Plants exist in the weather and light rays that surround them - waving in the wind, shimmering in the sunlight. I am always puzzling over how to draw such things.

It would be wonderful if I could see the end of civilization during my lifetime.

To have a film where there's an evil figure and a good person fights against the evil figure and everything becomes a happy ending, that's one way to make a film. But then that means you have to draw, as an animator, the evil figure. And it's not very pleasant to draw evil figures.

I don't intentionally make deep movies.

I never read reviews. I'm not interested. But I value a lot the reactions of the spectators.
