Curiosità

Baton is a 2009 Japanese animated science fiction film written by Shunji Iwai and directed by Ryuhei Kitamura. It comprises three 20-minute episodes, and was released to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the opening of the port of Yokohama to trade with the West following the 1859 end of the policy of seclusion.

Production

The film was produced using rotoscoping. It was Ryuhei Kitamura's first animated film and Shunji Iwai's first experience with rotoscoping. In an interview with alltheanime.com, Iwai explained, "I had written and produced a film called Baton. That was the first time I worked with rotoscoping, but there was no way to do it in Japan, so we had to get a team together in America.

The film reunited Kitamura with Aya Ueto, with whom he had previously worked on Azumi. It also reunited Kitamura with Nori Sato, with whom he had previously worked on LoveDeath (2006) and The Midnight Meat Train (2008).

The ending theme is "Tsutaete ~ pass it on" by Tomoko Tane.
