I saw Funimation's limited release in the theaters back in October, but I can't remember if the in-film title card said "SHIN GODZILLA" in the tall thin lettering or "シン・ゴジラ" in the blocky katakana with a subtitle? Does anyone recall what was shown?

It was the Japanese version, complete with the katakana titles.

At the same time I kinda hope the other foreign actors aren't dubbed. Just to add a more "international" feel to the film.

Lets see...

Kent Williams is Dr Gero, Android 13, Old Kai and Supreme Kai in Dragonball Z and George the Ogre in Yuyu Hakusho

J Michael Tatum is Zarbon in Dragonball Kai

Jeremy Inman is Android 16 in Dragonball Z

Todd Haberkorn in Jaco the Galactic Patrolman in Dragonball Super and Dragonball Z: Resurrection F

R. Bruce Elliott is the current voice of Captain Ginyu

Of course John Burgmeier is Tien in Dragonball and most famously Kurama in Yuyu Hakusho
Ian Sinclair, dub voice for Whis is also there.
I can't believe that Godzilla was the only surviving member of its species, but if we continue conducting nuclear tests, it's possible that another Godzilla might appear somewhere in the world again.

I thought TV MA was used for television shows not movies. I've watched shin Godzilla, and its nowhere close to TV MA.

It's the blood. Ratings boards get colossal conniption fits over red blood.

Yeah its probably the blood. That's why Pacific Rim colored their kaiju blood neon blue.

Funimation probably uses TV ratings as their default rating system because they mostly release TV shows. Even the AoT films were TV-MA, but of course, that was more justified.

August 1st. Excellent!

My initial gauging was 'Well, look at the Attack on Titan films, took them over a year'.....then when I heard rumblings of "August"....I of course expected the worst cast scenario of the LAST Tuesday in August, the 29th.

But August 1st, a pleasant surprise. Hot damn I can't wait. Also very happy that Funimation is at least including SOME semblance of a "bonus feature" on the disc, instead of just making it blatantly bare bones.

As a Godzilla fan in North America, the discs we get are typically barren, so ANY modicum of 'bonus features' is always something I cherish.

I would suggest that the reason why Funimation used the TV Parental Guidelines (TV-Y, TV-V7, TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14, TV-MA, Descriptors D, L, S, V and FV) is because they can rate their own program. Getting a theatrical rating (G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17) means submitting the film to the MPAA and waiting for a decision. For a small company, that may take a while.

I saw nothing in Shin Godzilla that would warrant an R or a TV-MA. A PG-13 or a TV-14 would be an appropriate rating. While Godzilla does gush a lot of blood during this film, there isn't any gore to speak of.

Yeah, there isn't anything about Shin that warrants beyond a PG-13 rating.

I've looked into the cast. What was interesting is that this will be Ed Blaylock's (Sengoku, King Bradley) last film role, he will play Azuma.

An unfortunate side effect of the enormous cast in a foreign film, featuring many actors who are basically unknown in the US and English cast listings that have very scant details for a lot of minor characters, is that I wasn't able to match all the VAs to their characters. I managed to match all but one of them to the names of their characters and original actors when I was adding the dub cast to IMDb, but I don't know who all of them actually are.

I'm really excited that we technically finally have an R Rated Godzilla movie. I'm gonna tell all my friends that think all Godzilla movies are cheesy (not all of my friends do, one of my friends is a huge G fan, some of them though), I'm gonna tell them that this movie is Rated R.

Before you say...BRUH IT'S TV-MA!

They don't need to know that :D

So apparently the retail price is nearly $35? I feel like that's a little overpriced. At least, that's what it said on the funimation pre-order page.

Then DON'T order it from FUNimation. Wait for Wal-Mart - or some other big discount B&M chain - to get it in. I doubt that it will be much more than what AoT Pt. I or II were...

Okay, I see. I thought that when they said retail that it meant all stores that would be selling it later in August. I guess I didn't realize right away that the prices would be different... Whoops, my bad. :-x
