The film's production team has decided to hold a "sub-voice screening" of the film.

The three commentators are the director Masaaki Yuasa, Kensuke Ushio, who also composed the music for "Ping Pong the Animation" and "Devilman crybaby," and Nippon Broadcasting System announcer Naoki Yoshida, who will navigate the film. They will talk nonstop about the secret production of the film for 151 minutes of the film's running time, with "spoilers OK, anything goes".

The intention of reducing the number of songs in the theatrically edited version to about half of those in the distributed version, the background of each character not officially revealed, the foreshadowing in the story, the parts that dared to leave a sense of discomfort, the scenes the director most wanted to depict, etc., are just some of the "super explanations".

Masaaki Yuasa (Director)
I was able to talk about a lot of things, so I hope you can listen to it as a supplementary reading.

I look forward to seeing you at the theater.

Kensuke Ushio (music)
Talking with the director for the first time while looking at the film as a whole, I was able to learn about the director's particulars, which I had not noticed at the time of production, and I was also able to ask the director about the music again. I think you can enjoy the work three times more interestingly with the second voice!

Naoki Yoshida (Nippon Broadcasting System Announcer)
After the recording, my understanding doubled, and so did the mystery of "What are these people thinking? (laugh). (Laughs) Anime is interesting even when viewed in a normal way, but when you watch it with a story behind it, it takes on a whole new level of interest.
Especially for this work, I felt like "Let's talk more about it!
