Another interview from our backlog! @PatzPrime.bsky.social and @evanminto.com interviewed Macross creator Shoji Kawamori and veteran designer Hidetaka Tenjin a few years ago at Otakon. 👉 READ: buff.ly/IzKtKoB

Shoji Kawamori and Hidetaka Tenjin at Otakon.

Shoji Kawamori: The time is finally here. It’s been 30 years that we have wanted this to happen. And I feel that we are very happy to be able to get to this point in time. It’s kind of like seeing the Cold War settle, because there’s no time to be fighting amongst each other when there are things like COVID and so on out there. So it really feels good to see progress.

Hidetaka Tenjin: I don’t really have the same kind of 30 years of context that Mr. Kawamori has, but what I am able to say is that seeing change happen between the relationships between Harmony Gold and being able to properly represent Macross to Americans is definitely something big for me. Because for me, I have lots of American friends and associates, and I’ve met them through conventions like Otakon, and they keep on telling me how Macross means a whole lot to them.
