Monster Discussion #2: Anguirus (Showa)

[Mike55 v2]

Anguirus is my fifth favorite godzilla monster including godzilla because
A.He has alot of personality
B.His species is quite orignal being a carnivorus ankylosaur with spikes on his back.tail, and head
C.He is kind of cute in godzilla vs gigan

[HayesAJones]

I absolutely adore Anguirus. My favorite monsters, besides Godzilla himself of course. He's loyal, determined, tenacious, fearless in the face of danger... a classic underdog. I really just can't fully express how much I love ol' Angy.

[Hellspawn28]

Anguirus is a great monster, once a foe of Godzilla then now a friend. His design is good, and he is a classic monster. Nothing else to say about him other then I wish he would have been in the Heisei series.

Not big on the 1955 design, but the '68 look is how future suits should be based on. I hope we see him in the future.

[Showa Gyaos]

^^I agree. I loved Anguirus' design in his later incarnations, but his appearance in FW was ugly.

[EleKaiju]

Anguirus is awesome, especially in DAM. He's one of my favorites. I like the body of the GFW Anguirus, but the suit's head is bleh in comparison to the concept art.

[Hedorah]

Well even though Anguirus already has 2 threads, you can never get enough of him! Anguirus is definietlely one of my favorite, always has, always will be. And I mean the Showa versions, not the shit FW design. He is dedicated to saving the world, and whenever Godzilla is around, he will fight to the death. He's got a lot of heart and courage.

[Primevalgodzilla V2]

Anguirus Showa had an awesome, life-like, and ferocious suit. He really looks like the kaiju version of a guard dog. He's in all technicality the best ally the big G's got, but I prefer Rodan.

Anguirus Millenium is overall a very good update, but I'm not that fond on the head.

I had no problem with it. I'd just like to see him become Godzilla's friend again.

You should change the picture to that of the 55 Anguirus, and do a seperate talk thread of 60-70 Anguirus. To me, Anguirus stole the show in his last two true appearances, 72 and 74, litterally building up to the bravery in 1968's DAM.

[edgaguirus]

Anguirus is a classic monster. He's well designed and has a lot of spirit. Angy doesn't have much in the way of attacking an enemy, but he runs in with all he has- and you can't help but admire that.

Strongly considered it, but ultimately decided most fans don't even regard GRA Anguirus much anyway, and it'd be a waste of a thread.

[TokyoVigilante]

I like how 55' Anguirus' eyes are kinda' beady and creepy looking. But the later Showa era one is just an overall improvement of the original.

As for FW Anguirus. I'm a big fan of it. It's head and stocky body reminds me a lot of a Boar/Warthog, which I think is a great source to draw from. Matches his aggression and tenacity.

And we all know one thing, when Anguirus falls from the sky you know shit is gonna go down!

Quit stating the obvious, man!

The 1968 version of Angilas is one of my absolute favorite monsters. I just love the design and the movies he appears in are some of my favorite. Do I give a shit about his win/loss ratio or how well he fights? Absolutely not. He's just a cool monster. And the nose horn and fangs are two key aspects of the monster's head. Not sure what the suit makers for GFW were thinking when they made them so small on that version of Angilas.

[DrKaiju1954]

Anguirus is my favorite kaiju EVER.I love the showa version the best,the millenium version is mediocre looking at best.

If you were on the GFW production team, then you didn't think to begin with

[GodzillavsJason]

Angurius FTW!
A.He has lots of personality
B. He has a great design
C. He's loyal
D. Everything else
Too bad he wasn't in the Heisei era it would have been great if he appear somewhere. Also i wish he was in the final battle with Godzilla in Final wars instead of goodie little too shoes Mothra.

[alienhulk2099]

He's like one of the few kaiju I find over rated; he does NOTHING! Well, aside from getting beaten and having a nice update in Final Wars.

How is Angurius over rated? Hes like the sixth most famous Toho monster in the world. Also their are monsters that are way more over rated than him. Like Varan, Megagurrius, Monster x, and Zilla is the most obscure one of the all. If your saying Anguriurs just gets beat up all the time your wrong. Zilla is the one who gets beaten up, he gets killed by two missiles, and gets easily killed by Godzilla.
