Should there be a Godzilla anime series based on the 2014 movie?

Just wondering, should (or will) there be a Godzilla anime series based on the 2014 movie?

While the 98 movie crashed and burned with most critics and fans, the follow-up cartoon based on the Zilla movie actually had a somewhat better reception.

And if I'm not mistaken, the Toho Godzilla series almost all had an accompanied manga to go with it. And of course, we had Marvel, Dark Horse and now IDW running a Godzilla comic series. So if it worked on the comic page, surely it can work on the screen?

Besides, thanks to Voltron, Robotech (or "Macross" as I prefer to call it), Sailor Moon and Dragon Balls, most Western audience are now quite familiar with Japan-originated animation, so Godzilla, being a Japan-originated creation, should have no problem...right?

What ingredients must this anime have? What pitfalls must it avoid?

Or is it a bad idea?

I am not sure of what ingredients a Godzilla anime would have, but it should avoid everything the movies avoided.

As for this idea; I would love it. I don't watch anime, but this would definitely get me in.

That would be nice, although I ain't really a fan of anime so I probably wouldn't watch it.

As I am a big anime fan myself i should have a lot to say about topic.... but no, all recommendations i have basically amount to one thing. APADT Godzilla: Half Century War! it has a lot places you could fill in content that would easily last 13 eps  (standard anime season length), there's lots of monsters, characters and plus the art already kind of has that manga feel to it. Now if you were talking a kids cartoon.... I got nothing. the only reason the godzilla the series did feel like godzilla movies more was because tv was letting a lot more serious shows and styles in the 90s with shows like Men in Black and Gargoyles which i doubt they could today.

@SmaugTheMagnificent- You're kidding? A Cthulu anime? See now, with that on the table, surely Godzila could make the cut!

Mediafreak- I agree, Half Century War was a cut above the rest in terms of story and character. I would love to see an anime of that.

Godzilla Himself-Yeah, the animation and look of Godzilla has to be up to standard for a start.

Devianteist-That gave me an idea, maybe we'll be suggesting a Godzilla vs Cthulu anime soon! Don't know what the Lovecraft fans would think of that though...:)

Wow... how insightful. I love how detailed your reasoning is, how you provide your opinion with a relatable frame of context and make sure it's not offensive at all.

Sarcasm isn't dead by the way.

Baurudabrown-Well Godzilla is a Japan-originated creature so anime would seem to fit it well naturally. But of course, other cartoon styles will work provided it gets Godzilla look and power right.
