After an impressive run in Japanese theaters grossing over 5 billion yen, the latest Godzilla movie is finally gearing up for a release in America!
Funimation will bring Shin Godzilla (also known as Godzilla:Resurgence) to a select group of 440 US theaters from October 11-18 2016. Check out the Official Funimation Site to find screenings in your area!
Toho just registered a rather curious domain name; listed as Godzilla-Anime.com. A Godzilla anime could be in the works, but there’s not a whole lot of info to go on at the moment so unfortunately we don’t know if the project will be an OVA, movie, series, or somehow tied to the Neon Genesis Evangelion cross promotion that’s been going on as of late.
Godzilla’s first anime appearance was in a crossover episode with the Crayon Shin Chan series, prior to that was the 1998 Animated series which aired on Fox Kids well over 17 years ago!
Stay tuned and we’ll be sure to bring you more up to date information as soon as it becomes avalaible.
In a surprise move we’ve just gotten word from San Diego Comic Con 2016 that Funimation has officially obtained licensing rights for a theatrical release of Shin Godzilla! For western branding purposes the film has been refereed to as Godzilla Resurgence previously.
Opening July 29th in Japan, the brainchild of Hideaki Anno (creator of the prolific Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise) Shin Godzilla sees the largest and possibly most horrific version ever of the iconic monster destroy Japan once again. This bit of licensing news is a huge win for fans who feared there may not be a release of the film in the west. Presumably this theatrical release would be a limited engagement as previous Funimation efforts for Attack on Titan & Dragonball Z films have been.
We’ll keep you updated as more information becomes available in the coming weeks!
