The original big bad kaiju has just returned to theaters after a 10 year hiatus. Legendary’s Godzilla is on screens world wide and he’s absolutely destroying them. If you haven’t seen the film yet, we HIGHLY recommend that you do. And to celebrate the film’s release TokuNation.com is proud to present this companion piece to it. A full summary & review of the Godzilla Awakening Graphic Novel prequel!
Godzilla Awakening follows the exploits of the elder Dr. Serizawa (Ichiro’s father) from 1945-1954 as a member of the elite Monarch Unit. A group tasked with finding and exterminating the MUTO creatures. Though what the good doctor would theorize, and this unit would later discover, would be something far greater. A living legend, a monstrous myth, the king of all monsters, Godzilla! This book set out to expand the historical universe of the 2014 Godzilla film and it has succeeded wonderfully. If you want more insight into just what drives Ken Watanabe’s character, Dr. Ichiro Serazawa in the film, then this story about his father, is a must read.
By clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” you’ll be taken directly to a lengthy and spoiler heavy review and summary of Godzilla Awakening. Again, this book contains MASSIVE spoilers for the film as does our review. Read on at your own risk.

It’s here. The American remake/reboot of the Japanese classic monster movie, Godzilla, the King of the Monsters, has been released in the United States. Receiving positive reviews from across the country (currently sitting at a 73% at movie site Rotten Tomatoes) anyone from casual to hardcore in terms of their interest in Godzilla needs to go see this movie. Starring Bryan Cranston and Ken Watanabe, along with many others, movie fans believe that Godzilla officially ushers in the start of “summer movie blockbusters”, with X-Men: Days of Future Past, Transformers: Age of Extinction, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles seemingly right on its heels (and many others too!).
We have a dedicated thread for you to discuss the movie, spoilers and all. Click here to join the movie discussion thread already in progress. The gang from our Talkin Toku Podcast are also planning an episode solely dedicated to discussing the movie in the near future, so stay tuned for that.

Tokunation has pulled back into the station with Ressha Sentai ToQger. And we’re back with a new gallery of DX Diesel Ressha!
Diesel Ressha, or as Right/ToQ 1 would call him “Grandpa”, is pretty unique in this line. Instead of being the typical “2-car” Ressha like the previous ones Diesel comes in 5 pieces. So this guy is crazy big when compared to the other Resshas. His addition to the line allows you to take the already released Tank & Car Carrier Resshas and create Diesel Oh! This blocky awesome robo is a welcome shelf mate to go with your ToQ Oh. And if you’d prefer to display them combined, you can! As Cho ToQ Oh!
