New Godzilla Anime Project Revealed- Gentaro Urobuchi To Direct!

under Godzilla

Toei has opened an official website announcing a new GODZILLA anime project!

This new feature will be written by Gentaro Urobuchi, who most fans will probably recognize as the mind behind Kamen Rider Gaim! The animation will be handled by Polygon Pictures, the studio responsible for Knights of Sidonia and Transformers Prime. Sadly, no major story details have been revealed at this time.

Currently, the Godzilla anime is scheduled for a release in 2017! Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details.

    Ehhhhh.

    I have no strong feelings about this one way or the other. Although my mind immediately went to merchandise, with my first thought being: "Oh great, this means yet another Godzilla monsterart."

    I don't know how to feel about a Godzilla anime.

    Gen Urobuchi? I don't think Godzilla will be that important

    I guess it won't long until Bandai creates this to promote the anime :P!

    Gaim DID love wasting episodes on promotional episodes after all!

    Godzilla is a major pop culture iconic. Just in Japan, but across the whole world. Of course Godzilla will be that important. Shin Godzilla is making big money in Japan, so Toho wants to keep the hype train going. We also have Legendary Pictures doing their own Godzilla franchise too.

    But what can Gen Urobuchi do for Godzilla?
    The series will naturally focus on the humans, but I think with how he likes to write, Godzilla will be more of a set piece I feel.

    ^Everyone dies expect for Godzilla :P. I hope we get another giant monster. I would love to see what they can come up with.

    Raw-like-a-rare-steak violence and a compelling story I guess.
