A giant robot animation project was being led by Miura
🕑 Added 2021-09-13 22:01:16 +0000 UTCI'm quickly sharing some information about the area of the exhibition where they set up a reproduction of Miura's workspace.
Apparently you can see 12 color illustrations from Miura on the desk, produced as part of a giant robot animation project. The animation planning studio was called "Metabaron" (no doubt a nod to the Jodorowsky/Gimenez graphic novel series) and that was set up around Miura, who loved the giant robot genre. Chica Umino, Kouji Mori and Takashi Hoshi were also involved. Umino was doing the character design.
The project is said to be "rife with Miura's ideas", from the character outlines and the world view to the scenario. A visitor said on Twitter that the robot's form is reminiscent of Mitsuteru Yokoyama's work (Tetsujin 28-go, Giant Robo), but more elaborate. Finally, it seems two protagonists are involved: a girl who handles the "motion" and a boy who operates it (presumably the weapons?)
More details are likely to emerge over time, but that's all I have for now.
P.S. The image illustrating this post is taken from the animation of Giant Robo.
