The large-scale anime event "Town ★ Parade vol.14" in Tokushima Prefecture, Japan, is in full swing. The special event "Gray of the Night 2" about the "Grey Trilogy" has just ended, and now we will send you a hot event repo. The event mentioned the original idea of animation and the behind-the-scenes story of the selection of voice actors.
"Grey of the Night 2" was held at the ufotable cinema on May 3 at 9 p.m. The event began with the 60-minute special episode of "Grey Labyrinth" and the entire content of Episodes 1 to 3 of "Gray Paradise", and then the staff took to the stage to begin to communicate with the audience. Guests on stage include Ryuichi Yamakawa, a representative of Frontwing, Mitsutoshi Kokura of nbc universal, and Minan Tomoe, who starred in the "Gray Trilogy" as Nesting Lettuce.
The "Grey Trilogy" includes The Fruit of Grey, The Labyrinth of Grey, and Paradise of Grey. "Fruit" tells the story of the protagonist Yuji Kazemi who transfers to a school with only 5 girls. Labyrinth is the sequel to Fruit, which tells the story of the heroine after Fruit, and also involves the past of the protagonist, Yuji Kazama. And "Paradise" is the end of the entire series.
The biggest feature of the animation screen
The staff said that the biggest feature of the animated version of the "Gray" series is that there are wide black lines on the top and bottom of the screen, and the professional name is called "cinema scape". Although many anime works use cinema scape in OP animation or battle scenes, the animation used throughout is only the "Gray Trilogy", which is the first of its kind in Japan. This is also a time-consuming and laborious process in animation production. Because the original painting used for cinema scape is larger than the normal original painting and needs to be modified once, there are people in the production team who specialize in modification work.
It was decided to animate it all at the beginning
When it was decided to make an animated version of "Gray Fruit", it was actually decided to animate "Gray Labyrinth" and "Gray Paradise" together. The producers were determined to animate the entire Grey series from the beginning, so there was also a hint of a sequel in The Fruit of Grey.
Takahiro Sakurai was unanimously approved
Takahiro Sakurai, the voice actor who plays the protagonist Yuji Kazema, is a voice actor who is very familiar to everyone, so how did he get this role? The producer broke the news that all the staff led by the supervisor wanted to use Takahiro Sakurai from the beginning. When everyone discussed which voice actor to voice Yuji, everyone voted for Takahiro Sakurai, which was really expected.
Highlights of Labyrinth and Paradise
Finally, the three guests introduced the highlights of "Grey Labyrinth" and "Grey Paradise" to the audience. Minan Tomoe said: "The technique learned by lettuce from Yuji may play a big role..." Representative Yamakawa said: "Fortunately, the first episode was made into a 60-minute special chapter, if you like this work, you must help promote it." Kokura said, "I was in tears at an episode that happened to be recorded recently, so please look forward to it." ”
