Cartoon Saloon: An Irish Animation Studio that Needs More Attention
Cartoon Saloon is an animation studio that should be appreciated more. They tell unique stories with unique animation, proving that 2D animation is still alive and well.

The story revolves around Inspector Kijima Joichiro, played by Terajima Susumu , who appeared in "Negotiator: Mashita Masayoshi" as the field commander of the special crime investigation unit chasing the suspect on the ground. In the story's chronology, this work takes place before "Negotiator: Mashita Masayoshi," and the final scene of "Fugitive: Kijima Joichiro" leads directly into the opening scene of "Negotiator: Mashita Masayoshi."
