── Thoughts after receiving the anime adaptation
I once fantasized that something I created would become his TV anime. Oh my God! Really?
I remember like it was yesterday that Toho’s enthusiasm when explaining the project was incredible.
It’s been over three years since then, and I’m really happy that the time has finally come for him to announce his work and to be able to deliver his work to everyone.

──Message to all the fans
I think those who have played the game can imagine the difficulty of adapting this work into an anime.
He, P.A. WORKS, and the anime production team worked on this issue with great care, and we were also involved in supervising more than we expected, including writing the script and recording the audio.
We hope that everyone will enjoy the anime “Tenho no Sakunahime”!

── Thoughts after receiving the anime adaptation
I was in a dream state when the original work sold beyond my expectations, so when I was offered this opportunity, I was so excited.
It felt like it was someone else’s problem. After that, I was able to be more involved in the original work as a supervisor than I had expected, and little by little I began to feel a sense of ownership and responsibility. Now that the broadcast is approaching, I’m getting more nervous…!

──Message to all the fans
Needless to say, games and anime are different media. There are a number of things that have changed from the original work in this adaptation, such as length limitations and differences in the means of conveying information.
This may sound unsettling to some people, but this work really took care of the original work.
There are many pleasant surprises, such as places where the charm of the original has been expanded many times over, and places that were lacking in depiction have been interpolated.
We hope you enjoy watching Sakuna and her friends move around energetically.
