Miyazaki On Scope Creep

From an interview with animator/director Hideaki Anno:

Anno still has regrets about the scene of the revival of the God Warrior. He wanted to use seven pieces of animation cels between key frame animations. But Miyazaki did not allow it because there was no time. So, five pieces animation cel were used. And Miyazaki did not allow the use of three colors for a shade. He did not allow two colors either at first, but accepted it. Anno says “There was a memo ‘If you use three colors, I will kill you’ from Miya-san.”
