Approximate translation
Yamamoto:
- There's a meaning to the "cats".
- "Who's whose reincarnation" will eventually become much clearer, rather than just suggested.
- Episodes 7~9 will be fun, school-life episodes. From there on out, the story will take a more serious turn and by the half mark, a shocking development will unfold.
- Okada Mari's script is often so extreme that he ends up having to change it. (For instance, Amata sticking his head up Mikono's skirt in episode 3 was originally meant to be done into Mikono's crotch....???)
Kaji:
- According to Okada Mari, Mikono is an evil girl. (???)
- Zessica's feelings will keep evolving from now on.
- From the way he talks in the interview, it sounds like Zessica's "turn" should be coming soon.
