Having released a few anime Godzilla movies already, Netflix Japan have now ordered a full on series starring their most famous monster. In this instance, it will be unrelated to the current movies.

The previous Netflix Godzilla anime was definitely weird (https://miscrave.com/articles/godzilla-anime/) but not horrible. I'm willing to see where this goes, especially since it won't be three movies in a trilogy but something ordered from Netflix from the beginning.

That thing went in a REALLY weird direction. I watched the first movie but it felt. . . not like a Godzilla movie. Didn't Ghidorah show up in the 3rd one? I should really give it a shot.

Love Godzilla stuff but had a hard time with the animes on Netflix. It might be the animation style or the story, I'm not sure. I made it as far as whatever one he fights a giant mechanized city, IIRC.

The anime trilogy continues that weird direction but if you can warm up to the fact that it's not a normal godzilla movie but a space post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie with godzilla rather than a godzilla anime, it has some cool stuff but yeah things only never get "normal", it feels like an 80s scifi anime.

I have difficulty with that sort of weird, slow moving CGi animation. The art direction and designs are great, but the actual style used in the animation? It's like a strange, PS2 generation hybrid of graphics and animation. It's getting better though - most recently the new GITS on Netflix looks like this - so does Transformers. It's strange. Reminds me of Tron Bonne or Mega Man Legends on the PSone.

I really gotta remember to check those out. I know they got mixed reviews but I wanna see them anyway. They certainly sound "different".

I would love a real Godzilla anime, not another CGI animated movie/mini-series. Though I don't have a lot of hope for something from Netflix.
