Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The original 1979 'New Journey' was rushed to theaters after Leiji Matsumoto's bankruptcy—this remake finally gives the story its intended visual scope.
The 'Prior Chapter' subtitle is deliberate misdirection; this actually adapts the SECOND half of the original film's plot first, saving the true 'new voyage' for part two.
