Godzilla Anime Film TRILOGY Announced!

By Danzilla93Godzilla (Toho) NewsLeave a CommentPublished: March 26, 2017

Yes, you read that right. Thanks to the "Animation Film Godzilla Special Stage" event that occurred yesterday (japan time) at the AnimeJapan 2017 convention, we now have confirmation that the new Godzilla anime film (titled Godzilla: Monster Planet) will only be the beginning.

The announcement of two follow up anime films means that there are now a total of SIX Godzilla films in development: Legendary’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters and Godzilla vs Kong, the still unconfirmed Shin Godzilla sequel (although it seems inevitable), the upcoming Godzilla: Monster Planet, and now its two sequels. It is, as they say, an UNBELIEVABLE time to be a fan.

In addition, character names/artwork were revealed. Check out the characters below!

Mamoru Miyano plays the lead role, Haruo Sakaki.

Takahiro Sakurai plays Metphies, the Exif alien who understands Haruo well

Kana Hanazawa plays the heroine Yuko Tani, who grew up with Haruo after he was orphaned

Tomokazu Sugita plays Martin Lazzari, an optimistic environmental biologist working with the military

Yuuki Kaji plays Adam Bindewald, a young landing ship pilot who respects Haruo

Junichi Suwabe plays Mulu-Elu Galu-gu, a Bilsard alien

Stay tuned for more news on the Godzilla anime trilogy as it develops!

Thanks to Anime News Network for the heads up!

Sorry for the GI-FRIGGING-NORMOUS pictures! I can't seem to get my edit button to work. I'll shrink them down as soon as possible.

It's such a good time to be a G-Fan, and a fan of the genre in general. This is pretty much THREE concurrently running movie series at one time between Legendary, whatever Toho decides to do as a follow up to Shin Goji and now an anime movie series. It's hard to ask for much better than that.

WOOOOWOOOOO!!!! What a time to be a Godzilla/Kaiju fan!

@KingKaijuGojira Same, I was hoping they'd unveil Godzilla at Anime Japan. Hopefully we get to see him soon.

I have a feeling this trilogy won't be that great. Anime always seems to pull in certain cliches and stereotypes, so I'm skeptical too see what will happen. However, I will keep an open mind.

I hope it'll be better than good.
