Honey's Anime Interview - Director Tsutomu Washimi - Utawarerumono ZAN from TGS 2019
7:19 PM September 23, 2019
People, Honey's Anime Interview
Rob "NualphaJPN" B.
The Utawarerumono series is quite well known in Japan for its strategy based gameplay from its previous titles, but director Tsutomu Washimi decided to take things to the next level and introduce something better. With an art style that helps to better suit the series and 3D character models to better accentuate realism, Utawarerumono ZAN is an action title that truly embraces everything about the series, but expands on it even further. We had the pleasure of sitting down with Washimi-san to hear his thoughts about the new direction in the series, and what his inspirations were to help bring the vision to life. Honey's Anime have also written a splendid review on Utawarerumono ZAN so after reading this interview be sure to check it out!

Honey-Chan
Honey's Anime Exclusive Interview with Director Tsutomu Washimi - Utawarerumono ZAN
What inspired the name Utawarerumono and the series altogether?
Tsutomu-San: *laughs* to be honest, even amongst the development staff we actually don't remember. During the development of the title 17 years ago there wasn't a name for the title and we all needed to come up with a name. So there was a scenario where we all just had a discussion and that title popped up….I think that's where it came from. *laughs*
As far as inspiration, instead of focusing on creating a more visual novel experience, we decided that perhaps we could add in more elements like RPG and strategy aspects, which is what we went for, then with ZAN more action oriented.
What made you decide to transition from the traditional strategy aspect of the game, into a more action-musou oriented style?
Tsutomu-San: The previous iterations of the series were mostly known for the more 'Chibi-style' characters but over time, the developers thought that having a more realistic graphic style that complimented the story and stay faithful to the art design of the game was more impactful. So within that, making the characters look more proportional akin to what a normal human would look like, would better suit the action-oriented style we were aiming for.
If there was another series that you'd like to collaborate with for the next title, which would it be?
Tsutomu-San: The only idea we had in mind was ZAN initially and Tamsoft of course as you know, are the ones behind the Senran Kagura series and so looking at that game we drew inspiration from that due to its fluidity in gameplay. So we thought it would be cool to work with Tamsoft in that regard. Personally I think it would be a great idea but then again Marvelous publishes Senran Kagura and Koei Tecmo are the ones behind Dynasty Warriors (Sengoku Musou in Japan) so it would be tricky *laughs*.
Japanese and small bits of Chinese mythology were implemented into the game to cater to the Japanese audience. What goals did you have in mind to market to the western audience to make it more understandable?
Tsutomu-San: In Japan, a lot of Japanese people find various cultures fascinating such as Egypt and the Pyramids along with the mythologies that surround it. China and its mythology around the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is another cultural fascination that we admire and so hopefully, just as much as we appreciate other countries for their cultural beauty, that those in the west can find that exoticism in our culture as well.
"ZAN" what's the meaning behind that?
Tsutomu-San: In Japanese, the literal meaning behind ZAN is Slash/Slice, but the main reason it was chosen was actually quite interesting. The president of the company came across this old PC game called 'ZAN' and the name itself in Japanese had an impactful feel to it and so he thought, "Hey this would be pretty cool," and so from that point everyone on the team immediately agreed on the name.
If you had more time to add more content into the game, what types of content would we see?
Tsutomu-San: By far the most important aspect of the Utawarerumono series is its story and so, particularly towards the end of the story of ZAN, there's a really climactic scene that utilized a lot of the 3D features we implemented. However, due to the limitations we had it wasn't possible to implement that feature all throughout the game and so, much like you said if there was more time and money we would've loved to use more 3D cinematics to emphasize our vision. In the end, we still want our fans to enjoy that scene!
Will there be any future DLC down the road?
Tsutomu-San: All the DLC included from the Japanese version will be ready in the western release! So look forward to that. But no other DLC will be made afterwards.
Going back to realistic proportions for characters this time around. Was it simply for the art style or were there other reasons?
Tsutomu-San: With better character models this time around and with each character representing their own distinct fighting style, it was easier to convey their emotions and movesets more concisely. Thus, realistic proportions really helped us in that regard.
One defining factor that makes ZAN so great is the eclectic choice of music during gameplay. What was your inspiration behind this?
Tsutomu-San: Interestingly enough, the president actually stepped in and contributed in this area. As you already know, the Sangoku Musou series is revered for its hard rock tone and so, given that our game is within the same realm, maybe trying hard rock would be cool. So we tried and it worked but we thought, "well, is this what we really want to aim for?". We then decided to opt for a Eurobeat/Rave style and in the end, it really helped to lend itself to the gameplay we aimed for. The overall feeling is what resonated with our team at that point and it totally matched the style of Utawarerumono ZAN.
Do you have a final message for your fans overseas?
Tsutomu-San: In Japan, jumping into the world of Utawarerumono ZAN is quite different and in that regard, those in the west may also find it odd at first to jump in. However, there are a lot of great elements within the game that are exciting and we only hope to grow the series even further. We highly encourage fans to check out Prelude to the Fallen which is slated to come out next year and course Utawarerumono ZAN, which is out now!
The Utawarerumono series is always brimming with excitement and surprises, so we highly recommend anyone new to the series to jump in! Sitting down with Tsutomu-san really provided us with a lot of perspective not just on the game, but also the interesting aspects that go into developing a game, and how much research is required to make create something that people will enjoy. It isn't just about what looks cool or trendy at the time but more about the long term impact and what players can really take away from the experience. Thank you Tsutomu-San and especially NIS America for giving us this wonderful opportunity to interview a great mind.

Reassessing the Practical and Theoretical Influence of Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition
Hunt, R. A. and Fund, B.R. (2012) Reassessing the Practical and Theoretical Influence of Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance Volume 16, Number 1, Spring 2012 29-56. ISSN: 1551-9570

This paper presents a long overdue reassessment of entrepreneurship through acquisition (ETA). Traditionally considered simply a niche occurrence of small company leveraged buyouts (LBO), ETA is actually a meaningful contributor to a nation's entrepreneurial capacity and business revitalization. Scholarly understanding of ETA has been severely limited by three factors: the paucity of data related to entrepreneurial acquisitions, the tendency to equate entrepreneurship primarily with new venture creation, and the reliance upon explanatory models for buyouts that are grounded in narrowly conceived notions of 1980s-era, large-scale, hyper-leveraged LBOs. Prior efforts to conceptualize all buyouts based on the large LBO model and through the lens of agency theory have severely restricted the ability of scholars to look past the buyout model motivated by financial reengineering gains to see instead the entrepreneurial aims and outcomes often associated with buyouts, particularly ETA. In order to situate ETA more fruitfully in the domain of entrepreneurship finance, we take issue with the conventional agency theory framing and offer instead an explanatory model for ETA involving entrepreneurial intent and novel financing. To overcome the data scarcity problems and to bring the characteristics of ETA into sharper relief, we present testable propositions side-by-side with data from search funds, a specific ETA investment vehicle that substantively replicates the entrepreneurial intents and outcomes of ETA. By examining the theoretical streams of LBO and entrepreneurship finance in practical context of search funds, we build a more coherent conceptualization of ETA.

Mòrsim (Morsimus, Mórsimos ) fou un poeta tràgic, fill de Filocles i pare d'Astidames.

A més de poeta era també metge i oftalmòleg, però en aquestes feines tenia poc èxit. Aristòfanes el va ridiculitzar diverses vegades però no queda clar per què. La seva poesia es caracteritza per la seva fredor, segons es diu a Suides.

As usual with Arsenal, half the Premier League club's supporters see the glass being half full while the rest view it as half empty. It just depends if you're wearing rose-coloured glasses or not. Yes, the Gunners have managed to finish the season in the top four again and have reached the European Champions for the 16th straight year. That in a nutshell is the extent of the club's accomplishments this season. They also played some attractive football and weren't a bad side to watch at all.
However, on the downside, the season kicked off back in August with the Gunners having an opportunity of winning four different pieces of silverware. Needless to say, they went zero for four as one by one they dropped out of the League Cup, the League title, the FA Cup and the Champions League. They were also embarrassed along the way with losses to lower-division teams. Their highlight was the 2-0 win over Bayern at the Allianz Arena in Munich in the second leg of the Champions League. Unfortunately they were beaten at home at the Emirates 3-0 in the first leg.
Critics will be quick to point out that making the Champions League shouldn't be something to celebrate because the club isn't actually there to win the trophy. Instead, it's just happy to cash in on the financial gains the tournament offers. They say the club just banks the money year after year without spending any or enough of it to improve the squad. Whichever way you feel about the club and its goals are entirely up to each individual supporter.
However, even the staunchest of Arsenal fans, those who place French manager Arsene Wenger up on a pedestal, still realize there's a lot of work to be done and improvements need to be made during the off season. There's not really much point pontificating on who Wenger will buy in the summer as there would be an update every five minutes and most of the rumours are simply rubbish anyway. These transfer stories are made up by journalists at the spur of the moment with most of them having no substance at all. The time to report on transfers is after they've actually taken place, not before.
Fans need to sit back and detach all emotional attachment when analyzing this club though. In fact, those on the outside looking in are often more capable of giving an honest opinion since there's nothing swaying it. There were some positive aspects this year though that bode well for the future. Spanish midfielder Santi Cazorla proved he could handle the pace of the EPL and chipped in with a dozen goals and about 16 assists. The 28-year-old should be even better next year as he'll be used to the opposition. Cazorla is a key figure in the Gunners squad due to his consistent and cutting-edge performances.
Midfielder Jack Wilshere is another key player. He's only 21 and the English international seems to drive the squad from his midfield position. Usually Arsenal goes as Wilshere goes. He dictates the action with top-class defensive and offensive skills. If he can stay healthy he'll be a star in this league for years to come. He's perhaps the most important Gunner due to his tender age and he can only get better. He's captain material for the club and his country. Walcott also had a career year by reaching the 20-goal plateau and his confidence is growing. He's still in his early 20s as well and could break out in a big way next season.
There's a lot to build on here and the team may just need some fine tuning rather than an overhaul. It'll be interesting to see what Wenger does with the spending money in the summer. Many fans would rather buy several strong players rather than blow the whole load on just one or two big-name signings. Players will come and players will go over the next several weeks. We'll just sit back and see what unfolds at the Emirates and then report on all the happenings as they take place. However, Wenger will have to act relatively quickly before all of the best transfer targets are signed by competitors.
Wenger understands frustration – yeah right!!!

The Daughters Of Real Housewives Speak Out! Lauren Manzo Admits Fame Went To Her Head And Pandora Talks Last Season's RHOBH Reunion!
by Mary McClelland on April 11th, 2012
As par for the course, the children of the Real Housewives of any location are always dragged into the mess that is the show – and sometimes being on TV isn't so fantastic. Glamour Magazine recently interviewed the adult daughters of some of our favorite (and least favorite) Bravo moms. The girls were candid about their experiences on the show and how it has affected their lives.
Lauren Manzo, Pandora Sabo (née Todd), Briana Culberson (née Wolfsmith), Tierra Fuller, and Victoria de Lesseps spoke out about what it's like to be on reality television and how they've handled their moms' dramatic experiences on the shows.
Interestingly, some of the girls would love to do reality TV in their own right, while others have absolutely no desire. "I'd be lying if I said that I didn't get caught up in being on TV for a little bit," Lauren admits. "I said to my boyfriend, Vito, a while ago, 'I found a ring that I want. Go buy it, and we'll get married on TV.' And then I said to myself, That's not what I want right now. It doesn't make sense to get married. I need to become a woman on my own. And I don't think I could do that right now with a ring on my finger."
Pandora, who did get married on TV, and whose wedding was featured in last season's finale of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, confesses she had to seriously consider letting such a personal moment be played out in public. "I'm a more private person than my mother is. So when Jason proposed, we had to think about how we were going to do this wedding," Pandora shares.
"My mother's [Lisa Vanderpump] life is on television, but mine really isn't. I didn't mind that the planning was on TV, because, to be honest, it's quite nice to have a record of all that. Who else gets to relive picking out their invitations or their bachelorette party?"
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON TO READ THE REST!
"I didn't let Bravo film any of the wedding. I had a regular videographer like many people do. I edited the footage, then chose what I wouldn't mind people seeing, and we gave eight minutes of it to Bravo to use." Pandora adds that Lisa was totally supportive and encouraged Pandora and Jason to decide what they wanted to do.
As for whether or not she would do a reality show, the answer is no. "I wouldn't sign up for a reality show myself," Pandora explains. Adding, "I didn't even get through watching the whole episode of the season-two reunion. It's hard to see someone you love being attacked. I've had urges to fight my mother's battles for her, but she doesn't like me to. She can handle herself very well." Yeah – take that, Adrienne Maloof!
Sheree Whitfield's daughter Tierra has a decidedly different feeling about appearing on TV. She loves it! And claims she gets asked for autographs all the time around Atlanta. "A woman approached me about being on another reality show. It was going to be about people my age being spoiled, always getting what they want. I guess they didn't end up selling the pilot, but I was interested," Tierra reveals. "My boyfriend, Damon, and I spoke about doing our own reality show. I think it's not a bad idea." Maybe they are saving their proposal for their own series!
Tierra dishes that her reason for having an interest in reality television is the opportunities the platform presents. "My mom is doing her thing; I'm trying to get her to make her own workout DVD or her own juicer. A lot of opportunities come out of reality shows, and my mom is my role model."
Although Tierra wouldn't mind doing a show of her own, she admits sometimes it's difficult hard to watch Real Housewives of Atlanta. "I find myself getting very angry when I watch the show. Then I'll talk to my mom, and she's like, 'You know, you can't get too emotional about it,'" Tierra says.
"The whole Marlo [Hampton] thing was hard for me. That fight was really intense. You want to protect your family, and that's my mom! If I'm watching and something goes down, I'll send her a text, like, 'Wow, why did you two start arguing? Did that really happen?' And then she'll give me the background."
Victoria, the youngest of the ladies who is barely beyond her teenage years, admits growing up on Real Housewives of New York has been a challenge. "I was 12 when my mom [LeAnn de Lesseps] told me about doing the show. I'm not a person who loves to be in front of the camera all the time. But my mom said to us, 'I understand if you and your brother don't want to do this, but you know, it would mean a lot to me, blah, blah.' And so we both agreed to do it."
Victoria believes the show has had some negative effects in terms of how people treat her – particularly at school – and amongst her peer group. "When I was at boarding school, there were some instances when I thought teachers were harder on me because of the show," she asserts. A YouTube video of Victoria smoking weed and making a racist comment surfaced around the time of her parent's divorce.
"People ask me, 'Has being on TV changed how people treat you? Are people nice to you for the wrong reasons?' In a way, it has made it easier for me to see who's really my friend," Victoria describes. "This guy friend of mine, we kissed once, and he said, 'I could introduce you to my friends and tell them you're from the show.' I was like, 'That's the first thing you'd tell your friends about me?' I've never had any boy luck from the show. Maybe guys are just intimidated."
Finally, Briana, who has been on Real Housewives of Orange County since it's first season and is really the OG of Housewives children speaks out about how the show has changed her life.
Briana confesses that though it's traumatizing to watch the show, she does it anyway. "It's hard to watch them," she says. "It's weird to see yourself on TV. It's really tough to see the family things replayed, like my parents' split. I'd experienced it six or eight months before, then had to relive it on TV, and that's when it becomes public. People are approaching me, saying, 'I can't believe your parents are getting divorced!' And it reopens the wound."
Strangely, the show has brought her family closer. "But it's kind of like therapy. Most of the time our family's not very open about our feelings with one another, so we see each family member on TV talk about their reaction to the divorce. It's nice because you can sit down and say, 'Oh, Mike, I didn't know you felt that way.' It allows us to recognize what each other is going through."
As for how being on TV has changed over the years, Briana still can't believe people have such a vested interest in her life or her family, and says she has learned to ignore the public's reaction. "The first season, we were kind of shocked because you would Google our names and we'd come up. That was huge. At first we were like, 'Why are we so important?;'" she shares.
"Then people would say, 'Briana looks like this' or 'Vicki [Gunvalson]'s fat,' and we'd all be crying about it. Since the first season we haven't looked at any blogs. I try not to read the press or dig around and see what everyone's opinion is of us."
And Briana, a very private person, has no desire to make reality television a part of her own life. Briana, as you recall, eloped last year and did not even tell producers she was engaged. "I'm not looking to make my own fame off this show. It's just not me," Briana states. "I'm an E.R. nurse, and that's my priority. I don't want people to look at me differently. I'm just Briana the nurse."
"Sometimes at work, I'll be changing a diaper or putting in an IV, and a family member at the bedside will be like, 'You're that girl!' And I'll say, 'Yes, but this is my real job.' You've got to put things into perspective." Has she told Vicki that lately?
Lauren also admits that dealing with issues on Real Housewives of New Jersey has been a challenge – particularly over her weight, but she's gotten a lot of support from viewers who can relate to her struggle.
"When we first began the show, my biggest fear was viewers noticing my weight. I knew I was heavy, and I knew people were going to say something, but I did everything I could to hide it and act like I was confident." Lauren decided to incorporate it into the storyline because teen fans reached out to her and said it was inspiring to see someone who wasn't a size two on TV.
My mom [Caroline Manzo] and I have always been open about my weight. I'll say stuff like, 'Oh my God, my stomach is so big today!' We've learned to joke about it," Lauren says. "When she said on the show, 'I'm not going to tell Lauren she looks perfect when she needs to lose a few pounds,' that didn't bother me. What upset me is when people wrote and said, 'Your own mother thinks you're disgusting.' Not because they're calling me fat but because they're going after my mom."

He normally goes by the title of 'Tyers Gangsta', clearly we know the real thug lives start in the country ;)!! But it was this exact same country setting where Lucy and Joe, both kids from the bushlands (so to speak) decided to make the hitching all complete!
Being a country lad myself, I love getting involved in weddings that are set against a farm backdrop. It makes for a beautifully relaxed atmosphere and good vibes fill the fresh air everywhere.
Lucy and Joe were also a couple of old school rock hounds like myself who love to hear the beats of one Mr Springsteen fill the airwaves around them.
