There is so much G-News dropping daily that I can barely keep up, I love it!
For starters, the new G: KOTM trailer was released and it looks great, check it out below:
Also a couple of teaser posters released along with the trailer, the one on the right is a special SDCC artwork version:
Watched the Godzilla Anime Part 2, review is below:
1/2
"GOJIRA: KESSEN KIDO ZOSHOKU TOSHI" lit. "GODZILLA: THE CITY MECHANIZED FOR THE FINAL BATTLE" or "GODZILLA: BATTLE MOBILE BREEDING CITY" (2018) - dirs. Kobun Shizuno & Hiroyuki Seshita - (aka "GODZILLA PART TWO: CITY ON THE EDGE OF BATTLE")
Round two of the new anime trilogy is another slick, fantastic looking sci-fi tale that does sadly suffer from the standard middle chapter curse. After getting trounced by Godzilla Earth in Part 1, the survivors of the mission cross paths with a native tribe and a strange city that had evolved from the nanometal remains of the original Mechagodzilla. With their newfound resources they plan to take on the King a second time. So this is an enjoyable entry with some overall improvements to animation quality, it's not quite as clunky as the previous entry but is still choppy at times. Characters are given a bit more focus and development, unfortunately at the expense of the Kaiju sequences this time around. We only have one full-out action sequence in the third act, the rest is plot and world-building. The plot itself is more muddled with this entry, with the MechaGodzilla city a unique but awkward story choice. Godzilla is very commanding and impressive though he is limited to the end of the third act, and we get hints of Mothra and Ghidorah for the final part. A very minor step down but this trilogy remains an enjoyable experiment so far. Looking forward to how Part 3 wraps everything up.
SHMA and NECA both have a '62 Goji coming out, and NECA will be releasing the Kaiju from G:KOTM as well. I have a few new additions to the collection that I will update probably in August when I go back to usual routine after summer is over.
