Description

[Machine Translation] The long-awaited TV animation of the comic by Kaiji Kawaguchi, the author of "The Armada of Silence"! This is the second DVD volume of "ZIPANGU", a drama about men confronting extreme history. The crew of the Aegis "Mirai" of the Self-Defense Forces, who have come back in time to the midst of World War II, and the Japanese military personnel, including real people, create a realistic fictional world based on reality and historical fact, using the latest 3DCG technology and detailed mechanical expressions of each warship and aircraft, with a grand sense of scale and realism. The film is a topical and controversial work that uses the latest 3DCG technology and detailed renderings of warships, aircraft and other mechanics to create an animation with a grand scale and realistic feel. The film is not only about "war" but also about "human drama on the battlefield," and its advanced visual expression that beautifully blends 3DCG and 2D is a must-see! The film was made with the cooperation of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, and the South Seas Islands were covered in the pursuit of realism to the utmost limit. Recorded in 16:9 screen and linear PCM audio, which is different from the TV broadcast version! Includes episodes 4 to 6, 3 episodes in total. Jacket newly drawn by Yoshihiko Umakoshi, character designer, picture label specification. Enclosed explanatory booklet (4 pages).
Special Feature / Bonus Track: textless intro & outro
