I dealt with that throughout the directing and that part was something I really coordinated closely with Hirayama-san to do. Hirayama-san was able to provide very detailed animation specifications, such as: “For this part here, I want this person to draw it.” So, to do this or that scene, we even convinced and sought out certain people.”
