Interview with Key Production Staff

Anime! Anime! interviewed Sho Someno, the Season 2 animation producer, Shota Umehara, who served as Season 1 animation producer and Season 2 production desk, and Rikako Yamamoto, the setting production staff. The trio covered fan reactions to the series and shared details on production processes.

Behind-the-Scenes Production Details

Staff members bought and wore cosplay items themselves to gather reference material. They also addressed production difficulties and their approach to creating original anime segments within the My Dress-Up Darling universe. Season 2's inclusion of multiple original anime allowed talented team members to handle character designs who might not otherwise have had the opportunity.

Current Status of Season 3

Shota Umehara stated that Season 3 production is a complete blank slate, meaning nothing has been decided or started. He expressed interest in proceeding if conditions align.

Producer's Commitment to Quality

Umehara emphasized, \"I can’t make a sloppy anime. I want to express my gratitude to all the viewers.\" He would be grateful if viewers watched Season 2 and purchased the original work, noting that new viewers and readers are essential for the series' growth.

Appreciation for Fan Support

Umehara thanked fans for buying merchandise and DVDs/Blu-rays, describing this support as something special beyond just the result of quality production.

Production Limitations

Umehara mentioned that his production line can currently handle only one work per year, contextualized by the opportunities provided in Season 2.
