TOWER OF GOD VOICE ACTORS SERIES

Sano: When I receive a job, I try to do everything I can.īIC: You’re a veteran of the anime industry, having worked as a key animator on vintage series such as s-CRY-ed and Sakura Wars 2 to serving as director for more modern series like Sengoku Basara: Judge End and, of course, Tower of God. We didn’t interact directly, but I found him to be very open-minded when it came to producing the anime.īIC: Have you worked on any other series that were challenging to adapt? Sano: The webtoon editor served as our go-between. If it’s being broadcast, I can only assume it went well.īIC: How closely, if at all, did you work with series author Lee Jong-hui aka SUI? Sano: I leave corresponding with the partner to the producers.

How was your experience working with the company’s production arm? Did you enjoy any level of autonomy? Naturally, we were very careful not to allow it to be leaked.īIC: Had you previously heard of or read Tower of God before signing on to direct?īIC: Tower of God is one of the first series to be produced by Crunchyroll.

Takashi Sano: We thought it would be difficult for the production staff to read the LINE Manga format, so we had the story up to the point we would animate turned into manga-style books so it would be easier for the staff to read. Did you find any differences or challenges in adapting a Korean manga for an anime versus a Japanese one? Takashi Sano (Sengoku Basura: End of Judgement, Transformers: Energon, Lupin the 3rd films and specials)īounding into Comics (BIC): Korean manga are presented in a unique format, typically reading from top to bottom in a continuous image as opposed to the typical horizontal page guided by frames. Thanks to Crunchyroll, Bounding into Comics was able to speak with three of the team members who made the season possible, Director Takashi Sano, and voice actors Ichikawa Taichi (Bam), and Miyake Kenta (Rak) and discuss their approaches to their performances and their perspective on the overall production. However, as one can see from our weekly reviews of Tower of God, Crunchyroll surpassed expectations and delivered a well-crafted and beautiful series. Audiences had every right to be skeptical of the end result. It was the the first adaptation of a Korean webtoon, undertaken by a brand new production studio, helmed by a veteran director and featured a mix of veteran voice actors and relatively new talents performing as the central characters. Though you wouldn’t believe it after watching its debut season, Tower of God presented Crunchyroll and its production team with a unique combination of challenging and uncertain circumstances.
