CATDOLL: The new anime of "Gintama" is open for interviews again. Gintoki is a real man who is as soft as an egg

Gintama has a new series! ! Even though the "final episode" has already been played, a new series has been released! A true SP that sounds like a lie! !

Ah, I did hear those words that day, could it be that I heard them wrongly? “The Final Chapter”… “The Final Chapter”… This must be an illusion of this book, I must have heard them wrong, I got it wrong… Now I will tell you in a slightly similar format… “Resurrection”, “Resurrection”, “Resurrection”… Gintama is back again!!!

I thought that the movie Gintama: The Final Chapter Yorozuya Becomes Eternity had ended perfectly, and the new TV series was scheduled to start airing in the spring of 2015! Spring is here, and what will happen to Gintama? As always, the truth that seems like a lie will definitely happen.

Now, let's take a look at the logo of the work. Once again, it has something stuck on it. It looks a bit like "(撇)" and also like the extended war, but this time it's something round. How to read it is not clearly stated anywhere. For now, you can have fun with it.

The new animation has a new director, Chizuru Miyawaki, and Yoichi Fujita is in charge of the production. Today we interviewed the two to hear about their enthusiasm for the new series. The animation is about 8 years old. Let's recall those 8 years that were as real as lies with our happy companions in Kabukicho, and look forward to the spring when flowers bloom!

Sakata Gintoki, a real man who looks like a softie

Sakata Gintoki is a man who will do what he needs to do. And he never cheats at work no matter what. He uses all means to solve the problem in the end. Whether it is "Janko" of the transvestite club or "Acheng", the mascot character of the Shinsengumi, he will go all out as long as it is work. He will fight to the end even when facing a strong opponent. That's because his blood is boiling in the period called "White Night Demon". "Janko" or "White Night Demon", no matter which one is Gintoki. They are all men with the soul of a samurai. But occasionally there are also times of crisis when they face "crossing the K point", because that's what a man is.

Sakata Gintoki (voice/Sugita Tomokazu)

Occupation: Handyman

Height: 177cm

Weight: 65KG

Birthday: October 10

Silver has natural curls, loves sweets and drinks. His favorite book is Shonen Jump. He usually has dead eyes, but he is a real man who takes action when necessary. (Gin is very happy with Jump and sweets.)

One of the specialties of Yorozuya Gin is that he is devoted to his work and has a sincere and meticulous attitude. He starts with a form that looks suspicious like a locust at first glance, and once he gets started, he will do his best. For example, when he was a clerk in a barber shop, he integrated afro, bald and baby hair. This is the embodiment of a high level of professional ethics.

A message to the new series of Gintama from Tomokazu Sugita (Gintoki Sakata).

Q: Please share your thoughts on the new series of Gintama.

A: Because there was no notification recording, I have always believed it was fake. Basically, I still don’t believe it.

Q: This time a "°" was added to the logo. What do you think about this?

A: Didn’t I say it? I don’t believe it at all and I won’t open it again!!!

Q: On the occasion of the new series, if you were to speak to the character you played, what would you say?

A: Give me OO. (What is this...)

Q: Please leave a message for Animedia readers who firmly believe that “The Final Chapter and other things are all bullshit!”

A: What are you doing by taking this kind of animation seriously?

Connecting to Gintoki's past

During the Anti-foreign War, Gintoki was called White Night Demon and intimidated his enemies. In order to rescue Mr. Shoyo who was arrested by the shogunate, he fought on the battlefield with Katsura and Takasugi who were studying at the same school in Shoshita Sonjuku. When talking about Gintoki's past, it is indispensable to talk about his past with Mr. Shoyo. There are also eye-catching developments in the original work that is being serialized.

Episode 5: Shiroyasha appears during the Anti-foreign War and his relationship with Katsura is revealed

Because of Katsura's appearance as an active anti-foreigner patriot, Gintoki's "White Night Demon" era video debuts. The unexpected second side of this man known as "the man with the dead fish eyes" is revealed.

Episode 61: The hot topics of Gintoki and the other two when they were children

Gintoki, Katsura, and Takasugi all studied at Yoshida Shoyo's "Shoxiasonjuku". Gintoki had silver hair since he was a child, and he was just as lazy as he is now. The unexpectedly cute trio's childhood became a hot topic.

Live coverage of new director Miyawaki Chizuru

Chizuru Miyawaki is the third generation director of the Gintama series. From dirty jokes to serious plots, how will she handle the complex and intertwined world of Gintama? This magazine resolutely got a first-hand interview!

Passing the baton at full speed

Q: This is our first meeting, Ms. Miyawaki, so please introduce yourself and your relationship with Gintama to this day.

A: I started out as an animation producer, and I first helped with the original drawings for the Gintama special edition at JF in 2005. After that, I joined the team as a rotating animation supervisor for the TV series, and served as the animation supervisor for episode 1. I started directing in the second season.

Q: When you were told to "become a supervisor" this time, what was your first feeling? Also, what was the "reason" that made you decide to "do it"?

A: When I was first told, I thought it was a joke. I said, "No, it can't be me." After all, it's a big title. But when I realized they were serious, I had to believe it. But I felt pressure. Because what Mr. Takamatsu (Shinji) and Mr. Fujita (Yoichi) presented to everyone in their works is really amazing. Observing them closely, I know that they really work hard to make animations, and it takes more than half-hearted awareness to inherit them.

However, I also understand that there is no option for me to "reject". It feels like Mr. Fujita on the other side of the track is running towards me at full speed, saying "Hey! Hey! Hey!" while sprinting and thrusting the baton at me, and I am like "Huh?! Huh?! Yes!" and take it without thinking (laughs). There is no reason to take the baton extended by someone sprinting towards me at full speed.

Q: So cool! So, what do you think is the charm of Gintama?

A: From the perspective of a producer, this is a work that can be challenged by all departments. Whether it is drawing, post-production, shooting, or directing, everyone can add some of their own ideas. There is a chance for our ideas to shine. It is precisely because of such a deep mind that Mr. Takamatsu and Mr. Fujita presented us with such a good work. I think this is the greatest charm of "Gintama".

Q: You also added some of your own ideas.

A: Some of it was added in episode 34 when "Little Slut" appeared, because I was the animation supervisor for that entire episode, and I remember that I worked very hard at that time.

Bloody

Occasionally, we can see Gin's fierce fighting scenes, such as in "Red Sakura Arc", "Shinsengumi Rebellion Arc", "Yoshiwara Flame Arc", "Kabukicho Four Heavenly Kings Arc"... From these scenes, we can see his ghostly look, which makes us amazed at the unknown power inside this man, Sakata Gintoki.

Because I'm a man...

Not only Hasegawa, Gintoki is also a good-for-nothing (he is simply a useless uncle). He is always broke and dreams of making a little money by gambling and playing marbles. He lost his memory due to drinking, but he is still a real man who never repents. Gintoki's trivial daily life gives courage to men in the world.

When we think back to the scenes, we see Mr. Shoyo from behind or with his bangs down. His expression is never seen. In the "One Country, One City" chapter, we see Mr. Shoyo's true face. And Gintoki's unusual scream. It's the first time I've seen Gintoki crying like that.

Shimura Shinpachi, glasses with mostly fake love

Shinpachi and Kagura work part-time at the Yorozuya opened by Gintoki. The common point between the two is that they were both saved by Gintoki. Shinpachi borrowed Gin's power to save his sister when she was forced by Amanto to work at the high-cut swimsuit shabu-shabu hot pot. Kagura wanted to quit the bodyguard business of the underworld, but he placed his bet on the Yorozuya and finally gained a new foothold. The extremely ordinary Shinpachi and the fighting race Yato Kagura, their meeting with Gintoki is like fate, and these two are also people with personalities that cannot be underestimated.

Shimura Shinpachi

Occupation: Handyman

Height: 166cm

Weight: 55kg

Birthday: August 12

With the desire to revive his family's Heng Dojo, he follows Gintoki in the name of learning the spirit of the samurai.

Shinpachi is the man who can best be described as "ordinary" in Gintama. However, because he is too ordinary, he tends to fall in love with strange people. His not-so-ordinary relationships never have any results...

A message for the new series of Gintama

Daisuke Sakaguchi (Shimura Shinpachi)

Q: Please share your thoughts on the new series of Gintama.

A: Oh, is that okay? Really. Because, you said so…

Q: This time a "°" was added to the logo. What do you think about this?

A: How should I read it?

Q: On the occasion of the new series restart, if you could say one thing to the character you played, what would you say?

A: I have to perform again. It will be very tiring...

A: Please leave a message for the Animedia readers who firmly believe that “The Final Chapter and all that stuff is just bullshit!”

Q: Well, I’m really not lying. How should I put it? We are back.

A collection of glasses that has not changed

I feel like Shinpachi's glasses have been the same for 8 years...

The turbulent history of Shinpachi

Ordinary man Shinpachi is always bullied. If you look at some of the details, it is already quite dramatic. If you are not this person, you will definitely not be able to experience it. He tells all the unexpected events in the past 8 years.

In episode 29, he was eaten by Goro. He was swallowed by a giant cockroach, and the only thing he managed to save was his glasses?

In episode 56, he played the role of Makoto's foot. The mascot of the Shinsengumi, Makoto, was played by the Yorozuya trio.

In episode 115, Shinpachi becomes a nude model. He is taken to Ryugu Castle by Kame. At the beach, Shinpachi feels the pleasure of being naked. MADAO feels the same pleasure as him.

Died in chapter 150...The story of "pseudo-final chapter" ends with Shinpachi's death, which is a touching ending.

Kagura, the real vomiting heroine (heroine)

Kagura (Voiceover: Kugimiya Rie)

Occupation: Handyman

Height: 155cm

Weight: 40kg (it's unscientific to eat so much)

Birthday: November 3

Belongs to the fighting race "Yato". Has a father who is a space hunter (Hoshikai Fangzu) and an older brother (Kamui). His older brother once tried to kill his father, and every time he met Kagura, it would turn into a fierce fight. Has a good relationship with the general's sister, Sumiya.

Kagura's Family History

Kagura's family includes her father and brother. Her powerful brother is the leader of the space pirate Harusame. Communication among the Yato family members is quite difficult. Let's take a look at the sad family story of the heroine Kagura.

Amazing appetite!

The fighting nation Yato is a big eater. When she first arrived at the Yorozuya, she quickly ate the rice in Grandma Tose's rice cooker. Such generosity is unforgettable. However, eating bad things can still cause food poisoning. Because she vomited on the show, she successfully joined the ranks of vomiting heroines.

Kind of cute actually

She is sharp-tongued, misbehaves, and can tell dirty jokes easily. Kagura is such a person, but it is hard to imagine that she is afraid of cockroaches. Moreover, she is eager to have a parasol decorated with flowers. The girl of the night rabbit actually has a cute side.

A message for the new series of Gintama

Kugimiya Rie (Kagura role)

Q: Please share your thoughts on the new series of Gintama.

A: I will try my best

Q: This time a "°" was added to the logo. What do you think about this?

I just learned about it during this interview and don’t know how to pronounce it yet (laughs).

On the occasion of the new series restart, if you could speak to the character you played, what would you say?

Please take care of me.

Please leave a message for Animedia readers who firmly believe that “The Final Chapter and all that stuff is just bullshit!”

It seems like a lie, I'm sorry...

Chapter 41: Waiting for Daddy's Return Alone

Father Hoshikaibozu tells Kagura's childhood. Her mother died early, and her father worked as a space hunter and had no time to take care of the family. Kagura has been waiting for him to come home. Ah, but now, she calls her father "Bald".

Chapter 142: Brother and sister fight fiercely! The fighting race will not show mercy

In the Yoshiwara Flame Arc, Kagura and her brother Kamui have a fierce battle. After the awakening of Yato's instinct, Kagura's eyes are crazy and she has become a completely different person. Will she become like this again at any time?

Live coverage of new director Miyawaki Chizuru

A fusion of horror and comedy

The one that gave me the most room to work as an editor was "Golden Soul". I drew the scripts for the second and fourth episodes of "Golden Soul". I also drew the storyboards for the OP of "Mansoul" and edited it. I really listened to the recording of "Mansoul" over and over again, using all my skills, not even leaving out any corners, and finally made this kind of OP.

——It was like a completely different work… The audience’s response was also shocking.

The only show that allows me to do this is Gintama.

——But "jin" and "mang" are easy to pronounce incorrectly if you are not careful. I never thought that such words could be broadcast on TV.

Is that so? I don't think there is any problem because "Golden Soul" means "soul" in "golden". Am I paralyzing myself?

When I was making it, I just tried my best to make it more interesting, without realizing whether it was feasible. Once I decided to do it, I could only keep adding interesting things to keep my brain working. Then, when it was almost finished, Mr. Higuchi, the producer of Sunrise, would say something like "Is this okay?" with a very complicated expression on his face... This happened frequently.

——Which episode of Gintama do you like?

All the scenes are very exciting and interesting, I like them all... But Mr. Fujita's "Browsing" (74 episodes), I think every funny point is great and very interesting. I also like "Senwangxiang Hot Springs" (131-134 episodes). For example, "Shalilu" who stays indoors. I like this fusion of horror and comedy.

Hijikata Toshiro, the super mayonnaise fanatic

The two leaders of the Shinsengumi, Hijikata and Okita. Both of them respect Director Kondo very much. Because of his excessive respect, Okita always wants to kick Hijikata out and covet the No.2 position. Shoot him with a cannon! He won't relax even in the bathhouse. Okita's S attribute is fully exerted on Hijikata.

Now let’s look at Hijikata, who treats mayonnaise and cigarettes as spiritual food, transforms himself into the vice-captain of the devil, and unites the Shinsengumi to fight hard.

Hijikata likes mayonnaise very much. He always puts in unusual amounts. He has his own way of squeezing mayonnaise, and he always draws circles and spirals upwards. If I also like mayonnaise, I will definitely want to praise him for being so good. He has reached such a level of dexterity.

Ghost Deputy Chief

Once it comes to work, Hijikata becomes very strict and terrifying. The vice-captain of the demons was not just a naughty child since childhood, but a little demon with thorns like thorns. He originally had the qualities of a "devil". Even when he transformed under the magic power of the demon sword, he could make his subordinates obey him completely. He is worthy of being the vice-captain.

Hijikata Jushiro (voice/Nakai Kazuya)

Occupation: Vice-chairman of the Shinsengumi Height: 177cm

Weight: 64kg Birthday: May 5

He is called "Demon's Vice-Captain" and the No.2 of the Shinsengumi. He never forgets Mr. Kondo's position and is also called "Kondo Jushiyuu" because he often helps him.

The history of Hijikata vs Gintoki

One is a former anti-foreigner, and the other is an armed police officer who monitors them. Gintoki and Hijikata are incompatible. They disagree on everything. But they are both unwilling to admit defeat. The battles between the two are always life-and-death.

Episode 48: Sauna Bath Test of Endurance

If you're so hot, why not just give up? But they insist that not giving up is a sign of manly stubbornness.

(Sweating hard in the sauna & becoming hazy...)

Chapter 103: Gintoki scolds Zhai Jushi

In the "Shinsengumi Rebellion", Gintoki gave a rare and serious reprimand to Otaku Jushi who had become a cowardly otaku.

Chapter 171: The Sadistic Okita's Conspiracy

Because of Okita's prank, the two people who least wanted to be connected were handcuffed together. They held roses in their mouths and danced tango, and went together wherever they went. Yes, even to the bathroom! Because of this episode, the distance between the two of them has shortened a bit, right! ?

Chapter 175 I'm Not Hurt

Two similar people who were both troubled by cavities met at the same dentist. However, the dentist here was very absurd. He actually made a toothbrush grow on Mr. Kondo's forehead...

Okita Sougo's real sadism

Okita Sougo (voice/Suzumura Kenichi)

Occupation: Captain of the Shinsengumi First Division Height: 170cm

Weight: 58kg Birthday: July 8

He is an expert swordsman and often uses cannons, mainly targeting Hijikata. He covets the position of vice-chairman of the Shinsengumi and seriously wants to kill Hijikata. He is very sharp-tongued and sadistic. He is also extremely incompatible with Kagura.

Earthwork

Coveting the No.2 position in the Shinsengumi, Okita initially wanted to kill Hijikata, the Shinsengumi's backup. Later, he resorted to more tricks, hugging Amanto's body in the bathroom and attacking him. He would do anything to achieve his goal. This is sadism.

(The things that attack Hijikata are always very big! The Pi Nu Lu family, and the rocket launcher...)

To others

Okita's sadism left a deep impression on people at first when he burned the frog with fire. It was more like a pleasure to watch. When Shinpachi was writing letters to his pen pals to collect ideas, he also played a little prank and gave his photo to them.

Okita's reversal of history

Okita's sadism is very effective against Hijikata. He dares to use all kinds of cannons and even plays tricks on him. Hijikata doesn't argue with him because he is an adult. But what makes him unable to break through the status quo is Kagura. And the only record of Okita's defeat is that he fell to the ground with his eyes rolled up.

Episode 258: "The Enemy" is too bad...

In the "One Country, One City" episode, Kagura, who wanted to tease her old enemy who was imprisoned, was suddenly grabbed by Imai Nobuko! The two returned to the depths of the cell as if nothing had happened, leaving Okita who suffered a miserable defeat...

Request! Futon Cushion

——In a relaxed atmosphere, it feels like Gintama is about to start again. As the director of the new series, please tell us again about your enthusiasm.

Because it hasn't been finalized yet, I don't know how to say it. At that time, when the animation supervisor and director of each episode made a more interesting episode, I would think, "Damn it - I can't lose to them", and then focus on my own work. I was really encouraged by this feeling all the way. Now I have to observe the work from a slightly more comprehensive perspective, with the "original work" as the main premise, so that "Gintama" has as wide a floating area as possible in the strike zone, and have the courage to deal with various situations. Don't let your vision become narrow.

Now, I often go back to the first and second issues to confirm some information, and I still find it very interesting when I look back.

In the future, I must also reach this level. Just admiration is useless. However, I think they will not let me, who knows nothing, be the supervisor. Instead, they want to mobilize some parts of myself. I also want to move forward with these parts. First, after everyone watches the first episode of "Gintama°"...

——What kind of work are you doing now?

We are still in the preparation stage of staff confirmation, etc. However, Hemorrhoids may be a bit serious.

——…All hidden?

Because I've been sitting on the chair. Really, this has been bothering me this year.

——It will obviously get busier and busier from now on.

Yes. I have to buy a hollow cushion. By the way, why not make an Elizabeth cushion? It feels very comfortable to use as a butt pad. Manufacturers, please make one.

Is it true that Katsura Kotaro's hair is not a wig?!

Katsura, Takasugi, and Gintoki were all partners who fought together during the war against foreigners. After Gintoki wandered to Kabukicho and started running Yorozuya, their war against foreigners continued. Katsura and Takasugi were elusive because they needed to act secretly. However, compared to Katsura, who often appears in Kabukicho to say "It's not a wig, it's Katsura", Takasugi is really scary. And he seems to have something to do with the Space Pirates Kamui and the Mikai Group. So he revealed the mastermind behind the arrest of Mr. Matsuyo in "One Country and One City". He showed his presence.

Cross-dressing

Wanted criminal Katsura is an expert in cross-dressing. Especially when it comes to women's clothing, he always has a very high degree of perfection. He has a wig for Juanzi's companion, a wig for the housekeeper, and even a cheongsam beauty due to the space warts! The reason why he can freely cross-dress is thanks to his long black straight hair. In other words, it is really "not a wig".

Katsura Kotaro (dubbed by Akira Ishida)

Occupation: Wanted Anti-foreigner Height: 175cm

Weight: 56kg Birthday: June 26

He is active as the leader of the anti-foreign faction. Nicknamed "Runaway Kotaro," he often escapes from the shogunate's pursuers. His partner is Elizabeth.

Elusive

Katsura, who is gathering intelligence in Edo Castle, often appears and disappears. He appears there before you know it. The female ninja Kozaru thinks Katsura has a speed that is not inferior to that of a ninja. What kind of information is he gathering at this speed?

History of Katsura's Anti-foreigner Movement

"It's not a wig, it's Katsura." Katsura's job is not to just say this and then leave. Katsura Kotaro is the leader of the anti-foreigner faction, the Katsura faction. Let's take a look at his respectable, anti-foreigner activities.

Episode 5 The war is not over yet, I am Gui

From the flashback when Katsura first appeared, he gave the impression that his war against foreigners was not over yet. Although he is now a gentle man, he was once a wild type known as the "Crazy Nobleman" because he was good at using bombs.

Episode 109 It's not Zura, it's Katsura

The important responsibility of the leader is to recruit partners and promote the implementation of the next plan. Yamazaki Tai from the Shinsengumi sneaked into Katsura's base and participated in the new recruit recruitment exam called "Plan Z". He was warmly welcomed?!

Episode 39 It's not a ramen shop, it's Katsura

A woman who runs a ramen shop by herself - Ikumatsu. Katsura, who was taken in by her, sometimes shows an expression that is completely like that of an active anti-foreigner patriot!

Episode 110 It's not a prison, it's a laurel

Prison breakouts are really like wanted criminals and anti-foreigner patriots. However, Shinpachi would also complain about "Go and expel the foreigners".

Live coverage of new producer Yoichi Fujita

As the second-generation supervisor of the Gintama series, Fujiwara Yoichi was supposed to end the animation Gintama with the final episode of the theatrical version. Today we will interview this key figure who will serve as the supervisor in the new series.

It won’t end, that’s the answer!

——I remember that after the "Theatrical Version Finale", you said that you felt a sense of completion and felt "empty". Now that the new series is about to start, please tell us about your current feelings.

To those who thought “it’s never going to end” after watching the last episode (the final episode)… congratulations. That’s right! (laughs) You guessed it right.

——The new series was influenced by the success of "The Final Chapter"?

Yes. But if there hadn't been "The Final Chapter", I wouldn't be feeling like I don't know what kind of expression to make now. (Laughs)

——In other words, you don’t know how to face everyone?

This is of course because it was unexpected.

——It’s been more than a year since the “Final Chapter” ended. Is “Gintama” still in your body?

It’s only been a year, and I’m still completely involved. In just one year, it’s impossible to look at Gintama objectively, nor can I look at this work from a bird’s-eye view.

——This time, a new supervisor was appointed. When you heard the news of the reopening, did you consider continuing to be the supervisor?

No. I had considered the handover of supervision a long time ago.

Before making "The Final Movie", I thought that if Gintama continued in the future, I would have to pass on the baton of work.

——So, is “The Final Chapter” an opportunity?

Yes. The theatrical version became a dividing point, so I came up with this idea.

——The new supervisor was given to Ms. Miyawaki. Was this something you had considered before?

Of course. I thought the episodes she participated in were particularly interesting. The storyboard for the ED of "Extended Battle" was given to her. I also asked her to add the OP of "Soul of the Mang" to the storyboard of the final episode of "Gold Soul", which is very important. So I trusted her from the beginning. The longest 40-minute section at the beginning of "Theatrical Version Finale" was also given to her. Because "Gintama" is a work with a special rhythm, we did not consider recruiting new people from outside but chose people from the team.

Takasugi Shinsuke is a dangerous man who only seeks benefits

The connection with Gintoki

Takasugi and Gintoki were comrades who fought side by side during the Shiroyasha era. However, when Takasugi met Gintoki again in Kabukicho, he was still full of murderous intent to attack him. There is a connection between the two that we don't know about.

Occupation: Leader of the Ghost Soldier Team Height: 170cm

Weight: 60kg Birthday: August 10

The ill-fated love story between Takasugi and Katsura

It is said that Takasugi and Katsura have been at odds since childhood. However, Katsura still wants to stop Takasugi from destroying Edo. Takasugi refuses to listen. How will their relationship continue?

Episode 60: Two People Who "Do Not Get Along"

At the end of episode 60, Katsura and Takasugi completely broke up. Katsura stood on Gintoki's side and fought against Takasugi. Both of them had Shoyo's book in their arms. Obviously, the teacher protected them from the two blades...

Live coverage of new producer Yoichi Fujita

The difficult job of "Supervisor"

——This time, Mr. Fujita will be the "Supervisor". What does the producer do for "Gintama"?

First, you have to drink. Drink with the supervisor and give suggestions if you have any problems during drinking.

——…Supervising is such a difficult job.

Yes. You should speak up whatever you think, but the choice and responsibility are all left to the supervisor.

Actually, having a supervisor in Gintama really helped a lot. When I was supervising, Mr. Takamatsu was the supervisor, and he really helped me a lot. It was a little more interesting, a little more interesting, and even more interesting. As a supervisor, when a person thinks hard like this, his head is dizzy as if he is falling into hell. To avoid this, you need someone to talk to to sort out your thoughts. The supervisor plays a big role. Especially someone like Mr. Takamatsu who has a similar position to me, because it is really helpful to be a supervisor at work. I think it's my turn to play such a role this time.

Next, you don't just say something actively, but you have to keep saying it on a daily basis. However, this is the job of the producer. It is equivalent to a buffer. When the supervisor asks "How about this", you have to give him an answer like this is not bad, and would it be better like this. Look at it objectively, tell her everything you think of, and leave the choices to the supervisor.

——It is a very detailed job, are you involved in the supervision work now?

Yeah, I’m already drinking it. (Laughs)

——Are there any plans or ideas to try new things in the new series?

Maybe Miyawaki also thought so. Because there is an original work, he wanted to maximize the charm of the original work, and also wanted to add some of his own different ideas on it. It would be nice if it could give new audiences a new feeling.

——Now, looking back on the eight years of the anime Gintama, what memories do you have?

Well, the one that left a deep impression on me was "I'm Sorry" (Episode 252). Although everyone already knows that after receiving the letter from Sorachi Hideaki, my personal "divorce" incident was announced. After that, when I typed my name into Google, "Fujita Yoichi's Divorce" would still appear until now.

(All the characters knelt down and apologized for 30 minutes. "I'm sorry" in episode 252. The painting on the fusuma was designed by the first director, Shinji Takamatsu.)

Ami's "Dark Matter" is the strongest!

The foot skills against Kondou are the best, and the long sword is the best. However, if we have to say who is the best, it is still Ami's cooking ability.

The young general is the 14th generation general Maomao, who loves to wear briefs. Not only does he wear them boldly, but he also knows how to pose, just like a general. He doesn't feel disgusted with his appearance, he is truly a man among men. Men just like to wear only a pair of shorts.

Hasegawa Taizo embarked on the road of regret

If you think about it carefully, you have forgotten the real name of MADAO. It seems that Hasegawa? When he first appeared, he was an official of the shogunate... and he arrived at the journey of a miserable life in "Repentance" in episode 261.

Chapter 7 Prince Hata's pet lost

Because of some small matters, the VIP figures who were in heaven were punished with iron fist. Before the incident became a big deal, the small official was asked to take responsibility and was forced to resign.

Chapter 16: After writing "MADAO", my wife left home

Hasegawa lost his job and lived a life of nothing. Tired of his husband who had no sign of starting over, his wife ran away from home. After that letter he was left behind, he began to be called MADAO.

Chapter 94 Although I am still reluctant to leave, I have no money

MADAO hoped that his wife would come back and mustered up the courage to call. His wife did not look completely unintentional. But Hasegawa did not draw a blueprint that would make life come back.

Chapter 136 moved into the cardboard box

Once in the fall, once in the fall. MADAO has since become accustomed to using cartons as his home. Even so, he still has property: the box decks he picked up and wooden shoes.

Chapter 248 MADAONEA, Opportunity for a Great Reversal in Life

MADAO is on TV. If you answer all the questions correctly, you can get a bonus of 10 million yen! MADAO won this bonus beautifully, but you have to pay back the previous 30 million owed money, 1000-3000 = minus 2000.

Chapter 261, the wooden foot is gone, only sunglasses are left

There is only one sunglasses left in the world of MADAO. The cardboard box is still a little warm, and it still leaves an impression of the clothes worn by those who have passed by as if nothing had happened. It's so sad.

A direct report on the new producer Yoichi Fujita

Will the next meeting with Mr. Sorachi will be 4 years later!?

——In fact, I tried to type in the name. Then the keywords related to Fujita Yoichi.

I've been very confused about whether to beat Google or erase those episodes. I wonder when the keyword hint will disappear.

——Of course, there are also good memories, right?

Let me give you a recent example, such as the Golden Soul episode in which Ms. Yui-sai participated. Starting with the new program "Golden Soul". I feel that Golden Soul has brought joy to many fans.

——I didn’t expect that the title of the program list (radio, TV program list) also changed, which is really unexpected.

Yes, I think this is the result of the hard work of adults. Some people think it is feasible to change the trailer, while others think it is not feasible and were criticized. Finally, the criticism was suppressed. There was no joke, it was not "Gintama" but "Gintama", but "Gintama" to be broadcast. Only "Gintama" can do this. It has a feeling of being plotted and I feel very excited when doing it. I hope to make some interesting things in the new serial.

——Please give us a sentence to our eagerly anticipated readers.

If the "Theater Edition Finale" had not been watched by many viewers, there would not be any current works. The new serialization was reopened not because we deliberately planned it, but to respond to the enthusiasm of the audience. While constantly echoing the needs of all the audiences, we were thinking that it is forgivorable that "Gintama" betrayed the audience's expectations.

——Have Teacher Kongzhi said anything about the reopening of the new serial?

No. Having said that, I haven't seen him yet. Maybe it was because I saw him too many times in "Theater Edition Finale". Before that, I only saw him once or twice a year, but then I saw him twice or three times a month...

I'll see you next time about four years later.

It was already completed, but a new series was released!! When the TV animation new series was decided, the production team members and the members of Wanshiwu expressed their current mood in four words! Please see!!

Reviewing the past to learn new things

When making a new series, I often look back at the contents of the first and second issues in the previous series. I often find some inspiration from it. I hope I can make some innovations and insights in the results of the previous two supervisors. For this reason, I think it is very meaningful to review the past and learn the new.
