A tweet thread from Yonkou detailing the highlights of the new interview with Tatsuya Nagamine:
Too many tweets for me to post due to the media limit, so to summarize:
- For Wano they'll be using a new composite studio, as well as a new filter to give the anime a rich feel. The actual labor on the anime hasn't changed much, but the computer programs that they've been using have been upgraded and so the quality has risen.
- He mentions to bring Oda's world to life for the Wano arc they have to take more than the animation into consideration but the sound (music and SFX) as well.
- When asked what he's looking forward to drawing in Wano he answers "absolutely everything".
- Oda gave the staff a lot of details and thoughts on Wano. He did a lot of research when he was preparing for Wano.
- Nagamine also said that he wants to fill the gap between audiences' imagination and the actual visuals. And he wants the anime to be able to express Oda's imagination too.
- When he became the Series Director for DBS, Shueisha asked him to "make a modern anime" According to the interview, he will make OP a modern anime too.
- He said that audiences can look forward to action scenes with a good tempo. He said he also has the will to power up the anime with fresh energy.
- Nagamine and the staff get to read the chapters a week before they're released in Jump. Despite that he re-reads the volumes because he enjoys seeing the SBS. He also thinks that we're approaching the "climax" of One Piece.
