>I must point out that creating this kind of anime is highly unusual in Japan at present. I feel this kind of anime is difficult to make these days as there are few animators now who can draw mecha and robots. As we’re seeing the emergence of 3D animation, I feel that hand-drawn mecha anime is on its way to becoming a lost technology. Such skills are becoming obsolete and an anime like this one could become an out-of-place artifact in a decade or two. I feel it’s an interesting coincidence that this anime is created when the new era, Reiwa, has just begun in Japan. I’d like viewers overseas to watch this anime from a creator’s point of view and understand the level of animation skills in Japan at this point in time. Some non-Japanese anime fans may believe that all anime made in Japan is great, however that’s not true. Furthermore, 2D animation is undergoing more and more restrictions while 3D animation is prevailing. Animation skills in Japan are changing and creators’ anxieties are rising. I truly hope that fans overseas can help us in protecting Japanese anime. This anime is full of nostalgia for my generation.
