Godzilla: S.P

I feel many things after watching this anime, in part I like it and in another part I dislike it. The good things it has are the protagonists who are always close but far away, afterwards, how artificial intelligence develops is very well achieved and how contrasts are made between the different characters by age. Because of how one and the other think. From the first chapter it is full of questions that the series tries to answer you as the chapters go by. You are assuming things with the new information they give you. The bad thing is that I do not feel that it is a godzilla series until chapter 8 more or less, you always see re op creatures that are destroying things and that but I feel that the title is only to attract more attention quietly the anime could have another name and I think it would be much better since it does not influence you when choosing the anime. I recommend it is entertaining but you will not see much of godzilla. En español: Siento muchas cosas después de ver este anime en parte me gusto y en otra parte me disgusto. Las cosas buenas que tiene son los protagonistas que siempre están cerca pero lejos, después como se desarrolla la inteligencia artificial esta muy bien logrado y como se hace contrastes entre los distintos personajes por la edad. Por como piensa uno y otro. Desde el primer capitulo esta lleno de preguntas que la serie te trata de responder a medida que pasan los capítulos. Vas suponiendo cosas con la información nueva que te dan. Lo malo es que no siento que sea una serie de godzilla hasta el capitulo 8 mas o menos, siempre se ve criaturas re op que están destruyendo cosas y eso pero siento que el titulo solo es para llamar mas la atención tranquilamente el anime podría tener otro nombre y creo que seria mucho mejor ya que no te influencia a la hora de elegir el anime. Lo recomiendo es entretenido pero no vas a ver mucho a godzilla.

"If there ever was an age of miracles it ended a long time ago. They're called miracles because they don't happen." I'll be honest after my previous experiences with Godzilla and anime, I didn't have the highest of hopes for this one, but I can put those doubts away because this… is incredible! and the sole reason I'm going to be mega tired for the rest of the day due to binging this all this morning. Although the first two episodes are admittedly a bit of a slog once you hit episode three the series kicks into overdrive and never stops. Brilliantly directed by Atsushi Takahashi and scored just as well by Kan Sawada, studio Bones have outdone themselves with this one. Although admittedly you are more likely to get something more out of this is you are a Godzilla fan to begin with. Otherwise you're gonna be hopelessly lost at points. Overall, Godzilla Singularity Point maybe a little light on the characterisation but the Kaiju action is plentiful and the characters are endearing. My man Jet Jaguar also had the biggest glow up, bravo. Also Mei totally reminds me of a friend of mine and I can never unsee that. "When the sea is stained red, the Beast of End Times will emerge from the boundary."

This series started extremely promising with the first few episodes, with a completely different approach and story-line that is radically different from previous Godzilla works. There are a mixture of both mystery, suspense and plenty of scientific jargon that will make sci-fi fans very happy. Animation is pretty good also using a pretty retro and abstract style to give the series a more retro feel. The first 6 to 7 episodes are pretty good, slowly building up the suspense with many technical elements mixed into the story. The plot also seemed pretty good and deep for the first half of the anime series. However things started to nosedive though the later part of the series. The thing that is very turn off for me is that how godzilla came to be is extremely similar to Shin Godzilla the movie. It just felt to me that the writers felt lazy for the second half of the series. The story was getting too complicated with so many technical jargon that one have to re-watch many conversation scenes just to understand what they are talking about. The major disappointment was that the anime title was titled "Godzilla Sp" but Godzilla only appeared for pretty brief moments in the entire anime towards the final few episodes. And the ending is obviously extremely rushed and just destroyed whatever satisfaction there is and the point of watching the entire anime. Overall I find that this anime's potential is terribly wasted because they tried to squeeze in too much stuff over 13 episodes. An extremely disappointing ending ruined the entire series.

Don't get misleaded by "GODZILLA" PROS :- - The Art Style The art style is really a major standout for this Anime. Every character design looks unique & vibrant. The monster character designs, Radons, Spiders & of course Godzilla gives the feel of the monster that they are. The series is made by studios "bones" (FMAB & MHA) & "Orange" (Land of the Lustrous & Beastars) and you can tell who's making what, if I've seen their previous works. The human designs looks so vibrant which are hand drawn. And the monster design look creepy & scary but unique, which is thanks to the CGI. Many have a misconception that CGI is always bad but that's definitely not the case here. The clunky CGI really worked for the creepiness & monstrous look for the giant, other wordly creatures. CONS :- - Bland Characters During every episode which has a monster attacking a character, I constantly asked myself, "Why should I care for you?". I know that sounds really harsh & edgy, but seriously the characters are just so bland, they feel more like "Plot devices" than actual characters. Their only personality is their design & maybe their high intelligence but nothing else. The series focusses so much on the plot and the sci-fi element, which completely forgets that these are people. Only memorable character are the AIs who shows more personality than people. Things we can debat on:- This is a section where few things may or may not apply to others that I personally found bad. So, these may not be cons or pros. - Lack of more Godzilla "I mean, c'mon.... You have Godzilla in the title and there are like what! A 20 minute scenes in the whole 13 episodes Anime?? Are you kidding me!?" is what many might think after watching this. I haven't watched many Godzilla films (watched only two of them) but I think that shouldn't be considered here. This is Anime with not much to the production, and that's a live-action Hollywood film with more budget. It's kinda unfair to compare both, but that's really understandable if you are someone who expected to see big creatures fight and hated this work. I don't really disliked lack of Godzilla, but it could've been so much better if Godzilla had much screentime - The Sci-fi Element Honestly, it is pretty interesting how the series managed to convey it's sci-fi element through boring dialogues. The exposition is completely based on more & *more* dialogue, which is very fast paced(for sub watchers, Dub seems to be fine). For Die Hard Sci-fi fans who constantly wants to wrap their head around, this show can be a treat. For me though, I really found it boring even though it's actually interesting. You could actually tell the creators did their research. I mean, HELL. One of the spiritual theories they talk about(The Bagvadgita) is something I'm familiar of. It's really nice to a homage for my country. But that's kinda it. I really appreciate it, but it didn't impressed me because of the bland execution through boring dialogue. - The Blend between 2D & 3D In the series(and few Anime in general), you have few scenes where they blend the 2D & 3D together. Now this is a little problem for me. While they are good in their own way, they aren't really good together because the distinction is visible. I personally think it's a little out of the place cause it didn't worked well. This is a very common problem for anything that tries to blend 2D & 3D. You have the infamous CGI crowds that looks so out of the place that it can put you off like in many Anime, but then you also have something like "Land of the Lustrous" CGI that really uses 3D in a way that many still framed 2D scenes can't try to deliver. TL;DR May not be for GODZILLA fans**, but it can be a good watch for "Die hard Sci-fi fans". For people who just want to check this out tho, not really worth your time.

Now, before I start saying anything, I will say this: I was a huge Godzilla fan as a kid, and I'd say I'm still somewhat a follower of the franchise (both from Japanese and Western media), and I can avidly say that this is by far one of the most interesting and ambitious stories I've ever seen come out of it. If you like science-y confusing stories with lots of terminology being thrown at your face, then chances are, you'll like this one. With that said, I can get into Godzilla: S.P's strengths. First of all, the soundtrack is as good as ever. Aside from the FANTASTIC classic pieces from the original Godzilla series of movies, the opening song ("in case..." by BiSH) is an absolute banger, and the ominous yet enchanting "Alapu Upala" sung by Annette Phillip is a delight every time it appears. Second, I'd like to mention the art and animation. As some people know, Studio Bones is a studio with an outstanding track record. I must say, that the unique art style of Godzilla S.P. feels right at home with the other animes on that list. Furthermore, the collaboration with Studio Orange is an excellent fit. Fantastic CGI as always from them. Now we can start with the negatives, starting with the characters. I had high hopes for this aspect of the show. All of the characters have very charming designs and are very unique to each other. I just find it a shame that none of them displayed any form of personality. The two main characters are mainly there to just explain what's going on and ask questions to the supporting cast. Their only redeeming personality traits are being smart. Though, I suppose no personality is better than the pseudo, fake personalities from the Western movies. At the very least, they're not annoying, just a little bit lifeless. My other problem with this anime is the ending. I won't discuss exactly what happens, but if you're worried about getting spoiled anyway, just skip to the next paragraph. In short, I kind of just feel let down by the ending. What they did was cool, but I can't help but consider it a deus ex machina. It kind of came out of nowhere, and for some reason it tied up all of the loose ends despite only being hinted at in a short line of dialogue that no one would expect to be significant. Anyway my verdict is, if you like complicated science-y stuff, then this is the show for you. Don't expect any character depth, but if you pay attention you'll probably be hooked by the mystery aspect of the show. Would not recommend for people who want to see a lot of fighting. This anime is extremely dialogue heavy, so try not to watch it if you're short on sleep. I liked it though. It was definitely a pleasant surprise for me.

This series does a lot of things really well - we get some really fun and charming characters, an adorable and ethically questionable mascot, some fun sci-fi, and a nice little dollop of spooky suspense. It's really cool to see a re-tooled Jet Jaguar as a central element, and now I feel strongly that I would protect that beautiful robot with my life. Our humans are also pretty fun, as we are blessed with a chaotic old dude who is ready to risk it all, and some computer kids who text faster than I can think. Powerful stuff. My major criticism of the show would be that it focuses, in my mind, a bit too much on its tech plot. It starts to lean a little bit too hard on techno gibberish that I think would be more compelling if shrouded in a bit more mystery. The series has some nice spooky moments, so if it leaned away from the hard sci-fi and more into the eerie elements I think it would balance it out better. We also don't really get as much focus on the kaiju themselves as I'd like, which would work really nicely alongside that creepy vibe if they brought more of it in. Overall I really enjoyed it and I thought it had some really fun, exciting, and surprising moments that made it a compelling series. And Jet Jaguar is my special little man.

Godzilla: S.P (2021) A retro show in the modern era. Many people don't like this and most seem to suggest it was too confusing. That isn't true they just expected humans to fight monsters with no explanation of when, where, why, how, what. This show is very good at showing a much more expansive story than just fighting for survival and showing a more intelligent route. Also nice to see Godzilla progress from a before and after, showing how it isn't just some dinosaur looking monster. The art is a really crazy old style but in a fresh new layout. I personally love the art most of the entire show. I think it is superb to look at and such a refreshing style. The sound they used is simple yet complex. Simple in that it isn't too technical. Complex in that so much can be going on and the clarity is clear. The characters are something that seems to confuse many in that they are separate stories that work together and cross over each other. They don't need to be with each other the entire time to actually make sense of the story since like in real life, not every character is literally stood next to each other. The show from start to finish is a good run, it is enjoyable but isn't anything of a masterpiece. I would happily watch more seasons of this show but it won't be anything crazy amazing to watch but is worthwhile your time. 8/10.

Anime Date Roulette 🎰 Review 1 🎰 aired XX/01/XXXX A new anime roulette game, a new series of reviews, and we start off the series with the most famous kaiju of all... Godzilla! Now what to say about this anime though... if i have to be honest, not very much. Godzilla S.P. is what i would classify as a dumb fun anime, while it may not be everyone's idea of entertainment, if you're not picky about having a grand plot and love you some kaiju you may find some enjoyment from it as something to just chill out to, the CGI is decent and the vibrant aesthetic hides lots of fun little details within it. Unfortunately we now circle back the the TBH i started this paragraph with as i really don't know what else to say beyond it has adorable kaiju It's a very mid-tier anime that you may or may not enjoy depending on what you're looking for and as i've said in some previous reviews, the mid is the hardest to review as it doesn't really give you much to either praise or rant about

Godzilla Singular Point as a whole is a good anime with it's own take on the famous kaiju. The opening slaps hard and very enjoyable to listen before the episode starts. The ending is good as well even showing famous Godzilla monsters from the past as a love letter to the fans of the kaiju genre. The fights were well done and amazing to watch, even showing weight in each fight. Some would argue that the CG in a fight would look awful, but not in this case. The story overall I thought was pretty good, though the explanation of figuring out on how to beat Godzilla can be muddled with explanation that sounds like something out of a college level physics and math class. Some would argue that it completely muddles the pacing of the show, even though I agree to an extent I like the explanations as if it were a detective figuring out a crime. The art style and animation is great. It didn't feel like a power point presentation and the character designs are memorable. It follows that art rule of where even though you see the character's silhouette, you instantly know who it is. Jet Jaguar's character design is reminiscent of it's original design mixed with a new take on it. Overall, this is a good entry to the Godzilla franchise and I think you should give it a watch. Not only it shows already famous kaijus but also ones that only a select few would remember from the old films. Plus, after what was shown in the after credits in the last episode, I am now excitedly and patiently waiting for season 2 when it does get announced.

Godzilla: Singular Point is a very well written story based around a premise nobody actually cares about: Could a kaiju actually exist? No, of course not. Anyone who has graduated middle school knows this. They're too big, amongst other obvious flaws. Godzilla as a creature was never meant to be a hard sci-fi concept; he was meant to be an allegory for nuclear war. Or the protector of children, or a giant slapstick monster, depending on the movie. But our writer may have gotten into too many internet arguments about the realism of Godzilla and other kaiju, and said "Well, screw you! I'll use my physics degree to make a story where Godzilla is real!" To his credit, the writer absolutely succeeded. I was hit with so many science jargon terms that I was convinced that it was potentially plausible. But in the end, I and many other viewers don't actually care about whether or not Godzilla could be real. We care about the story being told. In the end, Godzilla: Singular Point is a 13 episode series about creating a plausible reason for two big monsters to punch each other. To be fair, the monster fights are enjoyable! But I can't say the payoff is worth the wait. The visuals were competent. I enjoyed the visual of the red dust. The CG was also acceptable, and the movements weren't too janky. The soundtrack was unremarkable, and the characters felt like living scientific dictionaries meant to spit jargon at me. Overall, would I recommend this? Yes, but watch the first few episodes before you commit yourself to the show. I'm sure many people who come for big monsters slapping each other will be put off by the show's insistence on explaining extradimensional physics.

Its not a power fantasy LN adaptation. So its already head and shoulders above most of its competition. Really though unless you binge it there are too many plot points mixed with techno jargon and philosophical concepts to keep straight. Granted the show doesn't just spout them and does visualize and explain them but its still tough to follow at times. They makes some pretty insane leaps of logic too, probably the result of having a conclusion and writing backwards to fill out the season. All that said it knows its stuff and despite the shotgun blast of information coming at you there is surprisingly little fat left. The concepts are explained, the reality bending aspects are properly forecast for those looking, the characters still get personality and likability. Exposition is done in interesting locations and through interesting actions especially around Kaiju. The animation is pretty damn solid too, even the notoriously bad japanese CG anime aspects are much more tolerable here. This is definitely more in the vein of Shin Godzilla then anything before. More about the human response than the monsters duking it out. So people's disappointment there is understandable but the resulting anime is still great. I'd give this show a 7.5 out of 10.

HEAR ME OUT, JUST DO IT!! what is the most incredible part in godzilla s.p is that the lastest versions who include kaijus in this specific way (fighting against them directly) was weak by STORY AND DEVELOPMENT (not of characters, im talking about the narrative); S.P give us a lot of phishic informations? yes. sometimes it feels like a "blablabla"? yes. but HEAR ME OUT: what if (WHAT IF) it happens for real? imagine this being a movie from hollywood (maybe by Nolan cause this plot...is really like what Nola usually does) . im glad i have give this anime a chance, me, a sci-fi nerd since always, have enjoyed every single episode, and losing my mind with the plot... About the Narrative: This Have Remembered Me of the Movie Shin Godzilla by Hideaki Anno, He Have Made a Movie More Realist by the Question: "What if Gojira really attacked Japan?" and the answer is the movie. The movie is 90% about diplomacy and science, because its the KIND OF PROFESSIONAL THAT YOU NEED TO FIGHT KAIJUS! understand now why i loved it??

Physics Online Classroom wrapped in the Godzilla series. but the Cgi, Cinematography and Writing sides are very detailed and graceful. This is the best experimental anime for Godzilla Kaiju Franchise i liked it honor and tributed alot of past Godzilla Franchise as a refrence in Key Visuals or easter eggs in this anime. I also liked this is also the first time Godzilla try to implement Hard Scifi into Godzilla in Anime format. as like back in the 90s anime era when anime had scifi with a hard scifi elements implented in their narrative and lore tends to be very Otakuish at some point but i liked when Kaiju culture got into this deep of level nerdiness. And for Art i liked the way they implement 2.5D in this anime its very good and suitable with the art style. and the music really made me think of some type of Ghost in the shell type of mystery vibe to it also for action pieces its very epic

Very interesting story, this is not a generic anime or kaiju series, combining aspects such as computing, theoretical physics, philosophy and much more. The art style so good But maybe the main character's build is a bit similar to gin I like the character somehow But it's a bit of a shame that Godzilla gets such minimal airtime,I like the way Arikawa Yun, our main character, thinks, for many people it is confusing. So for the character again Not that realistic But, thats it I recommend this anime, only when you are ready. The complexity of this story is very confusing for most people, it is not easy to understand, maybe you need to watch it more than 13 times. I hope whoever solves this anime gets the Nobel prize.

Okay, this anime is kind of a weird one. There's a lot of very convoluted sciency stuff, now I ain't no expert so I don't know how accurate it is (however considering that it includes time travel I would guess that at the most it is theoretically sound, I wouldn't know either way). I imagine this leads to the average viewer being confused around 50% of the time due to this stuff taking up about half of each episode. This show feels kinda like the writers wanted to get their hypothesis on time travel and parallel dimensions out there but they didn't want to propose the theory in a scientific way due to fear of being ridiculed. I mean, hey, as far as I know the writers might have accidentally discovered time travel and I would be none the wiser. But I'm willing to assume that it is actually a whole load of bs that doesn't actually make sense. I still don't really know what an "orthodox diagonalizer" is, if that's even what it was called. As far as the plot, I would say it is original and creative, it's more than just "Godzilla destroys Tokyo, oh no!" I do enjoy the art style of the anime, especially with the whole red dust thing, really set the mood. The AI companion felt kinda cheap at times but hey, it made the anime more fun in a way. Watch this if you enjoy shows that throw around a load of scientific words that probably don't make any sense put together but are believable enough to make the untrained viewer think it makes sense.

Right of the bat, the animation was awesome. There was heavy use of CGI on the kaiju. Even though I don’t like CGI animation, it was pretty well done here. Godzilla looked mighty and more like a lizard than in the live-action movies. When Godzilla used atomic breath, there’s an add-on animation with multiple circles that looked very cool. The tricky part was the story. Even though I got the general plot, the physics behind it was beyond my comprehension. Because the plot was confusing, it was hard to follow at times and invest in the overall story. However, the pacing was still fast and didn’t drag out. The AI spoke at the speed of light, so I had to work my eyes more to read all the subtitles. It wasn’t an issue. The characters didn’t have any backstory, which was understandable because of the urgency of the plot. I didn’t invest much in any of the characters, except Jet Jaguar, because of the complicated plot. Overall, a pretty entertaining anime despite the complicated plot. 6.5/10
