Animage June Utsumi Interview (Part 1)

You can become happy through skating!
—In our last interview, we talked about how you were living an active skate life, Director Utsumi.
Utsumi: Is that so? (lol)
—How has your skate life been after that?
Utsumi: Right now we’re working on retakes of the series for the package version, so I’m looking forward to being able to lift the ban after that. Until then skating is banned (lol).
—Is that because it’s dangerous since you could get hurt?
Utsumi: That’s right. There was a time once before where I got injured and couldn’t work on the storyboard for a whole week, and so now there is a ban on skating for all of the animator staff. So I just have to hold out a little longer.
—Are you planning to reward yourself for having finished your first TV series, like buying yourself a new board or something?
Utsumi: Ahh, I’d like to. I want a longboard like ADAM!
