We start from the storyboarding, but we dont have 100% of the storyboarding.

There will be twists and turns and changes along the way.
So yes, thats basically our process.
But domestically, meaning in Japan, I can say that were still very much far behind.
So, we have to see where our nation goes in terms of diversity going forward.
you’re free to watchPrincess Mononokein IMAX theaters March 26.
