What Made You a Godzilla Fan?

Godzilla has always been something that I've been aware of, but it wasn't until Spotify put the original theme on my discover weekly back in 2017 that I started to pay attention. In my first day of film studies class at university I announce KoTM was my favorite movie just to see what the pretentious as hell professor would say, and I spent the rest of the year named 'godzilla girl' (I never did film studies after that semester lol). It's kind of been a downward spiral of working through the old movies/media/studies since!

I like the following elements from the mentioned cinema. And I like big animals!

Hello everybody,
Good question! My introduction to Godzilla was in the age of 6, when I watched KING KONG VS. GODZILLA (1962) on TV. Later while later, I also watched the 1981 anime adaptation of Osamu Tezuka's Unico, which made me also an anime fan.

Ever since I am passionate about Japan, it's society, culture, history and of course entertainment industry with Big G as my center.

My first Godzilla movie was Godzilla Vs Destoryah which I watched at 6 years old then watched several more and I almost now finished with the franchise My favorite Godzilla movie was Godzilla Vs Kong! 

I saw Godzilla Vs Destoryah when I was 6, and then saw the rest of the movies(accept for a few). My favorite was Godzilla Vs Kong it was so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Monster Island!

I loved how cool he looked and the story of the first Godzilla film I ever saw (Godzilla 1954). From then on, I was a Godzilla fan.

Hello together

my name is Mete, i am 55 and i am from aschaffenburg (which is in germany.

i first came into contact with toho films when i was about 12 years old. we had a cinema here that held a youth show for the kids on saturdays. so you could watch films for 2 marks (that's about 90 cents converted). so i know a lot of gojira movies.

so much from me first

i don't want to advertise here, i use deepl instead of the google translator. it costs nothing and simply has the better AI. so if my english doesn't match, please excuse me.

greetings from aschaffenburg

ps: before I forget, of course Team Gojira!

Hi!

I discovered Godzilla and his world as a kid when kaiju movies were broadcast on TV on Saturday afternoons. I always loved Godzilla, and Destroy All Monsters really sealed the deal for me.

Years later I was able to buy bootleg videotapes with subtitle (before DVDs were available) and that really amazed me.

It's pretty amazing that something which was considered laughable back when I was young is now hitting its highest popularity!

The first kaiju movie I remember watching Varan the Unbelievable. Lol. 

Hi im new here! My name is Katie and I'm a 24yr old scorpio woman. I've been a godzilla fan ever since my dad first showed me the movies when I was a little girl! He had a bunch of the classics recorded on VHS and several of the official VHS/DVD releases too as well as scale models of G2000 Godzilla and King Ghidora ... every time one of the movies came on tv[especially ones not in his collection] we would schedule around to watch it together. My dad's all time favorite Godzilla movie is the original King Kong vs Godzilla(Its also hard to find copies of) so getting a chance to see this remake in theaters together was a really awesome experience!!!

the continuous action and the array of Monsters involved in the Godzilla movies. The first one I saw was in Black & White in 1957, never seen anything like it till then - I was hooked immediately

Just the way he looked, I love the way he knows nothing can beat him but he also protects the earth. If earth is being destroyed he destroys them. And his atomic breath, AWESOME!

Welcome!

I didn't watch a movie to get in to the Godzilla Universe. I think I saw a picture of Godzilla and then started to look some information of it. Then I watched movies. That's My story.

WELCOME!

We've had quite a few new members join up since GvK hit. Welcome to everyone new to these forums! Happy to have you!

I was in a restaurant and saw a shot of helicopters flying over enormous footprints. I immediately got interested. Turned out, that was the TriStar Godzilla. It was not long before G'14 came out, and that film made me a fan. I visited the classics and fell in love with this franchise. I have been a lurker for a long time.

By the way, I'm Chinese, so I might be a rarity here.
