It is set in a Western-style fantasy world and the theme is the monster hunting carried out by the hero and heroine. While there are many comedy elements, there are also serious developments and sometimes sexually extreme depictions, which has attracted many readers. Aren't you curious about the people who are making this much-talked-about anime? In this article, we would like to introduce the production staff!
First: What kind of story is it?
After graduating high school, Kikuru Madan got a job as a "guard" who defeats monsters, and he spent all his time training and practicing, and before he knew it, he hadn't met anyone. Kikuru wanted to quit the guard and go to college, but there was also the problem that if Kikuru quit, the town's security could collapse. Enome, a guild employee who thought that Kikuru was quitting because he had no opportunities to meet people, introduced him to Hitamuki, a beautiful beast girl, but Kikuru had been thinking of making Hitamuki his successor and quitting himself. However, Hitamuki was very weak, so Kikuru decided to train Hitamuki so that he could retire in peace. In addition to Hitomuki, many other rookie guards are taught by Kikuru, but they also have their pros and cons and it is difficult for them to get along. Kikuru laments the fact that he is moving away from the youth he had imagined, but he deepens the bond with them.
Director: Takuya Asaoka
The anime director is Takuya Asaoka. He also served as director for "Redo of Healer". He is also in charge of storyboards and drawings. On Twitter, he often retweets tweets from the production team and voice actors, which shows his thoughtfulness as a director, wanting many people to know about the people involved in his works. He also talks about storyboards and actively tweets about his work. The image is Asaoka's Twitter icon, but is it an illustration of dedication?
Series Composition: Fudeyasu Kazuyuki
The series composition is handled by Fudeyasu Kazuyuki. A Capricorn from Ishikawa Prefecture, he often works under the name "Fudeyasu Kazuyuki" in hiragana. He mainly writes scripts for animation. He has been involved in various anime works, but in terms of famous works in recent years, I think that the "Is the Order a Rabbit?" series, which can be seen in the image, is closely related.
Character Design: Hiraku Kaneko
Hiraku Kaneko is in charge of character design. In addition to character design, he also works as an animator and director depending on the work. He is famous for his style of drawing female characters as voluptuous or muscular, and has a strong preference for breasts and other parts of the body when it comes to movement. It is said that this is related to the fact that Kaneko was strongly influenced by a senior animator.
Music: Ryo Shirasawa
The music is by Ryo Shirasawa. He belongs to a sound production company called Noisy Cloak. He is good at fast-paced sounds using guitars. His sound genres are mostly rock and dance music. He has been in charge of many game background music, and some of his famous works include the app versions of "Shin Megami Tensei V" and "Everybody's Golf".
Summary of the Production Staff
Even when making one anime, it is clear that it is made by various people, including the director, scriptwriter, character designer, and music director. Every role is essential to anime production, and many people work hard to make the best possible anime. Anime is broadcast as a matter of course when you turn on the TV, but thinking about what goes on behind the scenes in anime production may help you enjoy it even more. That's all for now. Thank you for reading.
