Where it came from
Sakugan originated as a multimedia project titled Project ANIMA, a collaboration between DeNA, Sotsu, and the radio broadcaster Nippon Cultural Broadcasting. The initiative was designed to solicit original science fiction anime concepts from the public, with the premise of the show emerging from the winning entry of the 'Science-Fiction/Robot' category. The series was brought to life by the animation studio Satelight and aired in 2021, focusing on a father-daughter duo navigating a subterranean world in a customizable mechanical walker.
The series was directed and written by Junichi Wada, who sought to blend a sense of high-stakes adventure with the intimate, often strained emotional dynamic between the two protagonists, Memempu and Gaganbar. Visually, the production leaned heavily on the contrast between the claustrophobic, labyrinthine underground tunnels and the stark, sprawling landscapes of the 'Labyrinth' beyond. While the show received attention for its unique creative origin and ambitious world-building, it was met with mixed critical reception regarding its pacing and tonal shifts.
