[Comment from director Kuo-san]
I’ve loved Pokemon since I was little. I never thought that I would be able to create an anime about Pokemon, which I have always loved, as an adult, so I am very happy and honored.
Producing an anime is difficult, but it was a lot of fun because it’s about my favorite Pokemon.
This is an anime that the whole studio put a lot of effort into making, so I hope everyone will enjoy it!
