[[Shunichi Ishimoto]] is the Character Designer and Chief Animation Director for the [[Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan (OVA)]] series. Check his page for more information on him.
'''- For the drawings, did you feel it was easy to draw JoJo?'''
Ishimoto: No, unfortunately (lol). I was still a newcomer as a key animator when I worked on the 1st season, and there were times back then when I was learning about the basics of animation, so I didn't have a sense that I had any leeway.▼
▲No, unfortunately (lol). I was still a newcomer as a key animator when I worked on the 1st season, and there were times back then when I was learning about the basics of animation, so I didn't have a sense that I had any leeway.
The designs in "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure|JoJo]]" are of such a unique type that I had never come across anything like them up to that point, and I remember the struggle I went through wondering if I could draw this art. So my first impression of it in terms of drawing the animation was that "JoJo" is really difficult.
'''- By the way, do you remember which was the first scene you drew?'''
Ishimoto: That was in "[[Episode 3|Youth with Dio
▲That was in "Youth with Dio," episode 3 of the 1st season. I think it was the scene where the house was on fire, and the main character Jonathan (voiced by: Kazuyuki Okitsu) and Dio (voiced by: Takehito Koyasu) are fighting as they drop down into it. Jonathan removes his belt, and throws it towards Dio.
Looking at the drawings I did back then now, there are places where I say "oh no" at how crude it looks, but it was the best work I could do at the time.

'''- So in the eight years since then, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that you've grown alongside "JoJo."'''
Ishimoto: That's exactly right, and I think that "JoJo" completely allowed me to train myself in basic art skills. In particular with the drawings I did up to "[[Stardust Crusaders
▲That's exactly right, and I think that "JoJo" completely allowed me to train myself in basic art skills. In particular with the drawings I did up to "Stardust Crusaders," those were realistic muscular lines, so it was very enlightening as an animator in terms of how to do the bone structure and muscles.
'''- The character designs and patterns change with each of JoJo's parts, so even though they are all part of a series, this is still quite a difficult title.'''
Ishimoto: That was the one thing that bothered me the most. It's common for techniques used up to a certain point to no longer be usable once the new part starts, so we put it all together while testing out various things every time.▼
