Just saw a mention of this on /a/ with some translation of the cover note --

“Please help.
The tokusatsu technology system is about to end.
A contents industry that Japan boasts to the world is about to disappear…
…It doesn’t matter if it’s the national government, local body, legal entity, or a corporation [that steps in to help]. Please help tokusatsu, as it helped inspire us and taught us so much. Please.
Please help as soon as possible especially regarding the preservation of miniatures [and other props.]“ -Hideaki Anno

>The report, titled “An Investigative Report regarding Japanese Tokusatsu,” was prepared as part of Cultural Affairs Agency’s Media Arts Information Hub and Consortium Building Enterprise policy. In the summer of 2012, Anno and Higuchi helped put together a special museum exhibit regarding Japanese life-action cinematic traditions involving miniatures and huge dioramas

It's so much like the reactions of the old team from APFilms/Century 21 Productions in the Supermarionation documentary I watched a couple of weeks back, where only a fraction of the material was saved, and the art is falling into antiquity.
