Gundam Reconguista in G's Raraiya Stars in Guide Dog Poster
posted on by Bamboo Dong
Every season, The National Federation of All Japan Guide Dog Training Institution puts out a poster in collaboration with an anime property. This fall, the non-profit institution is working with Gundam Reconguista in G to feature Raraiya Monday, along with a labrador retriever puppy appropriately named Amuro.
The poster will be posted in 7,000 elementary and junior high schools, as well as a few other public institutions, encouraging people to volunteer as fosters who help raise guide dogs in their own homes before the pups are ready to start training at age one. The illustration was drawn by Kazuo Nagai, who has served as the art director for projects such as Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere, Noragami, and others, with an original design by Gundam: Reconguista in G's Ayumi Kurashima, and copy by Gundam creator Yoshiyuki Tomino. It also reminds people that guide dogs are an integral extension of their master, and not toys, and should not be disturbed when they are working.
This campaign is in its 13th year, with past posters featuring characters from Bodacious Space Pirates, Evangelion, and Madoka Magica.
