Godzilla: Singular Point (Netflix Anime)

[ZariusTwo]

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 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.
