New PV of "Saint Dunbine Blu-ray BOX" narrated by Norio Wakamoto! Director Yoshiyuki Tomino's comment also arrived!

Director Yoshiyuki Tomino's comments and a new PV for the "Saint Dunbine Blu-ray BOX" have been released.

The "Saint Dunbine" is a TV animation series broadcast in 1983, directed by Yoshiyuki Tomino, known for "Mobile Suit Gundam" and "The Legendary God Ideon". A young Japanese man, Sho Zama, is summoned to the other world of "Baiston Well" as a "holy warrior" piloting the humanoid machine "Aura Battler". When Shaw learns of the ambitions of Drake Luft, a local lord who plans to rule not only Byston Well but also the world on earth, he boards the Aura Battler "Dunbine" and throws himself into the battlefield. Set in a full-fledged fantasy world, which was still rare at the time, this work has been highly acclaimed not only for its hard-hitting war drama story, but also for its unique character design by Tomoken Kogawa and biological mecha design by Kazutaka Miyatake, and is still very popular today. The story set in "Byston Well" has also become director Tomino's lifework, and this work can be considered the origin of the "Byston Well" saga that followed.
⇒ The first Blu-ray box set of the "Saint Dunbine" anime will be released!

The new PV released this time includes an image quality comparison video that makes it easy to see the 2K scan and HD remastering, as well as a new narration by Norio Wakamoto, who narrated the TV series when it first aired.

In addition, a comment by director Yoshiyuki Tomino, excerpted from the enclosed bonus "The Complete Byston Well Recordings," has also been released!

BOX I, which will be released on July 28, 2017, will also include, as a video bonus, a "Recorded Footage of Tomoken Kogawa's Illustration Creation," which shows the creation of illustrations by character designer Tomoken Kogawa. The illustrations drawn during the filming will be used for the cover of the enclosed bonus "Byston Well Record Complete Collection (100 pages)".
The "Complete Collection of Documentary" includes newly recorded interviews with over 20 original staff members from both BOX I and II, as well as a re-recorded commentary on the world of Byston Well by director Yoshiyuki Tomino, "The Expanding Byston Well," and other luxurious extras.

Director Yoshiyuki Tomino's comment
I see that "Dunbine" has been working hard.
I think it's no surprise that "Dunbine" isn't recognized until 10 or 20 years have passed.
I think it is only natural that "Danbine" would not be recognized until 10 or 20 years after its release, and that there are people who still like it, and that the memories of watching it as a child are now clearly understood and supported as part of the anime or fantasy genre. I have come to think that "Dunbine" was also doing well.
What does it mean to say that it is losing to Gundam?
