“Water Breathing” reminds me of my childhood

The TV animation “The Blade of the Ghost”, which was serialized in the weekly magazine JUMP, was released in April. MANTAN-WEB had previously interviewed the producer of the film, Takahashi Yuma, who is in the 4th class of the Aniplex Planning Department, and talked about the charms and animation adaptations of this book

This is about the main character of the stove, the charcoal lang, in order to make the devil’s sister, the peas, return to humanity, in order to revenge for the family, joined the scam ghost organization, determined to follow the path of the “ghost team” The story of growing up before, has the enthusiasm of the ancestral music of the young man’s cartoons and the sorrow of people and ghosts. The animation is the ufotable that is familiar to the “Legend” series and the “Theatrical version of “Fate/stay night[HF]”.]

“Make the best “Ghost Blade”! “It is all the instructions that Takahashi gave to ufotable. Takahashi himself likes this work very much. “What is good for “Ghost Blade”? “What can I do to bring the charm of “Ghost Blade” to the limit? “It is a subject that Takahashi and the animators and seiyuu must face.

For example, in the 1st words, Tomioka Yoshito asked the charity lord the question of “the right to kill and seize”, which was first completed in painting. After the coloring, the finished scene is far less than the original force. “Why is there such a feeling?” After discussing with the production team, Takahashi finally made three and five changes in the shades and tones of the outline painting, and finally completed such a powerful image.

In order to achieve the desired level, Takahashi said All the work will be at all costs, including video, music, sound, and the background music of each story, also adopts the way of film soundtrack, which is beyond the reach of most TV animations

When I saw the sword of “The Breath of Water”, which was expressed in an animated way, Takahashi had the feeling of returning to childhood. When I saw my favorite comics become animated, the kind of excitement and excitement The picture of “Water Breathing” combines painting and 3DCG. In order to produce such a performance, Yusuke Haruki’s supervisor and the production team racked their brains, in order to combine the action with the impactful visual effects. Many attempts and failures. The performance of “Water Breathing” is based on the impression of “The ukiyo-e of Katsushika Hokusai”. It is difficult to do it lightly. It is the first time I saw it. Takahashi was also surprised by the animated performance.

For example, the folds on the clothes of Tanjiro and Yiyong are also carefully overlapped by painting one by one, so that they can move so naturally. It is also to enable the audience to better focus on the plot and role.

For the future expansion, Chardon Lang, who joined the Ghost Killer, will perform his first mission after the sixth. The confrontation between the confrontation and the new partner, the characters appearing in the title will also be debuted, and the story will be slowly spread out. I hope that the audience can read the weekly magazine on the page one by watching the animation of the whole 26 words. Juvenile JUMP, you can feel fresh every week, and look forward to the next week with excitement!
