Following the “Soul Eater” series, the TV animation of “The Fire Brigade”, another masterpiece of the cartoonist Okubo, was officially launched in July

In this work, the “flame man” born for the unexplained spontaneous combustion phenomenon of the human body is the existence of wanton destruction. In order to save the people, the special fire brigade is fighting the “flame man”. Since he was a child, he has been known as the “devil” since he was a child in the lower part of Senro Ri. In order to find out the truth about the death of the mother and brother in the accident, Senro joined the special fire brigade and embarked on a battle to seek truth

On the occasion of the animated broadcast, animateTimes interviewed the supervising director of the animation, Gossip Yuki, and the producer of david production, who is responsible for making the animation, to tell us about the highlights of this work and some behind-the-scenes anecdotes

Before the “Fire Brigade”, Song Yong had worked with the Gossip Supervisor many times and was familiar with each other. The “Flame Fire Brigade” is not only a matter of watching the action, but also hopes to be able to do well in the plot and the funny, so Song Yong found the gossip, and at the same time let him be responsible for the high-intensity set

Gossip has never done any real action work so far, and I have always been hoping to challenge the adaptation of the original comic book. After I learned that this original is the comic of Okubo’s teacher, I thought of Okubo’s teacher. There is an animated “Soul Eater”, which makes gossip from the very beginning that this work is certainly quite attractive

In the main team, the main original artists are all partnered with the gossip, so they can trust them. Gossip believes that the character design of Shougang Yingxing is quite attractive. The director of the music, Kenichi Ichiro, has not only provided music for the TV series “Escape but shameful but useful” and some movies, but also has been responsible for a lot of animated music. I talked with the end about the use of stringed instruments in animation, so this time some of the images will be used with stringed instruments to use classical music

According to gossip, there is only one requirement given by the original party, that is, “Please draw well on the line”, so the production team is almost entirely responsible for the animation group, you can let go. Considering that the rhythm of the action drama in the original work is quite good, the animation aspect is also carefully describing the gorgeous action drama, and also hopes to take care of the description of the flame

The description of the flames in the works is quite diverse, and the flames seem to have their own emotional colors. Therefore, the performance of the flames cannot be generalized. It is necessary to distinguish between the flames of ordinary burning and the flames emitted by the “flame people”. And the flames emitted by these abilities, such as Sen Luo, can be more intuitively distinguished. In order to meet the requirements of the gossip for the description of the flames, the three original paintings of the three rounds of the macro and the big, the big Zibo and the Songpu Li can be described as a lot of effort, and the audience is also invited to pay attention to the animation

For juvenile comics, when describing the subject of serious direction such as the heavy past of the protagonist, the rhythm is usually adjusted through some funny conversations, and people can still enjoy watching in the tension of the palms and sweats. This is the highlight of the young manga. Although it is serious, it is not too heavy. The goal of the animation is also the same. The action drama belongs to the action drama, and the daily routine is daily, so that the overall relaxation is degree

About the seiyuu selection, based on the members of the 8th special fire brigade, select the seiyuu that matches the character image, and then extend it to filter. Song Yong said that because the firefighter’s voice is easy to turn down, it may become a situation where the voice of all the staff is very low, so the casting is very difficult, especially since Senro and Arthur are too late to decide, and finally can only Start with Sakura, and then decide the seiyuu of other characters while considering the overall balance after deciding on the candidate for the fire rope

Here, the gossip also specifically mentions Tsuda Kenji, who plays the role of the JOKER in the original work. Gossip said that after listening to the voice of Tsuda, he is still free to play, and there is only one requirement for him, that is, “play as you like.” In the scripting session, it has been suggested that if you follow the original, JOKER will not be premature in the animation, but after several considerations, I finally think that at the early stage, everyone will realize that there is still The existence of the three forces will be better, so the animation will let JOKER appear in the second words at the rhythm of the original. On the other hand, Gossip felt that the appearance of JOKER played a role in giving Senro the direction, so that Senro felt that he was approaching the answer to the puzzle he was pursuing

After watching the completed animation, Gossip and Matsunaga said that they were satisfied and thought that they had achieved the expected quality. Both of them were very grateful to all members of the production team. As far as TV animation is concerned, the work on the subject of flames is rare. Every time the fire brigade is dispatched, it will be replaced with the location. It has to be changed in time and color. This is quite a good for the production team. “High consumption” works

But in the face of this situation, especially when this relatively new theme, the main creative team can still put forward various ideas and apply these ideas to it, thus creating what everyone sees. Animation. At the time of the PV’s disclosure, the gossip had received encouragement from all parties. Many people said that they were “very handsome”. In response to everyone’s expectation, the gossip said that the animation would try its best to produce a satisfactory one. Answer sheet

Finally, Matsunaga mentioned that the comics drawn by Okubo’s teacher are comparable to animations, but after the animation, the sounds and the excellent performances of the seiyuu have made the characters more energetic, so I hope that the original powder can also Pay attention to animation and look forward to the future performance of animation. Gossip also said that because “Flame Fire Brigade” is an action work, it is naturally concerned about the spirit of the flames and the fighting scenes of the third generation using special abilities. In the process of production, the production team is aware. To express the gorgeousness of the battle, coupled with the different descriptions of the flames, as well as the background, drama and other aspects, I hope that the audience can pay attention

In terms of story, who is the prisoner who attacked Senro’s mother and brother, Senro will slowly approach the truth as a firefighter in the 8th special fire brigade. At the same time, members of the team other than the 8th special fire brigade and the surrounding people will continue to appear in the future. Please enjoy this work until the end!
