A large part of the Saturday panel focused on ventilation of creative choices linked to season two, including its opening sequence, Yamashiro spends a lot of time unpacking color theory and visual inspiration behind certain sequences using storyboards and animatics. This included noting several ways of launching nods Ultraman. “The theme of this opening is the life of Okarun and how he sees Momo,” said Yamashiro. “You will notice that the animation images are in sepia or in black and white until Momo takes his hand, then he turns into color. So, the world that Whitarun sees changing, and it is the POV of Okarun.”
After noting that in a specific sequence, he used the shadows and figures of characters to draw direct references UltramanThe director continued by explaining how his color theory, which extends to individual characters (“the evil eye is like a blue purple, the worm of Mongolian death is yellow”) was applied differently in season two, where he had more time to focus on this one than the first season when “planning was very difficult for me”.
Yamashiro added that it allowed the dominant color of a sequence or even which wins in a fight to be shaped by “who takes care of this scene” and that he increased the strength of the color and the use of the mixture in sequences. “The first season, you just had yellow or red. In season two, we wanted to do something different,” he said. “So, if you look at the panels for the number two and three, it’s half the blue yellow.”
Later in the panel, when asked Yamashiro to find out if the English dub tackles the diaphony of the signing of their characters and if it is difficult to do, Trott and Beckles shared how he improved the realism of the interactions of their characters.
“It happens in English, but I think it is one of the things that makes this show so cool and natural,” said Trott. Beckles added: “It’s a little more difficult, but it’s very fun. When we save it, we do it individually, so we have a lot on the director to make sure we all sound well together. And, of course, we take bearings of the Japanese [voice actors] Do an incredible job. I think it makes the scene so much more alive.
When asked what their favorite moments of other actors were, noted that for him, the “character who steals the series is Turbo Granny. So when I watch the show and I hear [English voice actor] Barbara [Goodson] Go, it’s incredible. Obviously, I knew him about his work on Power Rangers And things like that when I was younger, but hearing her now and being part of something with her is really a blessing. It brings such a flavor and comic power to the show. »»
Trott and Yamashiro also teased musical elements that arrive in season two, especially episodes 18 and 20. “This concert hall and group scenes were really, really difficult to work,” said the director. “I think that has come out well, and I hope you like it too.”
Towards the end of the panel, Yamashiro also took a moment to encourage fans to continue watching the series to help continue its race beyond season two. “When I came last year to Anime Expo, and we created episode one, the fans really accepted my work, and they were so excited about it. It gave me so much energy to continue working on season two. So, I hope that during season two, I can get the same amount of energy on your part, so that I can continue next year,” he said to the season, “
