As did I.

I have to say I'm a bit disappointed that the credits weren't translated. Movie itself still owns and the "Godzilla vs. the Nerds" feature was okay.

I'm morbidly curious about the English dub but haven't checked it out yet.

I'm also noticing that the Japanese chyrons have been removed and just having the English subtitles on the top of the screen.

Now that I've looked up what the word "chyron" means yeah, I'm pretty sure that was different from what I saw in the theatrical release.

I caught that that this time and was very amused. It's amazing how much better this movie was this time now that I didn't have some douchebag rocking his office chair left and right obscuring my view of the subtitles.

No, it's there. I was just noticing it now that I wasn't as focused on the dialogue. I love when Rando's position got like five lines long near the end.

Wasn't the second Anno Godzilla debunked due to it being taken out of translation context?

I did check and Higuchi said that they couldn't even think about a sequel until after 2020, presumably because Toho will be focusing on the Planet of the Monsters trilogy over the next three years.

Goddamn. So presumably 5 years before Shin Godzilla 2 is in theatres. 6 years before it gets a limited US run. 7 years until the Blu-ray is out.

At least we'll have at least two American Godzilla features in that time.

I hope the sequel starts with Godzilla still in the middle of the city a decade later, but now inexplicably crucified.

I bought and watched Shin Godzilla last night and it's one of the most batshit crazy movies I've ever seen from a film making point of view. Like, all those scenes of people like, doing science that are shot and edited and scored like a Michael Bay action scene, and the sound design in general, just...loving insane. I loved it.

Anno has a very fun and intriguing style and I sincerely hope he does more live action stuff after he finally kills evangelion.

I did a rewatch of Godzilla's Revenge today. I don't think it gets the respect it deserves. It's pretty astonishing that the movie was completed in the first place, it's such a ridiculously barebones production. I think any director but Honda would've just said gently caress it. You can really see his background in documentary filmmaking with those early shots of Kawasaki.

All the really kid-friendly Godzilla movies are really great, at least to me. They have a really odd kind of surrealism that I really dig.

watched the bluray last night, just as great as I remember---although the soundtrack was much louder and prominent in the theater. girlfriend immediately paused and rewound the movie at the credits just to see that final shot, I loving love how freaky it is.
