Toho Launches Gojikon (Godzilla Strategy Council)

^ Neat! It'll be cool for Godzilla fan attendees to see the real suit!

If only Toho (and Tsuburaya and Kadokawa) could get on board to do a US tour of a kind of tokusatsu museum exhibitions that have become commonplace in Japan.

How has the Godzilla 2000 suit survived so long? Did they pickle it?

And Toho endorses the "Reiwa Era", lumping Shin and the Anime Trilogy into it.

Lot of cool stuff at the Godzilla booth: live drawing from Shinji Nishikawa, signing by TJ Storm, costumes and props on display, in addition to selling merch.

A question posed to the Toho representative at the Godzilla booth seems to indicate we can expect more Godzilla anime projects:

Honestly, whatever you thought of the Netflix trilogy, this is such a no-brainer that they should have been doing it for the last 20 years. Anime is so internationally popular and Godzilla is such a known franchise it just makes sense for a Godzilla anime to come out every couple years, right?

Interesting interview with two members of Gojikon.

if they are doing more godzilla then go 2d next time and for the love of bob hope don't make it boring.

^ Yeah, it all sounds extraordinarily ambitious, but I wonder just what it all means and if it'll affect me as a fan in the United States at all?

Still, I like that they're taking this initiative to market and maintain the brand internationally. Basically, it feels like 'Godzilla's here to stay,' you know?

I'm not familiar with Symphogear (although I think there's an anime adaptation pretty popular right now?), but I would think a collab with a similar franchise like Kancolle (navy ships) or Girls und Panzer (tanks) would be a no-brainer.

^ I don't know, Godzilla and magical girls seems like a obvious combination!

That life size Shin Godzilla attraction was featured on the local news here (South Mississippi by the Gulf Coast), taking me off-guard. They seemed perplexed by it.

So it looks like that clothing line that was talked about for the Godzilla Genesis project is with Mondo.
