7:34 that really hit... For people who don't know. In the original " rodan" of 1956 there were two of them, a male and female. However at the end of the movie, the female is stuck because of the flames of an active volcano. The male try to save her but unfortunatly he fails, and both of them perish in the volcano. A third rodan will then appears, the rodan we all know. The last of his kind.... But now he is not alone anymore ❤️
This is really heartbreaking but I have a problem with this, isn't this Rodan the heisei version?, I mean his surrogate brother exists so it has to make since.
@@Hollasias I presume it's a composite like all the other kaiju that appear in these videos. After all there's an Easter Egg referencing the events of Ghidorah The Three Headed Monster alongside noting how he still sees himself as Little Godzilla's big bro.
@@ColorInversion Yes it is the Rodan Heisei but the family lore belongs to the Rodan Showa. The author gave him that of his counterpart to enrich his story. The newspaper sheet in Motha's house also belongs to the Showa era, the characters are a combination of different timelines.
something i absolutely ADORE about how Rodan acts here is how he occasionally behaves like a real bird. him flipping his neck back and clicking his beak like a crane when his egg hatches and hunting fish in a similar way to a black heron are such awesome little details
I just got to say "Ghidorah the Three Headed Monster" being described as that time a worm, a teenager, and an old man saved the world is something I didn't know I needed in my life. Thank you!
Love what a grouchy loner Godzilla is compared to his kid. this is honestly a breath of fresh air as far as fan animations in the community goes. a cute slice of life on monster island. absolutely love what an enthusiastic and proud parent Rodan is.
Definitely my cup of tea instead of the usual "destroy the monster" plots that have been overdone to this point. Imagine if someone did something like this for Jurassic Park/World? Something that steers away from the dino chasing humans to dino slice of life.
@@VideoGameStarChannelSupreme So like a Documentary? I’d be down for that. Makes me wish the animals in JWE2 acted more like modern animals with a wider range of behaviors and interactions.
Aw man the flowers the baby fell into being the same that sprouted in Rodan's sibling's shell... It's too good. Love love LOVE these Toho kaiju animations, my dude. 🥰
The fandom (and actually most of the films) often make a point of portraying Rodan as... Let's just say a jerk, so seeing him as a legitimately good guy and still having that feel completely in character is honestly heartwarming. God(zilla) bless the pterodactyl dad.
Only Legendary's Rodan is a jerk. They portrayed him as someone arrogant that when he meets someone more powerful he becomes submissive and obedient. Basically Starscream. But both Rodan Showa and Rodan Heisei are good guys, especially Heisei.
@@Warlord_Gruktak_Rukrak to me rodan seems more like a single mom, but maybe that's because it hits closer to home, also as you can see here at 7:10, you see two pictures, one, on the right, who kind of looks like rodan's partner, and on the left, rodan, who definitely looks more feminine compared to her partner edit: after seeing the last scene I realized that they are rodan's parents, but my point still stands that rodan looks an awful lot like her mother
I think rodand is male because on his list it said get a dad bod so im thinking he is male wow i didn't kno2 that many people agreed and thx also i might start uploading god zilla.shorts
I love the detail of Rodan clicking his beak when he’s happy or excited, as I believe that’s a thing birds and most likely pterosaurs used to do to express their emotions.

7:25 I know this is probably Rodan's own egg from which he hatched from, turned into a grave/homage for his parents, perhaps. But later when he visits Mothra and it said that he has done this all before, I wonder if it's an egg he once had and it did not have life in it. Anyways, it's heartbreaking to see.
@@Morbidly_obese_crocodile The creator confirms that's his first egg. Which is why Mothra's comforting words don't really help, cause he's already done this in the past.

This has to be my favorite of all of the godzilla animations you've done so far! Your art style, storytelling and animation skills just keep getting better and better.
It’s emotional how like the Showa there were two Rodans and in this it’s like the mother had passed away and yet protected a future for their baby and soulmate 😪 that part gets me so heartbreaking
How is it possible that an 11 minute animation could make a monster take care of an egg, it made me feel more emotions and feelings than the last 10 Disney movies, you are incredible, keep it up

As a soon to be Dad, with complications with trying before, this hit a bit harder than I thought it would. You did great! Keep at it, and do your best everytime! Thank you
It’s easy to forget that Rodan, Like Mothra, was first seen in his own movie during the classic showa era, but was later added to Toho’s famous roster of “Godzilla” Kaiju. Easily one of my favorite Kaiju of all time, but I feel like he hasn’t gotten the respect he deserves. Well, until now. This video is 🔥
I think he's gotten plenty of respect. at least compared to most other monsters anyway. He's the first monster (along with Mothra) to be considered Godzilla's ally, he's part of the Big 5 (Showing up in each era) and; like you said, he's a monster who got his own movie before becoming part of the Godzillaverse. Granted, he's probably the least talked about of the big five, but Mothra, King Ghidorah and Mechagodzilla are just far more talked about.
Early showa rodan was like Godzillas equal where they didn’t necessarily like eachother but would work together if need be Hopefully we can see monsterverse rodan kinda follow suit and ally with Godzilla to defeat a greater enemy one of these days
☑️Minor spoilers☑️ The fact that you connected rodans first movie and connecting that by showing the portraits of his parents and him being hesitant of going into the room (presumably by having PTSD from losing his parents) and the ending shot of his parents and the baby from the broken egg (which almost made me cry). This whole episode was so well done, amazing job
What can I say that has not already been said? This is the best kaiju animation I have seen. The warm and bright colors with the emotion in every scene, the monsters up the wazoo. 1000/10. Perfect!
@@connorenriquez5346 I think it's more like THIS rodan is the child of those two and they died and the egg in rodan's house was HIS egg that he broke out of
I don't blame you for thinking that, I thought Manda the serpent asshat ate the last infant Rodan had in his care which was why he lost his shit at the serpent, but forgot about the movie- (Alsp don't mind the spelling error, totally didn't get gaslit)
This is my 2 year old daughters favorite series to watch! She asks to watch Gojira every day and she specifically points to this series when I scroll through videos. It's a fantastic introduction to the series without too much violence. Thank you so much for taking the time to create these! ❤ 🦖
You always know how to convey a story without any actual forms of audible words just emotion and letting the animation speak for itself. Beautiful stuff, simply amazing as always.
@@Robotinatophat you could see in the photos in the house that it quite literally is a female and plus these animations usually switch the gender around a lot even though it’s real gender might be something else
The horror I felt when Manda cracked the egg was legitimately visceral like i felt my stomach clench from that and it didnt let go until Rodan Jr came out of the gg and he is so cute i am sobbing
The room scene is very emotional. They way I see it, it was Rodan's old egg and he's paying respect to his parents that died in the 1956 movie from the volcano. Maybe the reason he's doing parenting research is to make sure he's present after having to growing up by himself with the only family he had being Little Godzilla and learning how to be a dad for the 1st time since his passed away to teach him. Based on the credits, the parent figures he had were Showa Goji & Mothra. That's just my interpretation. Overall I love these animations and can't wait to see more along with Lil Pootis.
I never knew I wanted a “day in the life of…” Godzilla series but here we are and I am SO here for it every time you upload an episode of it. The little ones are just pure serotonin every time they’re on screen.
Rodan's fear of the egg not hatching and trauma from the last egg brings tears to the eyes and is very heartbreaking but the fact he gets his happy ending is heartwarming, your way of story telling is fabulous and tbh I'm excited to see the 2nd Generation of the Monster Island crew with the added addition of Rodan Jr (A solo episode featuring Godzilla Jr, Mothra Jr and Larve A.K.A Mothra's children and Rodan Jr please I need that episode in my life)
I love the fact that you give more prominence to the other monsters than to Godzilla, it seems very accurate to me, since Godzilla always overshadowed the protagonism of the other monsters, good job ❤️👍
Quazie you never fail to make these Kaiju the most adorable creatures imaginable :D Seeing Rodan want to be the best Dad he can, and getting a happy ending after his previous attempt, was some infectious heartbreak and happiness
I love how there are no words to be spoken. Yet you can feel and understand every little emotion in this movie. Rodan as a toho own character has always been a deep and philosophical monster. And youve done them much more justice than most ❤
Oh my god! It’s so good! Rodan is such a unique character for his personality, and I’m glad it’s utilised here. The animation, the artwork, the story, the BABY! Fantastic work mate!
@@KingDrakoTyrell it definitely sucks a little. But given how many times Rodan been a cheeky a#s to Godzilla, I’m not surprised. Still, little g loves him, so maybe the big G will soften up to him.
@@Cryptic-Cryo yes, if there’s ever a big fight, rodan will probably end up fighting alongside top G himself. Or at the very least, protecting baby G :D
I friggin love it! If I had to complain about anything at all, I kinda wished it was explained a little bit more why Manda just eats babies. A bunch of characters get their own bio, while the one I have the most questions about gets nothing
I haven't cried since Minus one. This was so cute to see. The baby was by far the best reveal,but the reveal of the pictures to his parents made this one my favorite. You can feel just how worried rodan is to be a father,and when his dream is finally complete,he can rest easy with his newborn child.
This just gives off the BEST kinds of Saturday morning cartoon vibes that is favoured by both children and adults alike, this one episode in particular is off the charts in terms of animation and wholesomeness
Exactly every thing about this is just wholesome, there were some bits where I didn’t know anything about because I’m not familiar with the Godzilla lore but like at the end of this video I feel bad for Godzilla Jr because apparently he only has two friends on monster island :(
I noticed there were no closed captions during the scene where Rodan lays flowers by his egg. Very good move: really allows the imagery and music to just speak for itself in such an emotional moment of mourning.
My Dad found the first Godzilla animation you did (borger) and we all loved it. We have a Godzilla home, especially my Dad who has been a diehard fan of the franchise since the beginning. We watched through all of your animations in anticipation for this one, and it did not disappoint! It was so fun catching little hints here and there like a scavenger hunt (my Dad appreciates every detail you put in!) This was beautiful, and you truly are one of the pillars in the Godzilla fandom imo
As a dad, I really liked this animation. My kids enjoyed it, too! My boy asked who's egg was in the house, and if it hatched, I, uh...I didn't really know how to explain that to him.
That's rodans egg(this Rodan in the video) and those pictures are his mom and dad but i don't really know Because in king of the monster 1956 there's two rodans who got burned in the volcano because of the female Rodan being stuck
@@oswaldus8657 Why would he lay flowers at his own egg? That was his first egg that didn't result in a baby rodan. The subtitles said as much when he was at Mothra's and she said some babies need more time, but he had "done all this before".
Rodan's always been the cool brother/fun uncle type to me so it's cool to see that portrayed in a more comedic/emotional manner with this animation. Great work!
I love how Godzilla and Ghidorah having another fight is a background event to Rodan waiting for his egg to hatch. Also i cannot tell you how much my ears perked up when I recognized the Dragon Quest Music
12:23 I just love how Gorosourus just gives a thumbs up, what a guy Edit: I like Gorosourus. He's just an old grumpy "wise" guy who used to be a strong fighter and most likely still is, but now is just chilling in Anguirus's home. What a guy 👍
@@Baryonyxguy8well in his intermission fact sheet is looked like he was doing the “flying dropkick” move that Godzilla used on Megalon, maybe Gorosaurus taught him that move?
the lore you're creating behind your animations is so wholesome and emotional, let alone comedic as hell! please keep making such amazing short films/animations!...
OMG, I love how wholesome and heartwarming this is. I love the relationship between Little and Rodan. Awesome step-bros. And Mothra just enjoys helping Rodan out thanks to their history and friendship. Rodan just wants to be a good parent and He will success I'm sure. Seriously all your Godzillla animations are so amazing and a blast to watch. Thank you for making these!!
I don't typically watch fan animations, particularly some of the more "cutesy" kind, they just don't do much for me. But as a Rodan stan, I couldn't help but give this a click when it showed up as recommended. This was wonderful! So much heart and love poured into the characters and the story, and the animation is top notch. Very well done, and I'll be sure to check out your other works.
Things I love about this 1: The movements of each monster, especially Rodan in 1:26, 6.27, and 8:50. Also the Mothra larvae moving like a worm when running from the water at 2:33 when you could have just had them move their tiny lil legs and float across the ground. 2: How expressive each character is. Their emotions are absolutely out for everyone to see and it looks great in your style. Godzilla's facial animations at 4:35 and 12:29 and their really shine with their slightly higher frame count. 3. Pre-established points coming back such as how Manda loves easy prey and Rodan doing his happy beak clap at 12:13 (so freaking great) 4. World building. The intermission shows a copywrite for monster island at 1968, a year after the first movie monster island appeared in (Son of Godzilla) which either means copyright complications occurred or the deal Mothra made with Japan in 64 wasn't finalized until then (or I'm looking too far into it). Mothra is a very popular monster in the islands, and elections for monster representatives are held. We can see in the newspaper that King Caesar at least respects Mothra but doesn't fully agree with her way of doing things. Rodan was raised by Mothra (or at least *A* Mothra) after the death of his parents, the events of the showa and heisei era are somewhat connected, though obviously in a unique way (I have no idea how old Godzilla is), and thanks to the credits we know that the fight in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla 2 between Godzilla and Rodan did happen. The world feels alive and I can't wait to see more of it. 5. Battra
This guy, bro. Probably took 24 hours to do it, man. R.I.P. for your fingers, bro, R.I.P. also, I agree with all of that information of what you said, especially 1, 2, and 4.
I have only seen three godzilla movies but this animation has convinced me to start watching more of them. If only to know more about these little guys. Good animation.
3:04 I’ve always admired the small details you put into your animations! An example of this is the cloud formation on top which translates from Japanese to English "Godzilla". Overall, OUTSTANDING work as always!
Quazies, you somehow managed to break my heart and sew it back together again in the span of 13 minutes. That's somefantastic storytelling! The scene with the eggshell sitting in the light of the forest was genuinely breathtaking, especially how you cast the light through the trees.
I love this Godzilla animation, especially the brotherly relationship between Rodan and Little Godzilla which was something that we don't see in the Godzilla Heisei movies.
This was adorable! Loved how Rodan was characterized, especially in comparison to how he's usually thought of. Mothra being a good friend is great too.
This is beautiful! The animation is gorgeous, the story is heartfelt, and the music is lovely. Thank you so much for sharing Rodan’s journey to fatherhood with us! (And as requested: skreeeonk!)
This literally nearly brought tears to my eyes. This was a beautiful animation that had so much emotion conveyed without words. The subtitles are always a lovely treat to add a bit of levity and additional context though! I can't wait to see more from you!
As a big Rodan fan, this might be one of my favorite portrayals if the character ever. He's so often treated as the butt if the joke that it's so nice to see his caring nature be more fleshed out. It's always nice to see how both the animation and character designs change every video. And of course the Easter eggs (no pun intended), my favorite being hedorah watching House, it's so on point. Gorosaurus is a mood and I love him for it. And Manda as the antagonist was quite a surprise. Though can anyone explain to me, did Rodan loose both a mate and a child? Or did he loose his parents?
I think it's a combination- I know in his first appearance, Rodan's mom and dad perished, and I seem to remember another version of Rodan having an egg that got destroyed. I could be misremembering that second part though
I can't remember which movie it was exactly, but I do remember that one of Rodans original movies there was a pair of rodans like kaiju that started causing havoc after awakening from a volcano together? The rodan we would come to know was the surviving monster from that film.
I wasn't expecting this video to be that emotional, I legitimately almost teared up in some parts, also Godzilla's name written in the clouds was a cool Easter egg
This animation about Rodan's preparation for his egg's hatching was very touching and I love the part where he tries to look back at his past of his family. Very emotional at the ending and I hope Rodan will do his best to take of his baby like a true father should, like the G-man, but better. >w< Speaking of which, that one scene where Rodan is hanging out with Godzilla Jr reminded me of the fact that he protected him as a surrogate brother in the heisei movie. A pretty good touching moment as I viewed the other few minor monsters' updated appearances. Great job as always, Quazies. :)
Your Godzilla stuff is always so incredibly inspired. As a life long fan I love all your interpretations of the monsters, all feel so spot on! Deadbeat uncle space Godzilla was something I never knew I needed
This is so fricking beautiful. I love especially how you did Rodan's tear up when it thought it's baby had died or was eaten. So fluidly animated through the shock to sorrow, and Baby Rodan??? OH MY GOD, I LOVE THE LITTLE THING ALREADY!!!! ❤❤❤❤

What can I say that has not already been said? This is the best kaiju animation I have seen. The warm and bright colors with the emotion in every scene, the monsters up the wazoo. 1000/10. Perfect!
New animation real?
I had to watch it twice because it was just so good
Yeah me too soldier
i agree, soldier tf2
3:57 It doesn't matter that I'm 16 years old, I smile at how cute they are 🥺😭❤️🩹
Absolutely love how Showa Rodan is the dad, and Heisei Rodan is the mum.
Stellar content, keep 'em coming. Please oh please make more.
i guess the last baby didnt make it?
@@connorenriquez5346 I think it's more like THIS rodan is the child of those two and they died and the egg in rodan's house was HIS egg that he broke out of
The fact that Rodan has actually lost an egg (and possibly his wife?) in the past, and almost lost his second egg, was heartbreaking to see.
That egg wasn’t his second egg that egg was his little sibling the other two were his parents Rodan is the second last of his kind
@@lunartimberwolf oh. That makes sense.
I don't blame you for thinking that, I thought Manda the serpent asshat ate the last infant Rodan had in his care which was why he lost his shit at the serpent, but forgot about the movie-
(Alsp don't mind the spelling error, totally didn't get gaslit)
@@anglepsycho you mean manda ? Or im just stupid and dont know who mauga is
@@ThuyvanNguyenthi-hw4dz It's Manda. @anglepsycho likely misspelled
This is my 2 year old daughters favorite series to watch! She asks to watch Gojira every day and she specifically points to this series when I scroll through videos. It's a fantastic introduction to the series without too much violence. Thank you so much for taking the time to create these! ❤ 🦖
That’s amazing
Awww. :)
@@GigaMonke7 Yep, it really is!
That’s so sweet
Love how you made Rodan clack his beak repeatedly to signify joy and excitement like birds do ❤
I absolutely love how Godzilla is just like “yeh great ig….” When he’s shown the baby. Phenomenal work as always
You always know how to convey a story without any actual forms of audible words just emotion and letting the animation speak for itself. Beautiful stuff, simply amazing as always.
Bro did not turn on captions
Before thousands of people tell me to look at captions, yes I’ve seen the animation with captions as well don’t worry.
Never knew a kaiju could have such a compelling backstory. Love that roddy got his own episode, Great work as always.
Just about 2AM and crying over Rodan being a fretful and mourning daddy-to-be.
This is so freaking well done, good grief-!!!
I absolutely love how this turned out, and the moments were rodan shows his kid to everyone is so wholesome!
Rodan is the best father role-model. He literally takes notes even before his child is born.
everywhere... EVERYWHERE.
Rodan is a girl in this one I think
@@hashedpenguy9222naw the subtitles refer to Rodan as a guy
Last minute notes. But he is trying at least.
@@Robotinatophat you could see in the photos in the house that it quite literally is a female and plus these animations usually switch the gender around a lot even though it’s real gender might be something else
The horror I felt when Manda cracked the egg was legitimately visceral like i felt my stomach clench from that and it didnt let go until Rodan Jr came out of the gg and he is so cute i am sobbing
You mean Tiamat or what?
@@kucang_qiqi he’s correct, its Manda, the og dragon serpent kaiju
@Kentanggggggggggg there's so many kaiju so I get your confusion 😭
It’s will take for 24 hours!😩
ME TO but the first time I saw the vid now I am a-*Rodman jr comes*:0 da baby
The room scene is very emotional. They way I see it, it was Rodan's old egg and he's paying respect to his parents that died in the 1956 movie from the volcano. Maybe the reason he's doing parenting research is to make sure he's present after having to growing up by himself with the only family he had being Little Godzilla and learning how to be a dad for the 1st time since his passed away to teach him. Based on the credits, the parent figures he had were Showa Goji & Mothra. That's just my interpretation. Overall I love these animations and can't wait to see more along with Lil Pootis.
I never knew I wanted a “day in the life of…” Godzilla series but here we are and I am SO here for it every time you upload an episode of it. The little ones are just pure serotonin every time they’re on screen.
Can I just say, your designs are absolutely adorable while also highlighting the nuances of what makes the Kaiju so iconic. Love watching these
I like how Godzilla is a good father, but he’s still serious all the time.
Rodan's fear of the egg not hatching and trauma from the last egg brings tears to the eyes and is very heartbreaking but the fact he gets his happy ending is heartwarming, your way of story telling is fabulous and tbh I'm excited to see the 2nd Generation of the Monster Island crew with the added addition of Rodan Jr (A solo episode featuring Godzilla Jr, Mothra Jr and Larve A.K.A Mothra's children and Rodan Jr please I need that episode in my life)
That is his egg it's from the first Road in movie where his parents were caught in a volcano and went up in ashes
I knew it was gonna hatch, but that was pretty sad anyway.
Is the version of rodan depicted as male or female?
@@jhoansanchez8836 male
@@jhoansanchez8836male
I love the fact that you give more prominence to the other monsters than to Godzilla, it seems very accurate to me, since Godzilla always overshadowed the protagonism of the other monsters, good job ❤️👍
It's an absolute pleasure getting to work on this lovely animation! I knew this was gonna be something truly special! 💜
Love ur profile picture of skeleton turtle
We bless the All Mighty Skele-Turtle for helping the Blueberry make another Banger of a Video
Quazie you never fail to make these Kaiju the most adorable creatures imaginable :D
Seeing Rodan want to be the best Dad he can, and getting a happy ending after his previous attempt, was some infectious heartbreak and happiness
Is anyone gonna question how he made the baby???
@@saturn_th_silly There are two Rodans canonically I think.
You're pfp scares me...
@@ComeforthchildofmanandDIE yeah there was a solo rodan film where there were 2 rodans
I’m more fattier then you
This was such a good and emotional animation, I genuinely felt sad for Rodan whenever their egg was taking longer to hatch, great work!
Not to mention when Manda bit into the egg and it fell down. I was damn well worried.
Fun fact birds dont cry tears of emotion instead the cry then threaten or trying to clean their eyes.
@@iaminsideyourwalls2021 ngl i watch too many stuff to know the egg gonna hatch so i dont really worry about it (still manda is an meanie)
9:05 the way he calls her mom (turn captions on)
I love how he shows off his new kid to everyone like the proud dad he is
He's gone full "Look at my son, pride is not the word I'm looking for. There is so much more inside me now."
I can’t help but stare at his child, Divine Adorable!!! 🥹😭🥰❤
Even Godzilla's like, "Hm. Well done. Now go away."
Never in my life did I need to see Rodan become a father so much, until now. Awesome work as always!
Yes
The only question is where the egg come from. Rodan make a great father and now Godzilla junior has a new friend to play with.
So rodan married monsterverse rodan
@@CatherinePucethis Rodan is female. She’s based off the pair of Rodan’s from the original movie titled the same
@@air-headedaviator1805 the subtitles call rodan a him
I love how there are no words to be spoken. Yet you can feel and understand every little emotion in this movie. Rodan as a toho own character has always been a deep and philosophical monster. And youve done them much more justice than most ❤
This is so cute! I love that you included actual bird behavior as well
12:25 Jr so happy that he has a little brother to play with now is so sweet
Godzilla Junior would technically be Rodan Junior’s uncle, since Rodan sees Godzilla Junior as a little brother.
I went from interested to completely enthralled by the halfway point.
This was absolutely wonderful.
Es macho o hembra el rodan que vemos en el video?
Oh my god! It’s so good! Rodan is such a unique character for his personality, and I’m glad it’s utilised here. The animation, the artwork, the story, the BABY! Fantastic work mate!
I’m kinda sad to see godzilla doesn’t like him here, and he’s still not a big bad villain.
@@KingDrakoTyrell it definitely sucks a little. But given how many times Rodan been a cheeky a#s to Godzilla, I’m not surprised. Still, little g loves him, so maybe the big G will soften up to him.
@@Cryptic-Cryo yes, if there’s ever a big fight, rodan will probably end up fighting alongside top G himself.
Or at the very least, protecting baby G :D
I friggin love it! If I had to complain about anything at all, I kinda wished it was explained a little bit more why Manda just eats babies. A bunch of characters get their own bio, while the one I have the most questions about gets nothing
@@capootiscrepitoos yeah, like why out of all of the kaiju is manda the evil baby eater?
I am loving this series so far, its adorable and heart warming not mention really funny. Wonder if we'll ever see Leo running around on Monster Island
I haven't cried since Minus one. This was so cute to see.
The baby was by far the best reveal,but the reveal of the pictures to his parents made this one my favorite. You can feel just how worried rodan is to be a father,and when his dream is finally complete,he can rest easy with his newborn child.
This just gives off the BEST kinds of Saturday morning cartoon vibes that is favoured by both children and adults alike, this one episode in particular is off the charts in terms of animation and wholesomeness
Exactly every thing about this is just wholesome, there were some bits where I didn’t know anything about because I’m not familiar with the Godzilla lore but like at the end of this video I feel bad for Godzilla Jr because apparently he only has two friends on monster island :(
I noticed there were no closed captions during the scene where Rodan lays flowers by his egg. Very good move: really allows the imagery and music to just speak for itself in such an emotional moment of mourning.
I love Rodans redesign here, really fits the new personality
My Dad found the first Godzilla animation you did (borger) and we all loved it. We have a Godzilla home, especially my Dad who has been a diehard fan of the franchise since the beginning. We watched through all of your animations in anticipation for this one, and it did not disappoint! It was so fun catching little hints here and there like a scavenger hunt (my Dad appreciates every detail you put in!) This was beautiful, and you truly are one of the pillars in the Godzilla fandom imo
As a dad, I really liked this animation. My kids enjoyed it, too! My boy asked who's egg was in the house, and if it hatched, I, uh...I didn't really know how to explain that to him.
That it was rodans and he missed the times he was a kid.
That's rodans egg(this Rodan in the video) and those pictures are his mom and dad but i don't really know
Because in king of the monster 1956 there's two rodans who got burned in the volcano because of the female Rodan being stuck
@@Trollmoai I mean what fake thing to tell the kids about the egg
@@oswaldus8657 Why would he lay flowers at his own egg? That was his first egg that didn't result in a baby rodan. The subtitles said as much when he was at Mothra's and she said some babies need more time, but he had "done all this before".
@@Trollmoai the female died from the humans and the male committed suicide
This has got to be the best one you made. You’re a freaking underrated artist this was gorgeous, and you just played with my emotions in that episode
By the way all of the episodes are 10/10 and this one is a 100/10
I think my favorite was Gigan’s episode. It showed off all the villains and we got to know a lot more characters!
@@KingDrakoTyrellsame
Actually Rodan’s Baby bite the Mothra
12:19 Mothra: aww he's so cute
Baby Rodan: (bites Mothra's hand)
Mothra: what the
I can’t blame Rodan Junior. He was born like five minutes ago when rodan visited Mothra’s sanctuary
Anguirus: Congrats bro!😄
Gorosaurus: Congraguations.👍
Godzilla Jr: Awww it’s a little
Rodan!
Also godzilla: …😤
Such a great, inspiring, and compassionate animator
Ahh many thanks 💓💓
@@Quazieslove your animations and I’m sorry to ask but is Rodan a boy or a girl since I just can’t tell?

But where did he get the egg from?
@@Quazies LOOK THERE A RARE QUAZIES only known to have one of its kind left oh and there it goes
Rodan needs a oscar for waiting for a single egg to hatch for 2 YEARS AND 8 MONTHS
That's... not what Oscars are for
Doesnt matter what they're for she should still get one
@@A_Toaster today is male here hence the motto
He's a good dad... Or mom
Rodan's always been the cool brother/fun uncle type to me so it's cool to see that portrayed in a more comedic/emotional manner with this animation. Great work!
I love how Godzilla and Ghidorah having another fight is a background event to Rodan waiting for his egg to hatch.
Also i cannot tell you how much my ears perked up when I recognized the Dragon Quest Music
9:36 The detail and respect for Mothra's history!!! I love all the easter eggs of all her versions, and the cameo of the twins!!!!!
I forget who the Twins were though
@@thomasrose2149 Mothra twin fairies
I just Saw 61 mothra in the left bottom near the 64 ghidorah film...
@@VeshremyPainter556Plus, who's to say that the Mothra Larva that was playing jump rope with Junior is Leo? It's not confirmed, but just a theory.
@@Weirdman20 you can see theres two larvas which means its taro and hanako (larvaes from Tokyo s.o.s)
12:23 I just love how Gorosourus just gives a thumbs up, what a guy
Edit: I like Gorosourus. He's just an old grumpy "wise" guy who used to be a strong fighter and most likely still is, but now is just chilling in Anguirus's home. What a guy 👍
Ever wonder what big man Goji thinks of Gorosaurus? Does he have a form of respect for him due him being his best buds roommate?
@@Baryonyxguy8well in his intermission fact sheet is looked like he was doing the “flying dropkick” move that Godzilla used on Megalon, maybe Gorosaurus taught him that move?
_Look what happened!_
the lore you're creating behind your animations is so wholesome and emotional, let alone comedic as hell!
please keep making such amazing short films/animations!...
OMG, I love how wholesome and heartwarming this is. I love the relationship between Little and Rodan. Awesome step-bros. And Mothra just enjoys helping Rodan out thanks to their history and friendship. Rodan just wants to be a good parent and He will success I'm sure. Seriously all your Godzillla animations are so amazing and a blast to watch. Thank you for making these!!
I don't typically watch fan animations, particularly some of the more "cutesy" kind, they just don't do much for me. But as a Rodan stan, I couldn't help but give this a click when it showed up as recommended. This was wonderful! So much heart and love poured into the characters and the story, and the animation is top notch. Very well done, and I'll be sure to check out your other works.
I don't even think Godilla minus one had me this invested in a story holy shit, you have a knack for animated storytelling, talent
Things I love about this
1: The movements of each monster, especially Rodan in 1:26, 6.27, and 8:50. Also the Mothra larvae moving like a worm when running from the water at 2:33 when you could have just had them move their tiny lil legs and float across the ground.
2: How expressive each character is. Their emotions are absolutely out for everyone to see and it looks great in your style. Godzilla's facial animations at 4:35 and 12:29 and their really shine with their slightly higher frame count.
3. Pre-established points coming back such as how Manda loves easy prey and Rodan doing his happy beak clap at 12:13 (so freaking great)
4. World building. The intermission shows a copywrite for monster island at 1968, a year after the first movie monster island appeared in (Son of Godzilla) which either means copyright complications occurred or the deal Mothra made with Japan in 64 wasn't finalized until then (or I'm looking too far into it). Mothra is a very popular monster in the islands, and elections for monster representatives are held. We can see in the newspaper that King Caesar at least respects Mothra but doesn't fully agree with her way of doing things. Rodan was raised by Mothra (or at least *A* Mothra) after the death of his parents, the events of the showa and heisei era are somewhat connected, though obviously in a unique way (I have no idea how old Godzilla is), and thanks to the credits we know that the fight in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla 2 between Godzilla and Rodan did happen. The world feels alive and I can't wait to see more of it.
5. Battra
Godzilla is 250 million years old in legendary i hope but i dunno toho godzillas age
This guy, bro. Probably took 24 hours to do it, man. R.I.P. for your fingers, bro, R.I.P. also, I agree with all of that information of what you said, especially 1, 2, and 4.
The baby Rodan design is needlessly adorable in a series of needlessly adorable designs. I can't believe I didn't watch this day one
Man, the shot at 12:05 is gibli quality, I love the expressions, the lighting, *the shot composition,* this scene is so good!
I have only seen three godzilla movies but this animation has convinced me to start watching more of them. If only to know more about these little guys. Good animation.
3:04 I’ve always admired the small details you put into your animations! An example of this is the cloud formation on top which translates from Japanese to English "Godzilla". Overall, OUTSTANDING work as always!
I LOVE YOUR godzilla animations! All the monsters having their own character and such! Please keep these up!!!
3:20 I love how added the little bits of steam, showing how Godzilla has to cool down his reactor.
Dude hes just tired of moving around is more simple to say
Quazies, you somehow managed to break my heart and sew it back together again in the span of 13 minutes. That's somefantastic storytelling!
The scene with the eggshell sitting in the light of the forest was genuinely breathtaking, especially how you cast the light through the trees.
Kudos to you, Quazies! Always good to see such a skilled animator like you in the Godzilla community :)
Remember this guy taught himself how to animate and draw. He is really good at this, bravo quazies, bravo.
I love this Godzilla animation, especially the brotherly relationship between Rodan and Little Godzilla which was something that we don't see in the Godzilla Heisei movies.
This was adorable! Loved how Rodan was characterized, especially in comparison to how he's usually thought of. Mothra being a good friend is great too.
This is beautiful! The animation is gorgeous, the story is heartfelt, and the music is lovely. Thank you so much for sharing Rodan’s journey to fatherhood with us! (And as requested: skreeeonk!)
11:32 My cinematographic trauma
This literally nearly brought tears to my eyes. This was a beautiful animation that had so much emotion conveyed without words. The subtitles are always a lovely treat to add a bit of levity and additional context though! I can't wait to see more from you!
As a big Rodan fan, this might be one of my favorite portrayals if the character ever. He's so often treated as the butt if the joke that it's so nice to see his caring nature be more fleshed out.
It's always nice to see how both the animation and character designs change every video. And of course the Easter eggs (no pun intended), my favorite being hedorah watching House, it's so on point.
Gorosaurus is a mood and I love him for it. And Manda as the antagonist was quite a surprise.
Though can anyone explain to me, did Rodan loose both a mate and a child? Or did he loose his parents?
I think it's a combination- I know in his first appearance, Rodan's mom and dad perished, and I seem to remember another version of Rodan having an egg that got destroyed. I could be misremembering that second part though
@@whats-a-clever-username4263 The only other time involving an egg was Mechagodzilla 2, the debut of Godzilla Jr
@@whats-a-clever-username4263it’s probably his old shell, and he’s worried that he will be a horrible dad or something and die or ehatever
I can't remember which movie it was exactly, but I do remember that one of Rodans original movies there was a pair of rodans like kaiju that started causing havoc after awakening from a volcano together? The rodan we would come to know was the surviving monster from that film.
@@anntan9913 that would be the original Rodan movie actually yeah
I wasn't expecting this video to be that emotional, I legitimately almost teared up in some parts, also Godzilla's name written in the clouds was a cool Easter egg
4:06
Manda(atragon):sweet lord of heavens help me
This animation about Rodan's preparation for his egg's hatching was very touching and I love the part where he tries to look back at his past of his family. Very emotional at the ending and I hope Rodan will do his best to take of his baby like a true father should, like the G-man, but better. >w< Speaking of which, that one scene where Rodan is hanging out with Godzilla Jr reminded me of the fact that he protected him as a surrogate brother in the heisei movie. A pretty good touching moment as I viewed the other few minor monsters' updated appearances. Great job as always, Quazies. :)
So the cracked egg shell in his home was Rodan's?
@@iaminsideyourwalls2021 Supposedly.
@@iaminsideyourwalls2021 One could also interpret it as something like a miscarriage. That's how I saw it when I watched this for the first time.
