so..it's going to be subbed?

I've read that's going to be dubbed in some languages (I can remember the number exactly but English is sure one) and dubbed in more.

Well.

I actually quite liked that. I though the animation on the humans was good, not too clunky or uncanny-valley. I liked the tech designs, though I almost facepalmed at the retractable helmets squashing everyone's floppy hair over their eyes. The story was decent; the biggest bugbear (in the story and overall) was that I got fairly strong Attack on Titan vibe, early on. A show I tried to like, with an interesting proposition and plot, but drove me mad with atrocious scripting and characters. Fortunately, barring a few talking heads in the first half, Godzilla carried on at a decent clip, delivering a somewhat similar scenario without characters constantly wailing and screaming...

Godzilla himself, herself, itself: satisfying. The specific design is still a bit doofy, and the animation a bit more 'Reboot' than with the humans; but I have to say that I really enjoyed the sense of it, the effect of a titanic organism moving across the landscape and partimg all before it. In a few places, I think they got a feeling of a mountain turning it's head and noticing you that I don't think has been achieved so well since 1954. This Godzilla, per the premise, is an extinction level event; not the 'savior of the city'.

At least it didn't look near as bad as the other creatures. :P

And I geeked out at the end.

I'd say a good 4/5 , some typical anime tropes were there, the main Godzilla antagonist was  a bit boring design-wise. At the moment of "his" impending doom I swear it felt more like a Black Labrador staring at the screen. The later one made up for that.  A ton of things went on so if you blinked you missed something.  I'm surprised Orga was used since you know, it was an alien as well?

Finished it this morning. It was very... space sci-fi for a kaiju film. Was also kinda disappointed there weren't more types of kaiju. Were those dragon things supposed to be Rodan? With only two real designs they probably saved on SFX budget.

Servum are supposed to be derived from Godzilla because they all share the same DNA.

What a weird design for Godzilla. It looks like the lovechild of the one from the 2014 movie and a Bull Terrier. That dog like snout specially kind of throws me off but I appreciate to attempt to do something different. I also expect a little more variety on those "Godzilla spawns" apart from these lame dragon thingies.

The plot is alright, I guess.
