The second song “ANEMONE / Symphonic Psalm Eureka seveN Hi-Evolution” in the 3rd part of “The Symphonic Psalm Eureka seveN Hi-Evolution” was released in Japan on November 10th. The official website also disclosed the interview to supervise Jingtian confidant. And the meaning of the positioning and title of this work, the position of Anne Monet in the play and the use of 3DCG. .
First, ask the title of the book “ANEMONE / Symphonic Psalm Eureka seveN Hi-Evolution”, Kyoda said that this is a request from the propaganda department, “Do not want to use ‘2’ as a subtitle directly”, then you have to take a more It is able to symbolize the title of the entire work, so I chose “ANEMONE”, but there is no other choice. .
In the notice at the end of Hi-Evolution1, the second story is the story of Anne Monet. Kyoda said that the basic concept of “ANEMONE” has been fixed from “1”. The production form of “1” is the result of continuous verification by the production staff. Because of various restrictions, the production method of “1” has to be chosen. It is better to say that the concept of the work must be in this form. For the “premise.” Then it was “put it now, what must be done”, which gave birth to “ANEMONE”. The first concept visual map was drawn by conceptual designer Fuan Kenichiro, which is completely different from the past. .

“ANEMONE / Symphonic Psalm Eureka seveN Hi-Evolution” concept visual map.
The background burning city is Tokyo, and the series is the first stage in Tokyo. At the opening of “ANEMONE”, there is a mystery called “Eureka” around the earth, which emits toxins and is on the verge of extinction. . The 7th Eureka that appeared in Tokyo – called “Eureka seveN”. For Eureka seveN, people are helpless. This conceptual visual map clearly conveys to the audience such a desperate Tokyo. In addition, Kyoda also said that “ANEMONE” can be used as an independent film, just like a disaster film, hoping to bring “end of the world” and “despair” to the audience. .
The hero of “ANEMONE” is “Another Monet” in the world – Ishii, Fenghua, Anne Monet. In the play, Anemona lost her mother very early, and her father participated in the battle of Eureka seveN when she was 7 years old. After seven years, Anne Monet personally participated in the battle of Eureka seveN and transmitted her consciousness to the “inside” of Eureka seveN. .
“1” begins with the death of Langdon’s father, Adlock, this time also starting with the death of Anne Monet’s father. Why do you want to describe these “sad processes” in the play (※ a series of cognitive processes of the parties, including face-to-face loss, review of events before and after death, and psychological separation from the deceased). Jingtian explained that many children in the world have lost their parents for various reasons. When parents disappeared from their children, they were in a mood. This was what Jingda had been thinking about before doing Hi-Evolution. For example, there are friends who have left the world like this, and what kind of words should be given to them as friends of the parents of these children to encourage them. The final thought is, “They leave, but they don’t mean they leave you alone.” This is the idea that Kyoto wants to join in Hi-Evolution, but it is not very good at the stage of “1”. Show this idea. So in “ANEMONE”, Kyoda decided to convey this idea more positively and unreservedly. Therefore, Anne Monet’s “sad process” will eventually become the “sad process” of the universe.
Regarding Langton and Unika in “ANEMONE”, Kyoda said that Langdon also asked everyone to read this article, and it will naturally be clear. And the Unika itself has already appeared in the PV, which is the green-haired girl that Anne Monet encountered when she transferred her spirit to the inside of Eureka seveN. This can be said to be the movie of Anne Monet and Unika. In a sense, Anne Monet played the role of Langton to contact Unika. From the perspective of Anne Monet, I have to re-learn the role of Unika. Unika is like a little princess. If you are not good, you will be hated by girls. It is such a beautiful card that has the meaning of being with Anne Monet. .
About Dominic, Kyoda said that he can’t say much, this time he also stood on a new position with Anne Monet. However, the main axis of this story is Anne Monet and Unika, so it acts as a support for Anne Monet and exerts all her own charm. .
As for other characters, Kyoda said that the uncles who appeared in “ANEMONE”: Anne Monet’s father, Dui, Beyer, he is very careful, hoping to show their handsome side. The story of Yin is directly related to Anne Monet, Dui and Beyer are the opposite, but their inner performance will be reflected in action. .
The world relationship between “ANEMONE” and “1” is expressed in a special film size. In “ANEMONE”, the real world uses the standard screen size, and Eureka seveN’s “internal” is the “1” world used in the past TV series 4:3. In addition, “ANEMONE” also uses a smaller screen size than 4:3, which is actually the size of the phone. This is the photo and video left by Anne Monet’s father, an important memory between the father and the daughter. .
The machine is still completely hand-painted as in the past, and Kyoda is also appreciative of their performance. This time, instead of using 3DCG in the character part, it occupied about a quarter of the whole article. Basically, BONES, which is far from 3DCG, has used 3DCG in the role part, which is of interest. It is Graphicinica who is responsible for this 3DCG, and Kyoda has worked with them in the CG movie “Explored from Paradise”. But this time it wasn’t the team that worked at the time. From the experience of working with Graphicinica and the past works, Jingtian was very reassured that they could make interesting acting. Naturally, Jingtian also understands that although the current 3DCG is making rapid progress, there are still shortcomings, but this is only a matter of time. As far as the status quo is concerned, it is enough to support the whole work. There is also the need to maintain a high-quality picture of hand-drawn animations, and the burden of painting supervision is gradually increasing. If I use 3DCG, standing in the position of an animation director, Kyoda believes that it can reduce the burden of painting supervision. .
Of course, it does not mean that the amount of 3DCG used has decreased. Jingtian said that the 3D part is equally strict with the painting. After all, it is an image made by the 3 rendering 2 animation methodology, so 3DCG is also good to draw, and there is no change in essence. The completion is completely determined by the person in charge. Using 3 renderings 2 to express the characters, can not escape the skills and flaws of the hand-drawn animation itself, but also have to use them to solve the uncoordinated part of the 3DCG. The second half of this climax was completely handed over to the 3DCG class, and the comic film-like fun performance was vividly expressed. Please pay attention to it. .
Kyoda said that the original fragment was originally commissioned by them, but under the constraints of many aspects and the results of multiple verifications, it is most suitable for the second half of the climax. 3DCG is the pillar of the second half, and the first half is handed over to the superb mechanical hand-painted team. These two pillars prop up the climax of animation. At the same time, Jingtian hopes that all the staff can feel the participation in the works. In the fun.
As the second part of “Hi-Evolution”, “ANEMONE” tells the story of Anne Monet’s encounter with Unika in the “sad process”, connecting the story of Unica, from which the story of Unika began. And it is the sublimation of “Eureka seveN”. This is the request that was made when the Kyoda et al. was convened again. It was also the part that was extended from the 2006 TV series, and it was because of the changes that need to be made to make this film now. For example, the famous line in the play “Do not ask, learn to fight, if so, finally get.” This sentence was naturally established in the early 2000s, but it is a bit awkward now. What ANEMONE has to do is to upset the “unnatural” part of Eureka seveN and present these possibilities in the new form to the present. .
Finally, Kyoda said that “ANEMONE” is a very simple film. The climax part is also like the comic book of the past. I hope that when you look at it, you can feel your feelings through the perspective of Anne Monet or the perspective of Anne Monet’s father. .
