[Machine Translation] The long-awaited low-priced version of Mushi Productions' Animerama is now on sale! Tezuka Osamu and Mushi Productions have released the "Animerama Trilogy," the world's first animation for adults. The first installment is the 1960s blockbuster "One Thousand and One Nights". It is a modern interpretation of the Arabian Nights, one of the world's four great books, and is a composite film with live-action images, using the latest technology. The characters are designed by Takashi Yanase. The main character is full of vitality, and the eroticism is depicted softly but boldly, as only animation can do. Osamu Tezuka himself drew the original drawings for the scenes featuring beautiful naked women. The film is over two hours in length, and the story is full of ups and downs. The interesting subject matter and bold screen composition make this a stylish work seen through modern eyes. The voice cast includes Yukio Aoshima as the main character, and Kyoko Kishida as the other main character. One of the topics of conversation is that famous people such as Shusaku Endo, Tofu Kita, Yasutaka Tsutsui, etc. make "one word appearances" in the film.
