Manga: Blue Exorcist The Movie Hag talks to Atsushi Takahshi & Takamitsu Inoue
(Director) Atsushi Takahshi and (Producer) Takamitsu Inoue (Questions by Hag age 9)
When you made the series did you know you’d make a movie?
Takamitsu Inoue – (Laughs) Well the film was my idea…so part way through the series I decided there would be a film.
How long did it take to make the movie and what’s your favourite bit?
Takamitsu Inoue – About a year and three months it took.
There are little black demons called ‘Coal Tar’ – I the scenes where they are flying around.
Atsushi Takahshi – I like the scene towards the beginning where Yukio and Shimi are escaping from the phantom train on the break wagon. It’s a cool scene and one of the few scenes where Yukio actually gets some action. (Laughs)
Is there anything you’d change in the movie?
(Both Laugh)
Atsushi Takahshi – No (Laughs)
Takamitsu Inoue – There’s a lot. Too many to mention.
I’d like about ten minutes more of story. I’m not sure exactly where, but I think if we had about another ten minutes we could do something different with it.
Does anyone you know act like Rin?
Atsushi Takahshi – no one I know.
Takamitsu Inoue – What someone that goes around causing chaos? ….that would be trouble if I knew them in real life. (Laughs)
No there isn’t anyone so it was hard to find someone to base him on.
If you could be any character in Blue Exorcist – who would it be and why?
Atsushi Takahshi – Mephisto, because he’s very rich.
Takamitsu Inoue – Kuro the cat, because he doesn’t have to work. (Laughs)
Do you really think there are demons living among us?
Atsushi Takahshi – there’s no demons in Japan, but there are Spectres.
Yeah in Japan people believe in ghost and spectres….but not so sure about Angels and Demons.
