Joker Game Cast Comment: Hosoya Yoshimasa

>–Please tell us your impressions of this work–

I read some of the original work for the audition, and I found it to have a very profound atmosphere, so it didn’t give me an impression that this was a going to become a full-scale anime. I really like the atmospheric ambience of the Taisho, Shouwa eras, so I hoped that Odagiri’s turn would come out as soon as possible.

>–Please tell us something about your character–

Yuuki came to recruit Odagiri when he was in utter despair with his life, so I think he’s a diligent person who frantically killed his own heart so he can be dyed by the D Agency. Concerning the direction and performance of the character, I wasn’t entrust with an instructions or explanations, rather it was all left in my charge; therefore, I acted based on what I thought he would be like.

>–Please give a message to everyone who is waiting for the broadcast–

In one sentence, it would probably be “A Story of People Regenerating”. Because everyone feels differently, I will just be happy if you all feel something from this. Also, I didn’t talk much in episode 1, but in his episode Odagiri will talk a lot (laughs), thank you very much for your cooperation.

>“Unable to become human”

>>143131120
>depressed spy

So that's why Odagiri an autist that can't communicate normally in the drama tracks.

Sort of want.

Even though the writing could get really convoluted at times, this is still one of my favourites this season. I've gotten way more attached to it than I ever could've imagined when I started. I hope it'll do well enough for a season 2, eventually. (And maybe I can quench my newfound thirst of historical dramas with '91 days' this summer.)

Joker Game Drama CD 2: Cast Comment

>–Please tell us your impressions of any scenes or lines after the recording–

Yuuki ・Horiuchi Kenyuu: Contrary to our expectations of a composed work, the Metropolitan Police Department D section’s characters are all very open; unlike the anime it takes in a different direction, leaving you with a succession of laughter. Yuuki is just the narrator, but the more seriously I did it, the more I laughed!

Miyoshi・Shimono Hiroshi: Spies and Special Investigation Sections, are pretty similar…. Is what I thought, but it was completely different from the serious atmosphere from the main volume, that I was quite puzzled. Though my feelings are undulating, we must send this CD out so while I had fun, I was also was troubled.

Kaminaga・Kimura Ryohei: His personality wasn’t drawn out in the main volume, so it was interesting to see it strongly expressed here.

Odagiri・Hosoya Yoshimasa: My frank impression after the recording: “I’m glad this was a drama CD”. If the script was expressed through pictures, Odagiri would lose his lines (laughs). That’s why I’m glad to have safely received some lines.

Amari・Morikawa Toshiyuki: I think I could have been made into a good police officer. While I understand that anything can happen in a parody, Amari is just so out of it (laughs).

Hatano・Yuki Kaji: Unlike Hatano’s easy-going attitude in the main volume, I feel like he became an all out tsukkomi character. (laughs) Personally I enjoyed the neighborhood sports event episode. Enjoy Hatano getting teased about his height! (laughs)

Jitsui・Fukuyama Jun: The world is so different than the original work, so I tried acting on the surface of my character. The gap is amazing. (laughs)

Fukumoto・Nakai Kazuya: The ever so elusive, mysterious man, I was surprised to see this unknown side to Fukumoto. I voiced out a cry that he would never do in the main volume. I feel like I have a deeper understanding of him so I feel closer to him.

>>143135613
Tazaki・Sakurai Takahiro: In this parody, Tazaki is pretty easy to understand. It’s a huge gap from the main volume, but putting that aside, I enjoyed this parallel world.

Sakuma・Seki Tomokazu: Since this is a parody about detectives, I had fun acting with renewed spirits. However even in a different world, Sakuma’s earnesty is still going strong. What kind of chemical reaction occurs with the other characters in this changed world? Please look forward to it.

>>143135650
>–Please leave a message for everyone who is waiting for the release–

Yuuki ・Horiuchi Kenyuu: Everyone, please enjoy the character’s playfulness. Let the anime be serious and have the parody explode as it wants, even when I acted in this, I had a great laugh. Please look forward to it!

Miyoshi・Shimono Hiroshi: The D Agency members only gathered together in beginning and end, so like the stories in the TV shows I enjoy, “Documentary Program”, there were plenty of detail of everyone solving each case . If you like, please listen.

Kaminaga・Kimura Ryohei: While they are still excellent, look forward to the dismantled D members!

Odagiri・Hosoya Yoshimasa: This is a parody to the composed, serious world of the main volume, however if you view this as a side dish of some sorts to the main show, I think you’ll be able to relax your shoulders and enjoy it. By all means, please look forward to it!

Amari・Morikawa Toshiyuki: Please don’t look forward to Amari’s activities. He’s too my paced and free spirited, so he won’t be doing any outstanding performances (laughs)

Hatano・Yuki Kaji: It’s a bit different than the main volume…. No it’s totally different (laughs). Please look forward to the Joker Game world.

Jitsui・Fukuyama Jun: I’ll be happy if everyone enjoys the gaps of the characters in this parody. I await your reactions!!

Fukumoto・Nakai Kazuya: We have so many characters gathered in one spot, so it’s kinda a ‘we must do it otherwise it’s wasteful’ kind of cd. Of course look forward to your favorite character, but this unobserved has a time charm to him so please enjoy his appearance.

Tazaki・Sakurai Takahiro: Since this is about the police, it has some connecting features to the main volume. Please enjoy this cd as you imagine the characters act without any restraint.

Sakuma・Seki Tomokazu: Thank you for all your support. You probably watched the main volume nervously with your heart was pounding, but please laugh and enjoy the drama cd.

>>143135613
>>143135650
>>143135684

Some had fun, others seem to be worried that the comedic nature of the CD is inappropriate for the series. I wonder what the original author of the novel thinks of the light-hearted sketches?

>Shimono saying chamomile in Russian

>ensemble cast at last episode

This is a really good way to end it.

I liked this show but the ending didn't feel like an ending. I'm pretty disapointed after the fantastic first two episodes that it just stalled. The cases were kind if cool I guess but everything, including character death felt really inconsequential minus the first two episodes and the one with the british e.t.

this would have been so much better if it kept the theme of old Japanese thinking vs modern spy. first 2 episodes were good, rest was boring.

Didnt even notice this was the final until I read the thread.

I'd kill for a cutesy slice of life spinoff/parody. Well, I guess we're already getting that with the drama CDs in a way, but it's not the same.

Based Yuuki confirming what we talked about in ep 3, women are fucking shit spies.

>>143145049

Some good old fashioned sexism in this show. Men are cool, smooth and competent and women ruin everything. Almost feels like a subdued Japanese take on James Bond.

So what was the moral of the story?

It paints a portrait of the Japanese military during WW2 that's not very flattering:
>blindly zealous officers
>widespread corruption
>laughably incompetent leadership

The main thrust seemed to be that nationalism and a reckless disregard for life are what undermined the Japanese Empire in the war.

Did anybody else get a feeling of futility from the show? Like despite how cool and skilled the spies were, there was always the impending defeat of Japan hanging over everything, and it almost seemed like the spies themselves were aware of it and that all they were doing was rearranging the deck furniture on the Titanic.

>>143145049
>>143145111

I know Yuuki is the mastermind but they gave him too much time like appearing at the end "OH YUUKI'S DONE IT AGAIN!" I rather have it about the glorious agents.

I'd fucking love more even without Miyoshi bro.

Easily my AOTS, It was so refreshing to watch.

>>143145394
>reckless disregard for life are what undermined the Japanese Empire in the war.
And that's mainly true.
Instead of having troops to withdraw to fight another day, they did retarded shit like kamikaze and suicide bombing until all that was left were unskilled troops that just hit fighting age.

All the smug spies looking at you, knowing you fucked up and you're not fucking awesome like them. Odagiri's shitting in his pants, he knows he's tarnished the D-agency gary-stu standard. He was shocked when Yuuki didn't snap at him.

This show was disappointing.

Making every episode a series of exposition dumps and then slapping a cool setting on top of it does not suddenly make it good.

Seriously Japan, stop with the fucking exposition dumps. Learn to fucking write and direct proper exposition, Christ.

He was right about it being a murder but he didn't pay attention to the other girl.

Everyone else in the agency almost instantly knew/suspected the other girl was responsible, hinted by the fact all the other spies start reporting to him about the affair instead of Yuki.

I was also 99% sure that Miyoshi was alive after all until the very end of the episode (I even waited for an after-credits scene to show it off)

It's pretty refreshing that in a show full of keikakus, he was actually dead and the episode really was just about a Spy conforming and adapting himself to what was nothing but an accident.

11 was the best episode and I feel like it would have made for the better final episode.

>>143169108
I think they made it this way so it felt like 11 didn't actually happen and we still see Miyoshi up and walking rather than him dead on the last episode.

>>143169022
>>143169108
I disagree on the switching episodes thing. I feel like in a way, having a ensemble episode again made everything come full circle.

>>143169217
Well, they both please old men for free. At least some of the other spies do it for money.

But it did happen, this episode just happens one year before 11.

Also, the last episode chronologically speaking is the worst one, the fourth.

I liked it because of the concept and execution too, and I wish we had more spy anime. The hot men were just a bonus.

>>143169268
That's why I said it felt like it didn't happen even though it did. Seeing everyone together again felt like a better final episode than seeing someone dead.

And I swear to God unironically is not a damn word. Stop using it.

I think a translator said that Miyoshi told Sakuma that he is Yuuki's type I don't mean gay or something like that and Sakuma's imagination went wild.

And here I thought Sakuma was pure and innocent.

I'm currently rereading Agatha Christie's 'N or M?' (also a WWII spy novel) to take my mind off the sadness, but I don't know what I'll do with myself after I finish it.

>>143170553
You'll read more Agatha Christie, obviously. Read Murder on the Orient Express yet?

>>143170569
I've read every Agatha Christie novel my town's library has, many of them twice. Orient Express was great, but Partners in Crime is still my favorite.
