If you haven't seen any Godzilla Movies, you shouldn't direct one. It's like directing a Comic-Book Movie when you haven't read any Comics. You don't have to be an expert on it or even *like* the source material, but at you should be at least *know* it.
I only seen WikiZilla’s video on the history of the anime Godzilla. Literally that history alone would’ve been better as it mentioned Varan, Manda, King Caesar, and even..... that giant walrus kaiju
The Reiwa series in general comes off as the creation of science/philosophy majors who want to vent their existential crises through the film/animation medium, but have been strong-armed into including Godzilla in them. That's not to say you have to be a diehard fan of Godzilla to make a good G-film: Kazuki Omori admitted he didn't like Godzilla, and infused elements of James Bond and his passion for genetic engineering into the plot of _Godzilla vs. Biollante_ . The difference is that Omori never once forgot who his target audience was, and _Godzilla vs. Biollante_ is almost universally considered one of the top ten Godzilla films.
I remember watching it... But not remembering anything that happened in it. Dull grey palettes... Dull script... Dull lifeles dead animation... All conspired to make the best cure for insomnia as I struggled to stay awake throughout the runtime of each film. Godzilla truly deserves better than this sorry attempt by Polygon Pictures.. and I am not sure I've seen anything from Polygon Pictures worth its runtime. I only wish Netflix would stop pumping in money. Because whatever they're paying. It's not going to people who cares.
What? You're infinitely wrong, if you want to watch Godzilla Fighting other Monsters you have 30+ other films for that, your comment about "slapping the Fandom in the face" is insulting to the hard work these people put into the lore and stories, and plus alot of people are opening that they enjoy The Trilogy
This anime trilogy was a titanic waste of time, I am a devout Godzilla fan and it was haaaard to sit through. The low FPS animation bugged the shit out of me and the entire thing felt thrown together. It was underwhelming in every regard as a kaiju production. This is coming from a person that watched and at least _low-moderately_ enjoyed every episode of Ultraman Ace, among a long list of other questionably produced kaiju flicks. I would absolutely sit through Son of Godzilla 3 times before watching this trilogy a second time. SSSS Gridman was a way better Kaiju anime.
I think your being too harsh true, as godzilla movies, not the best But it did kinda satisfy me towards the end I kinda got hooked with the humans/aliens And the whole thing about humanity, tecnology, religion etc. it kinda expanded the whole thing of aliens invading the earth from the original movies I didn't even care about the monsters at all,they were just a bonus what really annoyed me was how much the scenes repeated movie 1: oh godzilla, oh flying stuff shooting, oh he destroyed flying stuff and the whole "his ans that is at 40% bla bla bla" . I was interested at first but then they kept doing it again and again to the point where I was screaming " GOD,SHUT THE FUCK UP"
@@pera_king3720 If the kaiju were a bonus then the trilogy shouldn't had started with a film called monster planet let alone the trilogy shouldn't be named after godzilla himself. The trilogy aimed for female moviegoers who weren't into monster films so that alone speaks volumes of what audience toho wanted to attract. They wanted non fans that didn't even like kaiju films not fans or casual viewers who didn't mind kaiju films.
Let's see how it does shall we? Better handling of Godzilla, Mothra, and Ghidorah. Actual use of the classic themes. Proper monster fights. The Kaiju have genuine personalities. Ghidorah doesn't go out like a bitch. Human characters with actual personalities. A remembrance of Haruo Nakajima that is way more respecful than naming a character with the temperament of a five-year-old. No pretentious pseudo-philosophical nonsense.
I hung in for the first one hoping it would turn the corner and be good. Even the swerve at the end couldn't save it. MechaGodzilla got my attention for the second movie but just led to me raging on how terrible it was. Moment I saw 3 gold Manda's being advertised for the third movie I knew I had to avoid it like a hug from Gabara
Lawd this review reminded me of that reaaaally awkward scene between one of the Mothra twins and Haruo. You already know which scene I mean Tbh it is soooo fucked. Like every other decision felt like there was a good reason behind it like the design of Godzilla and Ghidorah being based off of trees and flowers since plants are considered to be one of the most prevalent and oldest and largest species on Earth... Then you get this shit which feels like one of the writers' Mothra twin rule 34 fanfiction which they left in. Why? Yes.
1998 is actually enjoyable as long as you think of it as a generic monster film instead of a Godzilla movie. The anime trilogy can’t even achieve that.
@@eccentricgamer4111 funny enough I rewatched ‘98 Zilla and I was really enjoying the first half. Up until they realized Zilla was pregnant lol then it spiraled after.
They promised: Godzilla ruling the planet with the rest of the monsters We got: Godzilla "rules" with plants and dragons made from him (the latter of which never returns in the later films) They promised: Mothra appearing. We got: ...as a cave painting, a cameo and an egg. They promised: Godzilla fighting a cool (abit stupid-looking) redesign of MechaGodzilla. We got: Godzilla taking a bath in molten metal and being harassed by bug mechs and turrets (no transforming city) They promised: Godzilla vs King Gheidorah We got: The flying spaghetti monster attacking a barely-moving Godzilla They promised: To make a better Godzilla anime We achieved: Success with Singular Point!
I literally have zero recollection of these movies. I remember getting hype for when the alien elf twink said "ghidorah", then I forgot that these movies existed I hate the main character a lot, he reminds me of eren yeager. Idk how I didnt fall asleep during them. It was so long and boring.
When announced: The Earth has been taken over by monsters. it is thousands of years into the future and mankind has returned to see what became of the planet. When released: Only Godzilla remains, and he spends most of his time sleeping. all the other monsters, except for Mothera, are dead. it's just Godzilla and some flying long necked bat things now.
There this one problem I have, that the they portray Haruo as a strong, stubborn, edgy, ambitious youth (under age 24 years old) is like they made fun Eren Yeager from Attack on Titan, except he isn’t like him, Haruo has like one motive which kill Godzilla and that’s it, I think this is disrespectful because Eren has more than one motives than kill titans.
Well only in seaon 1 of AOT it felt like eren had 1 motive and that was to kill all titans. Haruo felt more based off season 1 eren instead of the eren we got throughout the next following seasons that gained more motives and character development
I can't wait for godzilla singular point that series will blow this crap trilogy out of the water. Also have you heard that the monsterverse will continue with a animated skull island series?
@@Godzilla-tu2cd see...this is what hollywood and all other media needs. Superheroes are cool don't get me wrong but seriously giant monsters making a comeback is what the media needs
In turth, it wasn't until this trilogy that I realize how sick I am of sick seeing Mothra, Ghidorah, Mechagodzilla and maybe Rodan in almost everything Godzilla is in. I know they're iconic, but they just steal the spotlight from more fitting monsters for projects like this. Don't think having like a pseudo war that Godzilla is fully unaware of between Mothra and her people vs Megalon and his people with the humans caught in the middle as they struggle to find a way beat Godzilla would be a more interesting and fitting plot a post apocalyptic monster movie? Or heck, why King Ghidorah? Why not Destoroyah? Have it be like a monster made from microorganisms mutated by the nano metal in a desperate attempt by the people up in space to rid the Earth of Godzilla and all other monsters? Not only would fit in with the "humanity's rage destroys all" theme of the third movie, but it doesn't have to involve an out of nowhere betrayal/sacrafice of the planet for some noodle necks in a blackhole. In fact, I have a question. Why do people hate the 1998 design for Godzilla and its portrayal there yet they are fine with Toho turning Ghidorah, a 3 headed space dragon, into a bunch of manda wanabes coming out of a hole in the sky that does absolutely nothing but bite and strangle?
I think this description of Ghidorah is pretty accurate: Ghidorah is an alternate-dimension evolution of a creature like Godzilla from another dimension that lives in the void of nothing between dimensions that occasionally eats planets in ours. It destroyed the Exif's homeworld (Metphie's kind) after the exif somehow summoned it and they began to worship it under the basic logic of rick and morty reddit atheism (a religion of nihilism), spreading to other planets and then tricking their populace into summoning it. Ghidorah orders them around using the green gems they carry around (kind of a neat twist on the whole "Aliens control Ghidorah" thing from the Showa Era, here it's reversed). Haruo was supposed to be the guy they would puppet into summoning Ghidorah fully into this dimension to consume earth but Mothra interrupted Metphies' brainwashing session and because Haruo rejected Metphies' offer and destroyed the little bead that he had in his eye Ghidorah gets banished back into the void for now. Really a great concept that was executed poorly, IIRC the 3D model of Ghidorah's full body got corrupted and they couldn't use it, not to say that it's certain they were going to at all
the fun part is, in all 3 movies godzilla walk 2 km thats it. he wakes up does somthing and falls asleep till the next movie. the other monsters where a insult to the fans and in the end all was pointless. they all would have died 20000 years ago but ran away only to die later at the hands of godzilla. Nothing was accomplished, nothing was solved. an example is mechagodzilla. godzilla would evantully find the city and destroy it, only years later when it would grow to big to hide. the only thing that wouldnt happen is ghidorah. ps. i hate when the final "battle" in anime is some stupid talking in some sort of ghostworld in the minds of the protagonist. when the first one came out i was joking with a friend about it and then it happend.
The Godzilla anime trilogy was so bad that made Godzilla '98 look like a masterpiece. Heck, even human characters like Nick Tatoupolos(Matthew Broderick) and the Mayor are way better and entertaining than Haruo and other characters. 😆😂🤣
He kills himself cause his buddy starts talking about how they can keep using the technology. The character fears what’ll happen if they repeat themselves by developing tech further again So he takes himself and the last suit out together
Just noticed after watching a few of your Godzilla videos in a row, but... ... is that the main theme from "Godzilla: Unleashed" playing in the background?
I watched the trilogy years ago... I didn't remember a single thing about it hahaha. Thanks for the video, knowing that Toei wanted new movies with no Kaiju battle I understand the loops the writers probably had to go for it, but unfortunatly I don't think it gave the more dramatic and philosofical engadgment they were hoping for. They are ok movies, but for me they are forgetable for sure
Haruo killed himself to prevent ghidorah from returning, no one else hates godzilla but if he stays others will hate godzilla, and then someone's will summon ghidorah, the nanometal was powered by radiation and that also had to go or another monster like godzilla will emerge.
Damn these movies were god awful. They absolutely needed to do the monster apocalypse prequel novel as the trilogy instead. The ideas here are so insulting, poorly written, poorly thought out, boring, straight up disrespectful alot of times, shat on godzillas mythos, wasted the mechagodzilla opportunity. when they said mechagodzilla would be in city on the edge of battle, my first thought was "well how will they make him as big as the ridiculously and stupidly tall Godzilla?" And then they intelligently made it a fictional nano metal that grew out of control, setting up the perfect way to make mechagodzilla as big as Godzilla earth, the city just forming back into mechagodzilla, it was perfect, but they fucked it, then made the lamest fuckin attack on titan evangelion bullshit robots that they had in the first one instead of mechagodzilla. Thats one of the dumbest decisions ever made in the Godzilla franchise. Yes worse than 98'. At least thats watchable. Also i like attack on titan, not so much evangelion, but its still true. A complete dumpster fire so outta touch its like they had no arms. Lol really tho, god awful, shouldve been the monster apocalypse instead of this boring shit.
The first one is arguably the best of the 3, and even it doesn't compare to prior entries in the franchise, they should of just made a sequel for the Shin Godzilla
If Godzilla vs Kong does well enough they may just let things continue as is, or at the very least start their kaiju cinematic universe with someone besides Godzilla, like Mothra, or utilize more obscure Kaiju Wouldn't mind Baragon or Anguirus getting their own films, or maybe even a Baragon vs Anguirus 🤩
This and '98 Godzilla gets way too much hate because people wanted them to be things they weren't aspiring to be. I'm glad you were actually fair here. I quite enjoyed this trilogy, it was a nice change of pace and I'm happy they did something different. I feel like now that we have the MonsterVerse people should be able to appreciate this trilogy and '98 for what they are. The Godzilla series is huge so there's room for stuff like them. 98 Godzilla went with a more King Kong, The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms, and Jurassic Park approach for the character while staying true to the origin and message of Godzilla, but giving it an all new meaning. You feel bad for Godzilla. Plus, it spawned a hell of an animated series. I like the atmosphere and philosophy of the Polygon Trilogy. Like you said, very Evangelion. Honestly gave me some Revenge of Iris vibes.
G98 was literally made by someone who wasn't a godzilla fan.....that alone speaks volumes of what g98 wanted to be. G98 is liked as it's own thing but that doesn't justify it was made as a poor representation of godzilla by someone who didn't even respect him. Same goes to the anime trilogy. It was ironically made by a godzilla fan who ironically had someone who didn't even like godzilla as his co director and on top of that toho wanted to appeal more to female moviegoers who weren't into monster films to begin with so essentially here's what you get. You got 1 movie that was made by someone who hated the source material and purposely avoided it because he couldn't be bothered and you got 3 movies that kept the most important aspects of the source material but executed them in a way that alienated everyone in a attempt to grab people that didn't like kaiju movies to begin with. G98 by no means was NOT staying true to godzilla when Roland literally said in his own words he never liked the original movies meanwhile the anime trilogy was too experimental for it's own good. Evangelion and gamera 3 did much better with it's philosophy messages. At least gamera 3 had a simple plot while feeling like a traditional kaiju film meanwhile Evangelion had ACTUAL good human characters while feeling like a traditional kaiju anime (even if it has a complex plot)
Did you by any chance see the fan animation of Godzilla earth vs mechagodzilla and ghidorah? These two movies are both in Japanese subs, but they’re really good and show the full, and rather wasted, potential of the anime Godzilla movies.
The Godzilla anime trilogy is just weird, it does'nt work imo, it just feels like your average Y/A anime pretending to be a Godzilla story. I just feel Godzilla does'nt work as a anime, but maybe Singular Point can prove me wrong.
Godzilla is supposed to be the allegory of the karma that of human activities and a warning of any disconnections from the natural world, it is confusing to see the main fanbase only except every Godzilla movies to be fun & exciting sh*t and with "heroes vs villains" implement.
Every godzilla is a representation for something different. Godzilla earth is a force of nature a concept that was given to godzilla since the heisei era and has been part of him since then in most incarnations. The trilogy was aiming for female moviegoers that weren't fans of kaiju films to begin with plus toho purposely didn't want this trilogy to be traditional meanwhile shin gojira was different but still traditional for a godzilla film. Literally most godzilla films has the heroes vs villains implement. Either godzilla as the hero and other monsters as the villains or the humans as the heroes and godzilla as the villain. Only difference is that the trilogy couldn't make the humans good or the kaiju good while simultaneously appealing to women that don't even like kaiju movies.
Have we honestly been too harsh on this trilogy? Sure it’s basically reading 1000 page book but still, have we? Reddit treats the men behind the trilogy like they are mortal enemies.
My biggest gripe about this awful trilogy is godzilla himself. The concept of him being a metal plant is just silly, and he's WAY too overpowered even by godzilla standards. Especially that stupid shield of his. Its like an OC made by a 9 year old. "He has an unbreakable energy shield" "I use a nuke" "Cant, he has an unbreakable energy shield" "I use a super railgun" "Doesnt work, he has an unbreakable energy shield" And then he doesnt even have an atomic breath. Just another overpowered unbreatable beam he projects off his unbreakable energy shield. Then of course we get to the main character and how stupid he is. The ONLY 2 chances he had, handed to him on a golden fucking platter to kill godzilla, he passes them both up. First with mechagodzilla city where if they just crashed their mechs into godzilla's exposed back and self destructed, they would have killed him. Then again with ghidorah where all he had to do was NOTHING, he fucked it up. You'd think a guy as consumed with revenge as he was would want godzilla dead at any cost, but no. The writing of the plot and characters and power scaling of godzilla is just so damn awful.
For what it was I enjoyed this series I don't think it was my absolute favorite or anything definitely some changes I would have made such as making the monster fight pay off a bit better like number one I would probably leave untouched but two and three I'd probably change up the monster action heck as cool as Ghidorah was just because it's so different from how I view Ghidorah since I don't really see him being Godzilla's most powerful enemy I would have preferenced them replacing him with a different monster like space Godzilla destroyah maybe even bagan from super Godzilla the game and for the final change I would have made I probably would have made certain things that the characters say do different in a way that made what they did make more sense I wouldn't change everything but like little things here and there just to make it feel a little more like what they're doing make more sense
I might be in the minority here but to be perfectly honest Godzilla planet of the monsters is in my top 5 Godzilla movies ever. To bad I hated the hell outta the other 2 😅😅

Really a great concept that was executed poorly, IIRC the 3D model of Ghidorah's full body got corrupted and they couldn't use it, not to say that it's certain they were going to at all
I forgot that the Godzilla anime trilogy existed until this afternoon! 😅
Bro, you need more subscribers.
HAHA "...while they laughed maniacally in Japanese...." LMFAO bro thats pure gold
the fun part is, in all 3 movies godzilla walk 2 km thats it. he wakes up does somthing and falls asleep till the next movie. the other monsters where a insult to the fans and in the end all was pointless. they all would have died 20000 years ago but ran away only to die later at the hands of godzilla. Nothing was accomplished, nothing was solved. an example is mechagodzilla. godzilla would evantully find the city and destroy it, only years later when it would grow to big to hide. the only thing that wouldnt happen is ghidorah.
ps. i hate when the final "battle" in anime is some stupid talking in some sort of ghostworld in the minds of the protagonist. when the first one came out i was joking with a friend about it and then it happend.
The Godzilla anime trilogy was so bad that made Godzilla '98 look like a masterpiece.
Heck, even human characters like Nick Tatoupolos(Matthew Broderick) and the Mayor are way better and entertaining than Haruo and other characters. 😆😂🤣
He kills himself cause his buddy starts talking about how they can keep using the technology. The character fears what’ll happen if they repeat themselves by developing tech further again So he takes himself and the last suit out together
Just noticed after watching a few of your Godzilla videos in a row, but...
... is that the main theme from "Godzilla: Unleashed" playing in the background?
It's Mecha-King Ghidorah's theme from Unleashed yes
Yo this a way better version than the movie and spoilers for episode 3
Light years is distance bro
I watched the trilogy years ago... I didn't remember a single thing about it hahaha. Thanks for the video, knowing that Toei wanted new movies with no Kaiju battle I understand the loops the writers probably had to go for it, but unfortunatly I don't think it gave the more dramatic and philosofical engadgment they were hoping for. They are ok movies, but for me they are forgetable for sure
Haruo killed himself to prevent ghidorah from returning, no one else hates godzilla but if he stays others will hate godzilla, and then someone's will summon ghidorah, the nanometal was powered by radiation and that also had to go or another monster like godzilla will emerge.
Damn these movies were god awful. They absolutely needed to do the monster apocalypse prequel novel as the trilogy instead. The ideas here are so insulting, poorly written, poorly thought out, boring, straight up disrespectful alot of times, shat on godzillas mythos, wasted the mechagodzilla opportunity. when they said mechagodzilla would be in city on the edge of battle, my first thought was "well how will they make him as big as the ridiculously and stupidly tall Godzilla?" And then they intelligently made it a fictional nano metal that grew out of control, setting up the perfect way to make mechagodzilla as big as Godzilla earth, the city just forming back into mechagodzilla, it was perfect, but they fucked it, then made the lamest fuckin attack on titan evangelion bullshit robots that they had in the first one instead of mechagodzilla. Thats one of the dumbest decisions ever made in the Godzilla franchise. Yes worse than 98'. At least thats watchable. Also i like attack on titan, not so much evangelion, but its still true. A complete dumpster fire so outta touch its like they had no arms. Lol really tho, god awful, shouldve been the monster apocalypse instead of this boring shit.
This is just attack on titan.... IN SPAAACE
I only like the first one and I prefer it was a stand alone film. And I amused you used the Godzilla unleashed theme.
The first one is arguably the best of the 3, and even it doesn't compare to prior entries in the franchise, they should of just made a sequel for the Shin Godzilla
@Katie Lewis Fuck that, I want more Shin Godzilla movies
If Godzilla vs Kong does well enough they may just let things continue as is, or at the very least start their kaiju cinematic universe with someone besides Godzilla, like Mothra, or utilize more obscure Kaiju
Wouldn't mind Baragon or Anguirus getting their own films, or maybe even a Baragon vs Anguirus 🤩
@@kingkurok3149 shin gojira is not getting a sequel the director made it clear he doesn't want a sequel
Great video
This and '98 Godzilla gets way too much hate because people wanted them to be things they weren't aspiring to be. I'm glad you were actually fair here. I quite enjoyed this trilogy, it was a nice change of pace and I'm happy they did something different. I feel like now that we have the MonsterVerse people should be able to appreciate this trilogy and '98 for what they are. The Godzilla series is huge so there's room for stuff like them. 98 Godzilla went with a more King Kong, The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms, and Jurassic Park approach for the character while staying true to the origin and message of Godzilla, but giving it an all new meaning. You feel bad for Godzilla. Plus, it spawned a hell of an animated series. I like the atmosphere and philosophy of the Polygon Trilogy. Like you said, very Evangelion. Honestly gave me some Revenge of Iris vibes.
G98 was literally made by someone who wasn't a godzilla fan.....that alone speaks volumes of what g98 wanted to be. G98 is liked as it's own thing but that doesn't justify it was made as a poor representation of godzilla by someone who didn't even respect him. Same goes to the anime trilogy. It was ironically made by a godzilla fan who ironically had someone who didn't even like godzilla as his co director and on top of that toho wanted to appeal more to female moviegoers who weren't into monster films to begin with so essentially here's what you get.
You got 1 movie that was made by someone who hated the source material and purposely avoided it because he couldn't be bothered and you got 3 movies that kept the most important aspects of the source material but executed them in a way that alienated everyone in a attempt to grab people that didn't like kaiju movies to begin with. G98 by no means was NOT staying true to godzilla when Roland literally said in his own words he never liked the original movies meanwhile the anime trilogy was too experimental for it's own good. Evangelion and gamera 3 did much better with it's philosophy messages. At least gamera 3 had a simple plot while feeling like a traditional kaiju film meanwhile Evangelion had ACTUAL good human characters while feeling like a traditional kaiju anime (even if it has a complex plot)
Hmmmmm Godzilla 1998 and Godzilla the series is better than this crap
@@yourtimetraveleralarame too
Did you by any chance see the fan animation of Godzilla earth vs mechagodzilla and ghidorah? These two movies are both in Japanese subs, but they’re really good and show the full, and rather wasted, potential of the anime Godzilla movies.
I can't believe someone actually likes the planet eater.
You are not going to review Shin Godzilla?
I'll probably do Shin when I get to 10k subscribers. It's still in the works. Toho makes doing any Godzilla content on here very difficult.
The Godzilla anime trilogy is just weird, it does'nt work imo, it just feels like your average Y/A anime pretending to be a Godzilla story. I just feel Godzilla does'nt work as a anime, but maybe Singular Point can prove me wrong.
Godzilla is supposed to be the allegory of the karma that of human activities and a warning of any disconnections from the natural world, it is confusing to see the main fanbase only except every Godzilla movies to be fun & exciting sh*t and with "heroes vs villains" implement.
Every godzilla is a representation for something different. Godzilla earth is a force of nature a concept that was given to godzilla since the heisei era and has been part of him since then in most incarnations. The trilogy was aiming for female moviegoers that weren't fans of kaiju films to begin with plus toho purposely didn't want this trilogy to be traditional meanwhile shin gojira was different but still traditional for a godzilla film. Literally most godzilla films has the heroes vs villains implement. Either godzilla as the hero and other monsters as the villains or the humans as the heroes and godzilla as the villain. Only difference is that the trilogy couldn't make the humans good or the kaiju good while simultaneously appealing to women that don't even like kaiju movies.
This whole trilogy was the fucking worst
Meanwhile Singular point is pretty good
🙃excellent review
Ansley i like the anime movies godzilla Earth Whether the new godzilla Siri called godzilla singular point
Have we honestly been too harsh on this trilogy? Sure it’s basically reading 1000 page book but still, have we? Reddit treats the men behind the trilogy like they are mortal enemies.
Except they are mortal enemies
The two directors who made this trilogy Hiroyuki Seshita and Kobun Shizuno are two talentless hacks!
Saying that they are talentless hacks is too harsh honestly.
You two are everything wrong in this fandom
@@rickyrackey7930 I guess it was too harsh to say that sorry about that.
I don’t take the anime trilogy of Godzilla bad but I always wanted an anime movie of Kong that is connected to Godzilla Earth’s universe
Who Else Agrees That Godzilla The Series 1999 Was More Anime Worthly Than the Actual Anime Trilogy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My biggest gripe about this awful trilogy is godzilla himself. The concept of him being a metal plant is just silly, and he's WAY too overpowered even by godzilla standards. Especially that stupid shield of his. Its like an OC made by a 9 year old.
"He has an unbreakable energy shield"
"I use a nuke"
"Cant, he has an unbreakable energy shield"
"I use a super railgun"
"Doesnt work, he has an unbreakable energy shield"
And then he doesnt even have an atomic breath. Just another overpowered unbreatable beam he projects off his unbreakable energy shield.
Then of course we get to the main character and how stupid he is. The ONLY 2 chances he had, handed to him on a golden fucking platter to kill godzilla, he passes them both up. First with mechagodzilla city where if they just crashed their mechs into godzilla's exposed back and self destructed, they would have killed him.
Then again with ghidorah where all he had to do was NOTHING, he fucked it up.
You'd think a guy as consumed with revenge as he was would want godzilla dead at any cost, but no.
The writing of the plot and characters and power scaling of godzilla is just so damn awful.
I actually really liked this films
Gvk mechagodzilla is better than mechagodzilla in the anime because he's a City and gvk mechagodzilla is mechagodzilla
This trilogy was such a swing and miss. I especially hated what they did with mechagodzilla and ghidorah
I actually really liked the anime trilogy, despite it being disappointing
For what it was I enjoyed this series I don't think it was my absolute favorite or anything definitely some changes I would have made such as making the monster fight pay off a bit better like number one I would probably leave untouched but two and three I'd probably change up the monster action heck as cool as Ghidorah was just because it's so different from how I view Ghidorah since I don't really see him being Godzilla's most powerful enemy I would have preferenced them replacing him with a different monster like space Godzilla destroyah maybe even bagan from super Godzilla the game and for the final change I would have made I probably would have made certain things that the characters say do different in a way that made what they did make more sense I wouldn't change everything but like little things here and there just to make it feel a little more like what they're doing make more sense
I would rather watch Batman and Robin than this dumpster fire trilogy!
at least Batman and Robin has some entertainment value
@@user-mf8oy4xd8i The Anime Trilogy is Entertaining
This trilogy sucked more than Disney Star Wars trilogy.
I agree as awful as the sequel trilogy was atleast they still acted like star wars movies this trilogy felt like nothing godzilla related
I might be in the minority here but to be perfectly honest Godzilla planet of the monsters is in my top 5 Godzilla movies ever. To bad I hated the hell outta the other 2 😅😅
I like american (zilla) more than this trilogy. Too much talk, too much slow, too much poligons =/
I did like this anime but I can see the issues now
MidWit IQ opinions
Here comes the toxic anime trilogy fanboys
It has no fans at all, mate.
this trilogy just plain bored me to the point i dont have any interest ever watching them again
still a shame they didnt let studio orange make it
