New Toho Godzilla Series after Legendary

[sachiel]

I'm personally going to watch this with bated breath. It seems too good to be true. Honestly I know that Hideaki Anno has a lot of work going on with Evangelion 4.0. With a planned release for later this year I can't imagine him trying to take on a new Godzilla project at the same time. I also thought Shinji Higuchi is still working on the Attack on Titan movies? And of course the April 1st date.....Damn April Fools had to coincide with this announcement. Gonna wait another day and see if this turns out to be some elaborate fake announcement.

Oh my God, it's not an April Fool's joke. How do people look at every major news outlet in a country that doesn't traditionally celebrate April Fool's Day reporting on this announcement and still find the audacity to say, "Oh, well, it might just be an elaborate prank so I'm skeptical!"?

No. Stop it.

Make sense though, Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi were the two men who lead the appeal to help save traditional tokusatsu effect back in 2013 -- that giant god warrior short was specially made as a part of a museum tokusatsu exhibition.

Just because it is slated for the summer of 2016 doesn't mean it couldn't get pushed to winter of 2016.

Especially if AoT does really well, Higuchi might have more clout to do whatever he wants.

If this Godzilla is supposedly larger than the Legendary Godzilla, then that is a huge trilobyte on the 5th digit. That must be the size of a tank.

This isn't an April Fools joke.

It's on Toho's official Godzilla website now.

The idea that Anno is involved is going to stir the pot. Some regard EVA as the best show in the history of shows...others hate it.

Regardless of how you feel, Higuchi is the guy I care more about because of his previous work in the industry. Besides, these two know each other, founded a company together, and have previous experience working together. That's great for a production that the two main people running the show have a history AND they made the God Warrior short. I don't see what there is to be upset about...at least so far.

I will note that I find it almost hilarious that the first thing we've been shown is his foot, as if Toho were addressing the stubby feet of Legend-Goji directly.

It'll be interesting to see what the enemy kaiju are, if any. I very much liked the Angels from Evangelion, but that might not work so well for more earth based monsters.

When they say anime-esque I'm just assuming that's the sort of dynamic action you tended to see in Evangelion or maybe even the quiet moments of introspection.

I LIKE ALL OF THIS. BETWEEN THIS AND GODZILLA IN HELL I DON'T CARE IF GODZILLA 2 EVER GETS MADE.

I'm just trying to wrap my head around the phrase "dynamic action...like Evangelion" ...
