Production

Keane initially said the following when he heard about the possible collaboration: "When I first looked at the phone and saw how small the screen was, I thought this wasn’t going to be for me...I realize now that I was wrong on that."

An interactive version allowed viewers to "follow either character or examine the various settings from various angles depending on how they moved their phones".

Plot

The film is "a hand-drawn, lyrical look at the intertwined lives of a boy and a girl from birth to adulthood".

Critical reception

The film garnered an Annie Award nomination, and is currently short listed for an Academy Award nomination too.

List of Guilty Gear characters

This is an index of characters from the Guilty Gear fighting game series.

Creation and influences

Daisuke Ishiwatari has cited Kazushi Hagiwara's manga Bastard‼, and the fighting game Street Fighter II as influence to the Guilty Gear series. However, he noted that the majority of other fighting games were just recycling the character's same skins or style, and so he wanted every character "to be unique in their own way."Kazuhiko Shimamoto's characters was also noted as an inspiration for the men characters, with Ishiwatari saying they needed to be "chivalrous person-like characters", and citing Anji Mito "the most closest to this type". The female ones, on the other hand, have not followed a standard, with he only saying that they needed look like real women.

There are many musical references in the Guilty Gear series, including various characters' names and moves, which were inspired by rock and heavy metal bands like Queen, Guns N' Roses, and Metallica. For instance, the main character, Sol Badguy, was named after Queen's lead vocalist, Freddie Mercury. Both his real name, Frederick, and his last name were influenced by the singer, whose nickname was "Mr. Badguy".
