Kawirajiri made the following comments.

Russell-Marchey director Highlander, which was produced about 20 years ago, brought a truly brilliant impression with stylish images and romantic music of "Queen".

Working as a new animation by setting up "Highlander" as a new hero is a rugged challenge for me and it was a plan that can stir up the willingness of creation at the same time.

A difficult situation continued from the beginning to the end like work overlapping with foolish journey of the main character Colin, additionally, an accident of hospitalization due to hard work near completion of the film. It also became another memorable work such as rush check in the hospital room and entering the studio with crutches.

Still, thanks to excellent staff, it was finished in a work that was awesome.

I would be pleased if you could feel the charm of the new "Highlander".
