Gamera feeling jealous of chonky Legendary Godzilla.

EDIT: Shocking no one, Gyaos is one of the 5 enemy kaiju Gamera is fighting.

Monster #2 confirmed to be Jiger.

"The last summer. Friends. And Kaiju--. In the summer of 1989, Boko, Joe, and Junichi, all sixth grade elementary school students, were having their last summer vacation. Each of them is worried about their future. Brody, the son of a US military commander, appears before the three of them and steals away the money they have saved together. Boko and his friends are furious and plan a plan to get their money back. As they are about to carry out the plan, the town is threatened. The kaiju Gyaos suddenly attacks Tokyo. The four are petrified in a town ruined by Gyaos. As Gyaos sets its sights on them, a huge kaiju appears. Its name is Gamera. This is the beginning of their "Summer of Kaiju." Kaiju appear one after another, and Gamera fights back despite his wounds. The boys witness the legend."

A rather bad translation, imo, but you kind of get the point. Wonderful, Sen. Mike Lee is going to call for the abandonment of Japan over a kaiju anime.

Spoiler

Have a better look at the chonky big guy.


And a look at the other monsters in less detailed toys.

The kaiju action looks fantastic.

Animation reminds me of Pacific Rim The Black, which I know turned some people off.

I do really hope the last monster is Iris.

Kaiju #3 is Zigra.

Gamera! He was my favorite! I'm going to get past my dislike of animation to jump on this for sure.

This looks terrific. Very excited for this.

Out now. In very surprising news, it looks like each episode is 40 minutes, which I was NOT expecting. Not common in animation, and I was just assuming this was a 2 hour movie split into 6 episodes. So good news.

For a series with a tag line of "Friend of Children", I tend to forget how horrific Gyaos is.
