious light novel "claudia of absolute zero degree" which a nerd of a class including a hero, for example, is hooked on. This seems to have a real illustrator draw a character and covers firmly, but it only appears in one scene. Besides that, Yoshiura said that all 34 classmates had their face and the settings like "sports day" and "a few free people".

To make it easier for the voice actors to voice at the time of dubbing, director Yoshiura said that they dubbed their voice in their own voice to all the characters at the story of the storyboard.

Yoshiura seems to like the voice of the heroine's true name, Juri, which he played as the main character, Sekiya, in Hanaya MataRena UedaIs in charge of his voice. It is totally different from Hanaya Mata 's impression, when Mr. Takai of the same voice actor also heard it for the first time he did not notice that Mr. Ueda' s voice at all.


Yoshiura's work before "Armoni" is theatrical anime called "Sakasama's Patema." Although it seems that it was rare to match the face with the animator in charge of the original picture when "Sakasama's Patema" was produced, it seems that most animation production is going to progress in general in general animation production.

Yoshiura, however, revealed that at the production site of Animation Mirai work, there were many opportunities to see the state of young animators under drawing by sideways, which was a very fresh experience. In addition, the young animator who was in charge of drawing scenes where the heroine approaches the hero was all making a model of a pleated skirt for this scene, he said he was making drawings while watching this, so I can see these scenes Also the director of the Yoshiura, it was an interesting experience unique to animation Mirai whose production staff's distance is close.

Scene where the heroine approaches the hero


Unlike action animation etc, "Armoni" does not have any flashy action scenes or bombing scenes, and the scenes are simple and simple. However, there are many things such as the movement of the skirt when the character sits on the chair, the scene where all the members of the class begin different movements at the same time, while the morning assembly is finished, but it is rather plainly made That's right


Character design and drawing director of "Almoni" is in charge of character design and drawing director Atsushi Ikariya who worked for "Fate / Zero" and "Fat / stay night [Unlimited Blade Works]" etc. It is. Mr. Ikariya seems to be an animator who likes to draw macho series paintings rather than beautiful girls, sometimes it seems to be murmuring "drawing muscles" from time to time, but pretty girls with narrow lines of lines "Armoni" Director Yoshihi was satisfied that he drew.

It seems that it is difficult to ask people in the animation industry quite easily. Normally, when asking a superior person to ask a question, "If you wait a moment" you will be atrophied and you will be afraid to go to the next question. However, Mr. Ikariya seems to have created a self-rule that "I always stop working and respond to questions when I asked questions", and young animators who participated thanks to keeping that rule positively asked questions It became to be able to get along with the whole production team as well as "Almoni" as well.

Also, a story about "oblique line to be put in expressing transparent glass of anime's glass" also jumped out.


For example, if a big building or building in the town is reflected on the windshield of a car, the building's shadow will enter diagonally on the windshield. In the same way as above, when drawing glass with animation, director Yoshiura is telling the young animator the drawing director Mr. Ikutani is doing, thinking "Think about what is going to be reflected here", next to him He seems to have heard it at, and he said that he was impressed with "I see. In this way, even if you continue the work of the animator for many years, it seems that there is still something you can not learn unless you tell it, if you feel free to ask questions to the senior animator, feel free to learn those parts To say is very important, it seems to be a good place for animation Mirai.

Certainly there are many patterns of buildings obliquely appearing on the windshield of the car.

In current animation production, it seems that it is often difficult to have attachment to the scene, as it is often that you are given a short scene of about 10 cuts to produce 1 episode. However, in the production of animation Mirai, it is also possible to leave as many scenes as one to each person, such as "this person's scene here", "the last climax scene to that person", so he was in charge of the animator It seems that you can also make animation with attachment.

It is said that "Armoni" which is one such animation Mirai 2014 work was invited to the event called polymanga in Switzerland. Although it seems that it was uneasy whether "the part expressing Japanese-style class caste" expressed by "almoni" is transmitted or not, laughing in Switzerland when screening "Almoni" of subtitled version which was created in fact suddenly I got up and it seems that local staff said "I understand!"

"Armoni" is unusual as an animated Mirai work and the release of Blu-ray / DVD has been decided on a stand-alone basis, including interviews for almost all the staff and flapping scenes of "Para Para manga" which young animator had drawn, "Claudia of absolute zero degree" It is included as a benefit and it is quite luxurious.


There was a little time after the talk show, so the question corner started suddenly.


Q:
Why did Rena Ueda decide to play the heroine?

Yoshiura Yasuhiro (hereinafter, Yoshi):
Writing a screenplay, I was hoping for a high school girl voice. The voice of the image as coming in the play was confused in the tape audition. Well then it is already decided by one shot that "It's Kore!" It starred in Hanayamata, but the image is completely different.

Maika Takai (hereinafter high):
I co-starred with Reina Ueda at Hanaya Mata, but I did not notice at first that he was a heroine of "Armoni".

Yoshi
He said that the voice of the heroine of "Arumoni" is said to be natural.

Q:
What does Yoshiura take to daily routine?

Yoshi
I am drinking the blue juice of cucumber (laugh). It is easy to say because it is an old man, but since it is such a job, since the meal becomes unfairly biased, I am drinking with concern for health.

Q:
I heard that he came for the first time in Shikoku, but what do you want to do?

Yoshi
I wanted to eat the Tokushima Ramen, but I already accomplished this. It was delicious.

Q:
Although it is another work, it seems that you supervised the digital in the movie version of "Wake Up Girls!", What kind of things did you handle?

Yoshi
Yamakan told me "Tell me how to organize a room with digital like you did with Patema." So, I only supervised where I digitally organize the office of "Wake Up Girls!" I am surprised because I was not involved so much, but Yamakan is very respectful and I saw Haruhi and thought "Wow ~!" I think that I should have something in the future.

Q:
How do you think about the idea?

Yoshi
In my case, I often combine existing ideas. I am making it by combining what I saw in animation, what I saw in a movie, or an original experience of the past. For example, "Road Boy Meets Girl" and "Upside Man". Even if it is a simple one, combining two will make it quite distinctive.

Q:
Anime Mirai is a human resource development project, but please tell us about the difficulty and good points.

Yoshi
The hardest thing is that we taught each work carefully one by one because it is a normal process and it is troublesome. Especially in animation Mirai I entered the process of retaking to young one once and returning it, so the side that teaches this was also very difficult though. It was a good point, not only for young animators but also for myself, it was very helpful.

Q:
Can you come back to Machiaso?

Yoshi
of course!


In addition, a plan to decide the work of "I want to make this a big hit in the world" in each genre called Manga · Anime · Ranobet · Entertainment novel by voting, "SUGOI JAPAN referendumSince the introduction of the introduction was also done, those who are interested are necessary checks.
