In addition, in the ANIME HERITAGE area, we will promote the digitization of historically valuable analog materials and post interviews and dialogues with famous creators.
In late September, producer Michihiko Suwa, who worked on “Detective Conan” and “City Hunter,” will interview veteran voice actors. !” Dialogue Corner with Legendary Voice Actors” has started. It is scheduled to be published once or twice a month, with Michio Hazama appearing in the first issue.
Mr. Masuo Ueda, the director of “ANIMUSE” and former producer at Sunrise, talks about his 20 years of involvement with Gundam, from “Mobile Suit Gundam” to “Turn A Gundam.” “Gundam Last Shouting” will also be published monthly or monthly.
“ANIMUSE” is designed by Masahiro Maeda (color) with the concept of “a museum in an imaginary outer space” with the world view of “The Wings of Honneamise” as a motif. Shigeru Morita (Studio Nue) is writing the concept story that will be the backbone.
Below are comments from people involved in the opening. Floating in outer space on a satellite orbit, “ANIMUSE” aims to exhibit and archive content (knowledge). Set up in The mosaic is generated using the optimized technique of quantum annealing. Each piece of content that is composed is an asset and the most excellent value for the work or creator. Beginning with the generation of mosaic paintings entering the exhibition space, the contents that make up the result appear in a spiral shape that symbolizes DNA in the virtual space. You can feel the breath of Please enjoy the birth of such a new (metaverse) museum & archive.
The joys and sorrows of life in the TV animation “City Hunter” and “Inuyasha”? Mr. Masuo Ueda, a senior with me, is about to do something big again. It’s been 36 years since we first met, and I’m always amazed by Ueda’s planning bulldozer skills, which are all about moving forward. And it has happened again this time. The completed form will probably be an excellent site, but first of all, as a start, I would like to look at the destination together!
The first thing I thought about the design of this time was that it would be a monument and museum honoring the astronaut’s built-in satellite orbit in the future in line with the worldview of the “royal.”
Since I had no idea how much the exhibition would be, I decided from the beginning that the structure should be modular and expandable.
The same is true for the ISS and the Mule. If the interior space is a general art museum, there is a top and bottom, the height of the ceiling, and the size of the area. I wondered if this would be unnatural, so I created a cubic room with flame-retardant panels inside a 12-meter-diameter spherical module made of nickel alloy, heat-insulating material, and aluminum honeycomb laminated materials. I tried. The layout can be freely arranged without distinguishing between walls and floors, and visitors can walk freely while floating under weightlessness.
I thought it might be better to divide the floors according to the exhibition’s content, so I thought it would be more “royal” if I just piled up items of the same standard to create layers and connect them with vertical shafts. However, since it is monotonous, I divided the shape of the corridor into a circle and a square and shifted them to create a rhythm.
I arranged the docking ports vertically and surrounded them with an antenna frame to create an “entrance.” The royal coat of arms and the plaque with the king’s handwriting welcome you.
At the top of the top floor, the “Goddess of Speed” guides the astronauts and points to the sky.
Multiplicity Era – The Era of Diversity. A century of intelligence update respects others and accepts their values.
In this era, the earth was on the brink of destruction.
Faced with global environmental destruction and turmoil in the international situation, people sounded the alarm about the loss of culture that accompanies the collapse of civilization. Was founded. Put into action a secret plan. It was to create a digital archive of human culture, especially animation culture, and store it in a space station built in orbit around the earth.
With a view to the coming devastation of the earth and the accompanying collapse of civilization and even the extinction of mankind, the station will be a place for people who want to touch the cultural heritage and extraterrestrial intelligence who may one day visit this planet. It is a museum that conveys the essence of the animation culture that once existed on this planet to new beings who may become the successors of humankind in the distant future, giving people joy and hope and a time to the end. It’s a capsule.
At an altitude of 20,223 kilometers, the gigantic space station orbits the satellite in 12 hours.
Its operation is done by advanced autonomous artificial intelligence, does not accept negative control from any ground forces, and has necessary and sufficient self-defense capabilities (details are confidential).
People on earth will always be aware that it is an irreplaceable accumulation place of culture that human beings have built up when they see the brilliance that travels across the sky.
