As much as I want to see Ghidorah, Mothra, and Rodan, I'd be ok if we got Godzilla fighting a giant Kiwi.

It could still all fall apart at the end, if that tail ever twitches. They're in a delicate state.

I like that. And it still works as a nuclear power metaphor. Godzilla is still there to stay, they can't get rid of him, and if it breaks down, everything will go to poo poo.

And there's a good chance Funi will record a dub for it, which I'll be curious to see, as Funi uses real voice actors and not whatever English speakers Toho could get off the streets of Japan.

A drat shame, really.

The plot on this one is a doozy. It's about humanity having fled the Earth in ark ships after losing a 50 year war against Kaiju, now returning to try and retake a world that's been ruled by Godzilla for 20,000 years.

The humans should leave Godzilla alone. He deserves this planet.

Amazon finally seems to have Shin Godzilla up for preorder.

So, I told my son (a fellow Gojiraphile) about the upcoming anime, and what little I knew about the story, and his reaction was "so...it's going to be like Kaiju Busters only with Godzilla?" I thought for a few minutes, and realized he's right on the money. I have no problems with this comparison.

I have a bookshelf full of DS games and I never knew this existed. Gonna have to track down a copy now!

I like Tokyo SOS for all it's spirituality. I don't normally say that about films, so I don't know why I thought it was great in a movie featuring a giant robot and moth fighting a giant lizard monster.

does anyone know if the blu-ray/dvd release coming out on Amazon tomorrow has original japanese with english subs on it? not sure if it comes with that option.

Dunno. I'll be checking it out. I'll probably end up watching it a couple times this week. My dad wants to see it so I'll end up bringing it over and he'll probably wanna watch it dubbed. I don't normally like dubs in live action movies, but I'm curious how they'll handle the bilingual speaking parts.

The joke of characters' titles and positions becoming longer and stupider as the movie goes on is very underrated.

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.

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.

Is there anyone in the movie who actually verbalizes that theory though? I mean I get that he's evolving to meet the challenges of the environment he finds himself in, but that he would specifically evolve into the thing that's defeating him is more of an interpretation than something I remember being actually spelled out. Did I just miss a line of dialogue or something?

Not quite, but he was being attacked by helicopters and jets, and they did mention Godzilla could potentially sprout wings and fly to another continent.

Though Godzilla used lasers to defeat the helicopters and jets so I'm probably connecting dots that aren't there.

Now that it's out, how did they end up dubbing American Girl? They just leave her dialog intact for all the hilarity that would entail or did they drop that part of Her character?

They basically just dropped that part of her character. All her lines are dubbed over, even the parts where she spoke English. Which kinda makes it weirder when she says those lines.

The scene immediately before the line about "nuclear wisdom" has the japanese scientists saying that Godzilla was already getting smaller in order to propagate

I'm wondering how much they micromanaged G 14's look. As I understand, they always demand Godzilla to have his forearms perpendicular, but G '14 breaks the mold there and is allowed to let them hang loose.
