Comment from Yoshitoki Ohimai (original author)
I think there are many things that can only be expressed in anime. I wonder how it will turn out. I am excited about it now. In the manga, I told stories about people close to me, such as my family and friends, and people who are not close to me at all, but in the anime, I think it will be a work that everyone can think of as their own story. I hope that "Forms of Unknown" will become more familiar to more people. I am sure that Director Yamada will express the surprise outside the realm of the imaginable. I have high expectations for this film.

Naoko Yamada (Director) Comment
It's nice to meet you. My name is Naoko Yamada, and I am the director of this film. I am a director, and I am here to share my thoughts and feelings about other people. There are many ways to convey these feelings, and I think there are many forms. I would like to explore the signs of hope that lead to tomorrow with Shoya and his friends in this film.
