Director: Shinji Ishidaira
My first impression was "That way! I was so impressed with the punchy power of the story.
That was the first time I read the original work. It was the very first episode.
In many ways, I was familiar with the genre, or perhaps I was proud of the fact that I had a hunch that this type of work would be like this, but I was pleasantly surprised to be outwitted.
When I was asked to direct the anime adaptation, I was convinced that "this would surely be a hit in the anime! I was more like, "Let me do it! I was in a "let me do it!
For the past 10 years, I had many opportunities to work on fantasy, battle, and gag works, so it had been a long time since I had worked on a suspense work... and it wasn't often that I would get to work on a work that would make me say "That's it! It's not often that I get to work on a suspenseful film.
It's a little bit special among my works.
Both the production site and the sound system are immersed in the work with an unusual sense of excitement.
We are trying to reproduce the "shock when I read it for the first time" in the animation, so please enjoy the work!

Series Composition: Fumihiko Shimo
In this work, the main character is fighting against an existence called "the enemy of mankind. Right now (April 2020), a new type of coronavirus has spread throughout the world, and the battle against the "enemy of mankind" is just underway.
The "Incompetent Nana" was not created with this kind of situation in mind, neither in the original nor in the anime, but as a result, I think it is a very suggestive piece of work. In other words, I am now thinking that it may be an opportunity to think about the horror of deepening discord and conflict between people in the midst of fighting "the enemy of humanity.
Well, however, since this is basically an entertainment program, I hope that you will enjoy the adventures of the main characters, their activities, the crises and crises, the wits and wiles to overcome them, and the brain battles that sparkle with sparks. We hope you will enjoy the adventures of the main characters, their exploits, the crises they face, and the wits they use to overcome them.
