＜Ilya Kuvshinov's comment

I fell in love with Japanese animation when I was 6 years old and watched "Ghost in the Shell" directed by Mamoru Oshii. I wanted to create such a wonderful work! I decided to work in Japan because I wanted to make such a wonderful work. I am very honored to be a part of this new series version of a work that is very important to me. The design of Motoko and her friends was drawn with my love and respect for "Ghost in the Shell" inside me.
