52-year-old accalimed robot anime director/designer Masami Obari draws a special collaboration art for Pacific Rim: Uprising, a sequel to Guillermo del Toro’s 2013 movie Pacific Rim, for its Japanese release starting on April 13.
Obari has worked on so many robot anime series in his 35-year career, including Ordian (2000), Gravion (2002, 2004), Dancouga Nova (2007), and Super Robot Wars OG (2010), as director/designer.
According to an interview with him and Uprising director Steven S. DeKnights, the art was all hand-drawn, using no CGs.
