Summary (by
GFernandes) of the conversation with Noriyo Sasaki and Kaoru Okehara at ComicCon Experience in Brazil.
video here- Kurumada always wanted to show the evolution of Saori and for this reason they decided to animate Saintia Shô.
- They said that Saintia is a way to present the series to new fans since it shows the point of view of Shoko, she knows as little as the new fans.
- It was asked if in Japan they see Shoko as a Pegasus woman, as it's in Brazil.
The Japanese laughed as if it was a dumb thing. But some old fans in Japan also make these comments.
- Chimaki is very busy but dedicated herself in the production of the anime so there is a balance in her style and the classic anime.
- The producers talked a lot with Chimaki to keep the colors and flowers specific to each Saintia because each flower has its meaning.
- Kurumada is hard to talk about. But one thing he asked for was a highlight for Saori.
- Kurumada rarely makes demands on any animation. But Kurumada talks to all the spinoff authors to say what he expects from them and what they shouldn't do.
- Kurumada gave Chimaki a list of which constellations she could use in the manga .
- The Japanese joked about the Crystal Saint when they were asked about the possibility of fillers in the anime.
The intention is to have no fillers.
- They will not divulge how many episodes will be released.
