Houston Day 1 Con Writeup
-PV shown. Not much new info, maybe 10 seconds. I think there was a new cut involving Diane and one with Sucy(or Akko can't remember) looking at a flower. One long cut with Akko jumping around with a pillow and feathers flying. Nothing really substantial.
-Yoshinari didn't want to comment on completion percentage. Not close to being done.
-Aiming for a Fall release date for cinemas in Japan.
-Yoshinari working in hotel room. Obviously dead busy.
-Sushio and Nishigori doing key animation for LWA 2 (Nishigori was kinda cagey about it)
-Nishigori did say that he liked drawing the faces for Yoshinari character designs.
-Nishigori joked that he's been doing so much work for Trigger that it's time they repay the favor.
-Animation quality jump for LWA 2 compared with Terminator to Terminator 2 quality
-Yoshinari joked that it shouldn't be too hard to increase the animation quality.
-Murase-Easy for her to slip into Sucy role. More phrases for Sucy to say in the sequel (yay!).
-They are doing VA recordings already to some extent as Murase said it was nostalgic recording after two years.
-More battle scenes and stuff they didn't do in the first episode
-New outfit for Akko, sort of like a cloak (they didn't remember what it's for lol)
-More scenes outside of school (^probably what she wears outside of campus)
-New female character Amanda, female. Inspired by Ryuuko. [I didn't take photos cause I thought this would be in the artbook they were selling at the con. I was wrong.]
-Other new is Constante (sp? not Constantine though). Small female kid, engineer.
-Third new female friend. Big bone woman (thick). She likes to eat. Think Kanako Mimura.
-Yoshinari jokes that he's trying to ride the Big Hero 6 wave (of plus size)
-Background art looks like Kaneko again. Was picture of a park
-World takes place in modern day and they want to expand on that a bit.
-Boat in key visual is a float.
-Sushio wants to draw Sucy the most
-Sushio again doing key art and joked around that he wanted to impress Yoshinari. Yoshinari joked back with essentially 'Good luck with that'.
From LWA artbook being sold at con
Q&A stuff
-Production for 2nd episode is a bit more laid back with not having to teach new animators
-Koh not doing animation for LWA2. Big brother is scary.
-Some insane fangirl essentially asking how to join Trigger
-Someone asked what they thought of Shirobako and one of them replied that Shirobako didn't pick up on the 'darker side'.
Favorite Anime
Nishigori- Nadia and why he went into Gainax
Sushio- Kill La Kill (lol)
Murase- Childhood anime lies with Sailor Moon
Yoshinari- Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise (I actually helped out a bit and yelled out the english name Royal Space Force).
Wakabayashi- Toy Story
