Synopsis

Yoshio Murata, a factory worker, was told that he would be eaten by aliens in a week due to the treaty "Earthling Man Eater System" made for global peace. His only question is, "Do I taste good?" From that day on, Murata begins making preparations by applying cream and wearing headgear so that the aliens can eat deliciously. A friend Kinoshita suddenly made at the same time, an ex-wife who always talks about money when she goes to see her separated daughter, and a friendly girl Yuki-chan.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 11

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
