Shoji Kawamori Discusses Arjuna

Anime News Network has published an exclusive report on creator Shouji Kawamori’s discussion of his recent anime TV series Chikyuu Shoujo Arjuna, or “Earth Maiden Arjuna,” as it will be titled for its American release, transcribed from an interview at the recent Anime Expo. The series has been heavily criticized by a section of the American anime fan community for its pedantic theme of ecological protection, but has also been recognized by other viewers, for example, in this AnimeNation Ask John article, as being one of the most original and compelling anime productions ever filmed.
