Shigeto Koyama / Eureka 7 AO panel na Fanime
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=38212383&postcount=386
Not to break up the speculation, but I thought I'd report back from the Eureka Seven AO & Shigeto Koyama panel. It was pretty nice to see the first three episodes up on a big screen. Here are some of the things that got brought up in the Q&A, transcribed from my meager notes:
- during one of the first few questions, Koyama asked the audience who had seen the original E7 and about two-thirds of the room put their hands up, to which he responded with "ooh, sugoi!"
- apparently he was the one who designed the Compac Drive from E7 (along with that ramen-delivery box thing that Renton used on occasion)
- they deliberately avoided using CG for AO not just to keep the feel of the original E7, but also, according to Bones lead Masahiko Minami, mecha animation should be done by hand, especially since the more that stuff goes to 3DCG, the less there is to do for many talented animators, so the hand-drawn stuff helps their careers keep going
- one person tried asking a question about what the AO universe is, which Koyama dodged skillfuly, though he did note that AO is for both fans of the original E7 and newcomers alike, and that even just the first three episodes have many hints and foreshadowing
- asked why he keeps doing mecha shows, Koyama says he himself loves mecha anime; he mentioned that he likes Wings of Honneamise, but when he watched it as a kid his reaction was "why isn't there a robot in this?" He wouldn't mind having a chance to do a bishoujo/moe series though
- he has a lot of respect for mecha designers from the 80s
- someone asked him if he'd rather pilot an EVA or LFO, which made him laugh; he said that an LFO would probably be easier to pilot and that he probably wouldn't be able to properly sychronize with an EVA anyway
- for TV shows, the most difficult designs are those that appear in the first episodes, since there's the least feedback available on how well they work with the show -- for example, Ao's hairstyle went through many many revisions before they finalized it
And that's what I managed to write down. Sadly I didn't win one of the autographed raffle prizes they had (awesome huge promotional AO posters), but it was still a good panel and I'm looking forward to his other two later this weekend. If there's any questions you guys have let me know and I'll try to see if I can get them in!
