Articles
Friday, 26 October 2007

SHINICHI "NABESHIN" WATANABEActive Anime had the pleasure to do a quick interview with anime director Shinichi Watanabe (Excel Saga, Nerima Daikon Brothers, The Wallflower) during Oni-Con. Hear what Mr. Watanabe's anwsers about himself, The Wallflower, piracy, and the world being Nabeshinized.

 

 

 

 


Note: There will be two voices in the audio file, as Tomo (translator) will ask the questions and translate Mr. Watanabe's answers.

• What drives you to create and direct anime?


• When did you realize you want to create and direct?


• When you started n the business, did you envision that your work will be popular outside of Japan?


• What it is in The Wallflower that made you direct the show?


• Other than good-looking naked men, what else can the fans expect from The Wallflower?

• You are probably the first Japanese artist that spoken about piracy in front of the American fans; do you plan to spread the word, and you hope that other Japanese artist would follow what you just did.


• When can we expect the next work from the great Shinchi Watanabe?


• Is there anything you want to say to the anime fans out there?




Active Anime would like to thank Mr. Shinichiro Watanabe and his crew and the good people of Oni-Con for allowing this interview to happen.
We hope to see you next year in Houston Mr. Watanabe!!!

The Wallflower manga is distributed by Del Rey Manga
ADV Films has the rights to the animation and will release the first DVD on December 18
