>>2170705I think you're talking about me... Yep, I didn't go anywhere. Alright I'll do a quick translation while I'm still sober enough, since this contains an interesting information or two.
>Lastly you directed the two seasons of the TV show Black Lagoon for Madhouse, adaptation of the manga by Rei Hiroe. This is a change in themes compared to your last works : action, violence...>Truth be told as soon as the end of Princess Arete it was my intention to work in a project with lots of guns. The same urge made work on the full motion videos for the game Ace Combat 4. These projects matched a mandatory phase for me, where I should work on that type of universe. Black Lagoon deals with a much harsher reality than Kiki. Also I perceived in Rei Hiroe's manga a little more than just an action manga, a story with dark characters who, like Revy, have a sordid past. She suffered from a certain number of abuses from her father in her youth that she ended up killing. I allude to the murder of her father indirectly in the opening, with a scene where we see the feathers of a pillow flying at the moment when she's killing her father... You know, I spent a certain amount of time with the mangaka to discuss with the underlying stakes of his story, everything that's behind the scenes that I then tried to reflect in the anime.Holy shit. The feathers in the first two seasons' opening. I never made that connection...
