I humbly accept the criticism that several scenes in Episode 1 contained disrespectful depictions of other cultures and other people.
Even if the future developments or themes differ from your concerns, I have decided not to launch the work, as the fundamental limitations of this project's premise are clear.
I believe this incident has exposed my complacent sensitivity toward human rights when dealing with a specific era and setting, and that my direction lacked delicacy. I am deeply ashamed.
In my immersion with the mindset of focusing on the protagonists, I failed to properly recognize that I was replicating historical contexts and the problematic representational methods that past creative works have mishandled.
I also deeply empathize with the point that this is not a character setup to be treated lightly in a genre work.
What I thought was passion for the material now seems to have manifested as arrogance, and I am reflecting and looking back on myself.
I will accept the criticism of the work with a heavy heart.
I am sorry for causing you any discomfort in your reading experience.
