Awesome concept for a Godzilla film, never really been into anime but I'm getting hyped for this.

 

[jmdajr]

The closest thing was this, and they were educational video for teaching children how to count.

heh. pretty cute.

 

[SOLDIER]

Think we'll get Madoka Magica X Godzilla merchandise next?

(I actually really want this)

 

[Doctoglethorpe]

Read this as Gorillaz cause it was right under their thread, got hyped, got sad.

 

[dragonlife]

Thank fuck.

 

[rikichi]

Didn't Kozaki work on the character designs for NMH?

 

[Daingurse]

Monster Planet with God Emperor Godzilla. I like this.

 

[Geno Breaker]

I can't wait for the twist to be (could be a legit spoiler)

Spoiler

I'm imaging the fucking PLANET ITSELF becoming a monster after thousands of years of spilled monster blood and radiation and what have you.

"I come back to find and kill Godzilla and all I find are wannabes. That's a lovely mountain range."

*ground quakes*

"Wait, those are GODZILLA'S SPINES!"

 

[Aki-at]

Cool mecha design but when are we going to start seeing the monsters!

Can't wait to see what type of look they're going to give this Godzilla.

Some supposed background info from an expo

Spoiler

Kamacuras, Orga, Rodan, Anguiras, Dogora, and Daghara all come out over the years from 1999-2022. They attack various cities and millions of people die. 2 alien races come to Earth and give people technology. Godzilla appears in like 2030 and over the years kills billions of people. Finally people just leave the planet.

Godzilla Anime Is Film Trilogy Starring Mamoru Miyano

The "Animation Film Godzilla Special Stage" event at the AnimeJapan 2017 convention announced on Sunday that the Godzilla anime is a film trilogy. The event also announced that Mamoru Miyano is playing the lead role, Haruo Sakaki.

Some of the character designs(more at the link)

 

[Geno Breaker]

Automatically the second best giant monster trilogy. It's a decent time to be a giant monster fan. Three anime movies, Shin Godzilla, the MonsterVerse, and Pacific Rim keeping the genre alive and kicking. That hiatus between 2004-2014 was awful, and damn it's nice to see some movies being made, even if I'm not the biggest fan of them.

 

[Heroman]

Automatically the second best giant monster trilogy..

What the first?

 

[Geno Breaker]

What the first?

The Gamera trilogy from the 90's. Those were dope and blew the contemporary Godzilla movies out of the water.

What are the other two and can I watch them right now?

Edit: Oh, this Godzilla anime is a trilogy. Never mind then.

90's Gamera was pretty great.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

I'm liking the character designs so far.

It's good to see Toho finally letting people be creative with the franchise considering how notoriously strict they are.

OMG YES YUKI KAJI ISNT THE LEAD! OMG YES YUKI KAJI ISNT THE LEAD! OMG YES YUKI KAJI ISNT THE LEAD! OMG YES YUKI KAJI ISNT THE LEAD! OMG YES YUKI KAJI ISNT THE LEAD! OMG YES YUKI KAJI ISNT THE LEAD! OMG YES YUKI KAJI ISNT THE LEAD! OMG YES YUKI KAJI ISNT THE LEAD! OMG YES YUKI KAJI ISNT THE LEAD!

Chance of that being inaccurate? Gotta be real, the last two in particular are random as hell.

Spoiler

___Orga___

strikes me as an unusual choice too tbh.

 

[Sunster]

amazing, they will have infinitely more creative freedom with animation as opposed to live action/CGI. All kinds of crazy shit could be included. Definitely longer fight scenes.

Daghara and Dogora never appeared in a proper Godzilla movie before

No actual finished footage but lots of behind the scenes stuff. Finally we see some monsters and a 1 second look at Godzilla.

 

[JimiNutz]

Do not like the idea of

Spoiler

two Alien races coming to earth and providing technology. Why the fuck tney gotta start introducing Aliens and shit?

 

[Amalthea]

Aren't those images of Goji just a figure of Godzilla 2000 and the key art from that film?

Not exactly a new thing for Godzilla though is it?

I'm pretty excited for this it's sounds like it's going to be pretty cool.

Is it? That was the only Godzilla art they showed which I didn't recognize, so I thought it was new.

Yeah a number of Godzilla movies feature aliens coming to Earth. Usually they're evil and use monsters to attack Earth though it sounds like they'll potentially be good or helpful in these movies.

 

[Bluth54]

Yeah the last picture is from the Godzilla 2000 Japanese poster:

Edit: I know the poster pretty well since I have a mini poster version of it I got at one of the G-Fest Godzilla conventions I went to when I was a kid that I got signed by Shinichi Wakasa, the guy who made the suit for the movie.

I'm surprised he's now being called Godzilla in Japan.

Official unveiled ahead of Anime Japan this weekend. The official title is GODZILLA -MONSTER PLANET-. It is a full scifi action movie. After Godzilla and other monsters appear on Earth and wreck humanity for half a century, everyone decides to bail the fuck out. Mankind builds a huge colony ship and escapes from Earth, only to spend 20 years wandering without finding a habitable planet. The main character is an edgy young man whose parents were killed by Godzilla when he was 4 years old. Now a grown man, he takes command of the operation to return to Earth, and makes a deadly warp jump so they can go back and kill Godzilla. Except they return to an Earth... 20,000 years in the future, completely overrun with monsters where Godzilla reigns as KING. The BATTLE to reclaim Earth begins!

The film opens in November this year.

The original character designs are by Yusuke Kozaki of Fire Emblem fame.

All CGI?

Has any cel-shaded CGI anime actually looked good?

Ah I see. Makes sense. I was wondering why they would sneak in a stop of the Godzilla design when they've been keeping it secret so far. Very cool story about the poster though.

Plenty. People quibble about Knights of Sidonia, but I think Ajin was a huge step up. Not to mention Guilty Gear is out there, so the tech totally exists to make it look nice, it's just a matter of a studio getting it into the pipeline.

Oh yeah I've seen this, it's not too shabby. Maybe they'll get there at some point.

Ehhh.

Guilty Gear is a video game, and looks really good. For a video game. Also suffers from running at a low framerate during cut-scenes (15 fps), like a lot CGI anime. Japan really needs to stop this.
