"Mr. Osomatsu", the ongoing TV anime , held an online Christmas live titled, "Iyami and Totoko's Merry Christ'Matsu'! ~Shey naru Yoru~(Holy Night)" on its official YouTube channel on December 24, 2020. Since the broadcast was held on the Christmas Eve, several voice of the fans waiting for the event had been posted on Twitter. When the live stream started with a title call, the spokesmen Suzumura Kenichi and Endou Aya with Santa outfits appeared on the stage, where the decoration is made specially for Christmas night. The event started with Suzumura Kenichi saying, "although it is little difficult to see each other at the actual event, but I hope we can have a wonderful Christmas Eve together". This live stream asked the fans "how they spend their Christmas Eve night" via letters in advance, and also welcomed the Twitter posts during the live stream. Many comments from the fans have been sent since the original goods will be given to the fans whose letters or posts were read during the event. Fukuyama Jun (playing Ichimatsu) and Kamiya Hiroshi (playing Choromatsu) with reindeer outfits appeared on the stage to show the original goods. Fukuyama passionately introduced himself. "I am Fuku-Reindeer-Yama Jun!!", while Kamiya made a fighting pose and said, "I am the Reindeer Man!" in front of camera. Twitter was put in the whirl of excitement since it is very rare to see them in reindeer outfits. Moreover, the rest of the casts of 6 siblings later appeared on the stage. Sakurai Takahiro (Osomatsu), Nakamura Yuuichi (Karamatsu), and Ono Daisuke (Juushimatsu) made their appearance through phone calls, and Irino Miyu delivered his message via a letter. The common topic among the casts were "how everyone was spending their Christmas Eves" and "the honest comments after completing the first half of Season 3". Regardless of the expectation to hear the honest negative comments, the casts agreed that they "do not have much negative feeling toward Season 3", and the casts are also surprised at each other for not having any complaints. In addition message cards from the story editor Matsubara Shuu and the director Fujita Youichi arrived at the event. Matsubara expressed his affection towards Endou saying, " I love Totoko. I love Endou-san", and director Fujita said, "after finishing 21 consecutive work days with one-day off twice, I do not feel well. I need HELP!" showing us how he's keeping being busy. The last section was review quiz. Four difficult questions related to each cast was shown on the screen. As a response to the question, "On episode 4-'Ichimatsu Radio', what was the family name of the fake director, who works for a fake show of Ichimatsu, titled 'Deep Night Hour'?", Kamiya commented, "it is little embarrassing if I get this wrong", and got the right answer, "Director Kanda!". The casts continued to worked together to answer difficult questions, including "On episode 7-'Dociking', what kind of a tree is displayed in the cockpit on the spacecraft, where Choromatsu is working as a pilot?". At the closing, all 4 casts seemed to enjoy the event. Kamiya commented, "I realized again how fun Mr. Osomatsu is!", while Endou sadly commented, "It is very sad to end this event, since I did not expect to participate in such an entertaining party as an adult". The live stream will be archived until 11:59 p.m. on December 31 on the official "Mr. Osomatsu" YouTube channel. (C) Akatsuka Fujio/Mr. Osomatsu Production Committee

The animation studio Tonko House is known for its short featured "The Dam Keeper" that was nominated in the "Academy Awards 2015". The latest original anime of the studio is "ONI" and it was revealed that the script will be handled by Okada Mari, known for "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day", etc. Tonko House is an animation studio founded by the ex-Pixar staff, Robert Kondo and Tsutsumi Dice, and it is situated at both California, America, and Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture. The latest work "ONI" is an original work by director Tsutsumi Dice that is inspired by the world setting of Japan's folktales. The story takes place in a world, where eccentric God and Youkai existed just like a Japanese myth. It depicts the tomboy, Onari, who is enjoying a life freely, training daily as she adored the great hero mentioned in the legend, but her father, Naridon didn't inform her about anything as he is a weird God. Then, the threat of "ONI", who was feared by the mountain Gods since ancient times, is approaching... The script of this original work will be handled by Okada Mari, known for the scripts of "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day", "The Anthem of the Heart", A Whisker Away, etc., and she is also quite popular outside of Japan. As the main language during the production of "ONI" is English, the final script will be in English, and this shows the exceptional selection for a Japanese creator. Currently, detailed information about "ONI" such as the release date, has yet to be announced. Also, as the member limited project of Tonko House's online community "Dirty Pals", the conversation event between Tsutsumi and Okada will be held online at 1:00 PM, on October 23, 2021. Do check out the official website of "Dirty Pals" for more information. ＜Below are the full comments＞ Tsutsumi Dice ■ About the look In order to look for a visual that is perfect for this unique story, we have tried various methods, including hand-drawn, photo-shooting, and CG, and the result of that is this look. There was fixation on the hand-made warmth aura just like the warmness from the creators of Japanese traditional folk crafts as well as the expression on the coloring and light that is important for Tonko House. ■ About working with Okada Mari First, I would like to give my thanks to Netflix for their support to this unprecedented arrangement as this English work will start with a Japanese script. I am a big fan of Okada Mari as a script writer regardless of the language barrier from a long time ago. She has written various fantastic works, but I adored how she has written the light and dark sides of the characters without hiding them as it is an important quality to me. During the actual discussion, we were able to create a wonderful script while giving out various opinions just like old friend in mutual understanding. Okada Mari After receiving the offer from Tonko House, I was looking forward to it while being nervous. That is because I was unsure whether I will be able to overcome the language barrier, the different production style between America and Japan, and other factors. However, all my nervousness disappeared when I read the proposal for "ONI". Toward the story of director Tsutsumi that approaches the unique past without any affectation, there are various parts that overlap with me and I believe various people will feel "This is my own story". So, I have determined to do it regardless of the complex problems. Regarding the production venue, I was surprised at the exchange of the lively discussion between the staff regardless of their positions, as this is part of the production process. That is because in Japan, it is important for everyone to focus on their own specialty, so it is difficult for us to receive opinions from people of other specialty. As I received advices from others on my script and also asked for my opinions on the animation and art, this made me feel quite close to the team despite working at different locations. Regarding the language, as the director and Tonko House had prepared a proper order, I was able to focus on my script writing. On top of that, I believe the vital part that forms the core of the story is the same in each country. I am honored to be part of the team ONI. "Article taken from Anime!Anime!Biz/ animeanime.biz"

The special program, titled "#Achikochi no Suzu-san ~Oshietekudasai Anata no Sensou~ (#Suzu-san Here and There ~Please Tell Us your War~)" that was derived from the movie "In This Corner of the World" (Broadcast on August 12, 2021), has featured Non (the voice of the main protagonist Suzu), Ono Daisuke (the voice of Suzu's classmate Mizuhara Tetsu), Omi Minori (the voice of Suzu's step older sister Keiko) as the narrator. "#Achikochi no Suzu-san ~Oshietekudasai Anata no Sensou~" is a special program of "#Achikochi no Suzu-san" project that searches for people that are similar to the main protagonist of "In This Corner of the World", Suzu, who is trying their best to live during the war. The theme for the year is "The life hacks that helped to survive the difficult times". The episodes of the "Nationwide 'Suzu-san'" of the regular people that were provided from the audiences were made into an anime with the narration done by Non, Ono Daisuke, and Omi Minori. Also, Nagahama Neru, an entertainer born in Nagasaki Prefecture, was invited to the studio and have an in-depth talk regarding the anime adaptation. The "two-way studio viewing" that is for high school students and university students was also held. "#Achikochi no Suzu-san ~Oshietekudasai Anata no Sensou~" was broadcast from 7:30 PM to 8:42 PM, on August 12, on NHK General. Non I had participated in the recital of "Achikochi no Suzu-san" this year as well. Whenever I receive the offer for this, it makes me realize how "In This Corner of the World" is a story of various people. The warming stories that were provided by the nationwide Suzu-san allow me to feel the situation at that time. Not only can I feel the fear in the war, but I can also feel the happy and interesting events that happened in the background as well, which makes me think that there is something important in it despite it being unrelated to me. It makes me realize once again how happy it is that "Achikochi no Suzu-san" is still ongoing. Ono Daisuke I was quite close to my grandparents. I would usually spend my time at my grandparents’ house from my mother side because my parents were busy working as my house is a furniture shop. However, I never once heard about the story during the war from them. I believe they didn't told me on purpose. I wish I had heard more about the time when my grandparents were still alive. I would like to know what their thoughts, feelings, and their memories. Thus, I did this wholeheartedly while thinking about my grandparent. Omi Minori Whenever I heard these insignificant daily stories, it makes me realize that there are numerous stories about people who were spending their daily life just like us in the unimaginable war period. Recently, our daily life is being restricted due to the spread of the coronavirus, but I believe that we will be given courage by the knowledge and insignificant happiness and joy from those that survived that extreme period. Also, in order to not forget about that period that was experience by the "Achikochi no Suzu-san", I will read out the stories from the Suzu-chan carefully. Nagahama Neru I feel relaxed to be able to participate in this program as I received peace education since I was young due to being born in Nagasaki Prefecture. It would make me happy if everyone could think again on what we should do now after receiving and being connected to the information.
