Tbh this may be a case where tempering your expectations may not be needed. The aforementioned studios have a great track record and their involvement is likely the result of Toho taking the criticisms of the Anime Trilogy into account and trying to improve.Kaijucifer wrote:I'm gonna have to temper my expectations with this but damn my hopes for G:SP are high. Recently I've started weebing out on anime since GvK just dipped and stopped existing so I've had to pour my focus elsewhere. When I heard who was involved in this my expectations shot through the roof.
Bones, the studio who animated Soul Eater, MHA, MP100 and many other beautiful shows, Orange, the studio who did the CGI for Beastars, and the entire creative team full of a bunch of other amazing talented people including Eiji Yamamori from Ghibli? This show has everything going for it. I'm so excited to see what we'll get by April.
All I expect is a well written and animated show, with some really likable characters and new and interesting Kaiju designs. Godzilla already looks like a super model going off the reveal image alone. If there are other Monsters, I hope they're either new or underutilized Toho monsters.
Anything is possible in Anime and I hope they pull no punches, because they can certainly get away with anything at this point as long as it isn't understated like the last trilogy we got.
Hopefully that's the case, and some lesser known Kaiju get a shot at making a major appearance. I'm really hoping that Baragon gets to finally be shown in full like he is in the comics, flame breath and all. And Varan gets a good fight, or maybe a few.
This last one may be a really long shot but how about having Anguirus have some of the elemental powers he was planned to have in some appearances. In GMK he was originally going to appear with cryogenic capabilities and pyrokinetic powers in his original appearance. Maybe that can be shown off, one or the other or both?
