Two different 1989 productions circulate under the English label Peacock King 2. Nintendo’s 1998 filmography identifies George’s entry as the anime Peacock King 2: Castle of Illusion (孔雀王2 幻影城), 1 a 1989 release adapted from Makoto Ogino’s manga and directed by Ichiro Itano, best known for the “Itano Circus” missile barrages in Macross. It is not the live-action Saga of the Phoenix directed by Nam Nai-choi.
Japanese anime databases list George for one entity: the concept design of the Cherubim (ケルビム), a central monster in the film. A scan of the original Japanese credit is still needed to turn that attribution into a primary-source claim.
