Shin Godzilla #12: it's Belmular in disguise edition.

>Anno can't make any media without defaulting to making it 90% Evangelion rehash

>Anno is also a retarded Right Winger and likely pro Zeon

Oh Anno, you're such a fucking hack

So can someone explain the Stuff that comes out of his tail at the end of the movie?

>>14564780
It's the plot explanations Yuu Watase forgot to include at the end of Ayashi no Ceres.

>>14564756
This meme has gotten annoying.

>>14564811
It's not necessarily untrue all his stuff has the same thematic format.

>>14564818
And what is that?

>>14564756
I don't see how the new Godzilla is like evangelion at all, sans obvious little references like the beams and the music.

>Getting all angry and buttblasted that Goji is shooting purple lasers all over and other crazy shit

Did tadpole Godzilla eat them intentionally, or did they get absorbed wholesale while he was thrashing around and struggling to stand up?

Has there been any comments about Godzilla's roar?

Did the japanese government ever discern what Godzilla was after in this movie? I heard he walks right past a nuclear plant and don't absorb it.

Shin Godzilla will likely end up becoming one of the most successful Japanese Godzilla films of all time. When will Tsuburaya be hiring Anno to save Ultraman?

They'd have to pay for his funeral first, being offered the chance to direct an Ultraman would make him explode.

Ultra Mega Super Spoilers: https://m.reddit.com/r/GODZILLA/comments/4vhk70/super_spoilers_a_detailed_technical_description/

TL;DR:
Godzilla, was a collection of ancient mixotrophs that feed off of the radioactive waste that was dumped to the bottom of the sea, causing them to converge and evolve into a giant living dinosaur from hell. It also note that Goji reproduce like a starfish, bit and pieces can flake off and become more of those tadpolzillas. Godzilla, like its previous incarnations, have a nuclear reactor deep inside it; but using its nuclear attacks cause it to waste too much energy, causing it to hibernate for days.

As for the tail, it was never explained, but it could be a metaphor that everyone's Godzilla one way or another.

>>14565387

>>14565396

yeah but those international releases were probably setup up in advance, I'm pretty sure the international releases for this one were only solidified just now, based on the strength of the japanese release, because just a few weeks ago it was mostly announced there were no plans for international release

Why are there people so butthurt about supposed right wing / nationalist themes in the movie?

>>14565423

Leftists are conceited and believe they are the moral center of the world.

>>14565423
Liberal cucks are terrified at the growing fire of nationalism spreading these days.

>>14565428
They're also immensely paranoid, and see differing opinions as direct threats to their ideologies. See tumblr for one prime example.

Because it's just fucking dumb to put SUPERIOR NIPPON BANZAI shit in a franchise that thrives on international sales. It'd be like Transformers throwing anti-Chinese themes into their next movie, because fuck the country where we make all kinds of money.

Regardless of how you feel about it personally or philosophically, it's dumb to even touch upon nationalism and especially anti-Americanism in a franchise that normally makes money internationally and especially in America. That's just throwing away free money and dragging down the amount that the movie could make, which will lead to eother no sequels or lower budget sequels.

Not him but from what I've heard it sounds like the movie makes an argument for Japan's rearmament.

>>14565868

people complained about military circle jerk in the '14 movie, too. what's the big deal?

The Godzilla movies have always had a nationalistic streak to them, he's just using Anno as an excuse to bitch about them.

Pay him no heed, he'll wander off to TK to mingle with the rest of the window lickers soon just like Billy did.

>>14565868
It's the same as the first Independence Day movie. Japanese movie made in Japan featuring the JSDF fighting makes it nationalism to SJW's.

@HccvJPE8Dk: Rewatched godzilla the things at the end are NOT human they have fins and weird xenomorph like heads (no eyes)

>>14565885
Because THE MASTER ANNO THE MAN WHOSE ONLY WORK HAS BEEN EVANGELION FOR THE PAST 2 DECADES CAN'T HAVE MADE A BAD MOVIE

I mean, isn't it pathetic?

All Anno has been able to make in two decades is Eva? When Tomino just kept chugging out new stuff? And the first new thing Anno makes REEKS of reused assets from Evangelion?

It's pathetic.

He hasn't produced anything new in all this time. He remade Evangelion with prettier animation but a more shallow story.

He gets Godzilla and he shoves fucking Evangelion music into it and makes a lol2deep4u ending tease.

At the time, I was still recovering from EVA 3.0, and right on the spot, flatly refused the offer, It’s impossible. Even to begin work on the next EVA is impossible."[14] However, Toho's sincerity and his longtime friend and co-director, Shinji Higuchi eventually convinced him to accept the offer in March 2013.[14] Anno had also refused the offer due to a lack of confidence, stating, "I refused (the offer) since I didn’t have confidence that I could exceed the first film or come close to equaling it. But I thought that if I were to come close even a little, I would have to do the same thing (as the first film)."[15]

>>14566158
Fair point I suppose, but it got more hype than most of the Millennium films did (probably because it was a Hollywood film) and Japan or Toho sent America their happy endorsement of Legendary Godzilla and spiritually "inducted" him as an official Gody-bro.

That was a news reporter testing the motion capturing stuff out for a television program. Mansai Nomura, a male actor, portrayed Godzilla in the actual film.

so were the tail people at the end of the movie supposed to be the next 'form' of godzilla? did they always exist in his tail, or did they form once godzilla was finally hurt by the u.s. bombers/frozen by the japs? if godzilla remained unfrozen longer, would he have broken down into the smaller tail people? i'm sure this isn't answered at all in the movie.

It made over half a billion worldwide andhas a 74% on RT. How is that not successful?

>>14566216
I often see Shin Godzilla hate tied to comments like "why did Toho do this after America got it right" or some other comparison between the two most recent films. But I'm sure there are some Edwards fans who have been either neutral or supportive of Anno's new film.

And G14's worldwide total suggests audiences weren't all that impressed. It had huge opening weekends ($93 million in the US) in numerous markets and only brought in a bit over $500 million.

>>14566216
>That was rather successful and well-received? Why you gotta make this into a contest? Dont pool everyone that's hating the success as Edwards fans.

Person who absolutely hated 2014, here.

It was pretty successful, about $500 million worldwide on a $160 million budget if I recall correctly. It's also the first Godzilla except for 1954 to be fresh on RottenTomatoes.

Don't get me wrong, the movie sucks, but it was successful and well-received. That's not a thing that I can dispute, I just think it shouldn't have been.

>>14566230
Adjusted for inflation it actually did worse than 1998 in the US, but more worldwide. People underestimate how well 1998 actually did theatrically. Just because fans hate it doesn't mean that the general public does.

And that as the ultimate lifeform he might have overcome even death makingh the only wats to deal with him freeZing or complete incineration via nuke

>>14566305
It's a toss-up. EVA's biggest problem is it's weak weaponry, only the longer range stuff like the positron cannon and that rifle Mari used in 3.0 would do any damage. Thankfully Godzilla's beam isn't very accurate and gets worse the farther it goes. There's probably some power drop-off there too. So the strategy would be to shoot from long-range and hope he doesn't hit you, or get someone to tank it like Rei did with Ramiel.

>>14566361
>Eight Times the genetic data as humans

Does DNA work like that? Because I don't think DNA works like that.

What the fuck did I just read?

Are they so cucked that autism is a bad word now? This is 4chan, everyone here has autism, and if you don't you'll catch it soon enough.

Surely they were jesting, right?

So yeah, I watched Shin Godzilla a second time. It holds up to a second viewing within such a short time perfectly fine- The film constantly bombards you with loads of audio and visual information (dozens of people talking at the same time, loads of text on the screen, etc.), and I'd say it's impossible to pick up everything in one viewing.

There's also lots of attention to small details, like how when a guy in an electronics store is watching a press conference on Godzilla, all of the TVs are set to different channels but one of them has a cartoon playing instead of the conference, a reference to how TV Tokyo doesn't give a shit about anything and leaves their scheduled programming on regardless of what happens (if you understand Japanese, google テレ東伝説).

One thing I missed in the first viewing because I wasn't familiar with the word was that by making his blood coagulate, Godzilla goes into a reactor SCRAM (they use the word "SCRAM", yes).

>>14566370
The word was 遺伝情報 which wikipedia is telling me includes mRNA and protein and a bunch of other stuff.

Anyway what they say in the film is that he has eight times more of that than humans, which makes him the most advanced life-form on the planet.

>>14566439
I feel like I'm on Toho Kingdom.

And yeah, posted from my phone just now, but the things at the end are NOT human- they have fins and weird xenomorph like heads (no eyes).

Godzilla's second form's arm stubs are actually the arms folded up to the chest, and they unfold from the chest when he evolves. It's kind of like Eva #13 I guess.

The film's climax is really the midpoint where Godzilla uses his beam for the first time, the final confrontation just isn't as impressive.

One thing I'm worried about is how the film is VERY Japanese. It may be being released overseas but it clearly wasn't made with that in mind at all- It's filled with stuff only people living here would get, like the PM putting on blue overalls for press conferences, or the TV Tokyo thing I mentioned above.

And while I previously said that it's clearly not right-wing like some dumbfucks are saying, I just want to clarify that that DOESN'T mean it doesn't have loads of military hardware porn, because it does.

>>14566441
He's basically a living fission reactor, and his blood and fins are the reactor's cooling system. They need to make a thing that forces his blood to coagulate, so that he goes into a SCRAM and freezes himself (in the end it's stated that he's down to -195℃).

>The film's climax is really the midpoint where Godzilla uses his beam for the first time, the final confrontation just isn't as impressive.

The scene where he uses the beam for the first time is the bit where you see him glowing in the middle of Tokyo where all the powers is out.

The US B2 bombers hit him with bunker busters which do damage to him for the first time. He suddenly starts glowing, bends over, and this starts playing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uirF6FDKxSU [Embed]

He starts breathing a black smog (also his eyes kind of glaze over with some liquid which looks really creepy) which covers a massive area, and then it ignites into fire which basically has the same effect as the wall of fire caused by Independence Day's city destroyers' beams. The fire he's breathing then starts to concentrate into a purple beam, and then he raises his head and cuts through one of the bombers.

The remaining two bombers circle round and drop more bombs but then he stops firing the beam and bends over again and fires tons of beams from his back which destroy all the bombs and bombers. He then starts going nuts with his mouth beam again slicing through buildings and such and this also hits the helicopter the PM and most of the cabinet are on. The last shot is that one picture that was also in the pamphlet that has been posted here before, of Godzilla in the middle of a sea of fire in front of Tokyo station.

The sound effects fade out midway through the scene too so in the end it's just the music and visuals.

I really think it's the one single best scene I've ever seen in a Godzilla movie.

>>14566455

Godzilla being frozen at the end is such classic monster movie tradition I'm amazed Anno did it so genuinely. Easy as fuck sequel bait.

I want to know more about them skellies. Do they just look like a random mix of bones or are they more "developed", as in having a distinguishable upper body for example? Are they embedded into his flesh or do they at least partially hang free?

>>14566420
>>14566439
Most Godzilla threads on every board are crap. All this /m/ versus /co/ fighting feels like one mound of shit shittalking another mound of shit, especially since there's a lot of crossboard overlap in their own flavor of autism. At least all this TK drama is thankfully mostly confined to threads on here.

Also, I was wondering when the guy who obsesses over that /co/ screencap is gonna show up again, I swear these threads are going in circles.

>>14566464
So are his beams more laser-like and slice through shit like butter, or is like his usual beams, but thinner?

>>14566470
People are complaining about the spine lasers but I think it's a pretty logical counter Godzilla has to things flying over the blind spot.

>>14566490
From what I saw, it slices right through everything. But isn't that basically what his normal beam, super concentrated, would do anyway?

>>14566484

/m/ has problems but would sooner post here on the worst day than /co/. There isn't as much overlap as you want to believe either.

They are clear humanoids, I thought they were just human skeletons on my first viewing because they're only seen for like five seconds.

They're partially embedded, I don't THINK any legs are seen but once again, roughly five seconds, could be wrong. Entire upper torsos are definitely seen though.

All of them are reaching upwards (towards the tip of the tail which is pointing up, or perhaps towards the sky).

>>14566490

"Laser" would be more appropriate than "beam" yes.

>>14566502
I've seen the same sort of pics and memes posted on both boards, and both /co/ and /m/ fags seem to get carried away with sexy kaiju girl fanart from time to time. Although from what I've seen, /co/'s more open about wanting to fuck kaiju, but I've also seen that kind of degeneracy show up here.

For me, all the threads that got taken over by literally hundreds of fags losing their shit over TK and forcing it into every discussion are the worst. Mind you, that site and community deserves shitting on, but still.

>>14566505
Thanks. That's kinda how I imagined them to look like. Freaky shit that I'm strangely okay with.

>>14566518
Yes they have the fins.

They don't do anything, they're completely stationary, just in poses in which they're reaching upwards.

This is obviously just my opinion, but I got the impression that it looked very religious, somewhat resembling Rodin's Gates of Hell.

The scene is completely silent, with the camera just panning upwards on the tail until you see them. It cuts to black before it reaches the tip.

>>14566530
I don't know why we even talk about them. It seems /m/ REEEEs about TK more than 4chan in general REEEEs about Reddit.

And yes there's no explanation at all about what this could be. Looking online, there are people who think they might be the next stage in Godzilla's evolution, or corpses he absorbed, or maybe Godzilla himself is made up of dead people.

What's Re:Zero by the way, keep seeing people mention it but don't keep up with anything that doesn't have robots or kaiju.

>>14566592
>the boat
The boat belongs to a professor who went missing named Maki Gorou. He's the guy who discovered and may or may not have "unleashed" Godzilla as a test for Japan, because he thinks Japan failed and killed his wife with radioactive waste (I can't quite recall the fine details regarding his wife).

He'd been "exiled" from Japanese academia and had been working at an American energy research organisation, and when Godzilla was discovered it was that research organisation that was in charge of investigating it. So yeah, the Americans had his research data (and thus had known about Godzilla for some time).

He seems to be really important to the plot and yet is barely mentioned, and it's never confirmed what exactly happened to him (his empty boat was found with the message "I did as I wanted. Now it's your turn.", but that's it). May or may not be stuff left for a sequel.

>>14566533
Almost wish I hadn't read that. Already knew about the skellys but now I know exactly how the scene plays out.

Now we'll just see if it matches my imagination.

>>14566628
My JP wasn't good enough to put 2 and 2 together and connect to boat to the scene with the photos of the waste dumping. Who are the two Godzilla otaku that appear through the film? I really liked the entire cast, even the stubborn Olds.

>>14566628
Oh right I forgot to mention: The coagulant they'd been working on had a high possibility of being neutralised by Godzilla, and when they go through Maki's data they discover that some of it is of the molecular structure of an extremophile that can hold back the effects of Godzilla's cell membrane that would make the coagulant stop working, and so they use the data to make a suppressant so that the coagulant will work. What the data is is a mystery for the most part of the film because it's a load of data printed out on a massive sheet of paper and they have no idea what it means, but it turns out that the paper was supposed to be folded like origami to be properly understood.

>>14566628
>Blaming an entire country and not the specific individuals for toxic waste dumping

>>14566650
>Who are the two Godzilla otaku that appear through the film?
No idea who you're talking about. Yaguchi and Akasaka?

>>14566658
The old guy with all the sheets of paper who figures out the origami thing and the younger guy who goes apeshit over the radiation trail. I still don't get that part, was Godzilla just like the Legendary kaiju and just sniffing out radiation to absorb?

Oh and regarding Godzilla himself: The initial research data the Americans had was that he was some sort of ancient aquatic life-form that ate radioactive waste. It turns out that he's a mixotroph with some sort of thermonuclear conversation organ thing that can survive for as long as he has air and water.

>>14566664
Those guys are just people on Yaguchi's team.

The younger guy going nuts was him realising that the radiation was being spread by Godzilla (they discovered radiation after the first attack but didn't know where it came from, and the younger guy was pointing out that the spread matched Godzilla's trail).

The old guy was a civilian expert (a college professor) helping out, Yaguchi's team was a mix of loads of people.

Oh right, Godzilla spreads tons of radiation all over but after he's frozen they find out that it has a really short half-life and should be totally gone in 2-3 years.

Pretty much, it's /a/'s latest "forced shitstorm" show because retards were saying it's a "deconstruction" of the isekai genre/shows like SAO.

It'll fade into obscurity like Guilty Crown and Valvrave once it finishes

>>14566737

It isn't immortality though, nor would even being an internet toughguy make you forget what having your guts flayed out felt like.

I say forced simply because the shows so fucking bland and meandering.

Oh! He's died again!
Oh! He's crying like a bitch again!
Oh! He literally lacks any ability to rationalize or problem solve an easily navigable curse.

The show will either end with him manning up or failing. It's just how fucking long they're going to take to get there.

>>14566843
>an easily navigable curse

Since you are watching the show, what do you think is easily navigable about his current situation?

>>14566852
It might suck to die, but you ain't staying that way it's like being able to load saves irl.

>>14566874
So you were just talking out of your ass.

>>14566852
There are courses of action.

Sell himself as a prophet through use of foreknowledge. Begin developing and taking notes of certain occurrences to use to his advantage and to convince others.

Grim Grimoire and All you need is Kill are examples of people not being stupid.

His ability doesn't allow him to retain muscle memory, so that means he has to fucking work on his mind and skills. Figure out shit. Understand shit. Research shit. Don't get caught up in bullshit because people aren't taking you seriously when you don't have anything to work with.

Retards just think he's "realistic" because he's a fucking whiny bitch who self flagellates rather than disconnects and tries to get shit done.

>>14566891
Your answer boils down to dying until the MC figures it out, because you didn't address his situation at all.

Pretty good dad

Legendzilla was awesome!
No one in the history of kaiju movies has ever watched one to hear the nonsense that oozes out of the human's faceholes.
USA bombed Japan = Heroic Godzilla
Japan gets rent by U.S. = Oh SHITzilla

It's all Godzilla, FUCKING enjoy it or your stupid whining will kill the 60+ year franchise.
To the roody poo who thinks Any SHIT anime character > Godzilla.
Read Godzilla in Hell and revaluate your life.

Japan gets rent from the is?
Why the hell do they still have shit cgi then?

Any scientific explanation why it takes on the final form of a dinosaur when there are no fucking dinosaurs in the ocean? Or were the said mixotorphs actually much, much older?

But there were anon.

Well that's wrong.

The thing labelled as the second form there is CLEARLY the wrong colour (both second and third form are the same "raw meat" red), and the thing labelled as the third form is wrong too because it's supposed to have arms and stand up straight.

Odd.

Those are the "kaijuu A and B" toys FYI.

Oh right the waste dumping mentioned as the cause is said to have been from 60 years ago.

>>14567024
>spinosaurus
>ocean

??????

Either way, maybe him absorbing some mysterious and unknown ancient marine reptiles could make sense, but that still wouldn't explain why he looks like a terrestrial dinosaur/reptile.

>>14567038
No eyes, tops of heads are smooth with just one line down the middle. Pretty much xenomorphs, except with the heads not elongated. The tip of the tail isn't shown either, it cuts to black halfway up.

So why does Godzilla emerge on land to begin with? I've seen some people mention that he just wanders around aimlessly like some phased-out zombie, and that half the time he doesn't even react when the military fires at him.

What's attracting him to Japan? Nuclear power plants? The large concentration of people for absorption? Attempting to find a location to reproduce via splitting his body apart?

>>14567026
Okay I'm clearly not understanding

How many forms of Godzilla are there? Which are these two?

>>14567056
Completely unknown. Attacking a reactor is speculated early on because he ate radioactive waste before but it's later discovered that he can survive with perpetually with just air and water. He doesn't acknowledge humans at all until the US drops the bunker busters on him.

Oh right, I forgot to mention- After he goes dormant after spending all his energy wrecking the three wards, he still has some sort of phased array radar and CIWS active. At one point we're shown footage of him taken by a drone, and when it gets too close a beam just shoots out of his back and destroys it (he doesn't wake up, himself).

Also his first retreat is because he hasn't evolved fully yet and his cooling system isn't fully functional (he has to go back into the sea to cool himself off)

Supposedly his first form is a tadpole thing, but this is never seen aside from the tail.

When he first attacks Yokohama and Kamata he's already in his second form. Pic is supposed to be his second form but the colour is wrong (it's actually reddish). The one picture of him blurred from the pamphlet is of the second form.

>>14567072
After smashing stuff up a bit he stops, and then his surface starts shimmering (REALLY bad CG there, worst in the whole film) and he stands upright, and his arm-stubs unfold from the chest to reveal that they're actual arms. That's his third form.

Pic is supposed to be a toy of the third form but it's missing the arms and is still hunched over (he stands upright like regular Godzilla).

The one picture seen of him in the background while four helicopters take aim at him is of the third form.

Fourth form is just the "regular" form plastered everywhere.

>>14567067

I've heard the film is more of a collaborative group effort than having any main stars, are they all focused on one plot thread or are there different sort of, groups who follow up different aspects of the story?

Also could you explain what roles the other countries had in the plot? I heard different things from different people.

>>14567072
Ahhh, okay then.

Yeah the color's accurate, just not well detailed. I'm looking at the leak pic right now, it's very close.

>>14567078
Arms are there, just sculpted on to the body.

>>14567086
this i am curious about too. that is what i disliked the most about 2014

>>14567086
First half mostly follows the Japanese government under the PM. They get wiped out by Godzilla and the second half follows the protagonist Yaguchi and his team.

It's a group effort by his team, one guy realises how Maki's data is supposed to be read, another notices the link between Godzilla and radiation, another goes around persuading factories to help produce the coagulant in time, etc. And of course they don't actually do anything besides watch in the showdown which is carried out by SDF forces and US drones.

>other countries
China and Russia are first mentioned as wanting to take "control" of Godzilla away from Japan and put it under an international committee, then later on they lead the charge in wanting to nuke Godzilla (though that's something US president Charles Ross wants as well). Do note that while the president wants to nuke him the US military personnel, ambassador, some "dignitary" Ishihara's character knows, and Ishihara's character herself are all against it.

France helps to delay the nuclear strike after the replacement PM asks them for help, and Germany lends Yaguchi's team use of their supercomputers' processing power to go through Maki's data.

>>14567088
I recall the second form being darker and redder than that, and I'm still not seeing the arms on the third form. Eh.

>>14567100

So the US military helps out despite the disagreement?

Before the final confrontation Kayoko mentions that the navy and marines and air force all want to help out with the operation to freeze Godzilla.

Air force drones and cruise missiles fired from ships are used (the drones are used to make him waste energy shooting them and their missiles down, the cruise missiles are helped to knock buildings down on him).

>>14567116
Does Godzilla in any stage blink or close his eyes?

Maybe my memory is just fucked or something but I'm still not convinced that it's not just that picture having odd lighting or something.

And yeah the third form's toy still clearly has the stupid stumps, my entire point is that in that form he's supposed to unfold them completely into arms (hard make out but you can see his right arm clearly hanging freely in this picture).

and for the love of fucking god they're not fucking leaks jesus christ

>>14567122
The first time he uses his breath (when he starts blowing out the black smog) we're given a close-up shot of what looks like one of his eyes glazing over with some black liquid, otherwise not that I can recall.

What the fuck Anno?

>>14567123
Does he move normally or shambles around, like the mutated whatever thing he is?

>>14567148
Third form stands upright and moves normally

Second forms runs around with its head shaking around stupidly looking retarded, head movement kind of looks like Showa era tokusatsu puppet with head controlled by strings (I liked it, it matches the tone of the early parts of the film where it appears)

>>14566305
A normal Eva vs. Godzilla would be a complete toss-up. Godzilla has the advantage of size, weight, and stamina but lacks maneuverability. A more advanced Eva like Mark.06 or Mark.09 would give him a hard time but a fully awakened Eva would kick his ass.

>>14567183

>(I liked it, it matches the tone of the early parts of the film where it appears)

Does the third form really stand upright? It just stands up when it changes, then falls back down and starts crawling once it moves again.

>>14567419
He did bend back down when running away but was otherwise standing upright, though now that I think about it I can't recall if he actually moved after standing up.

Either way he's standing up for most of his screentime in that form.

It's a massively contentious topic in Japan, remember, the last time Japan thrust itself militarily on the global level, it ended up committing mass genocide and having fucking NUKES dropped on it, there is still the massive issue of Japan claiming it dindu nuthin during WW2 wrong so people, even progressive Japanese, are very paranoid of what a pro-military Japanese Government could do when it's obvious they haven't learned their lesson from the past.

On a political level as well, Japans left aren't your typical slightly progressive centrist social democrats you get in the west, the Japanese left are radical and far-left for the most part, there is far more class consciousness among the Japanese left than there is the western left, meaning the left pushback in Japan is much more radical as well (though the Diet and Japanese politics is dominated by the traditionalist right wing)

The idea that Anno is right wing though is laughable. Anno and his peers have militant far-left wing histories, Anno's mentor was a Marxist, End of Evangelion has a massive feminist critique of toxic Otaku and geek culture right at the forefront.
Anno is 100% not right wing or pro Abe. It would be a massive 180 views he's expressed in the past.

I remember in Gamera: Guardian of the Universe Gyaos was considered the perfect lifeform because it had exactly one DNA pair. DNA is just weird in kaiju movies.

>>14565761

Yeah, it's actually the highest live-action grossing film in Japan this year, although barely beating out Independance Day: Resurgence for that award.

If it can hold strong against the Jungle Book next weekend a sequel is inevitable.

>>14567498
That makes sense though. It only had one pair because it was created by man and didn't need to evolve.

>>14564749
>sequel is inevitable.
I think it already is. Obvs without Anno.

>>14567535
>Obvs without Anno.


Eh, we'll see. Higuchi or Shinya Tsukamoto seems to be the front-runners otherwise.

Does Godzilla get another form after the one we've seen in the promo material or is that it?

>>14567539
I loved Attack on Titan, so I would be A-okay with Higuchi. I would probably even prefer just him over Anno.

Is the Parco Ad music part of the actual OST, or just used only for the Ad?
