Godzilla Movies Leaving Crunchyroll

By G. H. (Gman)Godzilla (Toho) NewsLeave a CommentPublished: January 1, 2018

In early 2015, both Destroy All Monsters and Godzilla vs. Megalon were added to the Crunchyroll streaming site--Fans have been able to watch the films for free on the streaming service for the last two years. On January 9th, at 3:00am EST, the films will be removed due to expired streaming rights.

Destroy All Monsters and Godzilla vs. Megalon were licensed by Media Blasters, but Janus Films/Criterion have now acquired the distribution rights. Both films are available to stream on STARZ and Filmstruck--Criterion hopes to re-release the films on Blu-Ray and DVD.

You can watch Destroy All Monsters on Crunchyroll here and Godzilla vs. Megalon here until January 9th.

that sucks. Im sure for everyone out there who does not own a copy of either film will miss this. My question is, are they replacing these movies with any other Godzilla films? Or any other monster movies?

riggzamortis86,
There is currently no word on whether or not Crunchyroll will stream other Godzilla movies. However they are currently streaming 10 Ultraman series.

I have been watching Ultraman Nexus in my free time and enjoying it. After Nexus, what would be the next best Ultraman series in line to get into?

It would be great to see other Kaiju shows or movies on Crunchyroll as well. Wasn't there some kind of show that featured Godzilla fighting other kaiju's? what looked like the Godzilla suit from Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla(2002) fighting anguirus from Final Wars, and King Ghidorah(looked like the suit from GMK)? I saw clips on youtube and didn't know what to make of it. What the hell was that?

riggzamortis86,
That was for a slot machine game in Japan. You can watch those in-game cut scenes here. Though the quality isn't very good.

This footage is notable for being the last Godzilla effects footage that Koichi Kawakita directed. (And honestly it looks better than much of his work in the Heisei series... :/ )

Now I feel really dumb. haha! a slot machine!? really!? I would go broke playing that money grabber. I cant believe they went through all that trouble to provide something for a slot machine! They should have made a mini-series out of it! It does look so much better than some of the other effects footage kawakita did. damn!
