Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This film is a compressed recut of the 26-episode series with a completely different ending—think Evangelion theatrical edits but with even less budget dignity.
The Blue's designs were inspired by deep-sea creatures, which explains why they look like someone described 'alien' during a panic attack.
