Wild Arms 2nd Ignition Complete Guide interview

Wild Arms 2nd Ignition Complete Guide (Famitsu, 2000) ワイルドアームズ2ndイグニッションコンプリートガイド ISBN-10: 4757701098 ISBN-13: 978-4757701090 Summary of interview (pg 344-353) with Kaneko Akifumi (writer, total game design), Ookubo Tetsuya (monster design, battle graphics), Itou Yukihiko (character design, field) Kaneko says the theme of the game is heroes; How "hero" is interpreted. An antithesis to the kind of heroes that appear in RPGs. Ootsubo says they ran with their own interests a lot, with even more homages to things that they love, and Itou notes that the people in charge of the battles were having great fun working on the game. Kaneko says that Force is something that builds up with fear, when you're in danger. Regular enemies just die to normal attacks so it's mainly for bosses. It's a system they came up with solely for Ashley- Letting him just transform right off the bat would be equivalent to Ultraman starting a fight with his specium ray. Ootsubo interp...

Gundam UC interviews, script clarifications for OVA episode 7

Gundam UC #7 script stuff -Full Frontal's mask glowing DOES mean he's controlling the Neo Zeong remotely.   -When he says he's no longer empty "his face looks, unlike before, like an actual human's- albeit that of one mired in regret". When he removes his mask Syam picks up that there's now something different about him. (i.e. When he addresses Full Frontal as the ghost of Char he meant it literally)   -Only the gatling guns attached to the shields are destroyed by the psycho shard (and not the shields themselves, in the case of the shields).   -The sequence where Banagher and Full Frontal see time is caused by the Sinanju and Unicorn's psychoframes resonating. This is described as vision pouring into their heads as their minds being taken to different space-times.   -When their psyches reach the end of time the Neo Zeong (and Unicorn, though it's not seen in the OVA) start to crumble. There's no actual explanation...

Kuuga, Agito, Ryuuki) Urobuchi had already been hired to work on Gaim, but wasn't allowed to talk about it. It was pretty much just after he'd been contacted by Toei. -The interviewer reveals that Urobuchi had told him about this off-record that the belt was "fancy" this time, but when he heard rumours that it was fruit-themed he didn't believe even with this prior knowledge. -The fruit theme came as a surprise to Urobuchi too, because when he met with producer Takebe Naomi she said she wanted him to bring Kamen Rider back to the earl...

It is a system needed for people to keep themselves sane and deal with the unreasoning chaos of reality. Religion offers the story of salvation, for example. Likewise, morals and ethics could be defined as the most popular story of the people of the age. But while these stories are harmless as long as they're used to keep individuals calm, this changes when they're used as tools for a country or race. Stories like "jews are an inferior race that have to be purged" and "capitalists are devils and if you suicide bomb them you can go to heaven" brought about tragedies due to their popularity. For an example on a smaller scale, it's not uncommon that a story that one person...

UROBUCHI GEN (pg 58-94) -Interview is from before he was allowed to talk about being on board for Gaim. They allude to it but end with him saying he's not allowed to talk about it yet. -He says that working on tokusatsu is "probably" (once again, not allowed to talk about Gaim yet) completely different from working on anime, because there are a lot of factors outside the writer's control, like the belts. He "thinks" the writer is given the belt first and it told to write a story around it. Up till now he'd written stuff completely freely so it would be a huge challenge to him. -Most of the Showa riders aired when he was a young chil...
