Re: Godzilla S.P. Weekly Spoiler Thread (Episode 1 to 2)
Yeah I kind of just realized that. Feel a bit silly posting that now. Man...what I would give to see Kiryu in anime form. Really wishing we got the classic designs. I feel like it would make this anime PERFECT. Still really enjoying it so far, though. Interested in seeing where the story will go.LSD Jellyfish wrote: ↑Thu Apr 01, 2021 9:13 pmI wouldn't think too much of it, but it'S possible the monsters in the ending might appear.

Wow. I’m surprised. I had really low expectations but the first two episodes and the outro hooked me in. I can’t believe there’s a chance Kiryu and Biollante will be in the same series. It’s a shame this will get overshadowed by GvK. But I suppose it’s a great time to be a G-Fan.

Re: Godzilla S.P. Weekly Spoiler Thread (Episode 1 to 2)
I rewatched episode 2. I might be wrong, but one thing I missed is that Satomi I think, visited Ootaki in the hospital, and I think that's where she got the print. I believe Ootaki might have been expecting something like this to happen, and that the event is some sort of legend in his family.
Meanwhile, Sato (the guy in the building who is helping the strange man), is going through the resources and other things. There's a date mentioned 1975, which is suspicious. Later when Sato is on the phone with the woman, he refers to the bones as "dinosaur bones" and tells the woman he doesn't really understand it all. I think that explains why the episode doesn't open on the cliffhanger. I don't think anyone in universe recognizes how crazy the Godzilla bones are.
I watched it on my big screen today and oh man, the show is gorgeous. I'm sort of annoyed that people are seeing out of context stuff from the ending and complaining "why the series doesn't look like that" when the series has stellar animation. I also noticed at various points Rodan spits, and then bleeds later; there's a clear attention to detail that give the 3D monsters a lot of movement and personality. So long as things don't take a nosedive I think we are in the clear. I'm really looking forward to the next episode because I think it's where things are going to really pop off action wise.

Finally watched both episodes. I liked its conspiratorial tone so far.

Re: Godzilla S.P. Weekly Spoiler Thread (Episode 1 to 2)
I watched the first two, and even though I don't speak Japanese, I'm really liking the characters and whole mystery vibe. They updated the official site with a glossary that gives a little more info on a few things, like Mei's field of study. Worth looking at, even if the Google translate is a bit wonky.
The poster also makes a reference to the "369 Rule" (all the 6s and 9s on the poster) which is something like writing your intensions 3, 6, or 9 times will cause what you want to manifest. There's definitely a "fiction becoming reality" thing going on.
Also, I hope Toho actually makes those Rodan plushies.
Agreed! I don't know if you noticed, but Shiva's logo on the paper Mei is looking at is the same logo above the doorway on the house Yun is investigating in the first episode. The paper Mei is looking at also says they're involved with "theoretical materials in our world and materials in a theoretical world" or something close to that. I think I can start to see where the series is going. The kaiju are mythological creatures that are going to become real because of dimension-hopping shenanigans.

Watched the fansub a couple days ago and so far, Otaki is my favorite character. Kinda ironic since I actually hated his design back when he (and the rest of the characters) were revealed.

I saw a few subbed clips on YouTube, and I wonder if the dialog is actually vulgar or if that's the translator taking liberties. Otaki dropped an F-bomb in the clip I saw. Doesn't bother me at all, just funny.

He's a bit grumpy, and speaks informally at bits, but he's not saying anything that bad. There's a lot of japanese words that are rude, but don't have the same connection to vulgarity in English. There's a lot of japanese phrases like shimatta, which just express regret, that conveys regret that is often translated as "damn". This historically has always been an issue with fansubs. I'm not going to be mean or degrade someone else's translations, but it's historically been a problem of making characters seem more potty mouthed than they are.
Really looking forward to the next episode though. I need to figure out what time Wednesday Netflix Japan puts it up.

Gotta say, I love the bit where Mei's calling Yun to investigate the facility, while Yun's already breaking in to do that exact thing.

I'm really excited to see more of Jet Jaguar and Ootaki. I thought he'd be an annoying character, but he turned out to be one of my favorites with his voice and personality. I hope now that JJ has an AI in him he'll have some kind of personality like Pero 2 does.

Re: Godzilla S.P. Weekly Spoiler Thread (Episode 1 to 2)
Speaking of mistranslation, in the first episode, did those kids actually call JJ "cringe"? Or is that another liberty taken by the fansubs?LSD Jellyfish wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 2:37 pmNo Ootaki is not dropping F-bombs in japaneseUltramorph wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 12:50 pm I saw a few subbed clips on YouTube, and I wonder if the dialog is actually vulgar or if that's the translator taking liberties.

Re: Godzilla S.P. Weekly Spoiler Thread (Episode 1 to 2)
The fuck? No. They tease Yun and JJ there, saying something that’s more akin to “Jet Jaguar is a loser”. For the record I haven’t seen the fan subs. I’m not going to question someone’s ability to understand Japanese. However, it seems like whoever is doing it, is taking some fun liberties with interpreting and giving the kids/characters, *ahem* more colorful dialogue.DirektorSplennic wrote: ↑Mon Apr 05, 2021 1:51 pmSpeaking of mistranslation, in the first episode, did those kids actually call JJ "cringe"?

Thinking about it more, it’s not a mistranslation. When you translate something there’s a lot of variables and meanings inherently change/lose and gain meaning. I just think it’s a bit excessive given modern contexts, although perhaps kids might say that.
