Fall 2018 Anime: Official Twitter Hashtags & Pages
I already miss the summer. There is something about feeling the sun on your skin and the taste of ice-cream that makes the season a favorite for many.
The first movie of the new Yuki Yuna movie trilogy was released on 18 March 2017. Its full title is Yuki Yuna is a Hero: Sumi Washio Chapter Part 1 ‘Tomodachi’ (Yuna Yuki wa Yuusha de aru: Washio Sumi no Shou 1-Shou ‘Tomodachi’). In this movie, the character Mimori Togo (Sumi Washio) from the TV anime Yuki Yuna is a Hero will be the main character. The story will follow the first 6 episodes of the second series of the anime (due for October 2017) combined into three movies.
A stage event was held in Shinjuku’s Wald 9 at the premiere. Suzuko Mimori (as Sumi Washio), Kana Hanazawa (as Sonoko Nogi), Yumiri Hanamori (as Gin Minowa) and the producer Tetsuya Kinoshita came together on stage.
After talking about many different topics, they shared their thoughts on the premiere. Hanamori said, ‘I look forward to comparing how the characters are in the series and how they are in the movie.’ Hanazawa said, ‘It’s heartwarming, a good atmosphere that can only be found among elementary school students.’ And Mimori talked about the transformation-scene and what kind of impression she received.
Of course, they also introduced their own characters and Mimori thought back to the recording for the TV series, ‘Mimori Togo was someone who changed a lot and went through a lot. But I always think “I could do it back then, so that’s fine.” and so it becomes confidence.’
Finally, the cast members were asked to describe the series with one word. Here is what they said:
Producer Kinoshita: Passion
Hanamori: Soul
Hanazawa: Thai curry
Mimori: Bravery
When the fans heard the word ‘Thai curry’ they also wondered what it could mean, so Hanazawa explained: ‘At first, one can taste the sweetness of the coconuts, but if you keep eating it, the spiciness makes it hard to eat. But in the end, you want to eat another plate.’ Even though the story does become darker as it goes on, it is hard to stop watching once you start. In the end, the guests thanked the fans for their support and were sent off with a huge applause.
