Interview with the producer, Furusawa Yoshihiro (Touhou)
- Have any point about the manga get animated?
I know the original manga from before. Every time I saw it on a bookstore, I though about it get animated, so I really excited that this time it'll be actualized. Anyway, all the appearing characters is unique and cool, so I want to surely make the highlight scene of each of them. I want to make this a project that can be enjoyed by everyone, old and young, man and woman.
- This time, a really gorgeous staff and cast are sorted.
Yes, wonderful persons are gathered. A united production team lead by Nishimura Junji, BGM by Tanaka Kouhei, it's really a luxury! Fukuyama Jun, first time starring for a manga serialized in "Weekly Shounen Jump", also showed extraordinary determination at all-staff gathering* after the pre-production purify rite and made the tension up.
Depends on the story number, the post-sync can exceeds 20 people, the work and the scene won't be easy to handle.
(*) In an anime where a lot of staff and cast involved, there's a little chance for all of them to gathered, but this time the unusual meeting held because of strong will of the producers.
- Is there any character you secretly have hope for?
Even from the characters in the original manga, the thing that I like Nattou-kozou is the same with director Nishimura (lol). When Oka Mariko's character design done, I'm so excited because Kana, Yuki-onna and Yura looks really good. Personally, I have specially high hopes for the girls trio Katate size (片手☆SIZE)*
(*) Unit name of the three in vol 4 page 182 of the manga.
NOTE:It's a 4-koma for new year where Rikuo dreamed that Tsurara, Yura, Kana became idol unit and sang "TKG shika aisenai/I can only love TKG" (
tamago-kake gohan/rice mixed with raw egg and shouyu)
- Finally, please give a highlight and message for all the fan.
