#OUR LAST CRUSADE OR THE RISE OF A NEW WORLD SERIES#

I was even there during the entire scriptwriting process. If one of the directors wanted to make some changes to the story for the anime adaptation, would they discuss it with you first?įrom the beginning, we wanted the anime to be as faithful to the light novel as possible. They read the light novel very closely and thanks to that, they did a fantastic job interpreting the story and adapting it into an anime. The anime staff did a great job creating that fluid transition from crying to comfort.īoth (of the anime directors) got really into the light novel and knew it really well, so they had a good idea of what kind of face each character would be making during a given scene. She’s distraught and sobbing until Iska manages to comfort her and get her to smile. Or in episode 6, when Mismis finds out she now has an astral crest. You’ve got illustrations in the light novel, and of course, lots of panels in the manga, but I think the anime is wonderful because you can see everyone’s facial expressions and body language change in real-time.įor example, in episode 2 or episode 7, when Alice gets embarrassed, you can see the transition as her face gradually becomes redder and redder.

As for KimiSen in general, I think the expressiveness of the characters really makes it special. I really enjoyed the anime myself, and there are certain scenes in each episode that I particularly like. In your opinion, what is the reason for its success? Are there any particularly interesting scenes or aspects of the story that helped it become popular? The anime performed well during the fall 2020 anime season. Honestly, I’d describe the relationship between Iska and Alice as “affection,” rather than passionate “love.” They’re fighting against each other, but I also wanted them there to be an emotional side to the story as well. When I started writing KimiSen, I really wanted to put more emphasis on interpersonal and romance story elements, not to the extent of a conventional love story, but so that there was equal focus on action and romance. Sazane: Within the magical fantasy genre, KimiSen is what I would call a “Magic Battle” story.

In a recent interview conducted by Mipon, Kei Sazane, the light novel author of Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World (Kimi to Boku no Saigo no Senjō, Aruiwa Sekai ga Hajimaru Seisen or KimiSen), shared details on his involvement in the anime adaptation and more.Ĭould you explain what makes the series special? How do you make it stand out from other magical fantasy stories?
