Good to know the film masters for the original Hunter x Hunter anime still exist. I wish that show would get remastered in HD. In fact, so many classic Nippon Animation shows like 3000 Leagues in Search for Mother and The Adventures of Peter Pan are way overdue for an HD remaster.

Really cool tour with some interesting details here. Smile

It's a bit sad that Crunchyroll's simulcast of Chibi Maruko-chan didn't last long...

Behind-the-scenes stuff like this is SO cool. That animation machine is like a piece of history frozen in time. Imagine how much work it's seen.

I love that they picked Takahata and Kurokawa's lead girls! Anne Shirley for Takahata and Sarah Crewe for Fumio Kurokawa. The second is hideously underrated he deserves way more love, he didn't even get an in memoriam!

Same here! It was very educational. Those machines in the basement really do belong in a museum but I can understand not tearing down some historical walls (if those walls could talk) to do that. I can't wait for what's next after that surprise project tease!
