Strange how additional terms can make Google turn up *more*. I found
this video about the Tomino award ceremony with a quick interview:

And here's an interesting Japanese transcript of one of the
roundtables (but not, apparently, the one in question):

If you can interpret the output of Google Translate's
Japanese->English, you may benefit from:

And unfortunately, we can't expect the _Manga Impact_ book until March
2010: http://www.phaidon.com/store/film/manga-impact-9780714857411/

I found one blog post on pardo.ch when I went back for a closer look:

     "Dell 'importance of design in pencil on Katsuhito Ishii: "I
always do sketches in pencil, I do not know if they are beautiful but
I could not work without" the special effects of motion reproduction
created by Ichiro Itano:' It is the way I have to convey my
expressiveness. I like to go out in Schedule ordered and realistic
timeline to involve people, I enjoy it! " "

     "A fan of Gainax wants to know if the fan service and
merchandising related to their projects are still important today that
the association has won a crucial role in the universe of animation.
M. Otsuka says yes, explaining: "All products prolong the pleasure of
the film. It takes talent to continue to enjoy a movie just looking.
We always need an object resembling the film, which can evoke
sensations. ” Just do not forget that commercial products remain so,
shall not affect the work of art. "

Immano, is this Otsuka quote at all like what you were thinking of?

     "Yoshiyuki Tomino said amused: "When I create a female character
I do it in an absolute condition: a woman must be unreachable for me
because this way I can create a character that is not just to my
taste."
      Takami Akai: "We do not describe a real character. The basis of
our work are the eyes of a young woman of 15 years. For a fifteen
women and monsters are the same level. It 'true that the characters
have female characters, but they are fantastic characters. ” I think
we try to convey the feeling we have for women ... ""

I sometimes wonder about Google Translate - 'For a fifteen [year old]
woman and monsters are the same level.'? But it seems to be a
reasonable translation of the Italian: 'Per un quindicenne le donne e
i mostri stanno allo stesso livello.'

Unrelated, yet funny:

"When asked what his thoughts were on the festival Pikachu replied
philosophically “pika pika pika pika, pikachu”. Following this Shoko
Nakagawa also known as the ‘queen of the blog’ in Japan for her site
Shokotan performed her new single ‘Antenna of the Heart’ which
features on the ending credits of the film. As she clung to her cuddly
Pichu she was joined by a dancing Pikachu, thankfully he didn’t join
her on the harmonies."

Related, yet not funny:

"Courage, motivation and reflection were all huge themes at the Ex-Rex
that afternoon as the screening of Isao Takahata’s cautionary tale set
during the WW2 Kobe fire-bombing’s Grave of the Fireflies brought the
audience to tears leading to a very emotional Q&A session in which
Takahata said of his movie “this is the story of our generation, it’s
what I have lived, fortunately I lived through this but many died,
many of my friends had stories like this one.”"
