"Kawasaki is a big fan of the original comic, and he wanted keep Yu as close to the original as possible. That was very difficult to do. We had to work a lot on his face, because a slight difference in the positioning of his eyes or nose made a big difference. Jan has slant eyes in the original comic, but we made them more foreign-looking. Little Boy and Tanaka are also different from the original. I think we did good job adapting them. The most difficult suggestion from Kawasaki was to make the characters realistic but not plain."--Character designer and animation director Hisashi Eguchi, in comments that appear on the official SPRIGGAN web site.

"I made music for films such as THE STRANGEST STORIES and NIGHT HEAD. They also had very dark themes. This time I tried to make music that focused on the 'mind' aspect, and I succeeded in reaching for a different sound. Technically speaking, I have been trying to make new music by adding cyber space-like noise on the top of regular orchestral music. I consider the music for SPRIGGAN the most sophisticated work of its kind."--Composer Kuniaki Haishima, in comments that appear on the official SPRIGGAN web site.
