Is Anno seething with jealousy right now?
Doubt it: he had made a cg Godzilla in Sunset on 3rd street a decade before Shin Goji, so he probably didn't mind Yamazaki being based at CG filmmaking rather than purely anime..
>>223448570It was really cool and kinda surreal learning Yamazaki did that CG Godzilla from Sunset on 3rd back then. I remember when that clip was spammed everywhere in fake Godzilla trailers.
>>223448064Anno is too busy working on his take on Space Battleship Yamato
>>223448064Always has been
>>223448570This is honestly what has me unsure about the movie. It's clear he had the idea for what would becoming Minus Zero for a long, long time, the set design and look and feel was pretty much there in the dream sequence. He obviously had time to figure out characters and relations and themes and it absolutely knocked it out of the park. It feels like watching a guy who just made a once in a lifetime shot he planned for over the course of a decade now having to pivot and do it again in a different direction.
