I love Jack B's avatar!

One thing I saw on the site now and over the past few weeks: they're actually doing a "roadshow" with that injured Toto Gamera on a truck, and carting him all over Japan!

I'd say that I haven't been this excited for a kaiju film since Final Wars...but there hasn't really been any kaiju films since Final Wars...
But I'm excited nonetheless!

Who sings the theme? It sounds very Do As Infinity-ish, but I'm sure it's not them, since they broke up last year...

EDIT: Though, Tomiko Van *is* said to be going solo...

I believe the singer is , the song is "Eternal Love" from the upcoming single , and the single will be released on 4/19. .

I thought it was only mediocre. The only interesting part was Gamera's flying scene and the fire ball. I don't think it really had a cool factor going for it. Don't asume I'm biased because it's not Godzilla, becaue I've loved tailers for other Japanese movies. To quote my friend, "[It] looks like a real life cartoon, [about a] magic turtle that changes a kid's life."

Ya I see your point Jorzilla. Unfortunately the direction of this movie is the only way the genre may stay alive. Family movies dominate the Japanese box office, and if families realize this movie is coming out, maybe this will too.

Watched the trailer, and my opinion is still as it's been since I first read the Sci-Fi Japan article. It looks like it'll be a fun family movie and enjoyable to watch, but nothing great by any means.

The special effects certainly look fantastic, minus the CGI Zedus tongue attack. But hopefully that will get touched-up and polished in the final cut of the movie. I remember many SFX shots from early Godzilla: Final Wars promotional videos, trailers, and TV spots that looked less-than-impressive but which ended up being fine-tuned and looking quite good indeed in the finished film (Zilla, anyone?).

Seeing Zedus in motion, he looks even more badass than in still shots. The special effects used to bring him to life are incredible, and his fighting style is very impressive. He's looking to turn out as one very memorable kaiju.

I'm not exactly surprised that Toto doesn't make the classic Gamera cries in that trailer, seeing as he is only a juvenile after all. It'd be like hearing Minilla emit Godzilla's roar regularly. But hopefully, if this movie gets a sequel and/or launches a new series of Gamera movies in which Toto eventually grows to an adult Gamera, the classic roar will return.

And Toto's spinning jet flames are indeed classic blue. :wink:

You know what looks nice about this movie, no freaking night time battles! Looks like its all Day!

Cool trailer. Hope Gamera can dish it out a little harder than the trailer shows lol.

by **Gothic_Blue** » Mon Mar 20, 2006 4:33 pm

I can't wait to see this movie now. I hope it comes to the states in some form soon.
