KUBOTA: No, only once at the very beginning. How many times did you repeat this kind of discussion? I will have to turn everything I've just said into plot lines myself.' (LOL) And when I did that, almost everything I said were accepted with 'This is good.' 'Let's do that.' Then I got worried as I thought 'Oh no. I just said one after another what I came up right at that place.

UROBUCHI: In particular I did not prepare in advance any idea. IWAKAMI: There we threw in and exchanged many ideas, and then I gathered and summarized them ( cf p.124). I remember thinking, 'Oh, he is a person who takes memos with a PC.' (LOL) IWAKAMI: According to the material from that time and the mail history, the first meeting was held in October 2008.ĪOKI: It was at that time that I first met Urobuchi-san. When did all of you first gather together? I think it took place unexpectedly quickly, so much that I could not remember the process. IWAKAMI: And then we had some talks about talking to Urobuchi-san and Ume-sensei about joining. KUBOTA: Surely it must have been around 2008. It was with nuance, like 'For the mahou shoujo format, there should still be possibilities.'

IWAKAMI: It's not like you assertively said 'I want to do Mahou Shoujo!!'. When I asked later 'Um? Didn't Iwakami-san first mention it?' and I was told 'No, that's not the case.' (LOL) SHINBO: I cannot remember such a thing at all.
