【Anime Miscellaneous】About Shinichi Fukuda
The new "Changing Dolls Fall in Love" has just ended a very exciting episode, and seeing that the animation is about to enter the end, the website natalie conducted a brief interview with the original author of the manga, Shinichi Fukuda. Shinichi Fukuda gave his true thoughts and shared interesting stories behind the scenes. I'll summarize this in this issue.
Regarding the original intention and idea of creation, Fukuda Mentioned a relatively common phenomenon in reality. Some cosplayers mention that their boyfriends or husbands want them to quit the circle after they know their hobbies, and sometimes threaten to break up. Shinichi Fukuda hated this phenomenon so much that he designed the two protagonists so that both sides could understand and respect each other's hobbies.
Regarding the positioning of the story, Fukuda wanted to create works that both men and women could enjoy. The role of Hai Meng fulfills the dreams of boys who "want to socialize with cosplayers" and "want to socialize with girls like this when they are students". Fukuda also mentioned that although the new dish of the male protagonist that was originally conceived was not very talkative, it was not as delicate as it is now.
Regarding the animation, Fukuda said that it was completely unexpected. Although I, like most manga artists, I once had dreams of animation. However, in order to impress the audience with the manga at the 1st, Fukuda used a gimmick such as "Saint Slippery Gakuen" in the story. Generally speaking, this kind of genre cannot appear in animation, so he gave up the idea of animation before serialization.
The moment he learned the news of the animation, Fukuda was stunned, and he was not mentally prepared, and he did not even have time to cry with joy.
He also mentioned that he knew that if he wanted to animate, he would not have designed Shizuku's costumes so complicated, which was really hard for the animation production team. In addition, he also shared a behind-the-scenes anecdote, the voice actor Shoya Shimō, who played the male protagonist Gojo Shincho, and personally challenged shizuku's clothes (Kao Ge jpg) in the animation linkage plan. If it hadn't been as complicated as the design, Mr. Shi Mao wouldn't have suffered so much.
Finally, Fukuda Also expressed his gratitude to the animation team, claiming that he watched episodes 1 and 2 for 13 hours and was particularly satisfied with the image of the protagonists and the acting skills of the voice actors.
In short, the animation of "Changing Dolls" is indeed quite successful, not only the author will think so, but also the general audience can experience it. Shota Umehara, who incarnated as a "sleepless man", worked with his team to meticulously craft the work, not only maintaining a high level of action and face, but even the small animations in the drama were invited to the unique brothers such as Tatsushi Yoshihara. I hope that excellent manga originals can have this kind of animation treatment.
