Should we get another animated Godzilla series?

[Godzilla1989]

Do you want another animated Godzilla series, like for example if Godzilla 2014 is successful?

If they do then I hope it's like Batman the animated series. It was dark and serious yet it was successful.

I would love a properly done animated series for the Big G, it could provide interesting character arcs as well as a lot of monster fights. It wouldn't be held back by big budget live action FX, so we could see some really cool stuff.

I'd like to see Japan put out a serious Godzilla anime series. Evangelion, especially the new movies, does a great job depicting kaiju-like beings, and a similar treatment for Godzilla could be awesome, granted they can come up with a compelling human cast.

But if it's American-made, it'll be kiddie Saturday morning fare, which is ok I guess, but it's not what I'd hope for.

I can see that. My hope for the LGP movie is for Godzilla to be taken seriously again, and I do question whether or not an animated series might undo a bit of work, if only because it'd likely be -as you put it- a "kiddie Saturday morning" bit of work and a nice anime-grade show would be more interesting. On the flip side, if that's what the market wants ...

It sounds like a decent enough idea. I've thought every once in a while what they could do in terms of a stand-alone cartoon of Godzilla; not based off of a movie or anything. It would be cool to see.

I'm not a fan of anime, but I'd start watching a Godzilla one if it were a decent show.

A saturday morning kiddie one wouldn't be bad as long as it has fluid-looking action and protagonists that don't say unfunny, unoriginal, cheesy, ear-grating one-liners.

I kinda liked the G'98 animated series, so I wouldn't mind another like that one for the LP movie.

[VamprisArachne]

If they make one, i hope they include some classic monsters with Godzilla (Ghidorah, Mothra. Rodan, Titanosaurus) along with some new original monsters

Yeah, while I did like the G'98 cartoon, the monsters were sometimes too weird.

[VamprisArachne]

^ Yeah C-rex and the Bat were cool, maybe dragma too, but i think its about time godzilla and co get the animated treatment, after all they got the comic treatment with idw

It kinda helps that Toonzilla acted more like Godzilla then GINO did.

To be honest, if GINO was like the animated Zilla, than I wouldn't mind the new Godzilla design as much as I do. Animated Zilla is actually kinda cool.

If there were to be an animated series, i'd like to see this:

[therealmccoy]

I'm surprised nobody mentioned that already. I forgot about it. The monster designs are a little wonky, but the whole story sounded really fun. I would watch it.

Then I wouldn't watch it.

I'd be pulling for a Godzilla anime, but I doubt it would happen.

[tymon]

^Do you know why Toho hasn't ever been interested in an anime? Somethin to do with profit I'm sure, I just don't know how it adds up..

Edit: IR, teh ninja. Is it just because they see him as a "movie only character" or are there other factors at play?

[tymon]

Ah, duh. Man I'm dumb sometimes.

[VamprisArachne]

^ Yeah or something like the Animatrix, you know short stories focusing on individual kaiju and scenarios

what like kumonga going on a hunt whilst being hunted herself

[VamprisArachne]

I don't know, maybe something like what idw is doing with Godzilla: Legends

[PopInPicsPresents]

Didn't this craze die out in the 90's? Making a cartoon based on a movie in the theater? Plus we already have a comic series going on so though it'd be cool, it'll probably not happen. And chances are if it did, it'd probably only have a 13 episode pilot season and that's about it.
