“the Shield of the Brave” is the pioneer of the new program animation this season, which has opened a good position with high-quality film quality. WebNewtype published an interview with the producer of KADOKAWA, Mr. Tamura Ichiro, specifically about the film’s plan. Jingwei, the content of the work, overseas development, etc..

The cause and goal of the plan.

The animation project started four years ago. At that time, the original novel has gained a very high popularity at home and abroad. It can be juxtaposed with “Sword Art Online” on Amazon’s sales list. The story content is not only accepted by domestic readers. And there are quite a lot of readers overseas, so this film plans to focus on multinationals at the same time

Although the history of Kinema Citrus is not too long, it is still a new animation company four years ago, but it is not because it is newly established, so the quality of animation is not as good as the old one, and each piece has a higher quality. Moreover, there are works such as “From the Abyss”, which are both domestic and international reputations and commercial double harvests. At this point, the goal of the animation of “The Shield of the Brave” is consistent

Animations are made in two seasons, because if you make a season, then the story will stop at the top, so you decided to do two seasons at the beginning, and the quality of the novel itself is very high. Comicization is also very successful, so how to “direct” animation is the most important, as the premise of the length of the two seasons is a must

Tamura believes that the charm of this work is the character of Shang Wen, the protagonist who survived the desperate struggle, and the various stories that reflect his humanity that followed him. Not only is the protagonist strong, but the story itself is very good, and it is very popular overseas. This is probably the main reason. The characters are well-characterized and the plot is also very good, suitable for both young and old

Now in the mainstream animation, such as “Partner betrayal”, there will be very few plots that will put pressure on the audience, because try to not put pressure on the audience, so the beginning of “The Shield of the Brave” is actually very risky, but in order to In the role of Shangwen, this plot must be made. Tamura said that the first episode was made in two episodes to control this risk. If there is only one episode, then the plot will stop at the protagonist’s place, so it must be Add an episode to let the audience know that the protagonist has not stopped

The protagonist Shang Wen is a character that can turn stress into motivation. It can also be felt from PV. When I first arrived in a different world, I was too frivolous and slackened, so that I fell later, but then he immediately stood up again. It is not only imposing, but also thinks about various measures for various situations. His age setting is college students, not middle school students, so he can basically be regarded as an adult, but he can’t be completely regarded as an adult. However, to be able to cheer up in a desperate situation, a certain degree of maturity is necessary, so the setting of college students. It is completely in line with the plot. In addition, compared with the physical strength, the charm of Shangwen should be strong in the heart and spirit, and the animation will also carefully express this aspect

Raffa Liya was set up because some accident townships were destroyed and the tragic characters sold by slave traders. Later, after encountering the protagonist Shang Wen, they only exerted their strength after overcoming the knot, not only physically strong, but In the spirit of this work, her heart is constantly being honed

Overseas response.

Tamura said that from the comments of two PVs published on YouTube, there are many comments outside of Japanese. The four live broadcasts of the brave seiyuu also have many overseas visitors. This is popular in the world, on the one hand, as a popular world-old reincarnation work, on the other hand, in the mainstream, it is the invincible and powerful routine of the protagonist. This is the opposite of the way, the protagonist hits the wall everywhere and is constantly persecuted. , a bit like a black fantasy

Different world reincarnation animation is now more than just Japan. It has a very high popularity in the United States and China. It may be that the world is not limited to the country, and it is often a purely fictional world, so it can be easily accepted by audiences in various countries..

For the development of foreign countries, Tamura decided to do multi-national dubbing at the same time from the beginning, but now only the English match, the dubbing of other countries has not yet been fixed, and multiple languages are open at the same time, so it is still difficult to discuss.

Nowadays, there are more and more dubbed animations in many countries. For example, “SPACE☆DANDY” is famous. At the same time, it is open to the Japanese and English, but even if this number is more and more, it is still a small amount in total. The important reason is that Japanese animations are often done while playing. The seiyuu looks at the unfinished splits or the dubbing of the original paintings. In the production of multi-language dubbing, this does not work, so it is necessary to make the finished product a long time in advance. Come out and then dub, this time, “The Shield of the Brave” is able to achieve the first English match has been overcome a lot of difficulties to achieve

North American’s English-language village also saw it. He felt that it was very close to the match, because he had asked for a request to approach the match, so the foreign voice actors also made relative adjustments, which in the end allowed foreign audiences to enjoy. The purpose of English match is reached

The layout of the production staff.

When Tamura and Kinema Citrus negotiated, they decided to supervise Abao Xiaoxiong, the series to form Xiaoliu Kaiwu, and the character design Suwa Jinhong, which are directly related to “From the Abyss”. Kobayashi Kaiwu has been cooperating with Kinema Citrus. When Abu Takao was doing the original painting, it was heard in Tamura, and Suwa Shinhiro was cooperating when he was doing “Ji Jia Eika” (one of the masters of painting) These are all powerful people, so Tamura can also be assured of the quality of the work

Tamura’s request is to hope that the film will not be lost to overseas TV dramas such as American TV dramas. In addition, the check and confirmation of the role uniformity, because Shangwen has a big change before and after being persecuted, then how to change from what to do, how to not deviate from the original set, Tamura is checked one by one

The original author is also relatively open-minded. For the performance of the screen, the author is fully handed over to the animation producer. When the two sides meet for the first time, the original authorアネコユサギsays “Animation is animated” The way to do it is fine, I only point out that there is something wrong, so Tamura is also very grateful to the original author. The original author of the finished product is also very satisfied. Although it points out some problems in the setting of details, it has to be corrected because it started early

The performance of the setting aspect is the game state UI picture. Because there is an upgrade concept in the film, the world view is a magical world with numerical status, so many online games have been studied, although it is convenient to use the voiceover prompt to “upgrade”. However, because this will disturb the rhythm, I hope to use the screen to explain

Finally, Tamura said that at the time of the interview, high-quality images had been completed, so I hope that everyone will look forward to it. Although it describes the excitement of the different worlds, how the protagonist was betrayed at the beginning, what kind of painful situation is trapped It is impossible for everyone to imagine. However, after all the difficulties can not be beaten, the strong heart of the protagonists is the biggest want to make, in short, the story that allows the audience to feel hope and purification, so please enjoy the end together
