Comments】 ※Titles omitted

Original story: Nanahiko Tagagi
I was quite surprised to hear about the anime adaptation. My first thought was that it would be a lot of work. I wondered if all the details would work properly. Crowds and horses appear, and the large armor is complicated.
However, the finished PV was wonderful and exceeded my expectations. Not only the people and armor, but even the running horses have facial expressions that change, and the characters come alive. The director and everyone else showed their abilities. The script and direction are good, and it is sure to be an interesting work. I hope as many people as possible will see this film.
