Why this episode matters

Returning characters now have to act together inside one continuing story. PJ Ace cites Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind as an influence.
The original 4:40 release is Part I. PJ Ace announced Parts II and III. The production notebook below records his reported schedule, cost split and what he disclosed about the picture and sound.
