Shinkalion Godzilla

Post by SoggyNoodles2016 »

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet.


According to Atomic Crusader on Tumblr, the upcoming film in the Shinkalion franchise (mecha series about trains that combine into robots which featured Evangelion and Vocaloid cameos. Because Japan.) Will have a Godzilla cameo factor in.

Looks to be a mix between the Legendary and the Shin design, really excited to see it on screen.

Well, color me interested. Having seen the Evangelion crossover episode from the show, this should be fun.

Cool, I’ll definitely look into it when I get back. A hybrid design between legendary and shin would be awesome.

It could just be the tiny picture on my phone, but to me it looks less like a hybrid of those two and more like a stylized profile of Hesei Goji.
I unapologetically, wholeheartedly, and without a doubt hate Godzilla vs Kong.

I definitely see Heisei, maybe some Shin, but I'm not seeing the Legendary.
Tokyo, a smoldering memorial to the unknown, an unknown which at this very moment still prevails and could at any time lash out with its terrible destruction anywhere else in the world.

Yeah, the closest thing to Shin I see is the length of the tail, but otherwise mostly getting a lot of Hesei. Not sure where people are seeing the Legendary influence.

I don't know, I think the arms might be longer than Hesei's too.

I said Legendary because the face, arms, and chest reminded me of the PS4 game/Sh Monsterarts version of 2014. I still see it but there's definitely more Heisei then I acknowledged.

Either way, looks very nice. Wonder if this is going to be another Shin Ghidorah thing where the non-canon incarnation ends up being one of the best new takes on the character :lol:

Interesting, is it really snow or just white? If it is purely white it may indicate that the Gemstone project did factor into Toho's plans.

So is that official? Is that what Goji looks like in this cameo? Or is it just like fan art or speculation?

Either way, looks like a neat design. A Snow Godzilla is not something I'd ever think of.

He's talking about the Gemstone Godzilla fan project contest held a while back where Japanese fans sent in different short films for the chance to have one turned into a YouTube series (this is where that puppet show Gojiban comes from).

This was one of the entires and the Godzilla design featured is almost 1:1 the same as the one in this Shinkalion cameo:

It looks like it's just snow from the area Godzilla's in.

It's official. There was one more image on Instagram kaiju news outlet.

Cool, guess the "very different Goji takes" in Japanese media continues!

I was wondering how that little puppet show got started. So does that mean Gojiban was the winner? How many entries were there in total, and can they all be watched?

You know, it's actually pretty interesting that we now have this extra little category of movies that aren't actually Godzilla movies but have major Godzilla cameos like Always 2 and Ready Player One...

Its what I think the villains do in this, the wiki isn't any real help in explaining anything about this show.

Ah. I know nothing about this show, so heck if I know. But even so, I wouldn't say this isn't Godzilla, just the Godzilla of that world is different maybe. I mean, the last anime Godzilla was a plant...
