I would say I love Oshima about equally to Otani. It's like how I can't really pick a favorite between Ifukube and Sato.

As far as Otani's score for GMK goes, I'm pretty torn. The themes for Godzilla, the military, and especially Tachibana are real winners for me, but I absolutely abhor the stuff used for Mothra and King Ghidorah. The synthesizers don't really bother me, as the blending of electronic and orchestral music can work quite well when done right (though at the end of the day, I'm still partial to the traditional orchestra). An uneven score for an uneven picture in my book.

My vote still goes to Michael Giacchino for the new film. It may be a long shot, but he's proven himself worthy of such material with his past efforts. While I like Hans Zimmer, I don't think his style really meshes with Godzilla. It might be interesting to see the approach that composers like Howard Shore, Clint Mansell, and James Newton Howard might take to the project.

I actually really love Manabe's scores too. Really, I think the only Godzilla scores that I DON'T like are Ifukube's Heisei efforts, minus Mechagodzilla's theme and most of Destoroyah's score. Otherwise I find them incredibly bland.

My girlfriend doesn't mind Manabe with the exception of Godzilla's theme, which she abhors. "It makes him seem like some sort of drunk, alcoholic type!" I can't help it - that's part of why I love it! :lol:

I love Manabe's Godzilla theme. Especially in Smog Monster, when it's punctuated by those loud, bombastic horns.

The only Godzilla score I don't like is Hattori's Spacegodzilla.

My biggest problem with Hattori's stuff is that it's all over the place, most of it doesn't feel like it belongs.

I like Hattori's Space Godzilla soundtrack. It's his G2K score that I'm not fond of.
