Up until then, I had always said I wanted to work in animation, but I never got the opportunity. I thought the chance would come eventually. I wondered when that would be, and then <em>Yamato<\/em> came along.<\/p>\n<p>When I heard of the theme for <em>Yamato<\/em>, I was a little taken aback, wondering why I had to work in the world of \u201cBattleship <em>Yamato<\/em>,\u201d which has a war story image. The animation I wanted to create was something with a new, more fairy-tale-like design. In terms of my previous works, I think <em>Galaxy Express 999<\/em> was closer to what I had in mind.<\/p>\n<p>When I heard the word <em>Yamato<\/em>, I thought about something more in line with my own tastes. It&#8217;s a story that belongs to the hobby category, like airplane mania, battleship mania, tank mania, etc. In terms of my feelings about animation, it had to be something that I would enjoy myself.<\/p>\n<p>However, there aren&#8217;t many opportunities to actually get involved with animation. I started out thinking \u201cOh, this is so troublesome,&#8221; but <em>Yamato<\/em> was the ship I boarded. I don&#8217;t regret it, but it&#8217;s been a very long voyage. I&#8217;m a little tired, and I sometimes wonder if it&#8217;s time to call it quits.<\/p>\n<p><em>Space Battleship Yamato<\/em> is an important work that gave me the opportunity and place to make animation. It has given me a world of sensory samples, struggling against the intense impression I had of animation as a boy. It is a fundamental question of whether I am walking together with the people who watch anime.<\/p>\n<p>This is a theme that will never leave my mind, no matter what I create in the future. For me, this is an important work in the sense that if I had not done it, there would have been no future. I also put a lot of passion into it. It was the gateway to my other animation works. If you think of it in terms of training, <em>Yamato<\/em> was elementary school, <em>Galaxy Express 999<\/em> was junior high, and <em>Harlock<\/em> and <em>Queen Millennia<\/em> are college.<\/p>\n<p>I think <em>Space Battleship Yamato<\/em> could be better if we could think of a direction that allows it to be interpreted a little more freely. Animation should not continue to deprive the viewer of the freedom of their senses. I also have some regrets that I didn&#8217;t make it in a way that was was relaxed, fun, and warm, not just about love and justice. I should have made it in a casual way either for good or ill.<\/p>\n<p>Because it is a very important work to me, I think I need to know when to quit, or when to move on, so <em>Yamato<\/em> doesn&#8217;t end up in a sad way. Parental instincts begin to arise, since parents don&#8217;t want to leave their children to fend for themselves.<\/p>\n<p><\/br><\/p>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/003b'>Return to previous article<\/a> <\/p>\n<p><\/br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38804","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38804","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38804"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38804\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38806,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38804\/revisions\/38806"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38804"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38804"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38804"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
