SIMMER TALK!

There is always this complaint of “being objective in one’s writing”. I always feared that I can’t express objectivity or “neutrality” properly, or just eing completly false and giving out the wrong information. By using such phrases such as “fairness”, it feels like you’re trying to get the most people to like you.

In the end, one’s thoughts are always an opinion. No matter how big of a following or popularity of one’s website, no one should be lofty above another and words shouldn’t be dressed in eloquent language and perceive as fact because it “feels good”. Without watching/playing/reading something for yourself, and while only following someone else’s eyes fiercely, why carry and share a personal opinion that matters?

When you read a summary of something, your consciousnesses will tell you, “I believe in this one part speaks true to me” or “that’s exactly what I was thinking”. It is natural. At least, shoot for that expression from readers. It seems that the words “opinion” and “fairness” caused this consequence of attracting friends or foes. Then when is freedom of speech or criticism really well done?

Saintia Sho’s illustrator Chimaki Kuori has been feeling some heat due to the animation quality and direction treatment of Saintia Sho’s animation. Within the Staff of Seiya, there is always fervor for this series. Once again, the line between slander and rebuke should be realized.

Three more questions/comments and that’ll conclude this interview. The question about the Mule was partially covered in the first part. It is still a bit muddled compared to the rest of the questions.

―この世界で「ミュール」と呼ばれる、所謂ロボットに関してはどんな路線を想定されていたのでしょう?
The robot is known as a “Mule” in this world, what “route” is this robot supposedly related to?

―CDも2枚発売され、ドラマパートも披露されたわけですが、何か具体的に見えてきたところはありますか?
CD and two works are released, drama part is also exposed, what exactly is seen [the contents]?

―まだまだこれからアツい展開が待っていそうですね。本日はありがとうございました!

#雷神八系ZANAM Run-Down


LINKS:

To keep it orderly, here’s the first run down on the EIGHT THUNDER GODS ZANAM series, the topics I’ve covered, and its latest story. Bold means they’re elaborate in details.

STORY/CAST (from official website)

風神であるカノンの元へ、古代(オリジナル)ZANAMが持っていた“刀”を届ける為、
雷神達を乗せ地球からやってきた外交使節団・戦艦イオ。高度な科学技術で造られた、地球によく似た景色の火星。ひと時の平和の中、邂逅する雷神と風神。
紐解かれていくZANAMの謎。そして「ファム・ファタール」という言葉の意味・・・。
運命は既に動き始めている。”地球の地表”を巡る月と地球の攻防。忍び寄る第三勢力の影・・・。激化する惑星間戦争の最中、「殺さず」の教えを守るカノンは、果たして生き残れるのか!

The battleship Io doing a diplomatic mission from earth and carrying the Thunder Gods, delivering the “sword” that the original ZANAM once had, towards Kanon of the Fujin (Wind God).

Through high technology, Mars’s scenery looks like [our] Earth. Only for a short time, there is peace, then a chance encounter: The Raijin (Thunder God) and the Fujin (Wind God). There is the mystery tied to ZANAM. Also, the meaning behind “Femme Fatale”. Fate has already become to move.

On the “surface of earth”, over the month, offense and defense of earth. The shadow of a stalking third force is gathering. In the midpoint of more violent, interplanetary war, abiding to the idea of “killing”, can Kanon really survive?
