After the screening, as a guest moderator Mr. Kajida Mafia, Mr. Okamoto of "Mecha Ude" director, Mr. Hiroyuki Matsuyama of the cyber connects two who supervised the work, a talk show was held to dig a story behind the production It was.



Originally we decided to create "Mecha Ude" because Mr. Okamoto drew an illustration of the mechanics by saying "I have not drawn it," and posted it to the SNS, I was quickly attracted by that charm A shocking beginning was told that the fact that Rip caught "animation still?" From the fans was the first time.

Mr. Okamoto also serves as a manager at the age of 24 at the beginning of "Meudowe"'s crowdfunding, but also against the question "How did you become a coach under what circumstances?" It was getting called as a director before unexpectedly, "a surprise history jumps out.



Mr. Matsuyama in charge of supervision is related to the creation of theatrical animation " .hack // GU TRILOGY " which Cyber ​​Connect took with Mr. Aso of Fukuoka's creative team TriF Studio to which Mr. Okamoto belongs, and TriF Studio I was asked to teach know-how by making animation for the first time and it was decided to participate. It seemed that the timing when the voice was also reunited after a long time at the event seems to have been told, the episode that understands the size of what is called the edge of the industry.

TriF Studio seems to be doing animation production in a unique way, and tried asking other animation companies for cooperation, "It is impossible to make such a way", "It is said to be surprised how to do such an inefficient way". Although it seems that CyberConnect - 2 's staff also participated in only a few cuts, Mr. Matsuyama said that he was showing surprise such as "I learned so much but I do not want to follow this way." Regarding TriF Studio's production environment, it is this time that it may be made public in a making material collection etc, so if you are interested, a follow-up report is necessary check.



About the content of the work, Mr. Kajita said that "Mechanowe (machine arms) are expressive and I felt human taste better than humans". About this, Mr. Okamoto talked about ingenuity that draws Mekaudete humanly, "I thought that hands would have humanity next to their face, but because I am still unsatisfactory with just hands, I added pupils to Alma (the mechanic wife of the main character)" It was.

Regarding casting, Mr. Okamoto also said that he wanted Satoshi Sugita, a voice actor who played a robot chain bar at animation " Galgantia of Fairy Star " by Aibo Meka de Alma. The reason was "I wanted to give humanity to machinery", and in fact it was a character that seemed to be "Hikaru's homie" rather than "Hikaru's tool" such as interacting happily with the leading character Hikaru.



It seems that the imaginary city that serves as the stage for the work is a motif of Kitakyushu city in Fukuoka. Although a gadget called Mecha Ude appears, it is not a special future's future but basically a contemporary style so the pilgrimage of the sacred place seems to be going back.



After the event, autographs by Mr. Okamoto and Mr. Matsuyama were also held.
