The release of an animated Godzilla series does not interest me, but my love of Godzilla compels me. So, I watched this and was not surprised that the impact of the King of the Monsters is not what it is in the rubber suited or CGI/live action movie versions. They did manage to portray the size and scale of Godzilla here, which I didn't think they'd be able to do. Big G is a massive, hulking mountain here. Conceptually this is interesting but the characters are flat and it's tough to differentiate most all of them from another. The emotional heft of Godzilla's presence on the Earth and the way that it keeps humankind off the planet is communicated with plenty of desperation, but I never really felt anything for them.

Gotta admit — the technical jargon in this movie was intense, especially around the middle. It got a bit complicated for me to keep up with the subtitles and fully process what they meant — they crammed so much info into just one line sometimes! 😵‍💫 Not blaming the movie though — I’m just a proud slowpoke 😂 Thankfully, I watched it on Netflix, so I could pause and rewind whenever I missed something. But if I had seen this in the cinema? Yeah… I would’ve been lost halfway. That said — superb storyline! I seriously can’t wait for the sequels. This movie is 100x better than any Godzilla film ever made, and I stand by that. 💯

So you can anime-nize a Godzilla movie... and ruin any potential fun by giving Urobutcher the screenplay. A rather bland setup for the sequels...

It is always hopeless with godzilla

The plot is nothing spectacular but it presents some interesting ideas. The real problem of the film is the animation, really flat, cold and makes the characters and action scenes flat, boring. Overall is enjoyable, but it's definitely a wasted opportunity since the story was at least quite original.
