Directed by Masaaki Yuasa and starring Queen Bee, "Inuyasha" is scheduled for May 28!
Anime genius Masaaki Yuasa is a director with a strong personal style, and I am still impressed by "Cat Soup" in which he wrote it. Since most of the works he has participated in producing are of good quality, the man who is said to be the strongest supervisor of Neon Animation is highly anticipated every time he makes a new work.
This time, the new work "Inuyasha" has a strong lineup, and it can be said that both production and voice actors are immortal lineups. Directed by Masaaki Yuasa, who has produced works such as Ping Pong, Demon Man, and Don't Shoot at the Image, the script is written by Akiko Nogi, the screenwriter of Library Wars and Unnatural Death, the original character setting is Matsumoto Dayou, the soundtrack is handled by Ryohide Otomo, and the animation production company is Science Saru.
The voice actor lineup is even more luxurious, with Queen Bee as the main cast, in addition to popular voice actors/actors such as Mirai Moriyama, Yu Tsumoto, and Kenjiro Tsuda.
The story is adapted from Furukawa Sunrise's novel "The Tale of the Heike Family Inuyasha", the story takes place in the neon Southern and Northern Dynasties to Muromachi period, the protagonist "Inuyasha" is a little-known musician, because he is rejected by the people around him and wears a gourd mask, one day he encounters the pipa mage teenager "tome" who has insomnia due to the curse of the Heijia family.
"Inuyasha" wants to fight against fate, "Yuma" wants to find the truth of the curse, they are attracted to each other's talents, the two hit it off, forming a partnership, his dance and his piano sound perfectly matched, and they became a hot popular combination...
The story revolves around friendship, but the essence is still a musical drama animation with noh as the theme, the music has high requirements for music, and this music must also be matched with The style of Masaaki Yuasa, and Yoshihide is under pressure! However, to be shortlisted for the 78th Venice International Film Festival, the quality should be guaranteed, the only thing to worry about is the voice actors, although they are god-level lineups, but not professional.
This name always reminds me of the anti-Japanese movie "Inuyasha"
