Awards
A pilot for Gojiban was submitted in March of 2019 to the first GEMSTONE Creators Audition, which had the theme of "Godzilla." It was awarded the grand prize of 300,000 yen, along with G vs. G, Fiction, Gifu Godzilla, DRESS, and Godzilla Trailer.[2] The prize-winning creators were thus given the opportunity to work with producers at Toho, with Gojiban becoming a full series aired on the official Godzilla Channel months later.

Trivia
- In the Go! Go! Godzilla-kun segment, Anguirus communicates with Godzilla-kun through roars and speech bubbles as a fan request by the Japanese YouTube user Uchi no Angirasu (うちのアンギラス). This is in reference to the Japanese theatrical version of Godzilla vs. Gigan, which featured Godzilla and Anguirus' dialogue being represented with speech bubbles. Anguirus' line "OK!" even mirrors that from the film.
- Similarly, the "Godzilla Dropkick" move that Godzilla-kun teaches to Minilla and Little in episode 4 is a reference to an identical move performed by Godzilla in Godzilla vs. Megalon. This too was a fan request, by user Yoshio-kun (ヨシオくん).
