Origin vs. Thunderbolt, Producer Talk Show Report Arrives!　Talking about production secrets and new information

The report of "Origin VS Thunderbolt Producer Talk round.4" has arrived.

Producers Ogata, Wakai, and Numatchi looked back on "Thunderbolt" and talked about the production secrets and new information of each work with producer Taniguchi and producer Ogawa, who represent Sunrise. The following is the report. The following is the report.

What did you think of the 4K screening?
Numa: Since the films were hand-drawn, the details were clearly visible in 4K.
Ogata: Scenes that you don't want people to see or scenes that you can't look directly at can be seen clearly (laughs).
Wakai: The scene where the arm is cut off is not in the original work.
Ogata: Director Matsuo said that he wanted to heighten Daryl's determination toward Io.
Wakai: That scene made me feel more emotionally involved with Daryl. Also, the music really fits in. The sounds are all in stereo, and it really conveys the fear of the Gundam. At the end, when Dr. Kara is about to blow herself up and the beam saber goes off, jazz music starts playing, you know? That's when it really hits you. It was like a Thunderbolt falling on my body. That's when I get really excited.
Numa: It's quite unusual for you to get excited by that (laughs).

Thunderbolt Impressions
Taniguchi: I am looking forward to the sequel. When I first saw "Thunderbolt," I thought it would be designated as R-rated. The original story is also quite extreme, so I thought that as long as it was not designated R, I could do whatever I wanted (laughs).
Ogata: I had Eirin-san look over everything, and I was surprised that they didn't give it an R rating (laughs). It was interesting that this was the first Gundam film to be designated R, but it was a bit of a disappointment (laughs).
Ogawa: I thought it was a tough job. I worked with the director, Matsuo-san, when I was a newcomer. (Director Matsuo) used to be much kinder to me (laughs).

(laughs) [In response to Ogawa P.
Wakai: (In Iron-Blooded Orphans) there is Gray's Ain, but what did you think when you saw the Psycho Zaku in "Thunderbolt"? (Laughter)

(laughs) [With Mr. Tomino
Wakai: I greeted him about 10 years ago and said, "I happened to see you on TV. Take off your federal uniform right now! Do something else!" (laughs). (laughs) I have continued to this point, haven't I?

To P. Taniguchi
Numa: Everyone is wondering about Lala's voice.
Taniguchi: The recording had already finished, but afterwards, Hayami-san had dinner with Ikeda-san and Furuya-san. It was great. I knew there was a big predecessor, so we were working in a very tense atmosphere. I am sure there will be many opinions, but I hope you are looking forward to it.
Numa: We know the first Gundam, so it will be great to see a slightly different Lara.

Lastly, I would like to say a few words about "Thunderbolt.
Ogata: I think everyone and I are tired of "Thunderbolt" (laughs). I hope to see you all again next year, depending on DVD sales. Until then, I hope you enjoy the "Gundam" created by the two of you here (P. Taniguchi and P. Ogawa) and prepare for the "Thunderbolt" that may happen in the future.
