Just for fun: Let's talk about a potential Godzilla anime.

[o.supreme]

Always good to see a dream I've had for so long reappear in multiple threads, this is at least the 4th time . As I've always said, a Godzilla anime would be great if done by Go Nagai.

As far as what has been stated earlier in this thread, no particular era in Anime history or genre should be overgeneralized. My personal favorite era is 1972 to 1983. I'll agree that the "look" of the anime form late 80's to 1994 was probably the best (more OVA's and less TV series) but they should not be stereotyped by ultra violence and hentai like scenes. There were some decent anime of that time as well. I dont really like the look of most modern anime with few exceptions, and those usully fall into a genre I usually am already familiar with, I dont think there is a totaly "New" anime that has impressed me (as in not based on something else) in quite some time.

A Kiryu themed anime would be interesting.

What would you guys think of a Godzilla anime if the design on the right was used?:

No, just no.

[Kiryu2012]

I wouldn't mind a Godzilla anime. It would actually work better than the films since Godzilla's design and abilities could work better without the need for CGI. I could easily expect a Godzilla anime being made, and it would probably make Godzilla a more dangerous opponent.

[Megaton17]

No, just no.

Gotcha. Thanks for being polite about it; I was half expecting a flame war and/or massive butthurt.

So I heard a rumor once many years ago that Cartoon Network had acquired the rights to make a Gamera cartoon.
that was like10 years ago or something. Would have been cool I but guess it was just a rumor.

I've heard this too, I believe it was right around the time Gamera: The Brave was released.

I wouldn't mind one. Maybe it could be a light comedy/slice of life about the monsters living in their own modern day city on Monster island. Destroying human cities would be like their part time jobs or something.

No, just no.

Actually that looked pretty good.

Really? Well, everyone has different tastes I suppose.

Ya, you said the one on the right? Godzilla Trinity or somethin?

Looks fine.

Considering this forum is one of the more "conservative" places regarding Godzilla, this surprises me.

And yes, Godzilla Trinity, though the head is supposed to look like this:

...Before anyone talks shit about that design note that I'm considering turning it into an original character and NOT GODZILLA. I'm gonna go for an homage style character like Lizzy from Rampage or Togera from War of the Monsters.

[Mincecraft]

^Well, I would keep the head for Trinity the way it is. That new one looks too much like a Jurassic Park Raptor.

I think it was around 2006 as well. The last season of Justice League Unlimited featured an opening battle with a very Gamera-like Turtle in Japan. Of course it was never named, but fans knew what it was.

[JAGzilla]

^ I love that scene. They even had it fly in rotating saucer-mode like Gamera. One of the best kaiju homages ever.

That scene's awesome. Too bad we never got a Gamera cartoon.

I guess I can just keep the head for the homage style character.

Also, what would you guys think of a Guyver style G anime? (minus the excessive violence, maybe as violent as Heisei films)

Hmm, I guess it could work. The kaiju could move and act the way we'd expect them to, and the battles could be better as well.

[o.supreme]

Depends on which Guyver you are talking about.

I really like the 2006 series, but the OVA of the 90's still has better animation IMHO. Anything by Go Nagai is still my first choice, but something like Guyver would be a close second.
