The “High Score Girl”, which was launched on the 13th of this month, is a story about the arcade hall in the 1990s. The game has appeared in the game “Quick Whirlwind” and “Devil’s Village”. The male protagonist Yaguchi Haruhito is not learning to exercise, but the love for arcade games and video games will not be lost to anyone, especially fighting games. The old gamer of “Street Fighter 2”, the host Gu Lie, claiming to be “Hao Chunxiong.” For him, the arcade hall is undoubtedly an irreplaceable sanctuary. In this sanctuary, he met the strong opponent He Yejing that he had never seen before. Ohno is a great lady who is both talented and proficient in cultural relics. Indifferent personality, so that people around can not guess the mind, often use violent means to express their ideas to Chunxiong, especially in the fighting game, the role of strong attack. Why is such a big lady coming to the arcade hall? The game battle between the two started this summer. .

Positive animation was launched, and the “Animage” July issue also interviewed the production of this book, including Matsukura Yuji and the producer Tsuruoka Shinagawa, talking about the charm of the original work and the stage behind the production. .

When Matsukura first read this work, he realized that people over the age of 30 will see special memories in the mind of this work. Animation will also be done in the middle school, but mainly in the first half of the 1990s. Matsukura had already entered J.C.STAFF at that time. Although he was busy in the animation industry, he would go to the arcade hall if he had time. .

Tsuruoka is just the same age as the original author, Mr. Alice, who is the same age, so their youth is basically on the same track, and they have experienced the arcade culture at that time. As described in Matsukura, when Tsuruoka read this original work, he first missed the arcade culture and video games at that time. In addition, Tsuruoka has a good impression of this kind of triangular relationship. Such a wonderful combination is undoubtedly hitting his key. In the past, the arcade hall that Tsuruoka often went to was a boy. At that time, everyone should have had such a delusion. “If there are girls who have good play, how good is it…”

Regarding the charm of Chunxiong and Jing, Matsukura said that he is very similar to Chunxiong. His performance in the school is not very good, but when he gets to the game, he is proud of it. This is easy to project Chunxiong to himself. Moreover, Chunxiong is kind and good. Jing is very good when he is with him. He can also show the usual unknown side. Tsuruoka also said that Jing is a girl who doesn’t talk much. More often, she uses games to express her feelings. This is sure to be the focus of everyone’s attention. .

Speaking of the impression of the two people, the most impressive impression of Matsukura was when Chunxiong and Jinggang met in the arcade hall. Jinggang saw that the image of Chunxiong was a dirty guy. Chunxiong was just a crystal. The fate of the opponent. Gradually, through the game, the two opened their hearts to each other, which is also the greatest charm of this book. .

Regarding the characters that Chunxiong and Jing like to use in the game, Ohno likes the power-type character, and Chunxiong uses the ancient spirit. However, in the later “Street Fighter 2” series, Gu Lie’s moves have not been added for some time, but Chunxiong still only uses Gu Lie, and Hegang thinks that Chunxiong must have any obsession with Gu Lie, which is also He is very concerned about it. .

Speaking of the game in the play, it is not easy to get these usage rights when the animation is adapted. In this regard, Anitama has also had a detailed introduction in the past, so I won’t go into details here. In particular, most of the games used are old games, and when they are adapted into animations, they are strongly required to use the actual game screens, music, sounds, and sound effects locally, so the general spoof works cannot be compared. The inability to use a similar game must be the meaning of the adaptation of the game at the time, so the work ran from the beginning of the project and took quite a bit of time. Thanks to the understanding and assistance of these game companies, the animation project was realized. .

Matsukura said that at the production site, everyone was looking for the machine in the arcade hall, not only in Tokyo, but also in many foreign counties. In order to use the actual game screen and sound directly in the animation, it takes a lot of effort. The dot matrix sense of the character is retained, and it has been tried many times in the picture of the picture tube.

Finally, with the animation, Tsuruoka expressed the hope that the audience in front of the TV can feel the love comedy of Chunxiong like them, and experience these nostalgic games. The game that was originally drawn in the game will be restored as much as possible, and there will be new discoveries when watching the animation repeatedly. In addition, Tsuruoka also hopes to attract the friends who often watch the game live and e-sports, and experience the fun of the animation in the animation. Matsukura also added that because it is the story of the 90s, the animation will also be meticulously researched to restore the atmosphere in the arcade hall. With the growth of Chunxiong, the atmosphere of the arcade hall will change. I hope that everyone can work with them to realize the nostalgic changes of the times as the story unfolds. .
