Reflected in Gongora during our conversation Inspired by the creative process and development of the creative process of pop culture, inspired the role inspired by the joint cooperation Fuga yamashiroAnd how to contribute to a common creative vision and random artistic disagreement The label team Ebb and the flow And, and Season two early production.
This interview was edited for clarity.
Isaiah Colbert, IO9: The season ended with a gap in doubt that more enthusiasts. Was it always a start plan or did the decision occurred during the development of the decision to wait for two seasons?
Abel Gongora: It was decided on the beginning – it’s more like a decision of the scenario. They already have manga, so they will be able to see where they want to cut, and it was seen very early in production.

IO9: Around this time, shaded silhouette and courage, the opening of the contension is entering a joint director instead of managing the opening. The opening director caused this slip to be the opening director of the co-chair of the season of the season?
Gongara: I started to help after the opening [Yamashiro] Also. I participated in the project, then I realized the important things to know as the story of the characters. It was a kind of smooth because I am already in the season [one] a little. The production is really hard – it’s a lot of work to make a season. It would be good to have two directors, so it is not very difficult in one director during the work season. At the end of the season, I started with all the designated designs we were at the end, then decidedly decided, so I slowly started [directing] Season two.
Io9: And, andThe subject of the opening with creeping nuts became an instant fan and even won several anime prizes. Sequence offers a clear nod to pop culture iconography UltramanShow mix daring stylistic options with unique energy. Do you have a personal favorite moment inspired by this creative direction and the opening sequence?
Gongara: At that time I talked to the director of the season [and] He gave me a general freedom because we worked together for a long time. More or less, knows my style. Just asked me to use it Ultraman In reference – those silhouette pictures. He says, “It’s okay as long as you use it. You can do what you want.” So I started watching Ultraman And I started finding some ideas on how to use it and I added something extra to make another kind of scenes in the opening. We did not want to have the normal appearance of the show so it looks like bright fancy colors – a little more special looks a little more special.
I showed all the ideas and concepts of the director. Liked. Then I started the story board when I got the song. I thought that the song was really cool, so it was excited to make a storyboard because you should feel a sense of rhythm and find the idea for the rhythm of the song. Yamashiro was really open to everything. It was difficult, but it was fun.

My favorite part is the silhouette I do. And then some rough animated cuts made by a guy in the team, which is a truly incredible animator. I was very happy because I could ask if he could do it on paper and pencil. The picture is on the screen, like paper grain. If you stop the frame, the paper of paper then has a real pen. This is something we don’t do anything in animation. It is kind of like a lot of work and very happy this animator did it. It was very nice. Also, I wanted to push this rough style, as a result I am a composition. Yes these parts are my favorite in the opening.
IO9: Two openings, “I’m on my way” to follow a similar approach to the use of silhouettes like the end of the Aina, or a completely new meshing with Ainin’s poppy?
Gongara: It will be completely different. I can’t say much but it will be really different and I’m happy about it. I think it’s incredible. I wanted something different, because otherwise it may seem like trying to make a good thing again and I thought it would be interesting. Yes, you will see.
io9: in Evil You mentioned that the director’s interview, horror films and Hong Kong cinema and draws and draws and help shape your approach Evil arc. What movies help you nail And, andActivity-Two horror atmosphere in two seasons?
Gongara: The main reference for And, and would be Ultramanof course. I liked Hideaki Anno’s new version Ultraman, Shin Ultramelle. There is also kaiju and things like this, so I really liked it Shin godzilla and Tire fireplace rider. There are also some general points with kung fu movies. Sometimes a similar storyteller shares by influencing the other. For example, such as the growing crush on the face of a character, such things are used in both media. We try to analyze these things.
I am very impressed Foreigner movies. This is also appropriate And, andThe fictional part of the science and very terrible. I think the original Foreigner It’s a really incredible movie. I do not think that there is a movie that confuses all this, but we try to get the idea and overall effects by watching many movies. I think Yamashiro-San would do it.
IO9: The first season was a great visual performance that diligently changed between the expressive animation, which is growing every moment. Are there any special scenes of the manganese pushing creatively in the studio in two of the season? The moments of the moments allowed to take everything to another level, but prove to be difficult to cross the finish line?
Gongara: (laugh) We are in the middle of [production] today. We sometimes try new things like mixing 3D to help animators. Sometimes we have ideas that cannot be done by traditional animation or would be crazy to do. We try to find out how to use 3D in a more creative way. There’s a little bit Eviltoo. We practice a little with 3D. There are many new music in the season and we do a little experience in the way we use.
Io9: You and Yamashiro noted that it did not work together before. How to create meshing your both styles And, and Season had two? Has children prove that you don’t agree with creativity or have a rough feeling process that works in a seamless passage for two?
Gongara: I think, of course, [Yamashiro] There is a more serious presence because you decided everything you see in the season, and I tried to follow his direction. Of course, we do not agree to everything. But half of the season is divided. It doesn’t look like a complete half-half. There is the first arc, then get the second arc and then return to the third arc and then he does something. We share it, but we still participate in both. Sometimes he helped to add some story panel parts or some ideas and I would also check it with him [on] Colors. Some designs should decide because it can appear in both episodes and episodes of some designs. We always work together.
There is this background we work together in many projects. [We’ve worked] We have previously learned more than him with the masaki yuasa. So we have similar vision. We agree to many things and our relationship in animation and cinema are similar. We love to push the perspective and love the expression of the characters, maybe more than other directors. It is not very difficult for both [of us]I hope. I can’t talk to him but I think I think it’s usually smooth.
And, and In this July, two premiers in Netflix, Crunchyloll and Hulu. Evil He hits theaters on June 6.
