I always love these sorts of stories! It really shows how much dedication the actor has to their performance and their character.I saw an excerpt from the book that someone had posted where Megumi talks about how connected she's become to Jessie as a character over time and how she only ever requested one change to Jessie's character during the anime's run because she didn't want Jessie to come across as rude or overly bossy. I thought that was a really cool story! It was awesome to read about how she felt she understood Jessie so well and when she believed the character was doing things that didn't fit how she herself perceived Jessie, she spoke up about it.
That short excerpt alone got me very excited to read the rest of the book! She's a really wonderful writer and seems like an even cooler person.
Hmm? That's Jessie in a nutshell.Jessie to come across as rude or overly bossy.
I’m at work atm but I will share this in the next couple of days when I’m off!It’s impossible to me to buy it for the moment.. TT_TT Please could you tell me what Megumi said about the character of Kojirou? Thank you very very much
Plenty. Not just Pokemon but other series like Minky Momo too. If no one else does, I’ll give you a rundown when I get a chance this week, but I suggest if you’re really interested you buy the book.Any mention of Shudo?
...That is a gross oversimplification. Fair enough when talking about a CotD who has literally just one or two personality traits, but you’re talking about a main character of 24 years who has been in nearly a thousand episodes and is one of (if not) the most complex character on the show. Yeah she’s bossy and sometimes rude, but ‘in a nutshell’ she’s also so much more than that. Megumi, understanding this, asked for the producers NOT to reduce her character down to just these qualities.Hmm? That's Jessie in a nutshell.
Oh, thanks for sharing, looks like they left it as-is with footnote translations (the best decision in my opinion).
Oh my God! What a beautiful picture ! Is there the same kind of image for Kojirou? I need so much this book but it’s impossible to download it in Belgium TT_TTShort answer:
Longer answer in case it is inadvisable/illegal to share that image is that yes that page is included and yes the comments are translated, although Me-Gumi obvs not as good in English
There're some pictures taken from the show where he shows up, but other than that no. All original artworks are only based on Hayashibara's characters only (in manga-based shows, they are all made by the mangaka themselves, which is interesting).Oh my God! What a beautiful picture ! ❤Is there the same kind of image for Kojirou? I need so much this book but it’s impossible to download it in Belgium TT_TT
Seeing her in her old design is so nostalgic, wow. I didn’t realize she had such a change between then and now, especially in her eyes.
Jez said:Is there the same kind of image for Kojirou?
Really shows the computer animation vs human drawing.
Why would a similar type of image be included in a book about Megumi Hayashibara? She doesn't voice Kojirou.
Both are drawn by human artists though...?
The only thing different now vs. 20-some years ago is the medium (pencil on paper vs. tablet and pen)
Generally when people talk about computer animation, they refer to CG renders and such. I wouldn't consider a hand-drawn image, even if it was drawn on a tablet, an example of computer animation and I don't think there would be a noticeable difference between animation using cells that were drawn on paper and animation using cells that were drawn on a tablet.Considering Tablet is a computer, its computer animation, since its animated on a computer.
