Kuromi was designed by an animator at Studio Comet, the studio that produced the My Melody anime.

Thirty years after the Tokyo subway sarin gas attack, the Aum Shinrikyo film finally gets a limited release in the US. It's still not available in Japan (Saito Hiroaki) - Expert - Yahoo!News

This AUM is based on a book written by two journalists, one American and one British. They have written about Aum's activities since before the Tokyo subway sarin gas attack, and also delve into the relationship between Aum and Japanese society. It covers the origins of Aum Shinrikyo, the murder of lawyer Sakamoto's family, and the election campaign for the House of Representatives as the Truth Party, as well as clips that have been sealed away as 'dark history' such as 'Live TV Until Morning!', shows featuring Tunnels, and a talk show between Beat Takeshi and Shoko Asahara (real name Chizuo Matsumoto), making it a sensational read even for those who are unfamiliar with the situation at the time. It is quite scary that Aum Shinrikyo became a topic of variety shows and was 'enjoyed' by the Japanese. It can be said to be an important phenomenon in Japanese history.
