“SSSS.GRIDMAN” which is not completely burned

The animation work “SSSS.GRIDMAN” produced by TRIGGER and adapted from the special film “Electric Light Superman Gulit” broadcasted by Round Valley Production in 1993 is still full of heat, and a special event was held on February 3rd. SSSS.GRIDMAN SHOW 01”. The entertainment station took this opportunity to interview the Yugong Tetsu Supervisor, who was passionate about this work, from the tribute to the original work and the boundaries between the old works and the “Evangelion” (hereinafter referred to as “EVA”) and other round valleys. The influence of the special work, in order to make this “bridge connecting animation and special photography”, how does the rain palace supervision perform?

First, Yuki said that the friend relationship described in the original “Electric Light Superman Gulit” made the final direction of the animated version “SSSS.GRIDMAN”. The character design is also particularly aware that because it is to be published in an animated magazine, it is designed to conform to the current style. When it is reviewed again after many years, it will feel “this is the design of 2018”. Just like the “Electric Light Superman Gulit”, the review of this part will now feel old, not only the design of Gullit, but also the atmosphere of that era

For the tone of the character in the play, Rain Palace said that at first it was hoped that the dialogue between them should not be too animated. The expansion of each word is actually very simple, that is, the monster debuts, and finally the Gulet launches the light and knocks it down, so as the opening of the story, it will become more interesting to stay away from the false expansion. After all, how to really start, how to perform handsomely, and finally, a trick of light to bring down the monster and finally an animation of the big bang. This rain palace is also often hung in my heart

Rain Palace likes this point in the original work that is not good at communication. And the story itself is not about destroying the earth so much, but in the children’s society, which is also very interesting. This is also because the special photos of the middle school students are not common, and this setting is more like animation. The design is more suitable for animation than Altman, and the animation is good

Speaking of the new article and the name of the Gullit Knight are actually quoted from the past hidden settings and sequel planning, Rain Palace said that he has always fixed the role name to consider the story, so quote these The name is naturally “prompted”. But it doesn’t mean that what I have to do is the sequel of the original. There is no such idea. It is important to explain how to make such a setting and how to describe it. Therefore, it is only a hint of the “if” story. However, the rain palace said that he really wants to see the Gullit Knight

“SSSS.GRIDMAN” can also be seen as the story of Gullit in order to save the new article in his own world, but Rain Palace said that he did not intend to let 茜 as the heroine. Because she is a villain, this story was established, in other words, the opposite protagonist. In this work, Rain Palace hopes to describe the positive conflict between what he thinks is right and what is wrong

Therefore, Gullit is an absolute hero, always standing on the right side, although it is correct, but can not directly solve the problem. There was also a line in the middle of the road, “Which side is right, it will hit”. But Gullit can’t say such irrelevant words, and the theory is always just a theory. That is to say, it is no problem to make an answer. What is important is the process of pursuing the answer. I hope this work will let everyone think about this process

新条茜 Although they created one monster after another under the instigation of Alex, but when the 10th word stabbed the protagonist Yu Tai, she also said this sentence, “I also I want to talk to Gullit.” Rain Palace said that 茜 occasionally reveals a very human part, just want to describe the side of her slag, a very bad role. In reality, no one should think that people who step on the bread will die, although the twisted part is enlarged, but this is actually to describe her being brainwashed by Alex. So in her mind, even if there is only one point, it also has the possibility of becoming a hero

Although this is a bit like the villain of the original villain, but the rain palace thinks that it is more terrible than the history of Wu. Because it was originally intended to make a character that at least matched the martial arts, it was such a quirky character. However, she has the same human side as Wu Shi

The depiction of the seasons in the works is also very interesting. For example, in the 8th words, the cultural festival was held in October, but the atmosphere still has a summer atmosphere. In the film, you can see the blue sky everywhere and hear the humming. Rain Palace said that before the idea of such a picture, the impression of the first sound is first. The sound is the most commonly used sound without adding background music. I want to show that although I entered the second semester, the students Still feelings of reluctance in the summer. At the same time, it can also show that the world has a “vulnerability”, the season is unchanged = the meaning of the world stop, so I want to make the audience realize that the summer is still going on. In addition, Yuki said that the impression was about three years ago, obviously it was October but it was too hot. This is certainly not the main reason, and more likely to be affected by EVA

The performance of “EVA” in this work is all over the place. After all, “EVA” is also the most influential work on Yu Gongzhe. In the eyes of the rain palace, “EVA” is supreme. Even if it is not animated, it may be similar to “EVA”. After all, the generation who grew up watching “EVA” has long been stunned, and that feeling continues to this day. After the “EVA” boom, the deeply affected animation works are endless. Rain Palace said that it was a pity that he was a student and did not participate in animation work. Now he wants to make a world-class work like “EVA”

In the “SSSS.GRIDMAN”, Yugong said that only the first half is consciously paying tribute to “EVA”. Of course, the rain palace personally likes the second half, but it is also because of “EVA”. The first half of the game can lead to the second half of the expansion. There are so many people in the industry who like “EVA”, and the rain palace does not accept the loss, so we must show our love in the animation to make everyone feel. Although the rain palace also understands that it is not very good to put too much selfishness in the works, “but when it comes to “EVA”, who can calm down!” So when I got to the last three words of “SSSS.GRIDMAN”, I actually thought The consciousness to maintain the first half of EVA has become weak, but it may leave “marks”. After all, the subconscious can’t calm down

Rain Palace said that he often sees some comments saying that he created the world purely because of his own preferences. He is a tribute to the movie version of “Fuxing Kid 2, a Dreamy Man” who is supervised by Oshii. Yugong said that he also liked “Fuxing Xiaozi 2, a beautiful dreamer”. The structure of the world also caused a sensation in the same year. After many years, this part was also inherited by “The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya”. Because the rain palace also likes “The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya”, it is possible that this setting is used without any awareness. This setting has a similar impression in the work of “Unlimited Zone 23”, so it is not clear which works are influenced by which works, but in general, the works like this are correct. It is clear that the work that I realize is the final return of “Otto Q”

Rain Palace said that when I first watched the final return of “Otto Q”, I saw that it was a fog, and the writer entered the world of his own creation of “Different Trains” and could not return. But now as an animator, Rain Palace laughs and says that he can understand the mood too much. In that chapter, people who were abducted by the alien trains thought of going back to the real world, but eventually found themselves tired of the real world, hoping that the different-dimensional trains would take them away. Seeing this, the Rain Palace thought, “Sure enough, everyone still wants to be in the virtual world?” Of course, because it can’t come out after entering, this is very problematic, so the structure of “cannot enter the world of creation” It’s on the shackles, and I hope everyone can revisit this work

Yugong Supervisor also personally participated in the role song of “茜もっと君を知りたい” In the creation of this song, this song is actually the candidate for the most ending songs. In the alternate songs, the rain palace personally likes this one, but the ending song is determined by the end of the film, Nakamura, so the song is buried. It is. However, the rain palace does not like such a good song, so it is so gone. I hope that it will be available in other forms. In the end, there will be a character song written by the rain palace supervision. I didn’t expect to be able to rescue this song in the form of a character song, or to confess it myself. “There has never been such a happy thing.”

Rain Palace said that some people in the production team did not understand what role they were. Because it is a villain, it is not normal to understand. Rain Palace wants to be as simple as possible in shaping this role. Although it is the first time to challenge lyrics, it is not too difficult. It is impossible to fully understand other characters. If you thoroughly understand the structure of a character, then this person will become thinner, it would be better to leave the idea of “I don’t understand this person”. However, this type of person is almost non-existent in reality, so instead, let everyone know her as much as possible

The second part of the lyrics of the song shows the relationship with the six flowers. But in the end, I only care about my own affairs. She is also troubled, but because she is full of her own things, so I can’t see the surroundings. This is also a very embarrassing performance. The lyrics of this song were written in the middle of the rain in the middle of the night. When I woke up, I read it again and found it too straightforward. Sure enough, there is no disgusting part that is not interesting enough. To show the characteristics of jealousy, even if there is no such content, there is no way to win

Finally, regarding the work of “SSSS.GRIDMAN”, Yugong said that when it was completed, it was already satisfied for himself. The surrounding people also said that it is their honor to participate in this work. Deeply pleased. Although there is still room for improvement, there is absolutely no idea that “the things that I want to do have been completed, and that everything I want to do is burned into this work.”

I have always been animating that I will feel that neither my own work nor someone else’s work ends in an incompletely burning state, this time ending in an incompletely burning state. It’s not a good thing to burn out, because incomplete combustion means leaving a fire and turning it into the next job. I hope that this work will meet the audience in other forms in the future
