Godzilla: The Animated Series
Alright, I know it's just GINO, but I liked how they tried to make him more like the original. (And included all those references) What are your thoughts on the show?

Re: Godzilla: The Animated Series
It's what first got me interested in Godzilla when I was about 4 years old, but I can't remember a thing about it. All I have is the Monster Wars DVD, which I liked, but I'm not going to judge the entire series based on a mere three episodes.

Re: Godzilla: The Animated Series
I enjoyed it. Gino is more like his namesake, and he had some interesting enemies.

Re: Godzilla: The Animated Series
I only saw the episode with the giant rats and the Monster Wars episode, which kind of underwhelmed me. I never made the effort to watch the other episodes after that.

Re: Godzilla: The Animated Series
The animated series kicked ass. I think this is what gave Zilla his fans. If so, then he has earned them.

I hate how people act like this was some amazing show that made redeemed Gino. No, it fucking didnt. It gave the Gino sympathizers something to latch onto.
"LOOK, HE'S DOING GODZILLA STUFF! SEE? IT'S NOT ALL BAD!"
Yeah, great. Now he's only slightly less of a bastardization. They got the character right (well, right enough); shame about the looks though! Yuck.

Well, in my opinion, it did. Even the people who hated the movie ended up liking the show.Godzilla 2000 wrote:

Re: Godzilla: The Animated Series
I agree 100%. Come on, man. People need to just accept that the 1998 film happened, and just take it as its own thing, and treat Zilla as Zilla. Honestly, I kind of want to see Zilla in more things in the future to see what they can do with him.Godzilla The King wrote:I' m not gonna try to convert you to liking this show, I am going to defend it.
It's a fun show, I'm not claiming its great writing(Though I do like what they did with Godzilla, he is a character in the show.) I'll admit it has bad jokes, though it does get a chuckle every once in a while.
I'll admit the acting is at most mediocre. You're free to have you're opinions just if you hate it, try to be civil.

Re: Godzilla: The Animated Series
From the few episodes I've seen recently, it's not bad. It isn't good enough to excuse the movie, but it's watchable enough. I do really like some of the monsters it introduced, especially Crustaceous Rex, El Gusano, and The Bat. It'd be cool to see them used in a non-GINO movie or something someday. Not that it'll happen, of course.

Sorry, just had to speak my mind.

Re: Godzilla: The Animated Series
The difference is the approach. TriStar's GODZILLA movie was made Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich, who weren't Godzilla fans, couldn't understand how people could like the old movies, and had zero interest in honoring what had come before.Shadow wrote:GINO sucked, I don't see how the show could be any better.
GODZILLA: THE SERIES was a cartoon spin-off from the movie, and therefore had to use the look of the monster from the film. But several people on the staff were big Godzilla fans (I was one of them) who took what they had to work with and made something much more faithful to the Toho films.
One big example came in the script for the first episode, which had Godzilla using his radioactive breath. Dean Devlin objected and told story editor Bob Skir (who co-wrote the episode) to remove those scenes. Bob refused, saying Godzilla always has radioactive breath and that fans expect to see it. Devlin relented because Bob stood his ground. It's the different between one guy "getting" Godzilla and the other one not.
I don't think G:TS is some artistic masterpiece... it's a Saturday morning kids' show made for network TV that had to deal with tight budgets and schedules, plus all of the rules and restrictions imposed by Standards and Practices. Nor do I think every Godzilla would (or should) like it. But I do feel it's a worthwhile addition to Godzilla's history, made by people who actually gave a damn about the character. There are some cool monsters and fight scenes, fun in-jokes and references to the Toho films (DAM, Monster Island, Mechagodzilla, Ifukube, Mechani-Kong etc), and a bunch of great voice actors (guest actors included Ron Perlman, Roddy McDowall, Linda Blair, Robert Forster, Michael Chiklis and Clancy Brown).
Ratings were good, Godzilla fans were generally pleased with the show, Toho was VERY happy with it, and its a favorite of some Japanese FX filmmakers. And this life-long Godzilla fan is glad to have been a part of that.

Godzilla fanbase is not part of GINO fanbase.
Also, you're right. Godzilla fanbase is not part of GINO fanbase. Gino fanbase is part of Godzilla fanbase.
