Two of Japan's biggest hitters are facing off at Universal Studios Japan this summer, and they'll be joined by even more before the year is out.

Universal's "Cool Japan" initiative was created five years ago to show off a global view of some of Japan's best entertainment. To kick off its fifth anniversary in 2019, the park will be hosting a collaboration between Godzilla and Neon Genesis Evangelion. The event also concides with the 65th anniversary of the Godzilla franchise.

2019 will boast 8 special attractions in total, divided across a Spring Term and a Summer Term. Spring will bring attractions devoted to Detective Conan and Lupin III, while the Summer Term will see Attack on Titan and Sailor Moon joining the Evangelion vs. Godzilla theatrical experience.
