GODZILLA is a cultural phenomenon, with at least two big-budget American movies on the way (with the upcoming KING OF THE MONSTERS and GODZILLA VS. KONG), as well as a theatrically released anime called GODZILLA: PLANET OF THE MONSTERS. It will then immediately become available to stream on Netflix in America. Here’s the official synopsis:
In the year 2048, the human race is forced to leave Earth after decades of losing against Godzilla and other giant monsters. They take a twenty year journey to another planet called Tau Ceti e, but upon arrival, they discover that the planet has become uninhabitable. As living conditions on their ship deteriorate, a young man named Haruo spearheads a movement to return to Earth and take it back from the monsters. The ship successfully makes the return voyage, but the crew discovers that twenty thousand years have passed and Earth’s ecosystem has evolved, with Godzilla reigning atop the new food chain.

That sounds like a really stupid idea…but also a kick-ass one. The idea of exploring a world with only Godzilla and monsters, and how that would manifest sans humans, is actually pretty interesting. At least it’s original. Not sure how it will manifest in the anime itself, but I can’t deny I’m intrigued.
Meanwhile, GODZILLA: PLANET OF THE MONSTERS will stomp onto Netflix November 17th.
