The hints are drawn from the first episode, so Mori is glad if the audience could see it from various perspectives, such as being curious about the mystery or liking the world view of Maru and Kiruko traveling through the ruins. As a production side, the production of the first episode was the most difficult. It is an introductory part, so the animators wanted the audience to like the world view and characters, look forward to the future.

Because of this, he asked the editorial department to appoint a separate editor,
