For some reason, I find the most conspicuous detail is the presence of what seem to be genuinely friendly alien races. We've had a dearth of those in the franchise, so it'd be refreshing to see a new angle.

AnimeJapan 2017 Blowout

[Mexigojira]

I totally love this, is lik we are having a buffet with Godzilla, we have legendary, toho anime and maybe a part 2 of Shin Godzilla.

[mr.negativity]

[Mexigojira]

All right, we have kaiju, FINALLY!

Now the question is, what are they?

I'm guessing they are part of Earth's future fauna.

[lhb412]

Looks cool, but man; I'd like to know what those folks are saying!

[lhb412]

It'd be nice to know the specifics of the Netflix release. Like, is it a month after the Japanese theatrical release date? Two months? Either way, we'll probably be getting the movie even sooner than we got Shin Godzilla, breaking that film's record for quickest journey to US audiences for a Japanese Godzilla film.

This is, if nothing else, new territory for the big G. I'm certainly curious.

[lhb412]

... I wonder if 'Monster Planet' is the title for the trilogy or just the first installment?

[Gargantuan Gargantua]

I watched "Blame!" and I was not terribly impressed. The animation style is not for my tastes. It is budget animation trying to pass off as high quality anime but it ends up falling short. Production I.G and Studio4C have done a much better job with the same "3D models to look like 2D drawn" style but it still doesn't beat classic style of animation. It had couple of cool shots with a laser beam that would shoot through many objects but the rest of it was clunky and surprisingly the destruction effects were nothing but poorly rendered smoke and fire.

Aside from the animation quality the movie was amazingly bad and not engaging.

I'm not keeping up with who is working on this Godzilla anime other than Polygon but if it is going to be similar I can't say I am terribly excited. I mean, I wasn't to begin with and had no desire to see a Godzilla anime but this just flat lined my enthusiasm.

Promising improved CGI quality and soon-to-be revealed visual of Godzilla!

Yeah, I can't even imagine watching the BLAME! anime after reading the comic. It's AKIRA level comics.

The movie's having a presentation at the Annecy International Animation Festival (Junes 12-17)

How Polygon Pictures is Changing the 3D Anime Industry

[lhb412]

^ I'm very interested in Polygon's efforts to set itself apart from the rest of the anime industry, where working conditions tend to resemble being put through a meat grinder until you keel over dead at your drawing board in your forties.

A new poster with our first look at Godzilla's design, it seems:

[lhb412]

Very similar (but not identical) to the Godzilla '14 look. I like the craggy fins.

I can dig it.

[Benjamin Haines]

I like it too but are we sure that isn't fan art? It does look extremely similar to the 2014 design.

[lhb412]

[TerranigmaFreak]

The neck is way too short though. I thought it was too short in 2014, but this looks even shorter.

[Henry88]

at least this one looks like he can put up a fight.

[TerranigmaFreak]

I find the snout a little too short in 2014, so I like that change. My biggest gripe with the 2014 design is that the spines don't look very dramatic/dynamic, and the neck/head ratio looks off in some shots. Otherwise, I love the design.

Matt Frank does the inaugural fanart, concentrating on the Godzilla's expanding size in the last few movies:
