Smoking Crow posted:Here's a list of every movie's availability Since the OP didn't make it clear, you see all the Eiji Tsuburaya in the SFX director column for the first run? That is the Eiji Tsuburaya who created Ultraman. The original series was an attempt to basically give a half hour Godzilla movie every week, right down to the budget. There's some poo poo going on in that 1966 show that competitors weren't pulling off as convincingly until this century, with heavy computer use. Also, Eiji Tsuburaya is actually a member of the Christian minority in Japan, so the parallels are super intentional. Anyway, let's get some streaming links up in this poo poo, because a surprising amount is available now, largely from Shout Factory for free: Ultra Q (no Ultras, just humans trying to deal with kaiju) Ultraman (Hulu, may require subscription) Ultraseven Ultraman X The currently running series, simulsubbed on Crunchyroll. And of course for more of what the thread was actually about originally: a mixture of Showa era Toho films, most of which have been on Netflix forever, but including the uncut original Gojira. Please watch the original 1954 unedited version if you haven't. It's actually fantastic. Also Crunchyroll has Godzilla vs Megalon and Destroy All Monsters in both dub and subbed forms.

I have fond memories of watching the first few dubbed Ultraman eps with my mom and dad on vhs. That's the limit of my experience with kaiju stuff that isn't made in America though.

Ultraman is very good and I recommend it very highly. I am currently watching Mebius from 2006 which is fun and positive and has a lot of cameos from old Ultramen. It's fun! Godzilla still holds my heart as the best kaiju ever though. Godzilla vs. Gigan is excellent, as is Destroy All Monsters. I'm currently working my way though as many as I can find. Next up on my list is Godzilla vs. Hedorah and I'm really looking forward to the Heisei era stuff I haven't already seen.

Oh yes, how silly of me. Linked the new show and the two Godzilla movies Crunchyroll has, but not the two Showa and two older Heisei series: Ultraman Leo Ultraman 80 Ultraman Max Ultraman Möbius All the episodes of all of these are available for free by now even. There's nary an end to the giant monsters in rubber suits you have available to you now!

I found Cinemassacre's GodzillaThon to be pretty interesting as an overall introduction, having basically no knowledge of the franchise originally outside of the 1954 original and I think Godzilla vs. Mothra.

I may be in the minority here but nice guy Godzilla is kinda bullshit. The turn was in one of the ones with mothra I think, where he became a savior of man and friendly...he should be a rampaging terror!

There are much worse things in those movies than good guy Godzilla I'd rather have a Gamera style romp with children than any scene with Minya

I keep showing the unaltered Gojira to people just because I love the reaction of "oh, god, this is bleak." It's a great watch anyway, and a lot of people haven't seen it in that form. I really want a release of Godzilla 1984/5 that isn't the dub release, but I guess I'll have to wait. And oh my goodness I want to know who's writing the score to the Anno Godzilla film. Shiro Sagisu? Ko Otani again? guhhh.

Smoking Crow posted:Weren't the monkey guys retconned into being from near the black hole where Space Godzilla was born No. The apes were always called "3rd planet black hole aliens" or something equally stupid. The black hole in Godzilla vs Space Godzilla is unrelated. In fact the Heisei films all ignore every Showa film except for the original. By the way what was everyone first introduction to kaiju films? My first was Godzilla vs Monster Zero.

When I was between 6-9 years old, our local Wegmans still had a video rental corner. My brother and I always wanted horror movies, and Showa-era Godzilla films were tame enough that we could get our parents to rent them. I don't remember which one I saw first -- could've been Invasion of Astro-Monster, or vs. Megalon, or possibly even vs. Mechagodzilla.

My first was a VHS of Godzilla 2000. Embarrassing fact:Little kid me was put off of Kaiju movies thanks to a certain Roland Emmerich shitfest,so when my grandma got me,in my words (she never forgets) "Another boring stupid Godzilla movie",I was initially less than thrilled. Then she sat me down,and we watched it together. I went from  to  over the course of the film. And during the fight with Orga,my reaction the whole time was  Keep in mind,this was my first proper Kaiju movie,so I know more impressive stuff has come out (Godzilla VS Space Godzilla,for instance),but I still think of Grandma whenever I watch that movie.

My dad showed me Godzilla King of the Monsters first, and then I consumed as much Godzilla as I possibly could. Those old AMC horror movie marathons were a godsend to me.

When I was about 9 or 10 Channel 4 in the UK started a run of 'monster movies' beginning with with Destroy All Monsters, having been introduced to US 50's and 60's SF B-movies maybe a year earlier I assumed they were the same thing and diligently watched them all in their rubber-suited ridiculousness.

It's made by the My Summer Vacation guy and it's on the e-shop Seconding this. It's a great little adventure game. If you're interested in the guy that made it check out the special summer issue of Ray Barnholt's SCROLL from two years ago. He did a Kickstarter to actually fly to Japan and interview the guy. This thread is great. I love me some Godzilla and kaiju. I host a live pop culture panel comedy show in Philadelphia and we did an episode on Godzilla last year. I watched like 15-20 movies to prepare for it. To open the show my co-host and I came out on stage dressed as Mothra and Godzilla and smashed a bunch of cardboard buildings to that rap song that uses the Godzilla theme.

I... kind of suspect that somewhere, the composition work on the Gamera trilogy's effects shots (being Higuchi's effects work) influenced the Godzilla flick a lot, so that it would appeal to him doesn't surprise me. It's the people stuff that, well, if that doesn't work out, oh well, but I don't know what Anno has up his sleeve on that end. He's nuts, but sometimes a fun kind of nuts.
