About Dark Myth Gaki Chapter/Heaven Chapter
An animated adaptation of Daijiro Morohoshi's masterpiece, which shocked the 70's Japanese sci-fi manga world with its rich ancient history pedantry and the charm of its elaborately constructed worldview. The production of the main animation is Asiado of "Chibi Maruko-chan". The director is Tomomi Mochizuki of "Dirty Pair FLASH2". A young boy, Takeshi, is guided by a mysterious old man, Takeuchi, from Nagano to ancient Izumo. Takeshi gets lost in a dark world while visiting famous places related to ancient mythology. So Brahman, the will of the universe, began to tell Takeshi a startling fact.
Directed by Takashi Anno, Dark Myth Gaki Chapter/Heaven Chapter leans on a strong ensemble — Nozomi Sasaki, Mizuho Suzuki, Show Hayami — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 1990.
