Getting really pumped for what looks like a something that takes the franchise in a totally new direction. Can't wait to see Godzilla himself.

That Twitter status seems to indicate that there will be an announcement regarding this project on March 26 during the last day of the convention.

I'm getting antsy for it.

Heh, not even a week into the theatrical run of a fantastic new King Kong movie and I'm already antsy for my next fix. We're spoiled rotten!

Well, I see that Sentai Filmworks is releasing Ajin, a Polygon/Netflix anime, on DVD and Blu-Ray just like they've done for Knights of Sidonia.

I'm pretty confident that they'll be the home video distributors.

Looks too Futuristic or Spacey for my tastes. They should have went retro for the Anime. So much potential for a Showa Era type Godzilla Anime. Oh Well. If Godzilla is on and is from another planet in this , forget it.

I'm really hipped of what we will see next week!

Possible title?

"Godzilla - Kaiju Planet"

Other folks, like August Ragone, are translating it as 'Monster Planet.' Could this be a future where the monsters made the Earth uninhabitable?

So, they are making an anime film of

Posting stuff from my phone is weird but a plot synopsis has come out. Essentially: kaiju appeared at the end of the 20th century, then Godzilla showed up and killed everything. Humanity left Earth but when they arrived at their new planet, it wasn't suitable so they're returning to Earth to try to kill Godzilla.

SUPER sci-fi. I'm good with that. Now just gimme a Godzilla design and I can go into media blackout on this one.

[lhb412]

I think, after Godzilla '14 and Shin Godzilla, we were all expecting a summer release date, instead of Toho shifting to the sereis' classic late autumn, early winter release date. That means we'll be getting this later than we expected, I reckon it'd be probably early 2018 when we'll get the worldwide Netflix release... but the ANN article says Netflix will be getting it this year. I guess we'll wait and see. That's somewhat disappointing. It does, however, make it understandable while they're still hiding Godzilla's design: there's still many months to reveal it.

I'm digging the plot synopsis, it's a direction we've never seen before and I think will work great as Godzilla's first anime film. Now Godzilla's design is what I'm REALLY curious to see!

[lhb412]

I'm really digging how different these movies are. This is the third Godzilla movie we've had in a couple of years and each one are so totally different from each other.

Jim Pluff's blog showing the new (human, or at least humanoid) characters for the movie.

Gotta love the classical anime standard: wonky non-Japanese character names

[lhb412]

... and holy jeez: this movie is just the first part in a trilogy! This is three movies!

There are now five Godzilla movies in active production:

- Godzilla: Monster Planet parts 1, 2 & 3
- Godzilla: King of the Monsters
- Godzilla vs. Kong

and I'm sure eventually Toho will do another live action one, Shin sequel or not. These are the good old days, folks. Enjoy 'em.

[Psycho Soldier]

I don't know if I'm ready for a Monster Planet trilogy, but hopefully the first film justifies the second, and so forth. The concept is rich with potential; it's all leaning on execution now.
