MC: Then what was your favorite story to work on?
Ishidate: I dont have a favorite or second favorite, but there is one that made quite the impression on me. It was the first episode I directed; the one where Nagato and Asakura fought. No matter what I thought of, it didnt fit in the allotted time. I began to think this is useless when Kigami-san told me Well work on this all night. I immediately said yes. That evening, Kigami-san went home and came back with the original novel. He waited, sitting beside me reading that portion until we were finished. It took us until 4-5 in the morning to finalize it, but I made sure to remember that walk home together.
Kigami: I dont remember that at all though. (laughs)
Ishidate: What?! (laughs)
