Have I mentioned that I love Godzilla? I didn’t just watch a couple Godzilla movies when I was a kid, I watched all of them – then the entirety of the Showa and Heisei series, as well as the TriStar version that we’d be better off forgetting. While I may not be 100% any more on the Millennium and MonsterVerse outings, I still have a deep affection for the character, and that whether in more dark and dramatic outings (like the original known as “King of the Monsters” in its American recut, Shin Godzilla, or the recognition-earning Minus One) or whether it’s in pure Tokusatsu cheese (like Destroy All Monsters or Godzilla vs. Mothra). I even have some affection for the really campy stuff like Godzilla vs. Megalon.
So, suffice to say, with my affection for the big screen outings whether suitmation or CGI, I was pretty excited to see the King of the Monsters getting a fresh animated series outing. And I do mean a fresh one – for those who don’t know, there were two older American animated versions, a Hanna-Barbera version from the late 70’s and one from the late 90’s that tried its best to redeem the TriStar continuity. But we’re not here today for Godzooky or ‘Zilla (nor the late 2010s animated films, which are “maybe some day” fare for this blog), we’re here for what was pitched as a new, original take on the classic Kaiju in Godzilla: Singular Point.
I will try to stamp down my fanboy urges as we go through this one, but I can’t promise that I’ll never slip.
