We have comments from Director Namba and Chief Director Sugahara! Director Namba said, "Golden Kamuy" is a work that has a lot of hurdles to overcome for an anime adaptation because it has a solid story, historical reality, Ainu and ethnic minority language and culture, action and gags, and vulgarity that is difficult to express. I am confident that the director Sugahara and the production staff of Brain's Base, who will be taking over the baton this time, will be able to boldly challenge this high hurdle and create a finish that is even more fulfilling than the previous series! Sugahara said. Chief Director Sugahara said, "The way out is not yet clear, but we are spending our days struggling to keep up with the ism created by Director Namba and Geno Studio. At any rate, the entire staff is working hard together so that fans of the original work and the anime can enjoy it even more than before. (c)Satoru Noda/Shueisha, Golden Kamuy Production Committee
