Aki took the train today and decided to read the Sum Up!! Tiger & Bunny book while traveling…
Reading Sum up, might tweet stuff

Tsuda was mostly relying on his intuition when playing Nathan
— 桑原桑原 (@Aki_the_geek) February 7, 2014
Nishida himself checked and approved Tsuda's adlibs
— 桑原桑原 (@Aki_the_geek) February 7, 2014
Tsuda liked the scenes with all the girls because he felt that Nathan was like a mother figure protecting the younger heroines
— 桑原桑原 (@Aki_the_geek) February 7, 2014
Tsuda likes anti-heroes and "baddies"
— 桑原桑原 (@Aki_the_geek) February 7, 2014
Tsuda thinks Nathan makes a good leader and that he learns a lot from him while playing
— 桑原桑原 (@Aki_the_geek) February 7, 2014
Tsuda says that Sky High's airhead-ness is exactly like Inoue Gou's
— 桑原桑原 (@Aki_the_geek) February 7, 2014
Tsuda says that nowadays it's risky to try and present something deeper in media, but that's exactly what makes Taibani so so great
— 桑原桑原 (@Aki_the_geek) February 7, 2014
Tsuda says we should look forward to The Rising with FIIIRE
— 桑原桑原 (@Aki_the_geek) February 7, 2014
Gou says that at first he had no idea what "Thank you! And thank you again!" could even mean
— 桑原桑原 (@Aki_the_geek) February 7, 2014
Gotta love this interviewer! "When did you realize that Keith is more than a little weird?"
— 桑原桑原 (@Aki_the_geek) February 7, 2014
(Gou's answer is, of course, the 5th episode)
— 桑原桑原 (@Aki_the_geek) February 7, 2014
He says that before that ep he was afraid that Bunny and Sky High's character types might be too similar
— 桑原桑原 (@Aki_the_geek) February 7, 2014
Gou's reaction was "Alright! Let's go full airhead, then!"
— 桑原桑原 (@Aki_the_geek) February 7, 2014
Gou was like "Huh? What's going on?" when the director asked him to yell SKY HIGH! in the 5th episode
— 桑原桑原 (@Aki_the_geek) February 7, 2014
During the interview, Gou realized that he plays the only hero who screams his name and got super happy about it
— 桑原桑原 (@Aki_the_geek) February 7, 2014
"So that's what it means to be the "only one"! Hahahahaha'"
— 桑原桑原 (@Aki_the_geek) February 7, 2014
Gou says that playing Keith helped him realize his own airheadness
— 桑原桑原 (@Aki_the_geek) February 7, 2014
Sky High's "Eh?" from the 3rd episode when Kotetsu argues with Agnes was his adlib, and Gou's like "Yep, that's the usual me"
— 桑原桑原 (@Aki_the_geek) February 7, 2014
Gou says he was shocked when he saw Ryan, because he was worried his wings mean he might fly and thus take Sky High's monopoly for that
— 桑原桑原 (@Aki_the_geek) February 7, 2014
You can tell the interviewer is mfw at his answers I can't
— 桑原桑原 (@Aki_the_geek) February 7, 2014
The Rising shows an unexpected part of Keith's life
— 桑原桑原 (@Aki_the_geek) February 7, 2014
Gou would like to have Sky High as his hero partner but he fears that having a two airheads combo might not be the best idea
— 桑原桑原 (@Aki_the_geek) February 7, 2014
Gou would like to he Antonio's friend
— 桑原桑原 (@Aki_the_geek) February 7, 2014
Antonio and Kusunoki now!
— 桑原桑原 (@Aki_the_geek) February 7, 2014
At first they introduced Antonio to Kusunoki as a "veteran hero", so he thought he will be a cool, enemy-smashin' character
— 桑原桑原 (@Aki_the_geek) February 7, 2014
Antonio thinks that in a way, all the Taibani heroes are airheads
— 桑原桑原 (@Aki_the_geek) February 7, 2014
Kusunoki thinks that everyone wanted to adlib something precisely because Nishida's writing was so good
— 桑原桑原 (@Aki_the_geek) February 7, 2014
Kusunoki says that Antonio can't have a superpower activation shout because it'd have to be something like GET HARD!!!
— 桑原桑原 (@Aki_the_geek) February 7, 2014
Kusunoki says that in ep 24, Antonio was pondering pushing the button not bc he wanted to save himself, but bc he wanted to protect Kaede
— 桑原桑原 (@Aki_the_geek) February 7, 2014
INTERVIEWER SAN WHO ARE YOU "I have to admit, Ryan could obscure even Rock Bison. And that's coming from someone who likes drills."
— 桑原桑原 (@Aki_the_geek) February 7, 2014
And then Aki arrived to her station. (Btw, there’s her full translation of the interview with Nishida Masafumi, the main writer and story director of Tiger & Bunny here.)
