Warning: Book contains nudity

The third, and most likely last, in B Media Books' detailed series on Toho's Science Fiction films, The Godzilla Chronicles. This book goes over Toho's Sci-fi produced films (along with Daigoro vs. Goliath [1972]) from 1954 up to 1999, with added coverage on the, then new, Godzilla 2000 Millennium (1999), GODZILLA (1998), Godzilla's appearances in English comic books, and the Godzilla Island (1997) show.

The book, like others in the series, is in Japanese, but each page is nearly covered in pictures (most of them black and white) bringing the total for the book well over 1,500. The book starts out with eight pages, in color, of in-depth coverage on Godzilla 2000 Millennium (1999), followed by a one page report on some of Toho's TV shows, next three pages dedicated to GODZILLA (1998), followed by two pages that go over Godzilla's appearances in English comic books and the monsters he inspired, next a two page report on the Godzilla Island (1997) show, before going over the specifics of Toho's monsters. The monster section remains pretty much unchanged from the one seen in The Godzilla Chronicles Volume 2. A lot of focus in this section is given to Yamato Takeru (1994) and Rebirth of Mothra series monsters, both of which were missing in the first volume in the series. Like previous volumes, the English used in the monster section is questionable, and it would generally be wise to take it with a grain of salt. Next, the book goes over the posters and merchandise associated with Toho's Sci-fi films, this section is entirely unchanged from Volume 2, before finally going over the movies themselves. The section devoted to Toho's films and actors, which takes up more than 3/4's of the book, is, like in previous volumes, entirely in black and white. The section is organized by date of release and lists the film's Japanese name, in Japanese, and US title, in English. Unlike previous volumes, some of the Japanese movies after 1992, which hadn't been released in the US, have English titles in the book. The titles, unfortunately, are mostly errorous, like Godzilla vs. Space Monster for Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla (1994). A lot of the English titles have typos as well, examples include: Gunhead, Godzilla vsmothra, Godzilla vsmechagodzilla, and Mothra 3 Invasion of Kingghidorah. Like previous volumes, through out the movie and actor section, Lost Projects are scattered in with a short amount of info on each along with some concept art or "doctored" still.

Although there are other books with a similar scope, in terms of just covering Toho films, the Godzilla Chronicles is more easily found and covers some of the numerous Lost Projects that have accumulated over the years and, as it stands, The Godzilla Chronicles Vol. 3 is easily one of the best books on Toho. This will probably be the volume from the series most will want to pick up as it's the largest and most up to date of the books from the series.
