Not necessarily Godzilla related, but in the same realm of Daikaiju media, fans will be very pleased to know that Kaiju movies Reigo: The Deep Sea Monster vs. The Battleship Yamato and Raiga: The Monster From The Deep Sea have officially been licensed for a North American release, according to Sci-Fi Japan!

Both independent films (which were written and directed by Shinpei Hayashiya, who also created the fan film Gamera 4: Truth) were recently acquired for distribution by SRS Cinema LLC.

According to Sci-Fi Japan, SRS Cinema are planning to bring Reigo to DvD this November or December, while Raiga is expected to make its way onto DvD by summer 2020.

Godzilla x Kong: Supernova will hit theaters on March 26th, 2027!

They're indie kaiju films from the mid-to-late 2000s. They were directed by Shinpei Hayashiya who did the fan made Gamera 4: The Truth.

Nice to hear that it's getting a DVD release here, I hope the third Raiga movie also gets released here.

Can we have a little background info on these kaiju? More importantly, where can I find Gamera 4?

KingKiajuGojira- I don't think you can see Gamera 4. I think it's only been shown at some film festivals, and isn't on DVD.

Gmkgoji Yeah, these guys look awesome.

But which monster is which? Whose name is Raiga and whose name is Reigo? (Which name belongs to which monster?)

Gmkgoji Thanks. (Hopefully. I'm not sure if someone would say otherwise, hence the "hopefully".) I was wondering because I wanted to make a compliment on the Mosasaur-esque monster design. (Because it looks super cool.)
