The two previously worked together on CG anime Knights of Sidonia, for which Shizuno is listed as director amd Seshita co-director.
And it doesn’t look like made-in-Japan Godzilla content is going to be lightening up anytime soon, with the announcement of a CG Godzilla anime movie from serious-as-a-heart-attack anime scriptwriter Gen Urobuchi.
Just as Shin Godzilla was co-directed by Anno and Shinji Higuchi, so two will a pair of directors, Kobun Shizuno and Hiroyuki Seshita, share duties on the CG Godzilla project.
Still, the CG Godzilla anime is set to beat all of those other projects to the punch, with an expected release in 2017.
