The scenes in the film were incredibly immersive, showcasing how the animators masterfully captured not just the anime aesthetic but also the authentic details of Davao City’s streets. From the lighting to the textures, the attention to detail added a layer of realism that resonated deeply with viewers, especially those familiar with the area.
Redditor and Davao City resident Conquistaa pointed out that the street depicted in the film was inspired by Lapu-Lapu Street, where the Jollibee Agdao branch is prominently located at a corner. Including Jollibee in such a global film feels like a love letter from Japan to the Philippines—a tribute to the strong cultural ties between the two countries. This subtle yet impactful inclusion not only celebrates real-world locations but also highlights the mutual respect and admiration shared between Filipino and Japanese communities. It’s moments like these that make fans feel connected to both the Gundam universe and their own cultural roots.
