GODZILLA: PLANET OF THE MONSTERS Releases First Official Teaser Trailer
The first Godzilla anime, Polygon Pictures' Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters has released its first teaser trailer- offering a brief glimpse of the kaiju king.
The first footage from Polygon Pictures' Godzilla anime reveals a visual aesthetic similar to Knights of Sidonia or Blame!. That's certainly understandable as one of the film's co-directors worked on both of these titles. While both shows are generally well-reviewed, the use of cg is surely going to be off-putting to some 2D animation purist.
The project is the first in a planned trilogy. Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters (Godzilla: Kaijū Wakusei) arrives in Japanese theaters on November 17 before arriving on Netflix shortly thereafter.
Kobun Shizuno and Hiroyuki Seshita serve as co-directors while Gen Urobuchi and Yūsuke Kozaki handled script duties.
