Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This aired during peak 'Cool Japan' government propaganda era, accidentally becoming a meta-commentary on itself.
Keiji Fujiwara (Matoba) was legendary for voicing both comedy villains and tragic fathers; this was his most unhinged government agent role before his passing in 2020.
