Ep14. [After-talk] Kyoto Animation's new work 'Nijusseiki Denki Mokuroku' / The appeal of 'Tenmaku no Jadugar', #1 in Kono Manga ga Sugoi! 2023 Female Category!

Kyoto Animation's new work features truly beautiful depictions of light.

Mido-san passionately discusses 'Nijusseiki Denki Mokuroku,' set in Kyoto during the Meiji era. The delicate interplay of 'steam and electricity' in the work is more beautiful than live-action, and it seems the audience is instantly drawn into its world. She felt that the sparkle in the eyes of the female characters, in particular, was filled with the attention to detail unique to Kyoto Animation.

'Tenmaku no Jadugar,' depicting the unusual fate of a young girl, is also a must-see.

Another featured work is a profound historical story set in 13th-century Iran. Contrary to the cute art style, the image of a girl trying to survive using her wisdom after experiencing a harsh ordeal deeply touches the hearts of listeners. We touch upon the initial developments of how the thirst for knowledge intertwines with the history of the vast Mongol Empire.

Why not spend a moment being healed by visual beauty and the depth of the story?

Mido-san's words about the power of anime animation and storytelling convey her deep love for these works. The program also talks about the unique intensity possessed by works based on Akita Shoten originals, content that will intrigue even those who are not necessarily anime fans. Furthermore, perspectives for enjoying these works more deeply are shared, so please listen to the full episode for the rest.
