Adaptations from manga or light novels generate plenty of excitement drummed up by existing fans, but brand new titles have to work a little harder to capture our attention. One such original anime is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DECA-DENCE,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which became an unexpected highlight of the Summer 2020 anime season and established itself on Anime Trending\u2019s charts in the later weeks of the season. In only 12 episodes, the anime told a thrilling narrative filled with twists and turns, all supported by beautiful visuals and music to really complete the package.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a recent interview with Mipon Anime Tourism, Writer and Director Yuzuru Tachikawa shared some insight on how he crafted this unique anime.

The director and several producers originally met to construct the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> plot, which writers converted to an actual script. After the final episode was written, though, they chose to go back to the beginning and rearrange the story in several places. This was crucial in the pacing of the episodes, especially for setting up the many cliffhangers to create suspense.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft

400;\">DECA-DENCE<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s unique setting is carefully crafted, even more than the anime itself would lead us to believe. Tachikawa shared some ideas that he had written about the world, even though they were never directly relevant to the anime\u2019s plot. For example, there are cyborgs who do not play the \u201cDECA-DENCE\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>. Those cyborgs were all created by various different corporations, and they serve all kinds of purposes according to the company that created them. The DECA-DENCE fortress was first built hundreds of years before the anime\u2019s story begins, and the integration of Gears living alongside humans and fighting Gaddoll was something that happened gradually over time. He compared this kind of assimilation to how foreigners living in Japan was once a new and strange concept, but today, it is completely normal.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The idea of \u201cbugs\u201d was a major theme of the story, on which Tachikawa had this to say:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cI think \u2018bugs\u2019 are simply defined by rules someone else made. They\u2019re considered problematic from someone else\u2019s viewpoint. So this series is somewhat about rejecting that idea and living by what you think is right. And also that change is a natural part of life. That\u2019s a theme of the story but I think you can also apply that to the real world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img

episode 7, the first time Natsume opens up to anyone and pours out her feelings. Upon hearing this, Kaburagi resolves to take action and really kicks off the turning point of the series. Tachikawa said upfront that his favorite character is Kaburagi, as he personally relates to his hard-to-read expressions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Perhaps most importantly, Tachikawa stated that he does pay a great deal of attention to the fans online. He always looked online to see reactions to episodes and to see if audiences responded the way he expected them to. For example, the OP was carefully planned so that you could watch it and anticipate the overall story arc, but Tachikawa wanted the fans to enjoy analyzing it regardless of whether or not their predictions were accurate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">While it is difficult for overseas fans to directly support anime in the current industry, Tachikawa emphasizes that even simple gestures like creating fanart can go a long way to show them that they are gaining fans. While a second season isn\u2019t currently planned, it sounds like the idea isn\u2019t completely off the table either.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=20HgRYq_nQQ\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=20HgRYq_nQQ<\/a><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All 12 episodes of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DECA-DENCE<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are currently available on Funimation.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Source: <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mipon.org\/interview-yuzuru-tachikawa-deca-dence\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mipon<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and KADOKAWA<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\uff08C\uff09DECA-DENCE PROJECT<\/span>\n            <\/div>\n<p><script>\n                (function(d, s, id) {\n          var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n          if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n          js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n          js.src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.9&appId=269442613521839\";\n          fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n        }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n        <\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more anime-manga articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/anime-manga\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">anime-manga category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/anitrendz.net\/news\/2020\/10\/19\/inside-the-mind-of-deca-dence-director-yuzuru-tachikawa\/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=inside-the-mind-of-deca-dence-director-yuzuru-tachikawa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Inside the Mind of DECA-DENCE Director Yuzuru Tachikawa&#8221; Anime-original works are tricky for audiences to anticipate, since we can never be entirely sure of what to expect.
