Hideaki Anno recently finished working on the world of Neon Genesis Evangelion with the end of the film series dubbed Rebuild of Evangelion, retelling the story of the original series with a number of changes across the four movies that updates the adventures of Shinji and NERV. With the prolific anime creator working on live-action projects in his “Shin Universe” it would appear that Anno himself was the one who had performed motion capture for Shin Ultraman, the latest movie of the universe that gives the giant monster-fighting hero a makeover in a world far different from the one he debuted in.
So Hideaki Anno was also the motion-capture performer of “Shin Ultraman”.The circle is now complete ♥ https://t.co/jVaXPNTYCk pic.twitter.com/aJVxcxXTZt
