The film takes place 20,000 years in the future on Earth


Holy crap!

As for the rest of the plot. Holy crap at that plot. Was not expecting that. No wonder Yuuki is the MC.

The synopsis and visual are interesting. BUT!! The plot also looks complicated enough for them to really mess it up.

I hope this turns out good Anime hyper

And Godzilla as "Sir not appearing in this film". This is getting as bad as Godzilla 1998. Look, you can show and tell all the filler you want but there is only one key image this film needs.

Quote:
Through the battle against kaiju's that lasted for half a century, human beings has experienced continuous defeat, and finally plans to escape from the Earth.


Mankind also manages to reach faster than light speeds so it can't be all bad. Or they were travelling 1/1000 light speed and took 10 years of cold sleep spread over 10000 years to travel 10 light years... and then did that all over again to get back.

Wow. Well. Or what... I'm definitely feeling some sort of "w" here.
WTF.

Godzilla only really cares about Japan so I'm sure that the rest of the world is doing just fine living in there Jetson's style houses hundreds of meters above the earth complete unaware that Japan has been gone for 20,000 years. Cool

I was thinking the same thing! It'll be more of Eren yelling at a giant thing and trying to kill it. Laughing

If they lost the war in the first place how do they expect the limited resources of a failed emigrant fleet with no real advancement in technology to win the second time?

That's setting the bar pretty low there.

The visuals are giving me a SMT:Strange Journey vibe more than anything.

It takes them 20 years to get from Earth to the new planet, but no real time at all to get back to Earth? And why is a 24-year-old the leader of the emigration team?

This sounds like it could be interesting.

On another note, the movie's title gave me a really dumb idea that I can't stop giggling about: Godzilla: Kaijuu Wakusei Gakusei (Godzilla: Monster Planet Student), where the humans return to Earth only to find that all the monsters have formed a surprisingly recognizable society. To integrate into this strange, new-yet-oddly-familiar world, the humans have to undergo immersion reeducation, in which they attend school (for the younger ones) and are employed (for the older ones) alongside the Kaijuu, and Godzilla is the principal (and somehow also the boss at every job).

Where is our Godzilla?! Also Sci-Fi!Eren after 20,000 years being active odds are the Godzilla you encounter isn't the one who killed your parents. Other Godzillas only lived so long because the basically entered stasis.
