It may not be easy to adapt a work into an anime. That’s why it’s essential to stay true to yourself. By sharing the same “feelings” among the staff, we aimed for the highest quality.
“For example, even if we brought in a very talented animator, it would be meaningless if they didn’t understand the theme and why we were spending so much time on this work.
The members who gathered were filled with a strong desire to make this work a great one and to convey the appeal of the work, so I wanted to work with Enishiya. As long as that desire exists, we will be able to run through to the end.
When I asked, “There must be a lot of difficulties?”…
“Not that much. Of course, there are challenging aspects, such as making adjustments. Still, I had a thorough discussion with the original author at the beginning about the direction, and I view these difficulties as essential to creating a work, so I try not to think of them as obstacles. I’m unable to handle the practical aspects of production, so instead, I focus on helping the people on site see things through to the end. I think that’s the true nature of a producer.”
There seem to have been many challenges in animating “Tacopi no Gensin.” Although it may be noted for its shocking aspects, it is packed with more than just that. I hope you will receive those “feelings.”
