I ended my last post by mentioning "the other Satoshi." This person's work inspired and shaped the idea behind my proposal to Tony, a proposal that could potentially change how anime projects are financed and distributed.
I ended my previous post by saying I considered my second crossing of paths with the legendary animation producer Masao Maruyama, or Maruyama-san to be my calling to make my contributions to both his and Satoshi Kon’s legacies. I will now explain why and it involves someone who is both a business associate and a friend.
