In this issue, we will report on the lunchtime session and the interview held after the event.

The TV anime "Anime GATALISTS" is a completely original work that is set in an anime research club and features the main character, Asagaya Minoai, and her unique friends, and is filled with content that makes you want to "talk" about it. It is a popular fall anime work that has attracted much attention for its story, which is shrouded in mystery as to what the catchphrase "I accidentally destroyed the world..." means.

The screening session, where everyone talked about the story, was full of laughter.

Before the show began, the cast members announced the precautions to be taken and Director Morii and Advertising Producer Utsumi gave a short speech to enliven the audience. Director Morii referred to the line from the teaser PV, which can be seen on the official website and elsewhere, that "the fourth episode is the most interesting," and said with a smile, "The fourth episode is interesting, but the third episode is also interesting. What about the first and second episodes leading up to the third episode was revealed at the screening.

Takahashi served as the host for this screening, and the cast and director joined the audience on stage to watch the footage that was shown at the fastest speed in Japan. The film, which unfolds at a fast pace, is full of scenes, dialogue, words, and other material reminiscent of the classic anime, with many points that will make you grin all over the place. As anime fans may have noticed, each character's surname is derived from the name of an animation production company or a place associated with manga/anime, and the playfulness is evident in every detail.

As everyone watched the work, every time an anime reference appeared, the cast members would proclaim, "That's the one that just appeared, right? The audience laughed. When the homeroom teacher "Roppongi" appeared on stage, Hondo-san teased "Sengenki"-san, and Ito-san, who appeared wearing glasses to match the character, struck the same pose as the Musashisakai mass. The film was full of the fun that can only be had when everyone watches ...... together.

What was interesting was that the video shown included a good amount of time for commercials (the version shown as it was with those included). Therefore, after watching Part A, during the commercial time, the audience was able to enjoy the content they had just seen and then move on to Part B. It was a very real-time experience.


During the talk time after the first episode, which showed such a furious and impactful development, Director Morii was asked about the particulars of the first episode, and he candidly stated, "It has to stand out for now (so that the first episode will not be cut off). The "anime talk" of the characters, in which many "offensive" words are used, is also a major highlight, and Mr. Sengoku said, "I hope you will watch it with subtitles.

He also mentioned the characters played by each cast member. Hondo-san said, "The story starts with a mysterious dream (that Minoa has), so please remember the content of the dream," and Sengoku-san said, "I want Sebas, too (laugh)," referring to the capable butler "Sebas. Takahashi also said that Yui, who is not a member of the anime research club, "always shows us her sexy parts before the opening, so please look forward to it.

During postrecording, Mr. Ito, who is an expert on anime, often explains the original story, but as one would expect, he is not an expert on all genres. The first thing they do when they receive a script is to "Google (search the Internet) for the key lines," was the unanimous opinion of all the members. Hironori Kondo, who plays the role of Neko Senpai, said that he makes everyone laugh with his funny ad-libs.

The ending theme was performed for the first time in Japan!

The second episode has more in-depth content and dialogue as well as the title of the anime, increasing the fun of finding the original story. The details of the episode will be available on air, but be sure to pay attention to the passionate "storytelling" by the other members of the Anime Research Club. Mitsuki Nakano, played by Terashima-san, is handsome but actually has a strong personality like ....... Mr. Tojo reflected, "At first, I thought he was a cool and objective talker, but the direction he received made me realize that it was okay to show passionate enthusiasm. I was able to realize that it was okay to show passion and enthusiasm.

Director Morii also said that he "really played around" with the accessories used in the film and hopes that viewers will pay attention to the illustrations that appear on the screen. The season of the anime changes according to the season of the film, so be sure to pay attention to that as well. The cast members said, "I want you to watch it again (even after you've seen it once)," and "pause the animation for small items," among other things.

When they expressed disappointment that the ending was not shown in the second episode, Takahashi-san cut in and said, "You all want to see it, don't you? Takahashi-san then asked, "Wouldn't you all like to see it?" and Motoi-san, Sengoku-san, and Tojo-san performed the ending theme song "Good Luck Lilac" for the first time in Japan. The video of the characters singing and dancing at the end of the song was shown on the screen, and they showed a cute stage performance to accompany the song.

After the live stage, a VTR showed the stage at "Machi★Asobi" held in Tokushima Prefecture in May and the "CCG EXPO" held in Shanghai in July. At the live postrecording corner at the "CCG EXPO," Hondo said he was impressed by the way the local people responded to his ad-libs. In addition to the event, he also went on a food report tour of tourist spots and cut-out pictures, all of which will be revealed in a special program to be broadcast on TOKYO MX on October 1 (Sun.).

The screening was concluded with a big drawing for presents. Director Morii greeted the audience by saying, "It's going to get worse from here on," to which Mr. Hondo responded, "It's not an exaggeration, but rather an oblique level," and expressed his expectations. He added, "There are really a lot of interesting plays that can be done with anime as a subject, so I hope you will look forward to it. We won't even turn off the TV! We won't even turn it off for four episodes! We won't turn it off for 3 episodes, 2 episodes, or even 1 episode! Please keep watching! He also made an appeal to the audience.

New cast information has been announced, and the Earphones (Riyo Takahashi, Marika Takano, and Yuki Nagahisa) will appear in the fourth episode, so be sure to tune in for the full anime broadcast on October 8 (Sun.) and the live Internet program that will be broadcast just before each episode!
