    And just toku in general!
    Oh speaking of which: Tsubaraya filed a patent for Ultraman Zeed so expect that to launch in the fall, with the now-standard simultaneous English subs on Crunchyroll

    This is good news because I had heard Orb hadn't done very well on crunchy roll, which is a shame because Orb is excellent.

    The son of Godzilla and Cherno Alpha is clearly the Dragonzord

    I have a podcast about Digimon called the Digital Moncast, on Audio Entropy.

    I hear they're planning a big crossover. It's gonna be a guddam bloodbath.

    Zeed's going to be the only one to make it out alive.

    Aw, I just learned the awesome looking Evangelion Robo Godzilla designed by Yoji Shinkawa is not in fact a model kit, just a pre built statue. And the colour choices are... eeeh. It looked like such a promising gunpla! :<

    Aside from the colors on the finished statue, I really like that design.

    Kong was basically everything I hoped for, I might just go see that again before it leaves theaters.

    You know that scene in Ratatouille where the food critic tastes the food and immediately flashes back to his childhood?

    That was me at the Kong post credit scene.

    Yeah it was at the very end.
    Tom Hiddleston and Brie Larson are briefed on another King after being enlisted in Monarch. Cut to cave paintings of Godzilla. Then Rodan. Then Mothra. Then King Ghidora. Then all of them beating the piss out of each other.

    As someone who complain incessantly about cinematic universes, I am more than happy to call myself an utter hypocrite in this regard.

    If Godzilla and Kong: Skull Island are indicators of quality bring me a god damn million of them.

    I'm just super glad
    It looked like the classic two legs no arms three heads look, I was afraid they'd do what a lot of the recent Toho things did and give him four legs for some reason.

    It helps that King Kong Vs Godzilla invented cinematic universes. So it feels right.

    It's one of the earliest cinematic universes, but I would argue that Universal beat Toho to the punch with Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman and House of Frankenstein.

    Also on Universal Monsters, I found out this weekend I am doing some officially sanctioned art for a gallery show of The Mummy. So I'm getting paid to draw Boris Karloff and it's rad.

    yes i asked if I could do the Brendan Fraser one. I really wanted to get paid to draw Brendan Fraser.

    Your right, though I guess there's an argument about the difference between crossovers and "cinematic universes".

    Still Toho really lent into it.

    It also crazy to think that were the Kong rights not so expensive then Godzilla would have been lost to time and Kong would be king of the monsters.

    Plot synopsis and poster for Godzilla: Monster Planet:
    godzilla-monster-planet-poster.png?auto=format&cs=tinysrgb&q=20&w=450&h=636&fit=crop&dpr=1.5
    The last summer of the 20th Century. That day, the human beings learn that they are not the only ruler of the planet Earth.

    The appearance of the giant living creatures “Kaiju’s” and the ultimate existence that destroys all monsters: Godzilla. Through the battle against kaiju’s that lasted for half a century, human beings have experienced continuous defeat, and finally plan to escape from the Earth. And in 2048, only those who were selected by the A.I. managed under the central government boarded the inter-sidereal emigrant spaceship “Aratrum” to head for “Tau Cetus e”, the planet beyond the distance of 11.9 light-year. However, the environmental condition differences between that of the Earth and Tau e, which they finally arrived after 20 years were far beyond the predicted numbers, and was not an environment considered to be habitable by human beings.

    The young man on the emigrant ship: Haruo, who saw his parents killed by Godzilla in front of his eyes when he was 4 years old, had only one thing in his mind for 20 years: to return to the Earth and defeat Godzilla. Shut out from the possibility of emigration, as the living environment in the ship deteriorates, the group of “Earth Returnists” led by Haruo became the majority, and determines to head back to Earth through a dangerous long-distance hyperspace navigation. However, the Earth they have returned has already passed the time of 20,000 years, and has become an unknown world with the ecosystem reigned by Godzilla.

    At the end, will human beings win back the Earth? And what will Haruo see beyond his fate?

    I can't help but wonder if that's a story they were pitching that was getting no traction until they put Godzilla in it.

    I mean it looks very cool and I'm looking forward to it, it's just such a weird departure.

    It actually feels like it kind of ties into the Legendary Godzilla universe, where Godzilla's whole thing is acting as a check on other monsters who get out of control by predating on them

    The concept of a Godzilla that might grow and change for 20,000 years is pretty cool

    Though low key pissed, because I was going to use that title and some semblance of that idea for a story in my comic.

    Man. MAN.

    An animated adaptation of Half Century War using Stokoe's style is now something I want so bad it hurts.

    Yeah but it's not an urobuchi work if a woman doesn't blatantly sacrifice herself for a man

    Hmm, I was gonna say we don't know the specifics of how his mother dies, but it's when he was a kid so that wouldn't quite fit anyway. Nevermind.

    Oh man. Given that Shin Godzilla had the worst audience I've ever shared a theater with,

    adding anime is not going to help is it?
