I definitely want to say showa violence. It'd be good without going nuts.
Hedorah gets his eyes ripped out.
Godzilla gets shot with missles and blood pours out of his neck like a fountain.
Ebirah gets his claws ripped off.
Anguirus gets his head sawed up by Gigan.
etc.

An animated gorefest? Include Gigan and it will make so much more sense. Blades ahoy!

I was just talking about the violence that happens in the showa era, I think it would work best.

Medium.

low enough to show the monster(s) is/are durable, high enough to allow blood to show that a really powerful attack was, well, powerful when previous attacks failed to draw blood.

Violence should be moderate, like late Showa era. Nothing too crazy, nothing too tame. They should use blood to emphasize how powerful something is, nothing much else.

Nothing too crazy, something like Heisei Era, with fantasy kaiju violence, multicolored blood and that stuff.

Only what is really needed, honestly. Godzilla has never struck me as the kind of monster to include gore for the sake of it like too many films in the horror genra do. Yes, the horrors of nuclear radiation and the effects of it are a key part of it, but there in is what makes Godzilla unique as a monster franchise, if not in the horror genra as a whole. (And yes, I know Godzilla fits into a number of genras.) The blood and gore almost always has a point to it when it shows up. Either to show the horror of something, or how strong an attack is. It doesn't need to be over the top unless the intent is for the entire movie to be over the top. Plain and simple, I'll still support the film myself though, in the hopes of getting anime that goes the entire spectrum to fill everyone's needs, wants, and desires. Personally though, I hope that while serious, it takes a Heisei tone to the thing. I've always wanted a Godzilla anime like that, one that has the Bio Wars music from Godzilla vs. Biollante as the opening theme and the credits. But that bit's for another topic.

I would like a couple of blood splatters like in samurai movies, and Power Ranger-style explosions as the monster falls backward to the ground, and curbstompings.

I think it might be cool if they did something like Evil Dead 2 violence-wise where the amount of blood is so ridiculous and unrealistic, it almost transcends the label of "gory." That would be very interesting to watch.

Yeah, like that!!!

Sounds amazing. The Evil Trilogy is my favorite movie trilogy of all time.

It should be high enough to get the munchies, but not so much I actually want to get off the couch.

Oh wait, you mean like how much violence? Eh...As much as ever solves anything.

I think you hit the nail on the head.

Blood and gore is rare in Godzilla films but when it does show up it has a point, like showing how Anguirus was horribly outmatched by Mechagodzilla, Destroyah and Burning Godzilla showing how powerful they've become (and the body breaking down as he is dying in the latter's case) and Hedorah and Biollante to show how there are monsters more horrific than Godzilla.

I'd say moderate. Not going overboard, but including some violence. Blood's used sparingly in the live-action films (Late Showa era notwithstanding), so I think it'd be best to stick to that.

Uber violent, like these clips:

Spoiler:

Let's make this the edgiest, most grim dark Godzilla film to date. :^)

CyberZilla · Post by **CyberZilla** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 8:25 pm

Sure, why not, I need an edgy Godzilla movie in my life

I'd say as violent as a nature documentary would be good, given that this movie is supposedly set in a jungle

As my favorite anime tends to be of the darker and gorier kind. I think it would work for Monster Planet too. Evil Dead 2-level of gore would be fantastic! My best guess would be nature documentary- level of gore though.

I personally don’t like too much gore in my Godzilla movies. Not too say there shouldn’t be any I think a moderate amount would suffice.
