AngelbeatsEt une interview...

Summary of Interview:
* Around the time when work on Little Busters! was finished, Jun Maeda was approached by Aniplex's Toba(?) who said that he wanted to work together. The official presentation was in October of 2007.
* "The story takes place in the afterlife." "The main characters are all dead persons." "Battles are a highlight [of this series]."
* The main characters have all led unreasonable lives previously, and belong to the SSS (Shinda Sekai Sensen, Dead World Battlefront), which battles angels(Angel?) in order to rebel against God, who had bestowed them such a fate. Their leader is Yurippe.
* The SSS members use guns and the angels use supernatural forces in battles that unfurl.
* The main characters have led unreasonable lives and then died, and thus are rebelling against God. The story of their rebellion against God is intended to hopefully convey a feeling of "life is wonderful, and even though it is unreasonable at times, it is still precious."
* Na-Ga was chosen by Maeda at the beginning of 2008.
* Yurippe's design is supposed to be that of a girl with "a demanding(?) personality, an air of leadership and long hair."
* Maeda: "Since my current favorite heroine is Persona 4's Yukiko Amagi, heroines obviously should have hairbands!"
* About 30 or so characters (including minor characters) have been designed.
* In the SSS, in addition to Yurippe, there's a Decoy Squad and a Tsurikichi.
* The Decoy Squad "Girls Dead Monster" (GalDeMo for short) would put on a sudden live event to grab everyone's attention and Yurippe and the main squad would carry on their battle plans. A(?) tsurikichi is a professional at baiting.
* Na-Ga: "I've completed the designs, so right now I'm just waiting to see if there's more work to be done."
* Maeda: "I've finished the general structure of the story and the plot for all the episodes."
* Opening and Ending Themes are currently in production. If possible, Maeda(?) would like to have a hand in the composition of all the vocal songs. GalDeMo song(s) are also slated.

Que dire donc de ce nouveau projet de
Key, qui pour rappel est à l'origine de Clannad, Kanon, et Little Busters, qui puisse se révéler intéressant ?
Tout d'abord, contrairement à leurs habitudes, cet anime ne sera pas adapté d'un de leur visual novel. Ce sera donc de l'inédit total de ce côté là.
Côté synopsis, l'histoire se passe... Dans l'au-delà. Personnellement, en tant que fan de
Key, j'en suis rassuré ! Parce que franchement, on n'aura pas à avoir peur de voir mourir tel ou tel personnage. Avec Clannad, j'ai dépassé mon quota de stress post-traumatique, alors une telle nouvelle fait du bien.
L'héroïne, à gauche sur l'image, fait parti d'un groupe nommé SSS, qui a pour but de se rebeller contre... Dieu. Rien que ça. On peut imaginer que le paradis est une véritable dictature ^_^
La fille de droite est quant à elle un ange, et le combo fille mystérieuse + cheveux bleus devrait plaire aux Otakus de tous poils !
La série sera, contrairement aux habitudes de
Key, orientée action, tendance flingues et pouvoirs mystiques... Quand on voit de quoi ils sont capables avec un simple dictionnaire, on se dit que le résultat va être exceptionnel.
Encore une série que je risque de suivre avec énormément d'attention...
