Why is there even a poll here? The CA's are absolutely amazing and I think they should be added to the monsters bio's.

Technically they are, they were moved into the monster bios.

Man oh man, these things are neat, I'd love to see more.
I emailed Anthony and brought it up, hopefully if enough people bring it to his attention that the CA's are a popular thing, we can get more of em'.
Personally, I'm really hoping we get CA's for...
*Godzilla 2014
*MUTO
*Mechagodzilla
*Kiryu
*Mecha-King Ghidorah
*Mothra
*Dagarah
*Kumonga
*Dogora
*Gigan 2004
Come on, we haven't seen anything new since 2013, let's get some new ones.

I just realized, we have analysis from Showa, Heisei and Legendary, but none from Millennium.

Perhaps this has been asked before, but what decides what gets made into a character analysis? I'm assuming a lot of it has to do with available information about the kaiju and such. So do certain eras have a lot more information on the films/kaiju than others? Are there alot of books about the showa era but not too much information about the Heisei? (as an example)



Just curious to peer into the process a little bit.

I prefer to dissect those monsters we know less about and reveal things about them if possible. For example, it wasn't really known by English speakers that King Caesar was a golem-like monster until that analysis or that Anguirus had multiple brains. If something grabs me then will do an analysis on them.

The books are acquired online (US and Japan auctions, along with sites), conventions, and even some local book stores. Translations are done by staff member Matthew Mikell, as mentioned in the more recent articles.

As for why there aren't more of these, there is a reason: they are the single most time consuming feature on the site. Although the translated manga pages take awhile to do as well.

^Thanks.


Could definitely see how these could be very time consuming. Just hope the staff knows how interesting these articles are and how much we appreciate them.

Analysis up for both MGI and MGII, one of the best ones yet, imo: http://www.tohokingdom.com/kaiju/analys ... showa.html

I always suspected Mechagodzilla created his own missiles like a giant factory, but I'm surprised he had abilities he didn't use. I guess that fire attack in the games came from somewhere. Also should have suspected the reactor used alien elements we haven't discovered before, but I'm surprised they would trade that out for a normal reactor in the second one, I guess they couldn't fix or replace it.
