During the anime boom, animators were, how to put it...
not stars, but something like that. They were idolized.
I am an animator in my roots.
I started as an animator and became a director among other things.
Where do you begin creating anime?
People call them good scenes.
You first make scenes that become the keystones.
For Baki, that's the fighters' special poses.
Stuff like that.
The best scenes in fighting are the KO's.
It just looks good when they have a clean execution.
For anime, you first put images like that in your head.
And build around them.
Since I'm an animator, I first think about what I want to show the most.
That's kind of how it goes. After that, I glue everything else to it.
When you're creating film based on manga,
breaking it apart and rebuilding is the way to go.
But for Baki, we thought about sticking to the manga. That part was set in stone.
When did you decide to work in anime?
I never wanted to work in anime.
-You never wanted to? -I wanted to be a manga artist.
Is that so?
So do you often visit Mandarake shops?
I go occasionally, as TMS is located in Nakano,
and there is a Mandarake shop there.
So it's like a mecca there.
You have the studio, and the original Mandarake nearby.
-Yes. -What do you look at while you're there?
Well, I look at the figures and used books.
You see, there aren't that many bookstores nowadays.
Indeed.
So for manga, you have to go to manga shops to buy them.
Or even look at them. So I just have to.
And, the size of their archives is staggering.
When do you come up with ideas?
Usually in the shower.
Well, when you are, you can't take notes, can you?
Right. So I hurry out to jot things down.
-Oh, really? -Yes, or I'd forget.
So you're drawing scenes buck naked...?
Not really. I do dry myself. A quick work of the towel, then off with the pen.
Rough sketches?
-More like short memos. -Memos straight out of the shower.
I'm used to being alone.
What was the last word you Googled?
"Netflix."
And now you've become the director of Baki.
So was it fun drawing Hanayama for the series?
Hanayama doesn't have much screen time!
If you had to fight against one of those Death Row inmates,
who would you pick?
I can't fight. They'd take me down instantly.
What is your favorite line from Baki?
My favorite line from Baki...
"I don't give a fuck."
I'm immortal. Sushi like anime, what?
I'm sure death metal is...
created from an overdrive of rock elements to the limits.
It's abnormal... something abnormal.
There's something like that in fashion too. It's called Gothic-Lolita.
Motorcyclists have those choppers.
Every industry has its abnormalities.
Such abnormalities go by their own rules.
They liberate people bound by the mundane.
That's their function in this world.
There's a character in Durarara!! that talks using a smartphone.
I had thought it was adorable,
so I tried it myself when the perfect app for that came out.
My previous comment was just a joke.
I use an app because I injured my throat.
I previously recorded my voice into the app for several hours,
and now the app converts the typed text into speech for me.
What is Kengan Ashura about?
Disputes and rules between companies
are not fought directly, legal or otherwise.
Instead, each company hires fighters who settle things with combat.
It's a very simple story about violence and politics.
Mr. Kishi first explained to me
that he wanted to create an entire series from just CG.
Basically, the main component of Kengan Ashura are the fighters' bodies
so I think it was something like:
"How about we draw muscles like how we draw armor?"
I was sold.
Mr. Kishi said that when people were done watching Kengan Ashura,
he didn't want them to think they watched a CG movie
but feel they watched an ordinary Japanese anime.
He wanted visual expressions like regular anime
so nobody would realize that it's CG.
I believe that was his theme.
This series is, in one word, about fighting.
It's uncommon for animation, so you could say it's unique.
My inspiration?
They really come to me when I'm least thinking about it.
I get ideas during everyday life, like when I'm taking a bath.
Ideas really spring to life during times like that.
I do work out at the gym.
I do make an effort to go and work out.
Japanese animation is a hand-made 3D art.
That kind of animation is what the industry has developed into.
So I wanted to try it out for this series.
About whether or not it's rough for my staff?
Well, it's rough. It really is tough for them.
They hand-create the art for each and every frame.
In that aspect, I feel the final project really screams out "Made in Japan."
I met all the martial artists
who participated for the first time with this project.
We all went to the original Gold's Gym in Los Angeles one morning.
When we did, we just happened to meet Schwarzenegger.
We were able to shake hands with him, and he okayed taking a picture with us.
We went to Anime Expo.
Our director went to Gold's Gym, and was able to meet Schwarzenegger.
Where were you at the time, Mr. Higa?
At Gold's Gym, obviously!
We actually have real martial artists fight out the combat scenes on this floor.
We then take their footage as the base for drawing each frame of CG.
We really had them punching and kicking.
We then controlled the speed to make it look more awesome.
We're creating the CG by hand. It's not motion-capture.
We didn't put devices on the fighters like you do in motion-capture.
We create each combat scene by hand.
That's the director's concept we're running with.
What I don't like about our director...
Well, he's a bit...
How should I say this? What should I do?
What I don't like is actually what I love about him.
That man is just insane.
Mr. Kishi really is insane.
So everyone else around him starts becoming dumber and dumber.
Children are waiting for our anime!
Sorry! Sorry!
Seiji, Seiji! Telephone hello.
Japanese animation, that is, Toei Animation,
started right after Japan lost the war. It was based on Disney.
It was a brand-new industry.
It was a way to give kids hope after losing the war.
That's how Toei Animation began.
Yes, I'll definitely be watching.
I've watched Toei Animation for a long time.
For example, Slamdunk, Dragon Ball Z, Digimon.
I do some illustrating myself,
so I watch it like a student would, for my own drawings.
Since they're making it with CGI
there might be some former fans who won't be able to accept it,
but the way I see it, it's for the sake of the younger generation,
so I'm interested to see how it will turn out.
That's why Toei Animation's target audience is always kids.
That's why they make anime that makes them happy.
And that's something they shouldn't stray from.
I really love the phrase "Friendship, Effort, Victory."
How to teach that to kids is where the love in anime is.
Do you have COSMO?
I'm already 70 so it's almost gone, but it's still there.
When a movie is done,
or when I finish a TV show, I am liberated from stress.
Until then, I'm a clump of stress.
I'd guess it's the COSMO that keeps me creating anime.
Saint Seiya! Every young boy is...
Saint Seiya!
Something like this.
When I first heard the melody for "A Cruel Angel's Thesis,"
I thought, "Wow, this is such a difficult song!"
I don't know how many times I've sung it,
but I think the count is in the tens of thousands.
The audience reaction changes with each country,
but they all sing in Japanese with me.
They surprise me every time.
Today's costume was again designed by my stylist Chica Hanashima.
-What's your inspiration for the costume? -This time, it's a queen.
Queen!
I don't make that many phone calls before concerts,
but if I do, I call my daughter.
Oh, she hung up on me.
My favorite episode in Evangelion is the final episode.
I like the last episode of Evangelion despite having mixed reviews.
Everyone has their opinions.
I felt that those scenes were the most philosophical,
and for me, it felt like an awakening.
That's why I like it.
Philosophy in the song lyrics...
I think it depends on how you interpret them.
In my head, the part, "Young man, become a myth" ultimately...
feels very profound as I sing it.
Well, I'd like to call my manager now.
Hello?
Where are you now?
I'm outside.
Where is outside?
Eh? Outside is outside.
Do your best in the actual performance.
Yup, I'll do my best!
-Bye. Take care. -Thank you. Bye.
I never wanted to be a professional singer.
I get extremely nervous before going on-stage.
Doraemon.
Aikatsu Friends.
Pretty Cure!
So cute!
Such a big head!
There are rumors that there's an old guy inside Rilakkuma.
Those are just rumors, right?
I've heard people say it might be Kaoru's father inside.
Rumors, right?
This is how we go about creating stop-motion animation.
The first thing we have to do is
assemble everything that appears on camera.
First we make the puppets, create the artwork, create the rooms,
in this case, create the puppets for Rilakkuma and the humans.
And then, we start moving the puppets.
As for how long it takes to create stop-motion animation--
It takes a whole day for a single animator to shoot 10 seconds.
I love the zipper on Rilakkuma's back.
The reason why Kaoru needs Rilakkuma
is because he's so soft and warm, and I think she can't give him up.
I don't think that Kaoru's really struggling in life.
I think there's a time when every one of us
feels like nothing's going right.
So, I think it goes to show that Kaoru is just normal,
like the rest of us.
I think it's important to take it easy
because if you keep yourself too busy,
you might end up forgetting to be nice to others.
If you don't relax, food won't taste that good anymore.
Sweet dumplings? I love sweet dumplings.
My favorites are the ones
in a sweet-and-salty glaze of soy sauce and sugar.
Those soy sauce ones are my favorites, too.
I would love some. May I?
Please bring me some yummy dumplings, too.
In the script, we included the main events from each month
celebrated in Japan from April to March.
About the seasons,
we calculated the sun's position over 12 months to create the lighting.
We also used snow and cherry blossoms to illustrate the seasons.
I wanted everyone to be able to relate to her.
This was the first time we used stop-motion animation
so I knew we could do things that we never could with live-action
so I wanted to let my imagination run wild... to explode.
And have it lead me to a totally different world.
The name "Rarecho" is from my amateur days.
I was using it as my internet screen-name. It doesn't really mean anything.
It's something I randomly came up with.
And now that I'm 46, the fact that I still go by that name...
does make me think, "Well, isn't this a problem!"
I am the character designer,
who chooses how characters look and how they act in Aggretsuko.
I'm wearing this mask because...
I'm a bit shy.
When I first made my presentation to Sanrio,
instead of voicing everything myself like I usually do,
I asked my wife to voice the lead female instead.
Sanrio fell in love with her voice and wanted her in the cast.
I was like, "Really? Seriously? We're doing this?"
My name is Retsuko.
25-years-old and single. A Scorpio, blood-type A.
Retsuko is made of many people's stories.
She is a mixture of several people I know.
An example of inspiration from experience...
Take the story where Retsuko went to work, wearing her sandals in episode one.
I've done that several times already.
This was how Retsuko started out.
Director Gori and Washimi were much more realistic.
My body wasn't made to sing death metal. It's been a struggle.
I started singing because I didn't know anyone I could ask.
So I thought, "Oh, well, guess I'll do it myself."
I Googled how, and practiced for a month.
"Death voice" isn't made for microphones like these.
Tea.
Excuse me?
Why Death Metal?
When my friend grunted while griping it sounded like death metal.
So, I thought death metal would fit right in.
That's why Retsuko started singing.
The themes in Aggretsuko,
like when Retsuko gets sick of serving tea,
have been in Japanese comedy for the past three decades.
I was surprised people overseas found it funny.
But, then, with the recent #MeToo movement
perhaps the world hasn't evolved as much as I had thought.
It's part of your job, too. For the women, that is!
Shitty boss!
If I had free time...
I would like to sleep.
Last thing I Googled? I think that would be an "ego-search."
My own name.
But, well, since you can skip intros and endings on Netflix,
not many people know who I am.
End of the world Karaoke all alone Heal all the pain from my office job
Choke on my rage!
7SEEDS is about a world where humans went extinct
from catastrophic natural disasters.
The connection between the world of 7SEEDS and our own?
Actually, the conditions are different,
but I feel similar things are happening in our world and their world.
During the creative process,
as we draw out how the protagonists behave,
and as I'm directing their movements, it felt like this was actually present day
and that their situation was similar to the one that we've been put into.
I think it's a great series with characters that stand out.
7SEEDS is a really interesting series!
I really love 7SEEDS!
7SEEDS is so interesting! It's the best!
7SEEDS!
The reason why 7SEEDS is so popular among females
is because each female character is powerful in different ways
and the male characters can be either kind or strong.
I believe each character is very appealing in their own way.
The meaning of "7SEEDS" is literally that of seven seeds.
Each of the boys and girls sent to the future is a "seed."
Where 7SEEDS differs from other girls' manga is how,
unlike most girls' manga that focus on romance,
this series takes a different approach
and talks about a deeper theme of survival.
If I was not a part of the animation industry
I believe I would be doing something related to astronomy.
I used to want to be a chef.
I think I'd be really good at it.
If I wasn't in the animation business?
That's a very dangerous question.
Since I was a student, I'd be working 20 hours straight every day
making movies while running myself into the ground.
Creating anything in film turns you into a clump of stress.
If I had free time, I'd sleep six hours a day.
If I had free time...
I would like to sleep.
Your next step?
To live an easy life?
When I was singing Ultraman's song for my son,
he asked me, "What's that song?"
I said this is Ultraman's song. Then, he started loving Ultraman.
We watched old series and new series.
We both love Ultraman. Ultraman pose.
I used to want to design cars.
I think I'd like to have done that for a living.
The first thing I ever directed was Madox 01.
It was a short, 40 minutes Original Video Animation, OVA.
The first show I directed was Patlabor Minimum.
These short movies that accompany the OP for a show called Patlabor.
I did hand-drawn animation for decades.
Then something came along
that would bring out both our designs and worldviews even more.
Like computer graphics. It was all over the news,
and I thought, "This is the way to go from now on."
Without a doubt, that would be the first APPLESEED movie.
It was my first time using motion capture,
and rendering everything in 3DCG.
I think I've been involved with Ghost in the Shell the longest.
There were two series, after all.
I also made one feature-length theatrical film.
Eden of the East was my first completely original title.
One of the films that I spent a lot of time on was Captain Harlock,
a full CG film.
I think it took more than five years to complete.
I don't remember all the details,
but I think Mr. Aramaki initially wanted to create
a different Ghost in the Shell series.
It was at a party,
and producer Ishikawa happened to be sitting next to me.
I thought I'd just ask him for the heck of it,
since he was right there.
So, it was decided that Mr. Aramaki and I
would make a Ghost in the Shell series together.
But, we were both directing other projects,
and we couldn't get started right away,
but there was another project in the works.
It was Ultraman and they offered it to us.
Since we're both from the generation
that grew up watching the first Ultraman shows,
we were both really passionate about it.
In terms of visuals, sure...
jaw-dropping action scenes are great and all,
but since the CG is motion capture-based
the humans look more human
as well as more raw.
It's that fusion of human rawness and anime's deformé style
that I want to pursue to the limit.
I really can't stand the repetitive tasks. I wish we could use computers
for all of that.
3DCG involves numerous processes
and elements to produce visuals.
Now, I'd like to explain each process to you.
This is part of an animatic.
This raw data allows us to experiment so we can figure out
how we can create the powerful scenes we have in our heads.
Then, you start the modeling process.
I wanted the fist to get smashed more and sink into the flesh.
And I wanted the place where it landed to bulge out here.
This is an effect.
Here you can see the impact of the punch is so powerful
the steam inside this muscle is leaking out.
I really want it to come out from the crack,
but it would be so much work to make it come out from the crack.
So, the steam emerges from the surface.
You can tell that we're cheating this shot.
As for the lighting,
the reason I have so much light hitting the ring
is because I wanted to create a sense of flashing during the characters' fight.
The characters' emotions are linked to the color of the light.
I was hung up on using the flashing
in an effective way.
My goal isn't so much about reproducing Japan's anime in 3DCG.
But, rather, I'd like to take the American comics, graphic novels,
bandes dessinées that I love so much...
and find a way to somehow set them in motion in that style.
That's my goal.

What is the climactic moment in season 2?
I cannot tell you.
I get ideas during everyday life like when I'm taking a bath.
Bath time.
It can be when I'm in the bath...
Usually in the shower.
They hit me at all times, like when I'm taking a walk.
The commute home.
...or just strolling around the area.
Ideas don't pick a place or time.
