Animation Producer in a Fantasy World

Episode 4 of “Sky of Destiny” caused a hot topic among all viewers as soon as it was released.

In fact, it’s not surprising that new anime productions by Ragna create buzz.

Didn’t “Machine God Chronicles” and “Book of Life and Death” that aired in the past also receive people’s attention every time they aired?

But this episode 4 of “Sky of Destiny” was drawing attention for somewhat different reasons than the anime that aired in the past.

So, what were those reasons?

“Achaemenes, was it? Goodness, as expected, heroes who were active in the mythical age are certainly different. To think it was possible to reach such a level with a mere human body.”

“Chris and the girl in knight’s attire were powerful too, but the great hero was indeed a being of a different class. I can’t even begin to imagine how to defeat such a being.”

“To me, that great hero seemed far more powerful than even most External Gods in ‘Machine God Chronicles’, is it just my simple misunderstanding?”

“Most External Gods? Are you kidding? From what I saw, it looks like even one or two Machine Gods wouldn’t be enough to beat that? Is the great hero your friend? Are you taking him that lightly?”

In the past, the main reason why “Machine God Chronicles” and “Book of Life and Death” caused enormous buzz among people was none other than their shocking story developments.

For example, in episode 17 of “Machine God Chronicles”, Luke, the friend of the protagonist Kai, meets his death due to the berserk Zero Unit, or.

Or in episode 25, the Earth is shattered due to the Third Apocalypse.

While they drew people’s attention through such story developments that far exceeded people’s common sense and predictions.

This time, “Sky of Destiny” was showing a somewhat different texture from past animations.

Of course, “Sky of Destiny” is also showing fast-paced and shocking developments like “Machine God Chronicles” and “Book of Life and Death”.

Right from episode 1, the protagonist is brutally murdered by Chris, or.

Didn’t episodes 2 and 3 show a chase scene with no time to catch your breath properly, or flashy action scenes?

But even considering that, the story development of this episode 4 of “Sky of Destiny” was truly shocking to viewers.

The great hero Achaemenes.

A great hero appearing in fairy tales that anyone living in this world, not just Empire citizens, would have heard of at least once.

Such a great hero from myth appeared as an enemy in the position of trying to kill the protagonist Yuri.

Moreover, with such powerful strength and abilities that it seemed like he could never be overcome even if the other six heroes came at him all at once.

Well, actually, for a great hero of the mythical age, it might be very natural to have such abilities, but.

From the viewers’ perspective, they really had no idea how to defeat such a powerful enemy.

At least the External Gods, who could be said to be the main enemies of “Machine God Chronicles”, could always be caught if the Zero Unit went berserk no matter how powerful they were, and.

In “Book of Life and Death”, Alpha was able to see through Zodiac’s identity due to the protagonist Louis’s carelessness and Marie’s troublesome actions, but.

How could the feeble powers of this “Sky of Destiny’s” protagonist Yuri and the girl catch such a terrifying monster?

“No, honestly speaking, isn’t unconditionally winning thirteen fights too much of a cheat ability?”

“It might be understandable for a weak hero, but for a great hero with tremendous base specs to have such an ability, it really seems like there’s no answer.”

“But couldn’t that girl in knight’s attire somehow defeat the great hero? Even though she’s fighting three times in one night, she’s not showing signs of being overwhelmed against the great hero.”

“Maybe if the girl activates an ability or trump card she’s been hiding until the end, she might be able to take down the great hero?”

Of course, everyone acknowledges that the great hero is an incredibly powerful enemy with tremendous abilities, but.

No matter what, the protagonist is still the protagonist.

Of course, at this point, the protagonist Yuri is just a greenhorn, so it’s obvious he won’t be of any help, but.

The girl summoned by Yuri is an incredibly powerful hero who subdued the Federation’s hero Chris and the unidentified archer in an instant.

Wouldn’t someone like her have the possibility to break through this situation somehow?

Wasn’t anime originally watched for the pleasure of seeing the protagonist achieve things impossible in reality?

That’s why people were currently holding enormous expectations about how the protagonist Yuri and the girl would overcome this difficulty.

But.

“The person who repels the great hero in episode 5 is not the protagonist Yuri and the girl… that is, the Knight King, but the unidentified archer commanded by Sein.”

“…Excuse me?”

Ragna made a bombshell statement that seemed to shatter people’s expectations in an instant.

“No… Wouldn’t it be more natural for the development here to show a scene where the protagonist and the Knight King play an active role no matter how you look at it?”

Kaya spoke towards Ragna as if something was ridiculous.

But at this point, Ragna felt the need to insert a scene where the unidentified archer repels the great hero.

Because.

‘Otherwise, I’ll be criticized for making my own character shine in the anime later…!’

That’s right.

Ragna’s plan to make the Federation’s hero, Chris, a villain and get severely cursed by the Federation people had already ended in failure.

But there was no need to be disappointed already.

Because there were still several parts left in “Sky of Destiny” that could scratch people.

And one of them was related to the identity of the unidentified archer.

The archer who had proven to be a formidable owner of skills by engaging in a battle more than equal to the Federation’s hero Chris.

Probably, people must undoubtedly be thinking that his identity is a famous hero who left his name in history.

But what if the shocking truth is revealed that the identity of that archer was actually an original character created in Ragna’s head, not from history books?

‘What do you mean what happens? They’ll all get scratched head-on.’

Not only the Federation people who are enormously excited watching Chris appearing in “Sky of Destiny” currently.

The people of the Rihart Kingdom who will soon realize what the identity of the girl in knight’s attire is and be greatly shocked.

In addition to that, all Empire citizens who worship the Knight King, the founder of the Empire.

At least people from three countries would not be able to stay still if they encounter this shocking fact.

I guarantee, all sorts of chaos that occurred in the Capital when the Earth exploded in episode 25 of “Machine God Chronicles” will feel like child’s play.

Can the Imperial Family really tell a person who caused such a huge social disturbance to keep making anime?

‘No, there’s absolutely no way.’

It’s perfect.

This time, it was a perfect scheme to the extent that no elements of failure could be seen anywhere, but.

Ragna decided to insert scenes of the unidentified archer playing an active role against the great hero in the sense of being extra cautious.

By continuously showing scenes of the archer playing an active role like this, people will become curious about his identity, and.

The feeling of betrayal when they learn his identity will also grow that much.

But, of course, it was impossible to explain all of this to Kaya and the production staff.

Therefore.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you because it’s a secret related to future developments.”

Ragna said in an uncompromising voice.

“Besides, didn’t we already promise? That I would prioritize my opinion unconditionally in the production of this work. This is all for our future, so please cooperate.”

To be more precise, it should be said that it’s the path to a shining future where he becomes unemployed, but.

“…..”

Kaya and the staff became silent, unable to refute those words as they had promised Ragna in the past.

Ragna briefly looked around at them, then called Liz forward, who was practicing lines while grasping the script for episode 5.

“Well then, I’ll assume everyone has no complaints about the development of episode 5 and start the recording. Liz, we’ll start recording from scene 38, so be ready.”

“Yes! Oh, I understand…!”

Liz, who was voicing both the protagonist Yuri and the unidentified archer, whispered to him in a very small voice.

“By the way, Director. That thing you told me about before, it’s coming out in this episode, right? I mean, in the scene where I shoot the bow-”

“…Ah, right.”

Come to think of it, the long-awaited ‘that chant’ was supposed to come out in this episode.

To be honest, if you want to discuss ‘that work’, you absolutely can’t leave out that chant, can you?

Of course, only a very small part of the chant is scheduled to appear due to the development of the work, but.

Even if only a part of the chant is shown, it will be more than enough to make viewers go crazy.

“It is made with a black body…”

Ragna looked fondly at Liz, who kept practicing the chant he had earnestly memorized in middle school.
But was that the correct content of the chant…?
It’s been so long since I’ve seen ‘that work’ that I don’t remember well.
Well, the meaning gets across roughly, so it should be fine, right?

Anyway, “Sky of Destiny” episode 5.

Lord’s Prayer loading.

ON.
