Gainax Fukushima produces a 15-second anime CM for the 450th anniversary project of Megohime, who was born in 1568 and the wife of 17th-century warlord Masamune Date.
The project was launched to promote her birthplace, Miharu-cho in Fukushima Prefecture, where the studio and its museum have been located since March 2015.
