On February 24, “23:00 Saga Meishi Anime”, a very short anime in which voice actor Miyano Mamoru does his best to show how delicious “SagaMeshi (Food)”, reached the final night of its 10-night run.
To coincide with this, a “full version” of the previous 10 films, each of which is 30 seconds long, and a “more Miyano Mamoru” version, which features a lot of dialogue from Miyano-san, the star of the film, were released.

The “23:00 Saga Meishi Anime” was produced as a part of Saga Prefecture’s information dissemination project “Saga Prize!” It is a very short animation that shows how delicious and attractive 10 foods that Saga Prefecture is proud of are.
Among the many “Saga Meshi” such as “Takezaki Oysters” from the Ariake Sea, “Saga Beef(R)”, and “Saga Ramen”, we picked up mainly winter foods that are in season. With Miyano-san’s voice, the 10 ingredients were portrayed in a realistic and sizzling way for 10 consecutive days starting from February 15 at 23:00 midnight.

The “Complete Version” is a compilation of all 10 of the 30 second films in the series, and the ” Increasingly More Miyano Mamoru” is a gorgeous version with lots of Miyano-san’s dialogue.
In addition to the narration introducing the ingredients, Miyano-san is also in charge of the sounds of eating, such as the sound of noodles being slurped. The animation captures the truly delicious moments of “Saga Meishi”, and Miyano’s passionate performance with a sense of sizzle is worth watching.

Also, on the “23:00 Saga Meishi Anime” special website, a web video of Miyano-san talking about the charm and highlights of the anime “23:00 Saga Meishi Anime” has been released from 23:30 on February 24.

The video was filmed just before the release of the full version, and highlights include Miyano’s expression of superiority at being able to watch the work before anyone else, and a rare post recording scene where he sings the last word of the unfinished “Increasingly More Mamoru Miyano”. In the scene where he eats “Saga Meishi,” he actually puts the food in his mouth to create a realistic sizzle, and other production secrets are revealed.

Miyano-san, who is now completely captivated by “Saga Meishi”, also announced his favorite ingredients, and the scene where Miyano-san smiles and smacks his tongue at the ingredients is worth watching.
