アニメ『宝石の国』はすべてが宝石のように美しい 音楽と映像が織りなす緻密な世界

アニメ『宝石の国』は音楽までもが美しい

 『宝石の国』は、文明が滅んだ世界という舞台設定のため、なるべくデジタルではなくアナログらしさが感じられるような音を使おうと、劇伴のみならず音響効果にもかなり注力したそうだ。たとえば、キャラクターが歩く時は、普通の足音ではなく、石がぶつかるようなコトコトとした音がするのだが、キャラクターごとにこの足音も変えられているのだとか。さらに、靴のヒール部分は木製という細かい設定も設けられており、それに基づいてあのコトコト音に至ったのだという。こうした話を聞いてしまうと、どうしても本編でその違いを確かめたくなってしまう。そして、気がつけば、すでに繰り返し作品を鑑賞している自分がいるのだ。

 もともと、本作は設定がやや難解なため、多少は集中していないとストーリーが頭に入ってきにくく、流し見には不向きな作品だ。その上、ついつい美しい映像に見入ってしまったり、細やかな音楽に聴き入ってしまい、キャラのセリフを聞き逃してしまったりすることもしばしば。もちろん、制作陣は一回の鑑賞でも内容を把握できるよう苦心しているに違いないのでなんだか申し訳ないのだが、これほど作り込まれた作品世界を堪能するには、むしろたった一度の視聴ではもったいなさすぎる。

 京極監督は、インタビューで「『タダで見るアニメじゃないよね』と思って貰えるような作品を目指している」(引用:『宝石の国』アニメはこうして作られている!京極尚彦監督が捉える「宝石」の世界とは)と語っていたが、音楽・音響的な面も含めて、まさに監督の狙い通りの作品に仕上がったのではないだろうか。
