Hmmmm...I predict a complex & deep story that will be the most thoughtful allegory for nuclear war & Japan's current political situation ever animated. It will be about Godzilla eating little girls.

Holy shit...this is real. I've wanted this for so long it's going to take a while to fully process that this is actually happening. But man I'm excited as hell!

I have ZERO interest in Godzilla and have never seen it, King Kong, or any other big Monster Movie.

...

And I'm going to watch this as soon as possible because Gen Urobuchi-sama is going to be writing it! OH MY GOD! I can't wait!

Wonder if Netflix will be able to license this as well. Considering it's Polygon and there's already inbuilt popularity with the product being Godzilla.

This is really awesome news!

I've often wondered why kaiju anime isn't really a thing. I can see this turning out to be a really big deal.

Curious about what kind of design they'll use for him. I think the important thing will actually be making him scary. He might have been scary for the '54 audience, but I doubt he's ever been as terrifying since.

>sees a topic on /a/ about Urobuchi tweeting he's working on a Goji movie
>thinks it is a joke
>comes here
>it's real

The guy that made a terrible magic girl anime with one of the worst anime casts ever and that awful Fate/Stay Night prequel is making a Godzilla movie.... Well Blassreiter was okay and if Gargantia is any indication it'll at least look pretty, but unlike Anno (who I know makes good stuff consistently) I am far from confident this will work.

You are missing out on life, monster movies are a way of it. Cool

So Urobutcher will get involved in Godzilla's first anime film?

This better be good.

Just being honest, when I first saw the headline I envisioned the fairies replaced by twin kyubeys.

I thought we wanted an evangelionXgodzilla crossover but I guess it would be funnier to get madoka.

Gen Urobuchi also wrote Kamen Rider Gaim. It would be funny if we got Godzilla related merchandise for Kamen Rider Gaim to promote the film since Bandai owns both franchises.

The part where Godzilla, Rodan and King Ghidorah debate what it means to be kaiju is gonna be epic.
