“Electric Light Superman Gulit” is a special hero drama produced by Round Valley Studios and produced by TBS. The time spans 3 quarters, from April 1993 to January 1994 on TBS TV stations every Saturday (Japan time) is broadcasted from 17:30 to 18:00. It tells the story of the 14-year-old boy who was buried in the computer and turned into Gulit, and confronted the evil forces that want to dominate the computer world. .
The short animation “Electric Superman Gulisters invent great hero”, which was produced by TRIGGER and supervised by Yuki Tetsu, took the lead in the “Japan Animation (ー人ー) Exhibition” by Khara in 2015. The first step of the next Gullit plan came out. The new animation “SSSS.GRIDMAN”, which will be launched in October, is an extension of this step. .
On the July 25th, “SSSS.GRIDMAN” was the first release of the first words. In addition to the loyal audience of the special edition “Electric Light Superman Gulit”, it also attracted many first time to know the ancient Litte’s new generation of audience. Retaining the rest of the special edition of the year and emitting new heat in the new work, its biggest performance is the new design of the new design, the modern Hyundai and the new hero Xiang Yutai. .
In the past, the electro-optical superman Gulit was a living body without physical energy. The protagonist Xiang Xiangren entered the computer world through the commander, “Access Flash!”, and made Gulit specialized. In order to protect the world, this time, Gullit is integrated with the new protagonist, Yu Yutai. Xiangyu is just an ordinary teenager. Without Gu Lit’s strength, he can’t fight. Gulit is also the same. Yu Tai can’t be materialized. When the two are united, the new adventure begins. .
The “SSSS” in the new work “SSSS.GRIDMAN” is derived from the title of the US version of Gulit, “Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad”, and the supervision is still carried out by Yu Gongzhe. In the eyes of Yu Gongzhe, Gullit is not a “transformed superman”, but a real machine. This is also the most attractive charm of the rain palace. The design of various auxiliary devices is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The selection of middle school students as the protagonist is also a rare event in the special dramas of the year. There is a huge organization such as the scientific special search team in “Ottoman”, and “Electric Light Superman Gulit” has only neighbors. The daily chores between the two, leaving the audience with more is a sense of intimacy, which is why it makes a difference. In the original work, the enemy of the protagonist was the martial arts of the same grade, and the power of one person gave birth to all the monsters. Yu Gongzhe also appreciates the worldview of the “man-made monster” in his works. .
As a reborn in the new century, in order to maintain the atmosphere in the original, Yugong said that no matter the birth of the monster, the configuration of the characters and the interpersonal relationship, the battle mode of Gullit will be as faithful as possible. Speaking of Gullit, if the impression left is only the battle between the hero and the monster, then it is a failure. How to represent the battle with the monster in the animation, this is only one of the goals of this book, and to really say what the greatest charm of this book is, then only the “Gullit” itself, there is no other choice. .
Because it is a work that has been separated for many years, and it is the present work of rebirth today, Yugong hopes that it will not only be the audience of the “Electric Light Superman Gulit” in the past, but also attract the current audience. It is very important that the design of the elements is very cute at first glance, and it must be emphasized that “because they are children of this type, they will use such a design.” In their daily lives, how Gulit will fight the monsters is an important part of the animation. In addition, because it is based on the story of 2018, Rain Palace hopes that everyone will watch this work as much as possible this year. The original work left a super-advanced computer impression at the time, but some people said that “it was a premature work,” so Rain Palace said that “SSSS.GRIDMAN” is “too much work now”, but instead looks at it later. It will look a bit old, so this year is the best time.
On the production side, there is also a super key person in this game, that is, in the “Gao Zhan” series, “Overweight God Gravion” series, “GUN × SWORD” (gun heart blade), “Magic Girl Lyrical Nanoha THE MOVIE” In 2nd A’s, he worked as a supervisor of mechanical and special effects painting. In this work, Sakada was appointed as the “Director of Hero Painting” and was highly concerned by mechanical painting enthusiasts. What kind of work is this? Putiankou also gave us a detailed answer in the September issue of Animage, and talked about his impression of this work. .
In short, it is the auxiliary rain palace supervision that makes the hero Gulit look handsome and heroic on the screen. The original design was changed to the design for painting, and the posture was set, which required the instruction of Putiankou. In conjunction with the atmosphere, Sakadaguchi needed to draw an impression draft for painting as a reference. In addition, the Tadaguchi also acted. The identity of the painting supervisor participates in the actual painting. This time, Gullit used CG in addition to hand-painting, so it is not only the hand-painted part of the prison, but also the CG modeling and the use of CG lenses. .
牟田口 itself likes the Ottoman style that Goto is currently designing for the “Ottoman” series in recent years. When I first saw the new shape of Gullit, I simply felt “handsome”. Before entering the Round Valley Studios, Goto was an animated original painter. He participated in the painting of the Beast God Lycra, the Robin Hood Adventure, the VIRUS, and the OVA. In the animation of the final chapter of the heat, Sada, at first, thought that the design of Goto was more like an “animated design” than the “special design”. Although the details have changed a lot compared with the past Gullit, the overall view is still the feeling of Gullit, a very good design. .
In this section, the most important thing in shaping Gulit, is to highlight the greatness of Gullit, and the expression after victory is especially important. It is particularly important to note that when Gullit is defeated, he cannot be shown in a miserable manner. Although Gullit was in a difficult position at this time, he would stand up and finally win, and Putiankou personally liked this reversal situation. .
In addition, this time, how to “express special photos with animation” is also a place that Yugong Tetsu supervises very much, which means that you can’t shoot the “reality” side. For example, in the PV there is a picture of a car falling. Normally, the falling of these cars will be crushed, but here it remains the original appearance. Here is the animation to represent the part of the miniature model in the special shot. .
In addition, there are scenes in which the building collapses, and the style of the special shot is also used. The black fragments of the scattered splashes are common in recent special works, and these pieces are very important. .
Rain Palace Supervisor is very concerned about the place and the wires. There are basically wires in front of or behind Gulit and the monsters. Contrast with the things that can be seen everywhere, to contrast the hugeness of Gullit and the monster. .
For the new protagonist who has become a battle between Gullit and the monster, Suda said that he has not yet been able to understand the character, but what is certain is that he gives people the feeling and the general transformation hero is not the same. How such a child was chosen by Guli, and then how to drive the story, the relationship between Yutai and Gullit, these are the highlights of this work. .
Basically, Gullit made a request to Yu Tai, “Please fight with me!” In addition, although I said “after that!”, it does not actually explain that it is basically close to the state of forced combat. The sentence can be said to be the famous saying of this work, and it will also clearly show the relationship between Yutai and Gullit. .
In addition to the “Hero Painting Director” Yudakou Yuji, this lineup of monster design and design is also strong. Nakagawa Shinji, a designer of the “Pingcheng Gotji” series, Maruyama Hiroshi, a designer of the “Pingcheng Ultraman” series, Ichiro, who is well known for his “Bono Circus”, participated in “Silver Mask” and “Idiot” Mann’s veteran designer Yamaguchi Shoji, who was the predecessor of “Pawat Altman” and “New Gigira”, is a famous master in the field of animation specialties. This auxiliary machine is also joined by the mechanical designer Ye Zhonggang. The addition of Lulu Shilang, who created music for such famous works as “New Evangelion”, “Nadi” in the Unbelievable Sea, “New Gigira”, is also an unexpected development.
In addition to music, this work also pays special attention to the sound. The on-site producer, Takeuchi Yasushi, revealed in the interview that especially the audience who likes the original and the Otto series will naturally laugh when they hear certain sound effects. There are various “organs” in it. . In terms of seiyuu, Gu Lie, who has been playing an animated version of Gu Chuanguang, who played the role of Gu Li Te, in the original work, in addition to the new seiyuu, the participation of senior veterans is also a highlight of this work. .
Believe this will definitely bring us a special audio-visual feast. Whether you are a special photographer or a monster, robot animation, this film is definitely a must-see for you in October. .
