Anime director Nanami Yamashita (voice of Nanami Hisami) had at a recent talk event.
Okuno asked the others at the event if they were happy about their characters' underwear not being shown in the newest Wake Up, Girls! anime series.
Okuno: Hey, I want to know. You can't see the characters' underwear in the performance scene. Does that make you happy?Everyone *riotous laughter*
Okuno: This comment says their are lots of people who are unhappy.
Yoshioka: They say that, but the reality is there isn't anyone!
Okuno: It's always been bothering me, from 4 years ago.
Yamashita: Definitely none!
Four years ago was around the time when the original Wake Up, Girls! anime directed by Yamamoto debuted.
In Devilman about no longer having anything to protect. In another Tweet, Yamamoto said "they" had figuratively stepped on a landmine.
Yamamoto seems to have taken offense at the voice actresses' implication that he had especially wanted to show the characters' underwear in the anime. The voice actresses apparently had been uncomfortable or frustrated with some of Yamamoto's decisions, but they never told him how they really felt. Yamamoto also posted a message suggesting the decision to show characters' underwear had originated from Avex Pictures.
Since his initial comments, Yamamoto has retweeted other Twitter s expressing dismay at the changes in the new show.
Yamamoto previously tweeted about his separation from Wake Up, Girls! on apparently poor in June.
The Wake Up, Girls! Shin Shō (Teekyū) is replacing Yamamoto as director.
