7th Time Loop

Did you know they used motion capture to animate the dance scene in episode 3?? Then they made the storyboards, then a 3D base model to adjust the dancers to the size of the characters and to position them in the scene, getting the right angles, THEN drawed the whole thing.

7th Time Loop Opening & Ending

Commentary by OP & ED Storyboard Artist/Director, Ryosuke Nakamura

Saw this interview in Japanese using google translator (link in the source of the post) and the director got into a lot of details of how he views the story and how he represented it in the OP and ED videos! I wanted to bring parts of it here:

OPENING

Nakamura: "The opening depicts the world from Rishe's perspective. Rishe is a person who brings happiness to the world, but at the same time, she is a person who sees the world with happiness."

"The opening image has the image of being immersed in a world of 'euphoria'. On the other hand, for the ending, I wanted an image of someone being alienated from this world of 'euphoria'."

Interviewer: "there were also some ominous cuts in which Rishe, wearing a nightgown, was walking towards the sea before dawn, as if she was trying to reach out to the horizon."

Nakamura: "The sea over there is in 3D, but it has a real and disturbing feel to it, which was really good. As I mentioned earlier, for Rishe, the horizon was the point in her life that she couldn't cross, the point where she looped. And I think Rishe's way of life is to try to reach out towards that, to try to surpass it someday. [...] In the main story, Rishe works really hard to achieve that goal. That's rare. I think that's why everyone wants to support her."

The interviews comments how we see a few shots of Rishe sleeping in the opening and the director says that's Rishe's goal, and for her, life is a loop away so it's okay to relax now, though she doesn't actually do that.

The interviewer mentions how in a previous interview, the author Touko Amekawa explained how Rishe operates under the idea of working hard/suffering now so she can have an easy and carefree time someday later.

I'm also including here some verses of the song (translation from animesonglyrics):

Sever the thread of destiny Hey, play more freely, boldly Rewrite even a second of the present

Don't cloud transparent impulses with someone's fate theory Pierce through beyond the period Because surely the future can be changed

and from the full version:

Carve the silhouette of hope Advance without doubting your own possibilities

From this morning called today, a new light begins Shining brightly before my eyes Another irreplaceable birthday

ENDING

"In the ending, it seemed like [Arnold's] injury was healing."

Nakamura: "That injury wasn't just physical, it was also emotional..."

"When I had a meeting with director Kazuya Iwata, he told me, 'The ending song has a different perspective than the opening song'.

The song was ordered with the opening scene from Rishe's perspective and the ending scene from Arnold's perspective...Well, actually, there was more to the story than that from the ending's point of view [but let's leave it at that]".

About the flower petals: "each petal is a memory of your life that is looped over and over again. Each memory has different emotions, which is why it has different colors. It's in Arnold's hands at the end of the opening, and it continues as a motif at the ending..."

"Arnold just lives in a dark, dark world, and beyond that, he doesn't understand his own feelings. That hasn't been depicted in the original work yet, and I think it will be depicted in the future, so I apologize if my expression deviates from that. Still, in terms of visual expression, I thought I should go one step further and depict Arnold's feelings as I could imagine them at this point."

This reminds me I've seen the author say something on twitter about how Arnold is slowly learning to express (or was it understand?) his feelings thanks to Rishe throughout the story!

"This is what led me to decide to have the ending be set in an 'what if' world, with the two children surrounded by other characters. [...] That's why the ending flashback is in the world Arnold desired in his heart. It's designed so that you can see that it's not a real landscape from the past. The aim of the production was to create an indescribable sense of loneliness in the audience's hearts when they realized this. For me, Arnold's mental landscape was something like that."

"Rishe and Arnold did not meet when they were children. Therefore, everything is a story of a fantasy world, and to go even further, it is an ideal world that would not have happened that way. "

"Although they met much later, in reality they have been sharing their lives closely for a much longer time."

Interviewer: "I think that what is depicted there is very happy, but when I actually watched the video, I felt that I could see a certain sadness in it."

Nakamura: "From Arnold's point of view, would it be a "feeling of loss"? A person who knows that he is far removed from happiness, which actually did not happen. That is my understanding of Arnold as a person. When this is expressed as a video, the scene is supposed to depict happiness, but for some reason it gives off a sense of loneliness. The aim of the production was to convey that flavor."

And here are some verses (translations by animesonglyrics and lyrical-nonsense):

One by one, each and every fragment Try to put them together The more we collide The clearer the shape becomes Just the two of us, under an unreliable umbrella Hiding together The more we lean on each other The more we understand the pain

The smile you showed me Is joyful, joyful, joyful, it won't disappear You're fine just the way you are It's okay not to understand I'll hold your hand countless times On the path you walk

And may I add: In episode 11, after Arnold asks Rishe not to do anything too crazy so he won't have to send her away, she responds that she'll do what she wants anyway and if she has to leave, she will just find another way to return to Galkhein and his life, so he doesn't have to worry.

ALSO, episode 12 second title is "I'll go with you again and again, the way you live."

“I don’t know what you’re planning with this Coyolles business, but…” Arnold laced his tone with cruelty. “Don’t make me get rid of you.” Rishe pressed her lips together, but not because she was afraid. It’s like he’s pleading with me. Why? If he truly only desired that which allowed him to reach his goals, why would he sound so plaintive? Then, she made up her mind. “I can’t promise you that. Even if I become your wife, I’ll still act for myself—for my own goals. I won’t give that up even if it means you getting rid of me. However…” Rishe thrust her chest out and declared, “Toss me aside all you want. I’ll just come back.” “What?” “If you drive me out and break our engagement, I’ll just apply as a maid and come right back to this palace.” Arnold’s eyes went wide. Rishe smiled, feeling like she’d pulled off a successful prank. “If that doesn’t work, I’ll cross-dress and join the knights. If that doesn’t work, I’ll come here as an apothecary. I’ll acquire any and all skills to allow me access and grant me the power to see you.” (...) “So please don’t worry. I won’t let you get rid of me so easily.” “I’m sorry, Your Highness.” Rishe reached out to him, took his face in her hands, and peered deeply into his eyes. She knew it was rude to touch him like this, but she couldn’t stop herself. “I don’t know the emperor. To me, these are not your father’s eyes; they’re your eyes. They may be hateful to you, but I’ll say it as many times as I must.” She looked into that frozen sea and smiled. “I think you have the most beautiful eyes in the world.” (✿)

So please, don’t worry. I won’t stand by and allow you to get rid of me, Your Highness. To me, these eyes are your eyes, Prince Arnold. Even if you, yourself, detest them, I want to tell you this over and over again… I think your eyes are the most beautiful in all the world. - 7th Time Loop - Episode 11
