- New larger main image

...for this one I'm particularly happy with the main image for Battra. It's, in my opinion, the clearest shot I have seen of the creature and would recommend clicking the image to see the full size view.

Another year comes to a close, and as a result I want to do my annual kudos to the site's hard working staff. We had a lot of fantastic updates publish last year, including updated news coverage from Chris Mirjahangir, stellar KWC matches managed by Tyler Trieschock, fantastic videos from Thomas Fairchild, D20 content from Jack Jordan, KWC matches from Andrew Sudomerski and Christian Salabert along with, of course, amazing articles from Nicholas Driscoll just to name a few of the contributions in 2018.

I'd like to especially thank, though, Patrick Galvan, Mathew Webber and Joshua Sudomerski this year. 2018 was a crazy year, and 2019 doesn't look to be any more "relaxed". I've been pulled away from the site more than I ever have, and my thanks goes to all three for their work behind the scenes. While Patrick has created thorough, deep articles this year, he's also taken on more duties in coding as well, helping to add movie bios and more. Meanwhile, Mathew has done a great job helping to manage the forums, something that can't be understated in terms of the work required. Finally, I'd like to do a big tip of the hat to Joshua. He has not only been instrumental in developing great content, but has done a huge amount of work behind the scenes, accounting for a large amount of the work going into placing updates on the site these days.

So kudos everyone and thanks to all our readers who make this content so enjoyable to produce! Here is to a great 2019!

Added The Lost Films of Mikio Naruse to the Blog. This is, by far, my biggest undertaking yet and one I felt was long overdue. Naruse was one of the great Toho directors of the 30s-60s, turning out a large number of marvelous films, and was admired by many of his colleagues, including Akira Kurosawa and Yasujiro Ozu. And if you need some further encouragement to look into his work, Tomoyuki Tanaka once said that Ishiro Honda might've become a director "like Naruse" had he not become a science fiction director. Anyhow, some of Naruse's films have been lost over time and it is those films which are covered and addressed in this article.

Added an Interview with Todd Tennant to the Blog
To note, we have also fixed a mistranslated detail on the bios for Rodan [Showa Series] and Baragon [Showa Series] in relation to Rodan raising the smaller Baragon. It's a bit of egg on our face, but this was incorrect. The book was relating that the creature was raised on Monster Land, the latter being misinterpreted as "monster Rodan" (Rando ~ Radon). It's one of those occasions where I'm glad we are a website, rather than print for example, that allows us to correct mistakes. Joshua Sudomerski deserves the credit for addressing this as well, going above and beyond to verify and finding out that the detail was incorrect.
