Focus on the decoration and makeup of Shouxue. Interview with Takashi Maekawa, the producer of "The Hades of the Hades",

The new Japanese animation "The Hades of the Hades of the Hades" in Autumn 2022 is adapted from a Chinese-style fantasy novel of the same name written by Kanko Shirakawa. From the sea where the sun sets, a huge strange bird, the Queen Mother appeared. This is a story about the subverting history of the witch, the witch who served Ulian Empress Wulian, Shouxue and Emperor Gao Jun. BN Pictures is responsible for the animation production. This article interviews producer Takashi Maekawa on the reasons for animation and the focus of animation production.

—What is the reason for wanting to animation "The Crown of the Harem"? Maeikawa : It is because of the description of Mr. Kanko Shirakawa that the relationship between Shouxue and Gao Jun deeply attracted me. The two of them treated each other sincerely, leaned against each other, and then slowly deepened their bond. The distance between these two makes me feel very comfortable. In addition, Chunxue was relatively lonely at first, but people who admired her would gradually gather around her. This is the result of her choice and behavior, but this kind of kingly plot resonates with me, which is one of the reasons why I want to be animated. —What part of animating is extra effort? Maekawa : Want to work hard on this - how should animations express the illustrations of Mr. Yu Xiangzi. It is very difficult to make light touch paintings into animations...but our balance of processing is just right. - To coordinate the long plot of the original novel, do you have any communication with Miss Mimi Oshima who is responsible for the series? Maekawa : I told her, "basically, it's focused on Shouxue and Gao Jun." There are many charming characters coming on stage, but we tell the story by trying to follow these two people. In addition, Miss Ojima has also added some unique descriptions of the animation, and viewers can look forward to it in the animation main film. ——So, do you have any requirements for Mr. Takeuchi Minji, who is responsible for character design? Maekawa : I said, "I hope I can pay attention to the decoration and the display of makeup of Shouxue." As an animation, in order to make the picture move, the number of lines must be adjusted during the design stage, so a lot of trial and error was carried out. In addition, we also asked Teacher Yu Xiangzi to depict the original design plan for animation based on different characters. The original case is really beautiful... The next one depicts Mr. Takeuchi's setting painting, which is very handsome, and I am very moved. ——The background is delicate, the video is very beautiful and attractive. Maekawa : Shouxue's eyes, makeup treatment, etc. are all very exciting. Supervisor Chizuki Miyaki and photography supervisor Mr. Aimasa Watanabe had various communications and exchanges, and finally achieved this effect. In addition, audience members should also pay attention to the longevity witchcraft depicted by Mr. Akihei Muramatsu, who is responsible for the CG effect.

—Who is the idea of the silhouette painting performance effect of recalling the scene? Maekawa : It is a creative idea born in the plot of the plot memory, and the joint collaboration of Supervisor Miyaki and Miss Oshima. Because memory scenes appear frequently, if you want to change the feel, you get this idea from the actual silhouette expression techniques. - Shou Xue and Gao Jun give people a cold impression at first glance, but they have a naughty side. I guess many viewers will smile knowingly when their interactions. Do you have any recommended focus after episode 2? Maekawa : Please pay attention to the expression Shouxue showed in the interaction with Gao Jun. At first glance, she gives people a heavy and calm impression, but slowly reveals all kinds of sides.

——Shouxue’s voice actor Miss Shuo Mizuno, Gao Jun’s voice actor Mr. Masazhang Mizuna. Please talk about the situation of the two-person-centric recording studio. Maekawa : The atmosphere is very harmonious and harmonious.Because there are many special terms, people initially struggled with pronunciation and stress. In addition, since Miss Mizuno needs to perform in her unique wording, the sequence may be a particularly hard fight. —Thank you very much for your comments. So, please give a few simple words to readers who are looking forward to the story after episode 2. Maekawa : The lonely Shouxue, her relationship with Gao Jun, will also change herself as she changes. The gap between Shouxue's mission and his own thoughts made her very painful, which must be a heavy part for the audience. In addition, as the story progresses, more people will also increase. I would be very happy if the audience could feel a little healing from Gao Jun and others who were snuggling to such a Shouxue.
