this show has the best cast of characters in any godzilla media i have seen. the story is extremely well thought out, and the animation is not the best thing ever, but still really good. BUT -

- this is not your typical fun action big monsters go brrrrrr kind of show. it does have those big, cool, monster vs humans action scenes, but it is also a hardcore si-fi. this show spends more time on the science side of things than fricking steins;gate. it is NOT an easy watch. it takes a lot of brain power to understand the science of it. it is explained very simply, but it's a ton of information coming very fast, and it can be really hard to keep up with.

i see a lot o people being disappointed because of this. it's not bad, but you have to watch it with the right mindset. if what i said is not your cup of tea, don't watch it.

the previous Godzilla anime movie trilogy written by Urobutcher is so dialogue heavy too and less monster action but its dialogues are more on philosophy rather than this one that as you said is Hard Science Fiction stuff

but personally i prefer this new Godzilla anime more than Urobutchers version

The fact that we didn't feel or even see the horror and the dangers coming from these monsters ( or dinosaurs idfk ) is enough for me to drope it

in what way it's bad? just because it's not what you expected doesn't mean it's bad, the theories are well thought out, the characters are interesting, and the animation is good.

that's fair, but it's not even trying to be horror-ish. it's mostly a mystery, si-fi, and when it isn't, it's a mecha, action.

well, i'm saying it's good. it does what it wants to do well, it's just that what it wants to do, is not to your liking.

i love these si-fi, theory stuff, so i really liked it myself. it's not bad.

It's way too focused on the sci-fi/mystery aspect. Too focused on something that's been really boring to watch. I don't need monsters fighting every episode for me to enjoy it. For example, I actually liked Godzilla 2014 and Cloverfield a lot despite the monsters barely getting screen time in those films. The issue here is that human element isn't good enough to carry the show. Watching Mei running around with her scientist friend talking all sorts of gibberish isn't compelling after 8 episodes. It's dull.

I don't think it's a bad show... It's just disappointing in terms of story.

well i argue that this has some of the most interesting human characters i have seen in these kinds of stories. and the science isn't gibberish, that's why it takes so long to explain. i admit it is hard to keep up with, but the theories are extremely well thought out if you use enough brain power to understand them.

but i get it. the sciency stuff are a LOT. and most people will find them boring. which was the reason i made this post.

but if you're like me, and like those science theory stuff, they are really good. it's just that most people aren't, which again, is the reason i made this post.

I'm backing you up here..

I found my self really invested in this. This is really up to my alley, because i'm expecting a sci-fi series about a monster with an anime-ish take, and it deliver

I understand that people get into this expecting it to be scary or heavy tone, but aren't you on the wrong media? I mean this is an anime take of Godzilla. The scary picture of this monster are already been overused on the dozen of live-action movie and series, so aren't this a breath of fresh air? I mean even the Godzilla 2014 that had a heavy tone or the 3 previously anime movie didn't get that high scored either right?

So this Godzila shows here, it's feel like a monster situation that been handled right. The science stuff here, not being serve as a brief of exposition just to make the movie seems believable so they can move into the big action more freely like in Hollywood take. No! this is a monster, an unkown creature, surely they have a big mistery surround them, surely they containt an unknown component that can be harmed to human, surely they have a physic that we don't understand yet. So it's kinda ignorance if the factual viewing of the situation being scraped just an exposition like in many adaptation before. So we really need the more focus on the research and discovery side of it, and this show somehow make it fun to follow with Mei and her doggy A.I (something that Big budget movie had always neglecting, because it doesn't sell)

But they don't completely get rid the action element of it, as Gintoki-look alike character and the Jet jaguar served for that. And once again, this is an anime take, so it is supposed to be whacky and rediculous. And that part actualy really fun to watch

So at the end, this is a solid package for a sci-fi nerd, and a fresh great take for the hardcore Kaiju fans

dude, i just looked at your profile out of curiosity, and since you liked the science side of this, you have to watch steins gate.

Ppls complain cause it isn't the usual Godzilla.

So instead of that mindset, just think of this series in as Godzilla x Pacific Rim, where Kaijus are from another world (aka Archtype).

And then put the Kaijuverse monster names on the monsters in this series.

After that, add in Science Theories trying to solve where they came from.

I'm still trying, but to be honest i kinda stuck on the first 10 episodes lol. Sorry i forgot to added that on my list, but since i've been watching a lot of shows this winter and spring, it kinda hard for me to find a free time to be devoted to something else.
(Especially something that needed me to thinking hard out of it)

I really wanna to get into that, but i keep being distracted by typical "Fun" anime that basicaly shown how scared i am about SG, lol

But i will complete it someday (in close period)

I actually just picked this out of the seasonals to watch because I was in the mood for a trashy/nostalgic experience to take my mind off things, but after watching it for 5 minutes I thought there might be something interesting going on...

The director's resume is honestly really solid. Almost every anime he's worked on is something I have a great deal of respect for. I've never heard of Rideback, one of his 2-3 other series director credits, but it sounds nuts and I'm sort of intrigued. I could see this anime being for Godzilla something in the vein of what Crowds was for Gatchaman. Though Crowds is pretty fucking incredible, so that'll be tough. Still, I'm more excited about this series than I thought I might be.

Also I had no idea there were Godzilla films written by Urobuchi, I might have to give those a whirl as well.

It's a show about a monster invasion that tries way too hard to present itself as "smart", and as a result becomes very tedious and pretentious.

it takes brain power because there is a ton of information to consume and the dialogue is very fast, not because you have to be smart to get it. the theories' explanations are actually fairly simple.

this anime is literally 2deep for a lot of people, they downvote is because they literally can't understand what the characters are talking about, lmao

and then I guess there are also people who drop it because it has CGI, because you know, all CGI is bad, amirite?
But actually, monsters being semi 3D in a 2D anime makes sense here, cause they are literally something from higher dimension in the story.

I really don't think the anime is "trying hard to be smart," it's just trying to apply ideas to explain the shit that's happening that have to do more with weird phenomena and theories in contemporary physical science than something like "Godzilla is a mutant born from radiation : )" which was relevant when Godzilla was first conceived and to Japan's political/economic situation at the time, but has now been done a million times. I think if you are interested in the science, it will appeal to you, and the show is trying to appeal to the people who are interested in the science. Is that "trying to be smart?" I don't get why that's a fucking insult or criticism in the first place, it's so stupid to say. Have you ever heard of Jeremy England's thermodynamics based theory of abiogenesis? Have you heard of the recent theory that the Universe is "teaching itself" by testing out different laws of physics in different pockets of the Universe over time? I have a casual, armchair interest in reading about shit like this. It's not because I'm "trying to be smart," either, I just find it interesting to speculate and think about what it means for me as a life in the universe. I think this series has done well to incorporate these type of relevant ideas into its sci fi plot and lore. Why do people want every show to be DUMB AND PROUD? NO TRY TO BE DEEP, OR SMORT. SO PRETENTIOUS. Isn't sci fi supposed to "try to be smart" XD???

also I think the story is actually good, and the characters are solid. I don't find the science overbearing or disruptive of those elements at all, but that's just me.

give this man an award!

still though, i made this post to warn people who aren't interested in the science, and there are still some people coming to this very post, saying the science parts suck.

I can see why people would hate this anime (not many people like to hear all the science stuff and just wanted to see giant monsters fight). Tbh, when this anime came out, I was expecting another 《Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters》, which I personally disliked because of the characters. Compared to that anime, Godzilla SP is better in terms of plot and characters. I am personally enjoying the science in this, so if anyone who is planning to watch the series reads my post, just watch this anime with the right mindset. CG ain't the best, but I have seen worse.

I love that I have a watch that might ask me to break out the pen and paper to keep track. I like having to work at understanding where they're going from time to time; I think there'd be no point to emphasizing the intelligence and specialties of the characters if the lines and 'science' on display read like a second grade textbook. It's not awfully complex when you get right down to it, of course, and it is 'science' (though, much of it is grounded in a sense), but I think it's super engaging to have a story that falls under "just plausible enough".

It also helps that some of the visuals on display are some of the best I've seen out of anime. Some of the wides from Orange are nutty. It's definitely their best work. And having Bones on the side doesn't hurt, either. Music is great, characters are great. It's definitely a new favorite.

I love the sci-fi stuffs but mostly it's just boring and kaiju's are badly animated, action is what always make people keep watching and they hype for the next one but fight's in here are just meh, it's not bad though it's just not for me and I'll be honest the cast was amazing

this show has the best cast of characters in any godzilla media i have seen. the story is extremely well thought out, and the animation is not the best thing ever, but still really good. BUT -

- this is not your typical fun action big monsters go brrrrrr kind of show. it does have those big, cool, monster vs humans action scenes, but it is also a hardcore si-fi. this show spends more time on the science side of things than fricking steins;gate. it is NOT an easy watch. it takes a lot of brain power to understand the science of it. it is explained very simply, but it's a ton of information coming very fast, and it can be really hard to keep up with.

i see a lot o people being disappointed because of this. it's not bad, but you have to watch it with the right mindset. if what i said is not your cup of tea, don't watch it.



wait, let me find that rick and morty pasta, ok, found it, here we go: To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick and Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existencial catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Rick and Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.


i never said people are idiots and they don't get it, i'm just saying its hard to get and many people will dislike its science stuff. so not many people are even interested in understanding it.

it is a SI FI heavy show after all.

Well, personally i found the tittle to be kinda boring and it's not due to scientific babbling. It's due to lack of Godzilla. 6 episodes in and all we got was some robot fighting couple dinos. Also it was very disappointing that literally no single person died, only some dinos did. That's not what i expected from Godzilla tittle.

Btw. i found it funny how the long dead species suddenly appear on earth again and the very first thing humans do is try too kill it, pretty hillarious if you ask me xD


i personally like the fact that godzilla is like the final boss. and since you've dropped it i should tell you that you have seen godzzila, you just don't know it. that giant see monster is godzzila. you know how the show explains how the monsters are evolving extremely fast. the see monster is actually the first form of godzzila. it finishes evolving by episode 1- if i'm not mistaken.

but yeah more death would have been nice. the only death until the point i have seen wasn't even on screen.

ah, I haven't watched it yet. However my brother is a huge Godzilla fan and I'm a suck for character driven stories. He knows I use MAL and was asking me its rating, noticed it was a little low in the ratings.

Gave it 9. Yes, the science explanations are thrown at your face really fast, but usually I got the common idea what it was about.

What I really loved in this anime, is the atmosphere, which is really colorful and warm, a bit of mysterious, even though the show is about Godzilla. Also, the characters are freakin awesome and interesting, well designed. Some characters even seemed familiar to my IRL friends (some traits, looks and etc.)

Quality of animation is also great, especially the landscape scenes, and COLORS (watching on big high quality TV with ambilight, is just amazing).

Everything felt right, high production quality, need second season. One of the best series of the season.

"Likely good" is daft assertion. We can see it isn't, chance comes into the reason why it sucks, not whether or not it does.

As it remains you are 100% incorrect.
Why do you think it sucks the story is great and well written the sci-fi is well done so is the battles.

If your argument was for a godzilla anime there wasn't enough godzilla then that's a shitty argument as godzilla is meant to be the ENDGAME of it all.

So give reasons objectively singular point is Great not special but objectively in Art , Story and sound design it is above average.

So why do you think it's bad?

This is a completely abject declaration. You've not made any sort of supporting argument as to the positive qualities of the work, so even at an absolute baseline I'd have as much authority towards judging the show as you do, if not more.

Why do you think it sucks the story is great and well written the sci-fi is well done so is the battles.


And you get this impression why? Is this evident from the literary techniques at play, is this based in directorial theory? What even determines "well done" sci-fi, since that in itself is a capricious genre?

Plainly saying "the story is great" doesn't make it so.

If your argument was for a godzilla anime there wasn't enough godzilla then that's a shitty argument as godzilla is meant to be the ENDGAME of it all.


I never said anything close to that.

So give reasons objectively singular point is Great not special but objectively in Art , Story and sound design it is above average.


That's not at all what objectivity is, nor, again, does you merely saying that "X is good" promote that it is.

So why do you think it's bad?


A variety of reasons, of course. Mainly I'd point to the cast's lack of agency and the inability for the story to manage nigh any form of subtext, but the inconsistent, unfocused designs were also a huge issue. Not to mention of course the abhorrently delivered exposition that comprised most of the actual work, and how as a result of that every narrative development came off as artificial. It's pretty much an overwrought idiot plot on an inexpertly created stage, so to speak.

I mean i gave good reasons you can't objectively say the story and art is subpar.


The writer knows science he has a few phd's and the script explains some real science well whilst combining it with psuedoscience.

There are next to no plot holes and the quality is high.

So again......saying it isn't is stupid

also no you didn't but i felt with how bad your arguments for it being bad were it might be in that area


"I really don't recall getting anything at all weaker throughout the Heisei to Reiwa phases of the series." I mean the movies from that era were a lot worse objectively you can see many critics review them indepth and why they were objectively bad.

I and other still enjoyed them of course but to say this is bad in comparison is ignoring reality.

Also objectivity is the lack of bias and accurate review and well it is objectively decent.

For writing as i said lack of plot holes and high quality of story telling
The art design is fluid.
The sound design is high quality.


Your assertation that the show sucks lacks any merit and speaks poorly of yourself whether you like or dislike this anime ignoring the objectivity of the matter is in poor form.

I personally thing this is a 10/10 but that's with bias objectively it's a tad bit over average.

You didn't give "good reasons." You merely listed the various aspects of the show, and spuriously announced them to all be good with no elaboration.

I can, of course, state that it is subpar, since I've made some effort to prove such a standpoint. Additionally, your reliance on using "Objectivity" as a crutch is moot, since it's been established you're not aware of the term's meaning.


The writer knows science he has a few phd's and the script explains some real science well whilst combining it with psuedoscience.


I never said he didn't, and I never said the show doesn't.

There are next to no plot holes and the quality is high.


Plot holes and bad writing are not mutually exclusive. For that matter, there are in fact a couple of plot holes at any rate. Off the top of my head, what precluded the use of the cast's future-calculating computer until the plot required them to, for instance?

And of course, saying "the quality is high" is basically nonsense. Quality is a summative feature, not an element in itself.

So again......saying it isn't is stupid


You still haven't explained why it's good, and the supposed reasons for my view being "stupid" have already been shown to be null.

also no you didn't but i felt with how bad your arguments for it being bad were it might be in that area


I hadn't yet made an argument, so you'd have had no way of knowing if they were "bad."

"I really don't recall getting anything at all weaker throughout the Heisei to Reiwa phases of the series." I mean the movies from that era were a lot worse objectively you can see many critics review them indepth and why they were objectively bad.


You appear to think that just saying the word objective makes you automatically correct, without having to justify it. It should go without saying, it does not.

Like with your defence of Singular Point, until you elaborate on this judgement, it's an insubstantial viewpoint.

I and other still enjoyed them of course but to say this is bad in comparison is ignoring reality.


Again, why? What leads you to this conclusion? What does Shin Godzilla do worse? What about Godzilla Vs Hedorah?

You're just declaring an arbitrary decree as "reality," without any actual support for the matter.

Also objectivity is the lack of bias and accurate review and well it is objectively decent.


That is not what objectivity means. Objectivity means to be removed from personal emotion, opinion or interpretation.

For writing as i said lack of plot holes and high quality of story telling
The art design is fluid.
The sound design is high quality.


All of these again are just blanket statements of "X is good," without discussing why.

Also, art design cannot be "fluid," you're thinking of animation. Between this and your misuse of objectivity above, I'm beginning to think you don't quite know what you're talking about.

Your assertation that the show sucks lacks any merit and speaks poorly of yourself whether you like or dislike this anime ignoring the objectivity of the matter is in poor form.


So because I can find faults in a piece of media you like, I am a bad person entirely? As if your viewpoint is some sort of divine guidepost to what we all should think? Do you not see how arrogant such a thought is?

And again, you're just announcing objectivity, without knowing what it means nor actually identifying any "objectively good" techniques present in the show.

I personally thing this is a 10/10 but that's with bias objectively it's a tad bit over average.
To say it's not is just stupid


Once more, why should disagreeing with you be "stupid," and why is it "objectively" over average? What led you to that conclusion, did you decide so out of thin air? Did you not consider what each element did, and whether that was a good or bad choice for the work?

Just elaborate on what you actually think of the show, instead of just shouting objectivity and thinking it's a job well done.
Well I for one already loved Lain.

Yeah they just want to say it’s bad with shit reasoning as to why I’m giving up others don’t even try thigh is stubborn and ignoring actual quality.

I elaborated and they moved the goal posts more.
Unless thigh can give actual reasons as to why it’s bad and their past reasons were poor then their arguments against me are valid against them ironic

Between them saying I don’t know what I’m talking about when they don’t either is just irony at it’s finest.

Clearly I meant the animation lmao.

The anime is great in the end whether thigh agrees or not if people are reading just give it a watch don’t let their bad assessment cloud your judgement
