Interestingly, Tezuka's idea for this film originated in his ideas for music and sound (each character has their own theme and instrument) and he closely monitored the production of the score which then allowed him to elaborate his storyboards.
Tezuka made this film in one week as a demonstration to his staff at Mushi that experimental anime could be done quickly and economically.
FIREBIRD is a similarly long saga which may appear confused and patchy (some say the result of Tezuka trying too hard to 'internationalize' the production), but is nonetheless a valuable anime in terms of how skilfully Tezuka infused Buddist, Shinto and Zen concepts with standard science fiction pondering.
