| 10% of the movie profits go to Potocki |
| Wowza. Whatever the story ends up being, it looks like this is going to be one intense experience. |
|
| On-Gaku was amazing, and Rock'n Roll Mountain is basically a one man studio, so I think this one will be really good as well. |

| LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO |

- Can 100m surpass Umamusume in terms of sprint scenes?
- The loading screen of the offcial web site is nice.
| @kuroneko99 dont think so. umamusume is a nice balanced blend between CGDCT and spokkon. a blend that accuratly exemplifies what you can get in anime that you wont get in any other media outside Japan. this movie is based on an Uoto manga and he ruins his stories with annoying characters. Its also directed by some tryhard who would fit better in Europe with all those boring experimental aka pretentious animators. |

| @MichaelJackson I'm not familiar with the original manga or its author, but I'm intrigued that this is the third (or fourth, counting Rain) anime about running in the last 5-10 years. Is running that popular in Japan or is it just the easiest way to make an intense show about athletics? |

RobertBobert said: I'm not sure if I was called or not, but anyway... Sprint is not popular in Japan, since there is no fast runner. Your second guess is partially right. The author was fascinated with the astonishing fact that many years of effort may be just ruined by a failure of a fraction of a second.I'm not familiar with the original manga or its author, but I'm intrigued that this is the third (or fourth, counting Rain) anime about running in the last 5-10 years. Is running that popular in Japan or is it just the easiest way to make an intense show about athletics? The author said: You can read his actual words here. He also said "I want to depict the radiant moments of life".In 2016, I happened to be watching the preliminaries for the 100m sprint at the Rio Olympics on TV, and there was an athlete who was disqualified for a false start. His next chance might be four years from now, and it might even be his last Olympics. When I thought about it like that, I realized it was an incredibly tense world. Like, "It's going to end before I can even run." Losing without being able to fight is decided by a single momentary event. I thought it was strange. So I looked into whether there were any manga based on the 100m sprint, but there were very few, so I decided I wanted to draw one. |

| @kuroneko99 Thanks for the reply. I'm just amazed at how many track and field anime we've gotten in recent years. Granted, two thirds of them are Uma Musume, lmao. |
