While Mobile suits wheat gquuuuuux (“G-kwuuks” announced), which is the latest entry in the long-lasting military science-fi mobile phones franchise, was announced first in December 2024, mostly focusing on the fact that no other than Neon Genius Evanzelion The creator will work on the headquarters in the Ino series.

While Ino is really mandatory GquuuuuxHe is not a director. It would be Kazoia Tosoromici, which is the brain behind the Apochal mobile phones FLCL And of 2004 Dyebuster.

POLIGON: In recent interviews, you have emphasized that Mobile suits wheat gquuuuuux Parallel is not the story of the universe, but a “history of alternative historical war”. Why is it important that the audience understand this discrimination?

Kazuia Tosuromaki: When it comes to wheat series, it is often said that there are two important pillars. There will be a universal century, and then there will be another alternative. So, whenever there is a new release, the fans will ask, “Which one is going to be?” And in fact, the recent film IT, it can fit this question, but in fact it can be a very different framework. This is very interesting in terms of positioning in this project. Therefore, it is a part of the universal century series, in a sense, but not as we know. This is actually different from what we know before, and this is something we really like to communicate and keep through the film.

Yi Enocideo, co -author of Mobile suits wheat gquuuuuuxSaid you and he used to talk a lot about wheat while working together FLCLAnd that you made fun about making a wheat mobile phone about Chelia Bill. What is the bill as a character that attracts you, and why was it important for him to play his role? Mobile suits wheat gquuuuuux?

Answering this is probably a difficult question, but let me try. So when I am trying to present a series within the universal century, I noticed that it is very important for me to make a wheat that is (dealing with the concept). I know this is a very important concept I really wanted to translate and include in the film. So when I look at the world, there are actually different roles, but I noticed that Chelia Bill has a very unique position. And I would say that its role is a more firm character because when it comes to New Type characters (such as Amro -ray or Kamley Buden), they are more ignorant, more childish, perhaps bid and unstable. But when I am trying to portray the (New Type) character, I want to photograph someone who is more adults. And in terms of the bill, I noticed that this section has not been fully discussed before and has not been photographed. So I felt that this expression would increase the understanding of this character. That is why I chose it as an important part of the film.

I think the tribe of battles look at two people fighting Mobile suits wheat gquuuuuuxDid you think? They remind me of this incident Neon Genius Evanzelion Where Shinji and Asoka worked together to fight the angel using dance routines. Do your work affect your work in every way on the Evangelian franchise? Mobile suits wheat gquuuuuux?

The idea of ​​the fights for the tribes was not directly affected by the Evangelion. However, I Neon Genius EvanzelionThere was an incident where Shinji and Asoka had to harmonize to attack angels, and Evengeline: In the New Theater Edition, there was an event that showcased a double entry plug system where two pilots had to compatible to run an Evengelian unit together. When you photograph characters in war stories, I found the theory of two roles that have interesting support, so now I am using this concept now Mobile suits wheat gquuuuuux.

More than 25 years have passed since your directors start FLCL – hOh do you think you have grown as a director since working on this mobile phone? How does your taste and sensitivity change?

You say okay; I really have passed over 20 years FLCL. But from my end, I don’t really think that I have grown so big. For,,,,,,,,,, for,, for,,,, for,,,, for,,, for,,,, for,,,, for,,,, for,,, for,,, for,,, for,,, for,,,, for,,, for,,, for,,,, for,,, for,,,, for,,, for,,, for,,,, for,,, for,,, for,,,, for,,, for,,,, for,,, for,,,, for,,, for,,,, for,,, for,,,, for,,,, for,,,, for,,,, for,,,, for,,,, for,,,, for,,, for,,, for,,, for,,, for,,,,, for,,,, for,,,, for,,,, for,, for,.Laughs) I will really be 59 years old, but within myself, I think of myself in the thirty -three. And so, in terms of mindset, I don’t really think that the time I was making has changed a lot or has increased a lot. FLCL. But one thing I can definitely say, in terms of physical strength, I think I’m old. So on the contrary, it is very difficult for me to move forward to work at the time of extravagance.

Are you surprised at all? FLCL Has it been collected in the last 25 years? Did you know that the “Breittle Pill” re -creation of the event, Developed by more than 300 dynamicIs getting premiere on the 25th birthday series this weekend?

I was not really familiar with the incident! So when we initially created FLCLWe did not make it so that it could be appreciated. Over the years, I just developed something I wanted to make, and as a result, it turns out that it is still being greatly appreciated. But we didn’t really expect it. And one thing I can say, however, is that there are many fans who appreciate it. So for example, the main theme song this time (for) Mobile suits wheat gquuuuuux) Kenshi Yunzo has handled, and he really told me that he had thought that FLCL Was very fun and exciting. So from time to time, I listen to these comments and they tell me that they love FLCLSo it really makes me feel good that I worked hard to make this piece.

This is not your first time when a dear mecha franchise is re -imagined. You jointly instructed the new theater version of Evengelion films with Hydeki and others, and you first instructed. DyebusterInu’s sequel Gunbuster. Re -imagined for you that has been the hardest and exciting part of Mobile suits wheat?

For (Neon Genius Evanzelion), I was part of the original staff. So, to join my remake, I felt that I just needed my responsibility in which I was used to habit and I worked hard for it. For GunbusterActually, I can say that I am honest with you, I am a great fan. I guess maybe I am the number one fan Gunbuster In Japan, so for me to create a new series, I found that this was actually a natural purpose and I was very confident in handling the new series. But when it comes to wheat, it was a bit different. I’m a fan, but I’m not such a big fan that I felt confident enough to make a new wheat series. So when the producer initially suggested to me about this idea, I was a little surprised and I told him that I might lack confidence.

You have described Mobile suits wheat gquuuuuux As a “Cold War” story, the roles that are living in the midst of a secret war are being tampered with the remnants of resistance to the Zion and the Earth Federation. What do you mean to tell the story of a “Cold War”?

The first director of wheat, Mr. Yoshioki Tamino, was in fact known as the physical war. Obviously, he was not actually participating in the war, but I believe he was there. He spent in World War II, he knew his atmosphere how it was. However, I personally do not know about physical war. I just know about the Cold War. So during my childhood, I could really have this feeling of the Cold War. There is no direct war near me, but I was afraid that we do not know when the war can explode and when. And so are the experiences I did in my childhood. And I felt that because of this experience, I could actually photograph it in this regard.

As the director of both Mobile suits wheat gquuuuuux And the mobile suit wheat franchise fans, what is your personal favorite mobile suit?

Hmmm … Gallong My favorite mobile suit.
