This take is bewildering to me, given Yuasa's history and that of the studio he founded. Science Saru exists in part because he thought it was important that more voices exist within Japanese animation- it's one of the few studios with a multi-cultural staff, and when he retired as president he passed the role to Eunyoung Choi, the only Korean woman with any prominence at all in the industry.

He made a show that had actual Japanese nationalists mad at him, because it was about a mixed couple and their family trying to survive a natural disaster and it painted racists in a bad light.

The director of Dandandan, Fuga Yamashiro, previously worked on Keep your Hands of Eizouken! and Tatami Time Machine Blues as an assistant director, Dandandan is his directorial debut.
