Comments from related parties
Hideki Tenjin
This is a big responsibility.
Godzilla and giant robots are now something of a traditional Japanese art form, and the more I depict them, the more I am subjected to the strict scrutiny of my seniors, who are extremely discerning in Japan. The essence of the pain is not so much the external appearance, but how to make the spiritual world, the history, exist in the limited space of a sheet, and how to make the picture full of energy... Well, now, that is why it is not every day in life that I have such a fun illustration challenge.

■Director Kofumi Shizuno
I think that both anime Godzilla and Pasirim are works that have aspects of "monster movies" but also have fascinating "human dramas" that confront them. I would really like to see such works collaborate with each other across oceans, and I would really like to see it on the screen someday.

Director Hiroyuki Seshimo
When I met Director Steven S. DeKnight at Soul Nation 2017, I got a sense from him: ......
It was, "I love it, Godzilla! I love monsters! I love giant robots!" I love giant robots! It was great to collaborate with such a director!
