Actually, ''Belladonna'' had an experimental live-action film inserted in the middle.

(Return to animation)
Devil: “Jeanne. You are beautiful”.
(The last picture of the French Revolution is said to have been added later, but it is clearly stated in the scenario.)

However, that part remained in the early 16mm print, and some viewers saw it, but it had already been cut out when Harada saw it.

Anime Report No. 4 (1975) details the harsh and tragic production scenes of Mushi Production's adult anime, including ''Belladonna.''
It was published by Eisanro, an open shop labor union made up of freelance filmmakers and animators. This is the labor union that Harada was a member of.
''The Arabian Nights' Entertainment'' resulted in suicides and deaths from overwork.
Mushi Productions' management deteriorated to the extreme, and when they released ``Belladonna'', the president of the distribution company, Herald, said, ''I don't understand the meaning at all!'' and a major overhaul was made. (Also mentioned in Eiichi Yamamoto's book)
The anime report records the harsh exchanges between Mushi Productions and Herald after the movie was released.
Many works that are now known as world-famous masterpieces were often not understood and treated unfairly at the time they were produced.
This can also be said to be one example.
