I feel the anime trilogy was not for seeing monsters fight, but to see humanities struggle to live in such a world and should they destroy or live with Godzilla
I'd love to see where all of that came from, and/or an actual movie about it. The Anime had the very slow "space coloney drama" stuff going on that hampered it. But I kept watching cuz I was mesmerized by Godzilla Earth
It’s kinda sad that we never got to see the Lore animated because holy hell is it good with Godzilla and other monsters basically making the earth a war zone
@@FalangeRevolutionary986 maybe that's because g14 had ACTUAL fights meanwhile the anime trilogy didn't?, plus the director of g14 was a fan and legendary didn't mind monster fights meanwhile the co director of the trilogy wasn't a fan and toho wanted to avoid all monster fights.
@@DraconisMarchVII I mean, technically, if you go fast enough, time would in fact go slower for you, but everywhere else in the universe it would be going at the normal rate. Making it possible to in essence go to the future without aging much if at all depending on the speed. Hell, people on the international space station are already technically ahead in time, not by much, but still. So in a way, it does make sense that they leave, and then come back and its 20k years later. Still stupid, but 100% possible
I think the movies were ok. Not great, not terrible... but man, the LORE. The anime universe has some of the best lore and world building in the entire franchise!
If and when they continue this universe, I hope we get more info on the monster factor(how most life on the planet gained godzilla's characteristics, and how the houtua got their moth features), that is by far my favorite of concepts they introduced.
I agree, this had so much potential. I hated this design when it was first revealed. However, I warmed up to it and now I love it. I also love the concept/design of King ghidorah. I just wished, like everyone else that it was more of a traditional fight. Such a waste of potential.
@Atomic Beast Who really knows? There is a lot that we don't know that happens behind the scenes. My reason as to why the anime trilogy failed was because the creators bite off more than they can chew. They kept pushing to make their version of the Big G stand out from the rest. That and all these ideas clashed and had no real time to fully develop. At least that's my two sense. I hear you brother, at least with fans they can use anime Goji and make him awesome just like that MMD animation.
I would argue that Godzilla Earth isn't meant to represent his dominion over the Earth, but rather that he is an avatar of the Earth itself. Granted this is my view, but I came to this conclusion for various reasons: - Despite all of humanities best efforts, (including the nuclear option), they could not destroy him or truly put a dent in him. Our weapons we use, no matter how destructive are incapable of truly destroying the Earth. We can do serious damage, sure, but not outright destruction. Even nuclear devastation sites like the Bikini Atoll and Chernobyl are having life thrive again. - Godzilla Earth's very cells make up most of the ecosystems we see on Earth in the film (with notable exceptions). - The only thing that was a major threat to Godzilla Earth is King Ghidorah, who in the adaptation is akin to black hole (Notice how Ghidorah warps space-time, gravity, and "sucks" the power of Godzilla. The only major threat our planet has against total destruction would be a significant cosmic phenomenon like a black hole. Again, just my view, but to me that makes G-Earth a really interesting take on the various incarnations of Godzilla.
I suspect that was it, Haruo was just too blinded and arrogant to come to the conclusion that he is a natural embodiment of earth and has just as much claim to it as humans do.
The anime left me with the same sensation I get from some Miyasaki´s stories, as in heavy handed enviromental/primitivist message, even to the format of the story: Human greed creates monster, Humans resist monster, Humans find way to defeat monster at the cost of their humanity, Humans decide its not worth it, Humans decide to live as proverbial treehuggers so monster does not kill them. The catch is that, in contrast to a Miyazaki film, the ending feels...hopeless. Sure, having the last survivors from space integrating with the survivors from Earth is nice, but ultimately gives up any ambition or aspiration, the things they effectively tried to recover by returning to Earth and that feels...really depressing. Its not even finding a balance between the progress of civilization and the natural order, as films like Nausicaa and Princess Mononoke TRY (with a strong emphasis on try) to do, but rather concludes that progress is akin to death, embodied in King Ghidorah. Plus: -Yuko was done dirty by the plot. -We missed out on what seemed King Ghidorah´s cool full body design. -Aliens are unironically evil. -The First(?) Godzilla movie with sex in it.
@@howdoichangemyprofilepictu9839 We always create the things we dread, Einstein and Oppenheimer helped create nuclear weapons, Wi-Fi began as a means to wirelessly control missiles during the Cold War, and our good intentions eventually create something that bastardizes our originally good intentions.
Agreed. Even if you want to buy that this was somehow Earth fighting back against Humanity for damaging the planet it feels like such major overkill since it slaughtered billions of people who couldn't even DO anything to it. I wouldn't want to be anywhere NEAR this thing.

Wat? that would be the same shamelessly Mechagodzilla in that movie. We all thought that it would be a Titanic Mecha, and what we got? A freaking city :/ And Gidorah? It was only a like a snake from a black hole. And we thought that it would have been a biblic battle between Gods, but that didn't happen. I liked the movies, but the could showed more that it had the movies.
Yeah. They only showed his full body in a few scenes because ghidorah is intangible/out of this world. And the only action scenes we got with him were his 3 heads going through the portals. Not really an intense fight. Mecha G was more disappointing as it fight with Big G was only a threat because of its nature to consume and replicate. Not really a battle.
I think Godzilla earth is the best interpretation of the character, dispite the films themselves being kinda bad. He’s a true force of nature here. He’s not here to destroy humanity, but punish us for our crimes against nature. His design is a perfect combination of the monsterverse/millennium versions, and uses the millennium roar, which is the best IMO. My only complain is his size. I get it’s intentional, but I like the size of Shin Godzilla and the legendary Godzilla more, as well as their breath attacks.
God I want a prequel movie based off the two novels so bad!!!! I usually like Godzilla more than Mothra, but seeing as this Godzilla genuinely seeks Humanities destruction, it was so heart-warming to see Mothra being the only monster who wanted Humanities survival
Guy Deragisch bruh. There was character development. Haruo had a whole hell a lot of character development in the trilogy. The others had some show of personality. Sometimes I think fans like you are just mad that MechaGodzilla was reduced to a city and we didn’t see ghidorah’s full body.
I just thought of something. In the comics Groot can posses other plants by piercing them does that mean if Groot some how managed to pierce him would that mean he can control him or even merge with him
Come on dont be threatened by a roar from the future godzilla from netflix the 0000000.1% voice of godzilla earth he is letterly going to come to earth in 10 years where u will hear his roar 100%
UnknownGoji1207 Actually! It’s turns out that Geno Urobuchi and Shizuno Kobune have no experience with Tokusatsu genre in the same manner as Shinji Higuchi and Shunsuke Kaneko who are the equal in the directing in nihilistic and cosmic horror themes.
This is so true, I hope Toho has this time learned their lesson if they’re ever gonna make another anime Godzilla which is what they’re probably gonna do very soon after GVK.
The anime trilogy failed because instead of focusing on the monsters, they focused on heavy-handed messages and the human characters that ranged from unlikable to boring
Nathaniel Taulbee It’s my semester long research paper. I’m writing about the metaphor of Godzilla films, specifically focusing on the 1954 film, GMK, and Shin Godzilla
It's because the films were worked on by Gen Urobuchi, Kobun Shizuno, and Hiroyuki Seshita, while the prequels were by Renji Ohki, and Gen Urobuchi. Kobun was the one most pushing for it to be grounded, and Toho wanted the films to be less monster driven.(ironically still has more godzilla screentime than monster zero)
@@kennethsatria6607 I don't think I phrased that very well, Toho gave instructions to focus more on character than monster battles. Also have we talked before, maybe in the days I was still butthurt over shin godzilla? Your username, and profile picture seem familiar.
@@primisoda1400 FW may be able to lift Godzilla Earth but he'd only do that if he gets that keizer upgrade and also even if he does so, Godzilla Earth would still win with one shot of atomic breath.
Godzilla Earth: The end result of the Godzilla arms race. Final Wars: 100 meters. Legendary: 105 meters. Shin: 108 meters. Anime: "Do you want to go... bigger? Well, here's 300 suckers!" Hell, we all know they were overcompensating.... for lack of plot, characters, action, monster fights, minor things really.
@@heheh9945 I find Godzilla Earth to be the result of someone saying let make him literally impossible to kill by any mean except reality bending stuff. Also, what the heck is Anguirus 4 and Varan 2? Why the numbers?
I assume that Anguiras 4 and Varan 2 are references to the previous ones in films, because you had the Anguiras from Raids Again, the Anguiras in the rest of the Showa series, and the Anguiras in Final Wars, making the anime one the 4th Anguiras, similar with Varan.
The thing with Shin Godzilla is that he requires total destruction of the cellular level to kill. He will just keep adapting and changing until he wins if this does not occur.
Yeah but there's much old mythology relating to that I think it was something to do with Alchemists or the east's first contact with the western people from europe or something
I had a feeling it wouldn't, Godzilla in that story IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE MOST POWERFUL AND JUST BASICALLY A GOD I think it was to teach a lesson about the environment or something, but if it did I didn't get the lesson from anything in the anime( I couldn't get my hands on the books) anyway I had a feeling they wouldn't get close to winning I guess I was right. But yeah it did feel like a mess, it was crazy, and honestly had so much potential (as you said)but alas, time machines aren't real so we cant re write the movies so... That sucks.
@@TheDudeliestDude Falls short, but it was interesting enough for me to appreciate as its own universe like GMK or Kiryu Saga, like I don't want it erased.
Yep essentially. Ironically the west did a better version of Ghidorah then the anime. Really while anime Ghidorah is definitely OP, he just wasn't realm used all that much. An obvious sign this was suppose to be a series not 3 movies. On the other hand MV Ghidorah is definitely given plenty of time to show just how dangerous he really was, barring Kevin's antics of course.
@@xx_squirtle8621 yep true. The moment it lost his intangibility he went down like a chump. MV Ghidorah at least needed Godzilla to go burning mode just to kill.
I have to say this is the most intricate and experimental Godzilla design ever and I love the creators for it, the movies fall short but I can see the attempt and work behind it. Story is also interesting, it would've been amazing if they brought back the concept of how surviving humans could adapt to their own "gods" like they did with Mothra. Post apocalypse meets fantasy setting is real cool. And I did like the ending of haruo being commited to erasing all traces of the past for a new start. Though the implications he left a wife and child behind with no last words was kinda dickish.
@Drake Barnes i agree maybe anime ghidorah could take on some of the weakess love craftian monster since anime ghidorah bends space time to his will or something like that
Maybe godzilla earth in first movie is 300 meter And second movie is 310 meter And third movie is 317 meter And now he is growing size until over 318 meter
To be honest despite some problems and stuff... I love how this anime trilogy turned out. It felt very different from your usual Godzilla media yet it managed to give a sense of familiarity as well; that sense of dread not just due the actions of the creatures but also due to their inactions, their potential actions and apparent lack of concerne for other life forms. The kaijus in this series truly feel one step above everything else, while the humans and aliens feels like small ants who can try but alone can't win nor survive.
I love how chill Goji Earth is. He's just a giant plant, so he isn't really destroying the echo system by eating anything, and he's always just shown walking unless something tries to fight him
This videos are always so fun to watch and so informative and well-made. I keep coming back to them and despite averaging around 16 minutes each they go by so quickly you don't even notice. Here's some monsters for future Kaiju Profiles that I'd love to see but I understand you guys have a very busy schedule so I won't be disappointed if you can't and won't: Kumonga Kamacuras King Caesar Megaguirus Kamoebas Canimes Krystalak Obsidius
Minecraft Steve: “Finally, a worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!” Steve can punch Diamond (the strongest material on earth) into dust particles with nothing but his bare fucking hands. And if that wasn’t enough, Steve can literally yeet Godzilla Earth into the sun. He may not seem like it, but Steve is extremely powerful.
Imagine if a fourth Pipeworks Godzilla fighting game was made, and the story involved the Vortaak creating Godzilla Earth as part of their plan to conquer it, but midway through the game GE would turn against them and start assimilating and terraforming Earth as his own, requiring the monster you're playing as to confront and defeat him as the final boss, with the ending depending on which faction monster you're using (Earth Defender, GDF, Alien, Mutant). And if you defeat Godzilla Earth with every monster you unlock Godzilla Filius to play as, with his own storyline where he protects his father from the other monsters and the Super Xs, Gotengo, and other weapons and defeats them until GE fully terraforms Earth.
I pray he never rustles my jimmies as well, my comrade. I pray. *Jimmie noises* Godzilla: *knocks on my door* Me: *opens door* "Yes??" Godzilla: "PAY ME MY JIMMIE RENT MONEY" Me: *gives fake money then slams door and locks it* Him, not realizing its fake: "Thank you."
I always ask myself.... WHY HAVEN’T THEY DONE A SHOWA GODZILLA KAIJU PROFILE YET!! Probably because it would be so goddam long. They could do multiple videos like a video just on history. But yeah, that’s what I want the most.
Since the concept of multiverses is now seemingly a thing, I genuinely think Godzilla Earth could be a great villain for "Godzilla vs Kong 2". For the two beasts to team up, it would require an insanely powerful enemy. And when Kong finds the axe, it is stuck in the skull of a much larger Godzilla, so the back story for a larger, ancestral species is already there. This could be likened to the following happening today: The American Alligator is now roaming the american south as an apex predator, but imagine for a second its ancestor Deinosuchus from the cretaceous re-emerged to reclaim its territory. Godzilla Earth fits the description of 'colossal undiscovered threat" as well as a perfect candidate for lore about the Hollow earth. I personally liked The Godzilla anime, it may be a bit slow paced at times, but at least it was an interesting and original take on Godzilla that was unlike anything we have seen before.
While the anime may not have been that good this is easily my favorite Godzilla design and favorite in general all of his moves like the atomic breath the sonic roar and tail slash are performed in such ease like how he barely opens his mouth to sonic roar yet how powerful it is and his shots are absolutely beautiful and badass
