Interviewer: In our previous interview with Mr. Fukui, he said, Id want to cherish the atmosphere of the original Yamato. Mr. Fukui aims for that with the storytelling, and will you do the same with the direction and filmmaking?
Habara: Thats right. Ive talked with Mr. Fukui from the early stages of the meetings and said I intended to put in the images that we saw. We cant help but match the tempo of modern times, so we cant settle into the unhurried feeling of older anime. However, the original Yamato was mainly about filmmaking, and I intend to properly follow the grammar of drawing. Id like everyone to be able to say I wanted to see scenes like that! I want them to enjoy actually watching and seeing how a scene turned out.
