On October 11th and 12th, 2014, an event '

Machi Asobi vol.13 ' was held to make Tokushima all about animation, and 'Nitroplus ', a company working on games and animation production, held a 'Nitroplus 15th Anniversary Talk Event '. I did.

Nitroplus 15th Anniversary Talk Event-What is Nitroplus often seen in anime? ~
http://www.machiasobi.com/events/nitroplus.html

Moderator nitroplus chiral event producer of Shun in a san, performer is nitroplus representative directors and would have Flip a 's and producer nitro-kun is.



The theme of the talk is 'What is often seen in anime (Nitroplus)?'



For example,

on the staff cast page on the official website of ' Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie [New Edition] Rebellion Story ', '(Nitroplus)' is written after the name of Gen Urobuchi, who acted as the scriptwriter. .. At this talk event, he will reveal the reason why he named it (Nitroplus).



The talk proceeded while looking back on Nitroplus' past works. First of all, Nitroplus's first work '

Phantom -PHANTOM OF INFERNO- ' released on February 25, 2000. '



According to Digitarou, Nitroplus is a company that makes adult games (eroge) rather than making anime. Originally, anime and game enthusiasts worked hard on the production, but the production funds and the place to make it were limited, and it was eroge that I was interested in at that time. And the first one I made was Mr. Kakubuchi's maiden work 'Phantom -PHANTOM OF INFERNO-', which was targeted for 20,000 pieces, but actually received orders for 2,000 pieces. However, as a result of becoming a hot topic in 2channel, additional orders increased and we were able to achieve the sales target of 20,000 units.



At the time of making Phantom, when I asked Mr. Urobuchi, who writes the game script for the first time, 'I want you to make a beautiful girl thing', a plan for a pure love story came up, but for Mr. Digitarou, 'This is what it is. It's not. ' After that, Mr. Digitarou and Mr. Urobuchi went to the royal host, and after discussion, Phantom was made.

Next is 'Demonbane Demonbane'



Nitro-kun, who hadn't joined Nitroplus at the time of the release of Demonbane, was surprised at how complete it was when he played Demonbane. Regarding the background picture from Mr. Digitarou, about 50 pieces in a normal beautiful girl game produced 1000 pieces at the market price, so the development cost increased, and eventually it exceeded 100 million yen. The inside story that it was done was revealed.



In addition, it was revealed that KADOKAWA was negotiated to make it a consumer game novel before it was released, and that an eroge presentation was made in front of KADOKAWA officers.

Next is Saya's song released on December 26, 2003.



The reason for 'Saya no Uta' is unknown, but it seems to be very popular overseas. An American comic version was made to make 'Saya no Uta' into a movie, but Hollywood hasn't heard from it yet. However, 'I'm expecting a live-action film to be visualized in some way in the near future,' says Digitarou.

This is 'Sumaga' released on September 26, 2008. The first work of a combination of Mr.

Santa Tsuji, who is in charge of character design for ' Super Sonico ', and Mr. Baio Shimokura , a scenario writer. Mr. Deshun joined Nitroplus just when this work was released.



Compared to the first Phantom, Sumaga has a pretty pop design.

However, 'Full Metal Daemon Muramasa ' released the following year is far from pop again. Muramasa did not receive an increase in orders immediately after the announcement, even though he made the first limited edition in a paulownia box, but when he distributed the trial version, it grew sharply.



'Kimi to her to her love.' Released on June 28, 2013.



Contrary to the appearance of the package, the work that pushes the user to the bottom is 'Kimi to her to her love.', Commonly known as 'Toto'. Regarding this work, both Mr. Digitarou and Mr. Nitro said that it is a work that leaves trauma to the user.

How much 'Totono' shocked users is reflected in the content of customer reviews on Amazon.co.jp.

Amazon.co.jp: You, her, and her love. First limited edition [Amazon.co.jp with original postcard] Anonymous review

What will happen after ED except for those who often capture with the heroine of the game?
I sometimes imagine that kind of thing.
I didn't get tied, but I don't want you to go out with other male characters
Although it is very selfish, it is our own thought, but is it a revenge for such a kind of curse?
When I'm faced with an irreversible choice that doesn't save or load like in reality, can I choose and take responsibility for it?
You were made to experience what you would come across someday.
I chose her, but I didn't feel like trying to reinstall and see another ending ...

Recently, works with bright touches that mix cute characters with elaborate eroticism, works such as NTR, pregnant women, etc. have been the mainstream and have been slightly damaged.
This ambitious work that is not caught by them was a good stimulus
I'm looking forward to the next work of Nitroplus while resenting how terrifying the program was.



Amazon.co.jp: You, her, and her love. First limited edition Shimajiro-san's review

'Save it because it's an option, load it if you make a mistake' 'Because I captured one person, the route of the next character'
It's a natural behavior for those who play gal games, isn't it? Even when I started this game, for a while
I repeated saving and loading each time I made a choice.

However, this game is the same as 'reality', and it becomes irreversible.
There may be pros and cons, but I'm glad that you made this kind of system.
That's why there is something that comes to my mind, and the feelings of the creator have been properly conveyed.



Amazon.co.jp: You, her, and her love. First limited edition Laila's review

If you evaluate it as a novelge, the scenario is ☆ 4.

Very easy to read text.
However, the quality is not as good as the works that impressed me with successive novelges.
Even so, at the last moment, I was able to embrace my emotions firmly, and there was something that came to me.

The great thing about this work is [System].

The type that I was addicted to as a matter of course, the work that was a little bit damaged.
He defeated them.
I was freed from the 'must do' work feeling and was able to 'purely enjoy the game'.

If you evaluate it as a system ☆ 5.

If you want to give a comprehensive score for music, voice, direction, etc., I think it's about 4.5.

I'm sorry I can't talk much because I really want you to do it without spoilers.
It is a work that I want for those who play a lot of novelge.



'Super Sonico SUPER SONICO'



As for Super Sonico, it's not like Nitroplus, it's a character-oriented work rather than a story-oriented work. However, in terms of taking on challenges, Nitroplus has a strong characteristic, and as a result of the challenge, it has become possible to develop media in various fields such as music CDs and figures.

So far, the explanation of 'Nitroplus'. From here to the story of '(Nitroplus)'.

'PSYCHO-PASS ', which Nitroplus participated in the production, story draft, and script, has a good reputation in the first period, and the second period will be broadcast from October 2014, and the movie version will be released in January 2015. The work that is scheduled. According to Mr. Digitarou, in animation production, the script is revised many times from the first draft to the final draft, but 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' and 'PSYCHO-PASS' are mostly modified in Mr. Kakubuchi's first draft. It is a work that has not been added and I was allowed to do it as I like.



Also, although 'PSYCHO-PASS' has a lot of glossy expressions, Fuji TV is very tolerant of freedom of expression, and that was one of the factors that made me feel 'I was allowed to do it freely'.

Animated movie 'Expelled from Paradise- ' in which Nitroplus participated in the original work



It was around 2006 that Nitroplus received the story of the expulsion of paradise about five years before the start of Madoka Magica broadcasting. At that time, Toei Animation hadn't made an original animation for about 40 years, so the story went on by saying, 'By all means, the one based on Mr. Urobuchi.' Digitarou-san said, 'I think there aren't many animes that express the color of Gen Urobuchi so far.' 'If the expulsion from paradise sells, I'm hoping for it,' said Digitarou.

Finally, at the end of the event, Mr. Digitarou revealed the reason why he added the name '(Nitroplus)' after it. The reason is that the eroge market is tapering year by year and I don't know how long it will last, so I want people watching anime to remember the name Nitroplus and buy the game. Said, 'I want anime users to know the fun of Bishojo games and get excited.'

At the end, the talk show ended with the following message from Mr. Digitarou.

Digitarou:
I want to continue making beautiful girl games. I feel that the era of making what you want to make and doing something about it will soon be over. For example, doing it with DMM, who has good performance, is also necessary for the survival of the company. With the funds earned in this way, I would like to make a beautiful girl game that will make everyone's hearts tremble. Thank you very much for today.
