7:34 that really hit... For people who don't know. In the original " rodan" of 1956 there were two of them, a male and female. However at the end of the movie, the female is stuck because of the flames of an active volcano. The male try to save her but unfortunatly he fails, and both of them perish in the volcano. A third rodan will then appears, the rodan we all know. The last of his kind.... But now he is not alone anymore ❤️
This is really heartbreaking but I have a problem with this, isn't this Rodan the heisei version?, I mean his surrogate brother exists so it has to make since.
@@Hollasias I presume it's a composite like all the other kaiju that appear in these videos. After all there's an Easter Egg referencing the events of Ghidorah The Three Headed Monster alongside noting how he still sees himself as Little Godzilla's big bro.
@@Warlord_Gruktak_Rukrak to me rodan seems more like a single mom, but maybe that's because it hits closer to home, also as you can see here at 7:10, you see two pictures, one, on the right, who kind of looks like rodan's partner, and on the left, rodan, who definitely looks more feminine compared to her partner edit: after seeing the last scene I realized that they are rodan's parents, but my point still stands that rodan looks an awful lot like her mother
I think rodand is male because on his list it said get a dad bod so im thinking he is male wow i didn't kno2 that many people agreed and thx also i might start uploading god zilla.shorts
something i absolutely ADORE about how Rodan acts here is how he occasionally behaves like a real bird. him flipping his neck back and clicking his beak like a crane when his egg hatches and hunting fish in a similar way to a black heron are such awesome little details
As a soon to be Dad, with complications with trying before, this hit a bit harder than I thought it would. You did great! Keep at it, and do your best everytime! Thank you
@@ColorInversion Yes it is the Rodan Heisei but the family lore belongs to the Rodan Showa. The author gave him that of his counterpart to enrich his story. The newspaper sheet in Motha's house also belongs to the Showa era, the characters are a combination of different timelines.
Love what a grouchy loner Godzilla is compared to his kid. this is honestly a breath of fresh air as far as fan animations in the community goes. a cute slice of life on monster island. absolutely love what an enthusiastic and proud parent Rodan is.
Definitely my cup of tea instead of the usual "destroy the monster" plots that have been overdone to this point. Imagine if someone did something like this for Jurassic Park/World? Something that steers away from the dino chasing humans to dino slice of life.
@@VideoGameStarChannelSupreme So like a Documentary? I’d be down for that. Makes me wish the animals in JWE2 acted more like modern animals with a wider range of behaviors and interactions.
Aw man the flowers the baby fell into being the same that sprouted in Rodan's sibling's shell... It's too good. Love love LOVE these Toho kaiju animations, my dude. 🥰
I just got to say "Ghidorah the Three Headed Monster" being described as that time a worm, a teenager, and an old man saved the world is something I didn't know I needed in my life. Thank you!
The fandom (and actually most of the films) often make a point of portraying Rodan as... Let's just say a jerk, so seeing him as a legitimately good guy and still having that feel completely in character is honestly heartwarming. God(zilla) bless the pterodactyl dad.
Only Legendary's Rodan is a jerk. They portrayed him as someone arrogant that when he meets someone more powerful he becomes submissive and obedient. Basically Starscream. But both Rodan Showa and Rodan Heisei are good guys, especially Heisei.
7:25 I know this is probably Rodan's own egg from which he hatched from, turned into a grave/homage for his parents, perhaps. But later when he visits Mothra and it said that he has done this all before, I wonder if it's an egg he once had and it did not have life in it. Anyways, it's heartbreaking to see.
@@Morbidly_obese_crocodile The creator confirms that's his first egg. Which is why Mothra's comforting words don't really help, cause he's already done this in the past.
@@Robotinatophat you could see in the photos in the house that it quite literally is a female and plus these animations usually switch the gender around a lot even though it’s real gender might be something else
@@Quaziesyou make the greatest kids Godzilla cartoon of the the modern era that is infinitely times better than the Elsagate cartoons that have Godzilla in it as well and what I like to call godzigate cartoons
I love how you gave rodan traits of a heron, using its wing as shade ro attract fish under it, him using his beak to make noise and express himself, I love it!
I don't blame you for thinking that, I thought Manda the serpent asshat ate the last infant Rodan had in his care which was why he lost his shit at the serpent, but forgot about the movie- (Alsp don't mind the spelling error, totally didn't get gaslit)
I love the detail of Rodan clicking his beak when he’s happy or excited, as I believe that’s a thing birds and most likely pterosaurs used to do to express their emotions.
It’s easy to forget that Rodan, Like Mothra, was first seen in his own movie during the classic showa era, but was later added to Toho’s famous roster of “Godzilla” Kaiju. Easily one of my favorite Kaiju of all time, but I feel like he hasn’t gotten the respect he deserves. Well, until now. This video is 🔥
I think he's gotten plenty of respect. at least compared to most other monsters anyway. He's the first monster (along with Mothra) to be considered Godzilla's ally, he's part of the Big 5 (Showing up in each era) and; like you said, he's a monster who got his own movie before becoming part of the Godzillaverse. Granted, he's probably the least talked about of the big five, but Mothra, King Ghidorah and Mechagodzilla are just far more talked about.
Early showa rodan was like Godzillas equal where they didn’t necessarily like eachother but would work together if need be Hopefully we can see monsterverse rodan kinda follow suit and ally with Godzilla to defeat a greater enemy one of these days
☑️Minor spoilers☑️ The fact that you connected rodans first movie and connecting that by showing the portraits of his parents and him being hesitant of going into the room (presumably by having PTSD from losing his parents) and the ending shot of his parents and the baby from the broken egg (which almost made me cry). This whole episode was so well done, amazing job
The subtle ques of Rodan looking back at his home and the background motions of gathering the flowers for a later emotional reveal really show a talent and skill in story telling as well as animation
THIS CHAPTER IS GLORIOUS, I loved its narrative, the backgrounds used, the details, the colors, and the plot of the baby Rodan, it was worth the wait. each animation is better in detail, drawing, easter eggs, story, EVERYTHING

I love that expression! 3:27 - My Dad laughed his head off at this part. 3:49 - Wait… is that Fairy Mothra sitting on that rock? 4:04 - Look, guys! He's got Godzilla on his tail! Manda: Hee-hee. I've got Godzilla on my- Oh! 6:10 - That's gotta be Oodako (the giant octopus from 1962). 6:10 - G.

Who thinks there should be an episode where these three kids fight Ghidorah (as a homage to the 1964 movie)? 13:09 - I'm crying from the inside.
@@connorenriquez5346 I think it's more like THIS rodan is the child of those two and they died and the egg in rodan's house was HIS egg that he broke out of
The room scene is very emotional. They way I see it, it was Rodan's old egg and he's paying respect to his parents that died in the 1956 movie from the volcano. Maybe the reason he's doing parenting research is to make sure he's present after having to growing up by himself with the only family he had being Little Godzilla and learning how to be a dad for the 1st time since his passed away to teach him. Based on the credits, the parent figures he had were Showa Goji & Mothra. That's just my interpretation. Overall I love these animations and can't wait to see more along with Lil Pootis.
What can I say that has not already been said? This is the best kaiju animation I have seen. The warm and bright colors with the emotion in every scene, the monsters up the wazoo. 1000/10. Perfect!
The horror I felt when Manda cracked the egg was legitimately visceral like i felt my stomach clench from that and it didnt let go until Rodan Jr came out of the gg and he is so cute i am sobbing
How is it possible that an 11 minute animation could make a monster take care of an egg, it made me feel more emotions and feelings than the last 10 Disney movies, you are incredible, keep it up
I love the fact that you give more prominence to the other monsters than to Godzilla, it seems very accurate to me, since Godzilla always overshadowed the protagonism of the other monsters, good job ❤️👍
OMG, I love how wholesome and heartwarming this is. I love the relationship between Little and Rodan. Awesome step-bros. And Mothra just enjoys helping Rodan out thanks to their history and friendship. Rodan just wants to be a good parent and He will success I'm sure. Seriously all your Godzillla animations are so amazing and a blast to watch. Thank you for making these!!
This has to be my favorite of all of the godzilla animations you've done so far! Your art style, storytelling and animation skills just keep getting better and better.
It’s emotional how like the Showa there were two Rodans and in this it’s like the mother had passed away and yet protected a future for their baby and soulmate 😪 that part gets me so heartbreaking
This is my 2 year old daughters favorite series to watch! She asks to watch Gojira every day and she specifically points to this series when I scroll through videos. It's a fantastic introduction to the series without too much violence. Thank you so much for taking the time to create these! ❤ 🦖
You always know how to convey a story without any actual forms of audible words just emotion and letting the animation speak for itself. Beautiful stuff, simply amazing as always.
6:06 I love that Gezora runs a ice cream shop! For those who don’t know, in Space Amoeba, Gezora is able to freeze water temperature around it and cause frostbite to those it touches with it’s tentacles. It makes me wonder if Kamoebas and Ganimes will show up in later episodes. Love this series and Lil’ Pootis btw!
I never knew I wanted a “day in the life of…” Godzilla series but here we are and I am SO here for it every time you upload an episode of it. The little ones are just pure serotonin every time they’re on screen.
Rodan's fear of the egg not hatching and trauma from the last egg brings tears to the eyes and is very heartbreaking but the fact he gets his happy ending is heartwarming, your way of story telling is fabulous and tbh I'm excited to see the 2nd Generation of the Monster Island crew with the added addition of Rodan Jr (A solo episode featuring Godzilla Jr, Mothra Jr and Larve A.K.A Mothra's children and Rodan Jr please I need that episode in my life)
Love this so much I watched it several times with and without the funny narration. The emotional stare and despair Rodan showed looking at the empty shell hit hard. That relief of meeting his baby is done so masterful. Love the bgm and sfx. This is high quality movie materials. I would love to see more 🎉 Thanks for your hard work and make everyone’s day so much sweeter and happier!
Quazie you never fail to make these Kaiju the most adorable creatures imaginable :D Seeing Rodan want to be the best Dad he can, and getting a happy ending after his previous attempt, was some infectious heartbreak and happiness
I love every animation you do, they are truly amazing! Rodan has been a favorite of mine since I was little, and this one animation reignited that love I had for him. Thank you so much. Maybe one day Ebirah will get her time in the spotlight, you don’t get the title “horror of the deep” for nothing.
4:38 One thing I noticed is the little X on Godzilla's neck. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but is that a reference to the actual Godzilla suits from the Showa Era? Like the little air holes for the suit actors? If not, then it's a funny coincidence.
Oh my god! It’s so good! Rodan is such a unique character for his personality, and I’m glad it’s utilised here. The animation, the artwork, the story, the BABY! Fantastic work mate!
@@KingDrakoTyrell it definitely sucks a little. But given how many times Rodan been a cheeky a#s to Godzilla, I’m not surprised. Still, little g loves him, so maybe the big G will soften up to him.
@@Cryptic-Cryo yes, if there’s ever a big fight, rodan will probably end up fighting alongside top G himself. Or at the very least, protecting baby G :D
I friggin love it! If I had to complain about anything at all, I kinda wished it was explained a little bit more why Manda just eats babies. A bunch of characters get their own bio, while the one I have the most questions about gets nothing
Your story telling is unbelievably touching. I almost cried when the egg got stolen. I love your animations and your kaiju series so much! This one was incredibly heartfelt, you have a nack for making emotional stories! I laughed, almost cried and overall it just gave me such a warm feeling. Things like this is getting me more and more into Toho stuff.
As a dad, I really liked this animation. My kids enjoyed it, too! My boy asked who's egg was in the house, and if it hatched, I, uh...I didn't really know how to explain that to him.
That's rodans egg(this Rodan in the video) and those pictures are his mom and dad but i don't really know Because in king of the monster 1956 there's two rodans who got burned in the volcano because of the female Rodan being stuck
@@oswaldus8657 Why would he lay flowers at his own egg? That was his first egg that didn't result in a baby rodan. The subtitles said as much when he was at Mothra's and she said some babies need more time, but he had "done all this before".
Bro why did THIS animation of all things make me tear up? I cannot believe how cute and wholesome it was for a freakin' *Godzilla* animation; the music choices. Really high-quality too, and the music choices certainly elevated it. Keep up the good work. ❤
This just gives off the BEST kinds of Saturday morning cartoon vibes that is favoured by both children and adults alike, this one episode in particular is off the charts in terms of animation and wholesomeness
Exactly every thing about this is just wholesome, there were some bits where I didn’t know anything about because I’m not familiar with the Godzilla lore but like at the end of this video I feel bad for Godzilla Jr because apparently he only has two friends on monster island :(
I noticed there were no closed captions during the scene where Rodan lays flowers by his egg. Very good move: really allows the imagery and music to just speak for itself in such an emotional moment of mourning.
I haven't cried since Minus one. This was so cute to see. The baby was by far the best reveal,but the reveal of the pictures to his parents made this one my favorite. You can feel just how worried rodan is to be a father,and when his dream is finally complete,he can rest easy with his newborn child.
My Dad found the first Godzilla animation you did (borger) and we all loved it. We have a Godzilla home, especially my Dad who has been a diehard fan of the franchise since the beginning. We watched through all of your animations in anticipation for this one, and it did not disappoint! It was so fun catching little hints here and there like a scavenger hunt (my Dad appreciates every detail you put in!) This was beautiful, and you truly are one of the pillars in the Godzilla fandom imo
Literally so impressive and the style is just so incredible this is adorable and beautiful I love it omg Dino print making class this is literally one of the best things I’ve ever seen look at that foreshortened pencil I love this I love you
Love Rodan doing his research, he's so sweet! Love how he hunts like a black heron in the last scene. You are so good at creating monsters who are intelligent but don't act like humans in costumes. 10/10 series
I love how there are no words to be spoken. Yet you can feel and understand every little emotion in this movie. Rodan as a toho own character has always been a deep and philosophical monster. And youve done them much more justice than most ❤
