Working on Shield Hero
Director Abo Takao discusses his initial hesitation and eventual decision to direct "The Rising of the Shield Hero," citing his interest in the 'otherworld' genre and game elements. Scriptwriter Koyanagi Keigo recounts how he was unexpectedly drawn into the project after working on "Made in Abyss," expressing excitement about collaborating with Abo-san.
Director Abo Takao: What kicked it all off was the CEO of Kinema Citrus, Ogasawara-san (Muneki), coming to me and letting me know a project was in the works. I was asked to direct the show, but I didn't know much about the series back then, so I read the source to find out whether I could handle it.
