Mashima Hiro & Ninomiya Kazunari
Jul. 26th, 2008 10:33 pmI went to the San Diego Comic-con today and attended Mashima Hiro's panel (manga-ka of Rave Master and Fairy Tail)
Anyways, I'll just post this part
italics are the translated parts
Fan: If Fairy Tail were to be turned into a live action, which American actors would you cast?
Mashima-sensei: [I don't really know many young actors in America, but one older actor that
immediately comes to mind is Johnny Depp as Happy.]
and then later
Fan: If Fairy Tail were to be turned into a live action, which Japanese actors would you cast?
Mashima-sensei: Aitsu wa shiranai deshou? [They don't know do they?] (He's referring to the whole audience )
Fans all start to deny it
Mashima-sensei: Jaa.... Ninomiya... Ninomiya.... nantoka? [Then..... Ninomiya.... Ninomiya.. something]
(Mashima-sensei begins to discuss it quietly with his translators, i could still hear thanks to my first row seat)
Translator#1: Ninomiya... dare? [Ninomiya.... who's that?]
Translator#2: Iwo? Iwojima no Ninomiya? [Iwo... Ninomiya from Letters from Iwojima?]
Mashima-sensei: aaa, hai, hai, iwo no ninomiya [Yeah, the Ninomiya from Letters from Iwojima]
(meanwhile a bunch of us in the audience are saying "kazunari? arashi? arashi no ninomiya kazunari?")
Translator#2: (turns back to talk to the rest of us) Are you guys familiar with Arashi
Small Group of Fans scream like crazy
Translator#1: oh
Mashima-sensei: eh?
Translator#2: that ninomiya, from arashi as natsu
Fans: KAZUNARIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!
anyways thought I would share, it was kind of funny I thought....
