Actually, both Evangelion and Pacific Rim take heavy inspiration from tokusatsu shows like Ultraman ☝🤓 no but actually, both Hideaki Anno (Evangelion's creator) and Guillermo Del Toro (Pacific Rim's director) are huge Ultraman fans. So their work is inspired by some of the showa era Kaiju, like Godzilla and Gamera!

Guillermo del Toro wanted Tom Cruise to star in Pacific Rim. The director reveals that Tom Cruise “wanted to do it” but that sadly a deal could not be made. This isn't the first time del Toro has almost worked with Tom Cruise on a project.
They're clearly inspired by Japanese monster movies and Pacific Rim director Guillermo del Toro says as much in this interview. But while one inspired the other, there's no official connection. Pacific Rim's Jaegers do not exist in the same universe as Godzilla.
Matsumoto stated that Kaiju No. 8 was influenced by tokusatsu media such as the Ultraman series, specifically Ultraseven (1967), as well as Shin Godzilla (2016) and Pacific Rim (2013).
The actor explains to Den of Geek, it came down to a “huge scheduling conflict” between the Legendary Entertainment production and another project, a remake of the 1973 Steve McQueen movie 'Papillon,' which Hunnam was “really, really invested” in making.
Weight is related to size the same way volume is, so if a 6-foot robot weighs 160 pounds, a 270-foot robot would weigh 14.58 million pounds. Gipsy Avenger, however, is listed as only weighing 4 million pounds – an impossible statistic, at least when taking into account Galileo's findings.

With a gross of $290.9 million worldwide, the film was a box-office disappointment. It also received mixed reviews; many critics considered it inferior to del Toro's film and criticized its story, while praising its visual effects, action sequences, and performances of Boyega, Eastwood and Spaeny.
