Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
MadaraUsi's TTRPG scenario 'Summit of Deities' is notorious in Japanese tabletop circles for killing player characters via 'sanity loss from beautiful vistas'—the film preserves this mechanic visually.
Director Kumagai animated this solo over 18 months while working commercial jobs; the vertical scrolling technique was inspired by 1970s Japanese manga panel layouts, not Western animation.
