In charge of the original work: Imaizumi Tadaaki
“Encyclopedia of Pitiful Creatures” now becomes an anime. I was surprised when I heard about it. The editorial office staff seemed to enjoy creating the book by learning about the pitiful reality of the creatures…
Wow, now it is becoming an animation movie!? I want to know how “pitifulness” is depicted in the movie.
Pitiful creatures will make you smile. Everyone is living up to their fullest although they could not evolve well or being wired…
I hope we can deliver such a message to children, parents, and everyone else through those kind of animals…
I cannot wait for the completion. Please look forward for the roadshow.
