I can tell this take is going be very popular and people are going to use the quality of the new series as an excuse to dump on the trilogy and I can already feel a growing desire in myself for Singular Point to be bad and unpopular, out of spite.

Did the Trilogy have GOAT Jet Jaguar?

The magic about having so many Godzilla versions in media is that there are always ones you can like even if some of them you especially don’t like.

Just adding the music does a lot to make the series seem promising.

We'll see, though.

I actually checked after seeing the movie with Jet Jaguar in it if Jet Jaguar was in the novels, because I was curious about what they could do with it. It turns out no he wasn't even in the novels. The novels had the weird dragon from Mothra 2, and Gunhed, but not Jet Jaguar. Another point in favor of the trilogy.

yeah but one of the ones I like is just relentlessly poo poo on, imo, unfairly.

Going through the trailer a few times- the kaiju I can identify are Godzilla, Rodan, Angirus, Jet Jaguar, Manda??, Baragon, Titanosaurus

And the Mososaurus Godzilla from the 1989 book "Entertainment Bible: New Edition Godzilla Encyclopedia" - August Ragone recognized it.

Its more likely to be this version of Titanosaurus but I'm sure it's also a reference to that design

Apparently some people think the kaiju I picked off as Baragon could be Gabara, which I guess I could see

We must hope that our current selves will one day step aside to make room for better versions of us.

Hmm. Looks as though JJ is a large cardboard cutout with a hole in it.

Cute.

I like that this version of jet jaguar looks like either a beta version of Mecha Godzilla or like it's based on that design.

It went as low as $125 according to camelcamelcamel. Either way, $100 per set is too steep for me.

Making Exposition the Trilogy was the worst idea for Godzilla cartoons and it deserves to be ridiculed.

That looks like Gabara to me, which can only mean Minilla is the big bad to get back at the world for bullying.

It's important to keep in mind that Amazon routinely lowers prices in pre-orders as they get closer to launch. For example, most Arrow Video pre-orders start at around 40 and end up 27 on release.

I just showed the trailer for Godzilla Singular Awkwardly Named Anime to my 10 year old. I asked him if he was excited about Jet Jaguar and he replied that he hoped JJ dies in five minutes like the original form Mechagodzilla in the anime trilogy. He summed up his feelings thusly: "Please die JJ."

Good to know. I locked in my preorders. If nothing else they'll be a fun birthday present to myself as they're releasing the day after my birthday.

If it makes you feel better, considering how hard they're going on his design, I don't think he's going to be more than a joke.

It really does remind me of the Robotics;Notes robot. If it's the same kind of deal, an obviously lovely robot that people pour their heart and soul into anyway, then that's maybe the only thing that could actually make me like Jet Jaguar.
