【Ira Ishida】
As a kid, I have been growing up watching many anime masterpieces. I am overjoyed that 「Ikebukuro West Gate Park」 will be made into an anime. wonder how the anime will turn out compared to the TV drama and stage play. I wonder how the anime will portrait the irregular part of society. I have my faith in the hand of Japan's anime.
