The all-metal frenzy is written by the Dong Zhao Er and the four seasons boy as an illustration! Since its publication in 1998, it has been launched in comics, games, animation and other multimedia. Different from the previous light novel works, this book combines strong military and robot elements in the background of the school garden, and its unique style attracts a large audience. .
Automatically draw the third season of “all metal frenzy! The Second Raid (hereinafter referred to as TSR) is 13 years old, the new animation “all metal frenzy! Invisible Victory (hereinafter referred to as IV) has finally broken the silence for many years and started to come out in April this year. This work was produced by the original author He Dongzhao, who is a series of scripts, and produced by XEBEC, the production company of “Mobile Warship Yamato Fuzi” and “Space Battleship Yamato 2199”. In “EVANGELION New Theatrical Edition: Q” As a deputy supervisor, the theater version of “Space Battleship Yamato 2199 Star Patrol Ark” was performed as a performance of the luxury lineup of this supervised post, and received a high attention before the broadcast. .
“IV” was adapted from the story after the 7th volume of the 12-volume long article. The old enemy of the sect, Leonard, was officially dispatched and completely entered the serious development. The animation has just ended Zong Jie’s battle of loneliness (the Nansang article of the novel No. 8 “One Man Force”). In the face of the overwhelmingly powerful organization “amalgam”, how does Zongsuke and Xiaoyao stand out? “Invisible victory”, how will the animation show this story? With regard to the difficult experience of future development and animation, 4Gamer and the Daily News interviewed the producer of the animation, Itotown, to find out. .
From the “TSR” to “IV” in the 13 years, no one is more looking forward to the new animation than Ito. Before the “IV” plan, Kadokawa had proposed a foreign novel “All Metal Frenzy!” Another” is adapted into an animated proposal. In this case, it is better to stop the “metal frenzy!” “This article is animated again, this is the “all metal frenzy!” “The opportunity to restart the animation. .
And this time has a blank period of 13 years, not to choose to reproduce, but to make a sequel, in the case of apparent changes in the audience layer, this is obviously a risky move for the plan. And Ito said that although the animation stopped, but after that, there are still many people who buy plastic models, and the debut in the “Super Robot Wars” series continues the multimedia development. This work has not stopped. Therefore, Ito did not feel uneasy. .
In addition, Ito believes that in the other industrial chains of Kadokawa, in addition to “all metal frenzy! There are no other orthodox “robot works” outside. There are many works in the past, although there are mechanical elements in the works like “Strike Witch”, “Courageous Witch” and “Fleet Collection”, they are not orthodox after all. The robot works precisely because these works attracted a new batch of audiences, and it made Ito seem that there is no need to entangle whether it is a legitimate robotic work. .
The first quarter of the 24th, the second season “all metal frenzy? Fumoffu (campus) all 12 words, the third season “TSR” all 13 words, for those who have not seen the past series of works, this number is too much. .
For this reason, before the launch of “IV”, the 24th edition of the first season will be limited to the form of the trilogy director’s edited version during the theater, so that it can be efficiently re-charged or completed in a short time. 1 season. In addition, including the second quarter and the third season, all three seasons are also distributed on Amazon, Netflix and other network audio-visual platforms, before the “IV” broadcast, the second and third seasons and replay on TOKYO MX TV In preparation for the start of the “IV” broadcast, it is fully visible. .

In the new series of projects, Ito also swears with the production staff, “Let the “all metal frenzy!” burn again!” The production of “IV” was also heatedly discussed with the Dong.
This seiyuu lineup is the soul of the past. As the soul of the animation, the character design, the interior design, the mechanical design, Hai Laochuan and Wu, and the formerly Min Ming also stick to their posts. The rest of the newly added lineup also makes people feel the “IV” momentum. The momentum to be sent. Ito believes that because it is a sequel, even if time passes, the foundation will not change. Of course, because it is a contemporary work, it will show modernity in some places, but the impression of the character will not change much. He Dong also said, “If you want to change, then there is no meaning.” Everything in “IV” is based on the respect and trust of the past series. .
The target audience level of this time is naturally based on the audience who has seen the past series. Ito also hopes to increase the audience who have begun to make up for the work due to “IV”. Ito believes that the new audience is divided into two categories, one is not understood = boring, the second is not understand = more want to know, Ito is more inclined to induce the latter. In addition, Ito also highly recommends these novices from the assembly model, Metal Build these toys, from the game, from the distribution to the pit. .
When the director’s editing version was released in the theater, most of the audience were 30-50 years old, and many of them came with their children. Ito’s 20-year-old son also went to the theater. See this together to watch the “all metal frenzy! The two generations of him made him feel very gratified. .
For this script, which was written by the original author He Dongzhao, Ito talked about the progress of the target of “IV”, the image of the work, the OP and the ED. These are the hard work of the Dong, and of course there are many places that have to be cut off because of the length of time. .
However, the production of TV animation and novels is different. He Dong has participated in many animations. This is clear to anyone. Even if it is different from the original, he hopes that this is the “all-metal of TV animation series.” Frenzy.” .

In the mechanical part such as, this time I used the CG production method for the first time, which also caused a lot of topics. Ito said that there is a lot of ASs on this stage, and there are many ASs in Nansang. It is not easy to make. It is also a “barbarian”. The “stone bow” that Zongsuke rides is different from the general type, so many places must be remodeled. In addition, the body of the “Northwest Wind” and “Hurricane Wind”, which were not necessary to appear, has gradually increased. In “IV”, there must be an AS debut every time, so it is harder to work on CG and mechanical painting than other robot animations. When looking at the script, He Dong will attach a detailed explanation at the end of each time. Even the producers who have already seen the original work will have new discoveries after reading these explanations to further deepen their understanding of the work. .
“All metal frenzy! “The ASs that have appeared in the past are all military-oriented, and the color is relatively simple. The ASs that appear in the Nansang article are various in color and colorful. Because it is an arena, in addition to competition, there is also a layer of entertainment color, so many actions are “intentional”, but also can see the rare movements and pictures in the general robot. ASs that look like toys are mostly on the stage, reflecting the diversity of AS, which is what Ito thinks is worth seeing. Unlike the “barbarians” who used to be rigid in the past, they have the coating of the cheekbones and are more action-packed. .
In the current broadcast animation, Ito’s most favorite scene is at the end of the 4th words, Tessa’s assault on the submarine “Tuatha de Danaan” hit the scene of “the behemoth”. In the scripting phase, Ito thinks that this is a difficult shot in animation, but once it shows up, it will become a famous scene. The extremely aggressive scenes in the final animation also made Ito very satisfied. .
Also in that scene, Tessa’s emotional outburst is also the most exciting scene that Ito has identified in this episode. .
Regarding the subsequent expansion, Ito said that although everyone of “Mymit Silver” will temporarily withdraw, but because they are not present, they can show another “all-metal frenzy” world, please don’t miss it. .
Finally, Ito said that he hopes that the viewers will be able to pay attention to their strong settings while seeing the handsome side of AS on the screen. For example, in the case of launching the “Electronic Camouflage System” (ECS), details such as the opening mode of the cockpit door and the opening and closing of the joint during walking will be displayed in this animation. I hope everyone can pay attention to it. To these details, I didn’t notice it for the first time. After reading it a few times, I might find these “organs.” In addition to these battles, the background music written by Sasuke Toshihiko is also a very noteworthy place. This music can be closely combined with images. The “all-metal world” expressed by sound is also quite attractive. .
