Hirohiko yoshida, also known by the name Kouki Yoshimune, is the CEO of the company that manages the developer age and also the creator of the multimedia franchise by Muv-windward. In a recent program he commented on fan complaints after the premiere of Muv-Luv-Alternative: The animation, and in fact, he pointed out that he’s not happy either with the limited involvement they allowed him in the production.

Yoshimune’s broadcast is not subtitled, but the most important passages have been transcribed into Japanese so that translation is possible. Yoshimune commented: «I wasn’t really into anime production except for the first episode, so I’m surprised at the omissions, but I look at it with a “well, that’s it” feeling. If you think of it as a one-arc series, since they featured Komaki (the character with glasses) in the first episode, they’ll likely end it all here. I don’t expect them to see the Sado Island Arch. cover up“started.

«I don’t blame them for removing the entire general war ability test in episode three. (Omission) If we follow the original story, the next episode will be the actual training of the tactical plane and the blizzard will appear, so it’s worth watching … I guess they want to show that (the combat scene with tactical planes) because it’s a mecha story. In the anime, the pilots’ costumes were changed and replaced with real weapons to reduce the weight of the drawings“He continued.

«I think the resource decision was made because if they were to perform the entire martial arts exercise correctly like the original work, they would probably have to do all of the drawings, which would have reduced the quality even more. It is said that this season is full of good anime projects, but if you look at it differently, it means that there is closer competition between everyone. There are a lot of mecha series this season so there must have been more competition than usual, and I picture the animators at Muv-Luv Alternative: The Animation having to choose from limited resources.“He continued.

«I think it’s a wise decision, but I also understand the fans who say, “I don’t understand why they’re doing this so badly.” We are professionals and what we produce, we get. This industry situation is completely irrelevant for the customer. And it’s okay for fans to complain because they love the original material, but I don’t feel like saying “Please don’t be negative” either. However, please do not complain about the animation to the animation staff or the voice actors on their social media or comment forums. It’s not human to hold someone responsible for something like this who doesn’t have the authority to control it on the spot, is it? I’m glad you like the original material, I’m sure you’re mad because you love it. In order to take on this responsibility, there is a management company in the animation sector. In this case Avex Pictures. If you have any complaints about the content, e.g. B. “Too much redundancy”, please communicate this.“., Closed.
