In the October new edition, most of the works will probably cater to the love of young people. However, with the increasing audience of animation in recent years, characters labeled as "social people" and "social animals" have also become candidates for protagonists. And "Network Victory Group" is one of them. Recently, this work held a voice actor symposium activity, let's take a look! (Excerpt available)
Q: First of all, please introduce your role.
Morioka Moriko: Asami Noto ( "Noto"): I starred as Morioka Moriko, a family squatter in her 30s. She has a very serious personality and works hard before becoming a family squat. But because I have worked too hard every day, I feel particularly painful at work... After some entanglement, she decided to put an end to this real life and travel to her favorite online game world. It's such a very pure girl.
Sakurai Yutako: Takahiro Sakurai (hereinafter referred to as Sakurai): Sakurai Yuta is a blonde and glasses man, from the perspective of personality will give everyone a relatively large impact, is a very refreshing good youth. He fits the character of this work very well and is addicted to online games. Although there are still many content that cannot be spoiled, he will have a lot of opponent scenes with Moriko in the future...
Hayashi: Suzuki (suzuki): Hayashi is a character in the game world created by Moriko. Although it looks the most handsome in terms of human design, the name is very ordinary, which is very regrettable (laughs). In the online game, Lin has the setting of a college student, which is also the so-called "shemale number".
Li lily: Ueda Reina (hereinafter referred to as Ueda): This is a very affinity, no matter how you look at it, it is particularly cute character. In the work, Lily is a character who lends a helping hand to the troubled Lin Jun. It looks weak, but as the plot deepens, it will slowly reveal Lily's nature... It must be a character that surprises the audience after watching the work.
Kazumi Fujimoto: Takuto Terashima (hereinafter referred to as Terajima): Fujimoto is a university student who works at a convenience store. More content involves spoilers, so it can't be said (laughs). However, the convenience store where he works is near Morioka's house and is one of the very few destinations where Morioka goes out.
Kobe: Yuichi Nakamura : I play kobe, too, a character who can't spoil too much. Moriko sets herself up as a character like Hayashi in the game, but what about Kobe? When you watch the work, if you can imagine who Kobe really is, it will be even more fun. Although he has a stupid mouth, he is a character who cares a lot about his companions.
Q: There are online games in "Online Victory Group", so do you usually play online games?
Nobori: I played with the red and white machine when I was a child. But after that, the game has more depth, right? For example, it reflects a three-dimensional sense.
Nakamura: So-called "3D"?
Noboru: Yes! But in the face of such a type, I feel that I can't make the character go down well.
Nakamura: You can go and see the flowers, but you can't get to the bottom of it (laughs).
Noboru: Yes! I can't get into it (laughs). The game that's on sale now gives me that feeling, so I've been away from the world of games for a while. However, recently, because I can play games with my mobile phone, I seem to have returned to the world of games little by little.
Sakurai: When I was younger, I used to think that only games in this world could be trusted (laughs). So in my early 20s, I played a lot of games.
Everybody: (laughs)
Sakurai: But after I was about 25 years old, I didn't like to play games as much as I used to. Now, I can play games on PSV.
Suzuki: The first console I played was the Nintendo DS, and I played works such as "New Super Mario Bros." and "Professor Kawashima Takata's DS Brain Intensive Training". As for online games, I played some FPS (first-person shooter) type games during the preparation period of the third year of junior high school...
Terajima: Why do you play this during the exam? [Laughs]
Suzuki: Oh, how to say it... Anyway, let's play while learning (laughs). And maybe I'm more committed to FPS than I am to learning.
Q: I think you can also experience the evolution of game consoles from everyone's description (laughs). What about Miss Ueda?
Ueda: I used to play games with my family at home between elementary school and junior high school. We used the Nintendo 64 and remember my mother and brother who loved to play golf. Lately, everyone can play games with their phones, right? But I start the game once every six months, and I'm not a veteran player.
Nakamura: They all landed half a year ago, which is too in-depth...
Everyone: (Hilarious)
Q: What about Mr. Terajima?
Terajima: I play the game in a narrow genre, but naturally I will continue to play it today. Maybe some of my fans will think I'm a player, but I'm not a player yet.
Q: So does Mr. Nakamura play games?
Nakamura: Feel free to play...
Terajima: This "casual" is not the same as our benchmark (laughs).
Nakamura: If I were to make a comparison in front of such a member, then it is true that I have never stopped playing the game before.
Q: When did Mr. Nakamura first start playing games?
Nakamura: It should be in the 2nd and 3rd grades of elementary school. I've been playing ever since. While I've heard the saying "you shouldn't play games when you grow up," I didn't do it. In fact, some of my predecessors in the firm stopped playing games until they were about 30 years old. But even after I turn 30, I still keep playing. People always give up playing games at some point... It makes me feel lonely.
Q: So let's get down to business! "Online Victory Group" is based on online games as the theme, so do you understand what online games are? Or what do you think it is?
Nohden: "Final Fantasy" should be an online game, right?
Nakamura: If you're talking about Final Fantasy XI, then it really is. In addition, the "Dragon Quest" series also has online games.
Nengden: Oh, is that so?
Ueda: I don't know much, but I always feel that online games are playing with people I don't know at all.
Terajima: I haven't played it before, so I don't know much about it, but I always think it involves a lot of interpersonal relationships. I also came into contact with online games because of Mr. Sakurai's previous animation ". Hack" relationship. Because of this work, I began to understand the communication in the online game world. However, there are very few people around me who play, so I still think that the interpersonal relationships in online games are complicated.
Nengden: The other party is not a machine, but can deeply reflect human nature, which is "online game". It's a world where you can play games with someone in the distance at home! I haven't played it, but I know what kind of world it is.
Terajima: Some players get married because of online games, right? In this sense, it is a game with dreams.
Q: So how does Mr. Suzuki understand online games? Do you have experience playing online games?
Suzuki: I play FPS, which is a game against other people. Normal games allow players to play alone, but online games can continue as long as there are players. I've played King of the Battlefield.
Q: So finally, Mr. Nakamura, what is the online game you have been playing recently?
Nakamura: Legend of Wonderland. I had some friends who played it every day, and then I played the game on Amway, but then I got a pain in my hands and gave up.
Sakurai: Why does my hand hurt?
Nakamura: This game is called a "mouse knock game", I have to use the mouse to click all the time, and I feel tenosynovitis, so I give up. Later, because of the dubbing work, I began to play "DreamStar" again.
Sakurai: It's true that everyone is playing it, and there are a lot of voice actor players in this game.
Q: So Mr. Sakurai will play this game too?
Sakurai: At that time, I also played a little bit.
Q: Where did Mr. Nakamura feel the charm of online games?
Nakamura: Not to mention that the game content is interesting, I think online games provide a space for players to do what they like. For example, in "Network Victory Group", it is not voice communication, but text communication. It's also a pleasure. Although it is more difficult to express your mood by words, this inconvenience is more interesting. When I'm playing online games, if I talk to someone and they don't respond, then I think, "What the hell is he doing?" Maybe it's thinking about how to respond, maybe it's already asleep. This kind of communication in online games is also interesting.
Q: There are a lot of Internet terms in this work. Next, I will list some special terms, and please imagine what they all mean.
Nakamura: I feel that Ms. Nobori and Miss Oda can give interesting answers (laughs).
Nobori Ueda: I will try!
Q: So the first question, what does "鯖" mean?
Ueda: Actually, I... I've looked up that word before. But most of the search results are food!
Nakamura: But when it comes to eating, it's better to chew well! [Laughs]
Ueda: So "鯖" means "dangerous.".
Q: Anyway, it's definitely not about a fish (laughs). Then the second problem is "dirt". Can Ms. Nobori answer?
Noboru: I didn't know much about internet terms before, but I remembered a lot in "Network Victory Group". And the words "dirt (アカ)" ... I really don't understand it (laughs).
Nakamura: So does Miss Ueda understand?
Ueda: I never looked this up. But maybe it means an account (アカウント)...
Nakamura: That's the right answer. terrific!
Terajima: It is often used on social platforms such as Twitter.
Q: Miss Ueda answered the second question brilliantly! Then the next third question is "lesson money". Please Mr. Sakurai to answer.
Sakurai: Everyone should know this, right? Use real-world money to buy items in the game. Because I don't play this kind of game, I never pay money, but there are many people around me who often say, "I'm going to pay for this prop." But they like games so much, and they promote economic development, so it's a good thing.
Q: In addition to these questions, do you know any terms that are often used online?
Nakamura: I started using "うい" after playing online games, which means a lot like "はい" (yes).
Noden: How do you always feel like a Frenchman (laughs).
Sakurai: Why not use はい?
Nakamura: On keyboards that use Roman accents, if you want to type "はい", you need to press "h, a, i". However, "うい" only needs to press "u, i". And they are so close to each other that they can be operated with one hand. If you respond with the keyboard, you will involuntarily enter "うい".
Q: So have you ever had the idea of "I want to play this kind of online game"?
Sakurai: I really like the works of the "Animal Forest" series, if only I could say the online game version.
Ueda: I don't like fighting either, but I like a more leisurely world. In the forest, everyone farms together, planting huge trees and so on.
Sakurai: So I'll set up a peaceful village on the planet created by Ueda (laughs).
Q: So what does Ms. Nobori think?
Noboru: Actually, I've played Demon Village in the past...
Everyone: Huh?
Noboru: Although there is no level of playoffs at all (laughs), if the game that you have played on the red and white machine can be released from the online game version, it should be interesting. In this way, the opponents that one person could not defeat in the past can be cleaned up by everyone's strength!
Q: "Online Victory Group" not only describes the online game world, but also tells about real-world interpersonal relationships, which is also a big charm. So let's talk about what the work looks like without spoilers.
Sakurai: It's rare for Moriko and Sakurai to meet in that way. Will there be a romantic encounter afterwards? Now how do I answer?
Noboru: Yeah, how to say it, it should be a more impactful meeting (laughs). After watching the animation, I'm afraid many people can't help but shout out "Oops". As for the real world, it is more the interaction between Sakurai and Koiwai (voice actor: Tomoaki Maeno). And Moriko's contact with Koiwai is also quite a lot. It's hard to explain.
Sakurai: The complexity of interpersonal relationships is also a major charm of the work. Now in order to avoid spoilers, we can't say more, but after watching the work, we must pay attention to the content of human nature!
Q: There is a "network victory group" in the title, so what do you think the ideal online game looks like?
Noboru: A lot of things happen in the online world, but for me personally, it would be a gentle world. It's better to have a world that feels warm and doesn't have nasty things than places that emit negative energy.
Suzuki: As long as you are strong enough, it is an ideal world!
Nakamura: When you go home, you don't think "you have to play", but you will naturally log in to the game. That's the web winner.
Ueda: If you can think at work, "In order to play games, I have to work hard today," then I would be very happy.
Sakurai: When everyone plays games, everyone has their own reasons. Maybe it's like the game, maybe it's like communication, if you can like this kind of gaming experience.
Q: Thank you to all the voice actors for taking on today's interview! So what kind of online life will the characters who appear in "Network Victory Group" live? Look forward to this emotional drama that intertwines the Internet with reality!
