New interview with Furukawa on the Revue Starlight movie. BIG info on the origins of Mr. White and the Suzdal Cat. I guess he also talks about his influences and what the team was trying to accomplish with the movie too.

The prop and outfit designers deserve a raise.

I watched the live commentary on bilibili and I couldn't understand much but during the finale of the film Furukawa talks by himself for a long time and it seemed really interesting. Usually they would back and forth between himself, the vice director and the writer but he had a lot to say towards the end and they just let him run with it. If anyone can speak jap I'd love to know what he was talking about

>「全部説明しないと伝わらない」という風潮を強く感じる現在の世の中で、これだけ抽象的な表現を用い、かつキャラクターの感情でドライヴするような映画を制作できたのは凄いことだと思います。
Oh hey, the interviewer is me.
>みんな作品を「なるべく簡単にストレスなく所有したい」と言いましょうか。「わかった自分」が重要になっちゃっていて。トロフィーを棚に飾りたいみたいな。だから検索して出てきた情報にすぐ飛びついちゃう。「幾原さん」「ウテナ」「ピングドラム」「庵野さん」「エヴァ」みたいな。それって何かの「答え」なの？ ただの「情報」では？と。

>ちなみに「考察」みたいな行為を否定しているわけではないですよ。「考察」は自分と作品の関係を深めたり変容させたりする豊かな楽しみ方だとも思います。でも同時に「あの映画、良くわからなくて自分には合わなかった、ツマンナイ」でも良いと思います。
If I'm understanding this right, Furukawa is also me, but I already assumed as much.
Also, Furukawa talking about how to him the core of the series is the nine characters feels like it might be one of those deniable jabs at the ever-expanding cast.

One final note from the interviews I like is the discussion about how to capture the feeling of uniqueness of a performance (which is natural in live theater) in a format that can't change (animation), and how part of the way he got that across is Nana and her twist. I think that he managed to nail that feeling, and that's the reason why I see more people talk about wanting to watch Starlight for the first time again than I do for other shows, despite how small of a group we are.

I liked that part too. For the most part I just thought of Nana's character as part of the story "because it's a story" without appreciating how she also helps communicate that uniqueness of the stage to people who aren't aware of it themselves. I also liked when he was talking about the mascots how you need to have meaningless things every once in a while to relax the audience, because forcing them into drama all the time can wear out its impact. I think a lot about what makes movies and other things interesting but I don't think enough about how the audience would feel. It makes sense that you can't just put good things all in a row and expect it to just work.

>you need to have meaningless things every once
This reminded me of what Oshii said about having "noise" in your films. He thought that in live action there is stuff that exists in the films that isn't necessary, but in animation since everything is drawn it's all completely intentional. So he wanted to add things that didn't have any specific meaning to his works to emulate that "noise". He said this is what the birds in Patlabor 2 are but I wonder if he was just being coy because I always thought the use of birds was meaningful.
Anyways, since Furukawa has spoken about his respect of Oshii I wonder if his philosophy comes from a similar place
Aaron Cook
From the other things he said about the relationship between live action and animation it probably does. The comment about how live action is able to maintain reality because it can't help but capture it while animation actually has to simplify it quite a bit to feel real, since throwing the audience into the actual setting of a drama school could end up alienating them was interesting too.
Lucas Anderson
Seeing that actually brought me back to Shakespeare, since his tragedies will almost always include scenes of a drunkard or some sex jokes, because he knew a thing or two about writing, and on of those things is that just being depressing for two hours isn't going to land well with an audience. You need some light in the dark, some nonsense in the meaning, and so on and so on.
I may have just had a strong sake.

>I may have just had a strong sake
Considering what happens next, the drawn out ambiguity of this line being repeated sets this weird tone brilliantly. Imagine if that part wasn't included, and the blood spray just started immediately after the fight ended, I don't think it would've had the same effect at all, it would've been too much of a tonal whiplash. The sake line transitions the high action revue to the shocking deaths, and that seems to be why it's included, not because the words themselves actually mean anything in particular.
I'm really interested in using language and words in ways other than their intended meaning, so this kinda thing is really cool to me.

I would watch this series if it weren't for the fact that I was filtered out of the first episode.
>the friend got cucked by mc's childhood friend
Why do they do this? why do they want to filter us so much?
