A new era.

Imagine the power.

Imagine the judgment of that power.

A new frontier where only a select few can go.

Know that the answer is "Almagest."

Video Production Information

Rin Hayashi(moto ackermann)

I received a powerful image from GOLI, and combined it with the other animations and images in the movie.

I cross-referenced the movie with that of the movie for 卑弥呼 and felt that the movies were similar.
I then took great efforts to make the movie. Working alone, the toughest part was making the mecha spread its wings out like a butterfly!

Mr. GOLI was able to draw images that can move people, and I incorporated 3-D like animations into the film.
I tried to make this movie on a grand scale. I'm doing well-I hope.
