Yeah I thought it was a nice toned down version of the film's design, with the traditional blue breath and all.

It would make a very nice retro style toy -

I honestly think this is the best the Shin design has ever looked. It's simple, straightforward, while still appropriately 'off' and malformed. I wish it had more use than the one short.

Yuji Sakai's G2K concept is what they should use imo. It looks perfect for a gritty anime film.

I believe it will be some kind of combination of multiple Godzilla designs. Maybe something like MireGoji, with the facial sculpt of RadoGoji and the color scheme of KiryuGoji.

No more are there guys in rubber suits, no more are there fun, silly, kid-friendly Godzillas, no more are the days when you could make out in the back row with your sweetheart and your kid brother could be in the front, eyes glued to the screen. Instead we're left with the gritty, cold world of Hollywood and apocalyptic visions of nightmare creatures.

Then again they could surprise us with a standard Heisei type design so who knows.
I would love a design like this if only to see the fanbase's reaction to something so bizarre and different.
I wouldn't really mind, Godzilla redesigns are expected and are one of the things I look forward to every movie. The only thing I don't like on Shinkawa's design is the tail.

Yeah, the tail is something I actually think could be beefed up a bit.

Thats my favorite Godzilla design ever, I wish they would use it!

A little longer would be good to.

If this was what we got in the actually movie, in terms of appearance,behaviors and abilities I would not have felt alienated at ALL. But keep the back lasers and the 3rd form, those were cool!

Given this movie will seemingly have a natural and futuristic-looking setting, it'd be nice if this Godzilla had some influences from the Legendary design, mostly for the head and facial expressions, with the body frame of BioGoji and spikes like those from KiryuGoji but smaller, and a somewhat beefier tail.

Wouldn't it be cool if that turned out to be the look of Godzilla in the new anime film? Would be a cool passing of the torch between films.

Saw this interpretation on Twitter; don't know if it's an actual image, but it's a very different take. Reminds me a lot of the Forest Spirit from Princess Mononoke:

I dig it. Looks very blue... but that could just be the lighting.

I wonder what's up with the glowing blue orb?

Is he transparent? Those look like veins running throughout him.

Annnnnd I see that they are continuing this "tallest Godzilla ever" battle...

I'm gonna figure that they're going for a very supernatural take on this design.
As for the height wars...you win, Toho. You win.

those fucking spines though.

An interesting design. I'm very curious about this, to be honest. What if this is a hint at a Ghost Godzilla sort of direction? Hm. Anxious to know more details.

It's like Shin's body type combined with G2K's features... looks really cool, to me. The weird veins running throughout and the transparency definitely remind me of the 'ghost' idea, but I also feel like it might just be an artistic thing...
