As a character designer on the show, let me thank you for watching our efforts! 😊👍
Wow that is so cool. It must have been much fun designing stuff for this show.
@@NetWebUser I loved working on that show! It was a blast!
@@tnperkins4artCan't wait to watch new episodes on weekend when I was child!
Are you doing more Godzilla movies cause the series was great
@@kutiepye913 I wish I was, as I am a huge Godzilla fan, but alas I this was my only Godzilla related gig thus far. Who knows what the future holds, I shall ever think good thoughts.
The animated series made playing with the 98 movie figures fun AF as a kid 😂
JaxBlade did u got zilla
big fan
I still do it
Lol
I see you in every video I watch
I loved that one episode where Zilla fought the first Zilla from the movie, which was like their own version of Mechagodzilla... Mechazilla vs Zilla was my favorite fight lol
Hamtaro it's cyber zilla
@@Anonymous-if5ic apparently people dont know the difference between a cyborg and a full mecha these days..
Fokz6stars6 Blame Darling in the Franx and Evangelion
Actully it is Cybergodzilla vs Godzilla
@@Fokz6stars6 a cyborg is half flesh and half robot right, and a mecha is just a literall robot
Unexpectedly, this video was correct! Godzilla the animated series is actually even watchable today without cringing too much. It's actually overall pretty good! Color me surprised! Most 90's era cartoons haven't aged as well.
Street Sharks is still fun too.
most haven't aged well? are you fucking crazy?
I don't know what drugs you are on but all the nineties cartoons have aged beyond well they actually are better than the current cartoon so whatever drugs you're on you might want to lay off it my guy just some friendly advice
@@187mrsmith yeah seriously that dudes a goof
Gregory Manning where can i watch it
Zilla Jr was smart, strong, had an atomic breath, fast healing, fought monsters and aliens, he even killed Zilla from the 98 movie who was revived as a cyborg.
What in the f**k zilla jr killed zilla?
@@datcap6289 evil cyborg zilla
Destroyahweapon he killed his dad
that's awesome for ya
@@dragmaplays-new9811 let's just call it what it is: Mechagodzilla
You know I wonder why no ones ever bothered making a Jurassic Park animated series. It seemed like the 90's thing to do. I'd think there's potential behind it.
Pelcogo There were plans to make one shortly after the movie but it was never aired
It would have been so cool.
There's actually 2 failed animated series. One that was pitched after the first movie, and the Chaos Effect series which the toys were made for.
Copyright issues, of course, play a factor into it but I’d imagine there’s also the problem of giving kids what they got in the movie: a vision that went above and beyond the life it’s given.
Kids who watched Jurassic Park would come back to the TV show growing up and look down on it if it couldn’t hold up with the splendor the movie STILL HAS! Anyone crazy enough to make an animated, KID-FRIENDLY show about JURASSIC PARK would be constantly overshadowed by the movie and all of the fans’ love for said movie.
It’d be like Superboy if he were raised by Supey in Young Justice: Connor would constantly be compared to one of his fathers (He’s the hate-child of Lex and Clark, for anyone who somehow doesn’t already know. Makes conservatives cringe hard) and he’d have to fight tooth and nail against that everyday. Connor would develop a complex and wouldn’t be able to make it without some SERIOUS FUCKING HELP.
My explanation’s kinda derailed, but here’s the summary of it: even kids would be looking at the show as if it were a copy of the movie and or they’d be scrutinizing it for anything that made it less than equal to the movie in greatness.
There were plans and even story-boards for one. It was gonna deal with different stories interconnected by the island. It was supposed to be really smartly plotted.
This series deserves a GOOD revival. I also find Zilla Jr. is a big cutie
I agree with you and yes zilla jr is a cutie
GODzilla Junior, this creature has earned the name King Of The Monsters
Godzilla he earned the name damnit.
LoneStarWolf Entertainment i think he deserves the name of "The King Of The Mutants"
@@lonestarwolfentertainment7184 Kingzilla
So much irony that Zilla jr animated series was loved by all Zilla haters..
@Rob T but he isnt wrong, ive seen people trashing on the movie but liking this cartoon
@Rob T cry me a river and get out
@@rekius328 I am pretty sure that I gave the movie a pass just because of this show
@Rob T sure,one of them will be yours,would love to see you in pain
@Rob T please, get out. You're acting like a kid who tries to bully people by saying shit and imagines himself as some destroyer or shit.
Godzilla animated, Extreme Ghostbusters, & MIB animated are my afternoon fun childhood memories.
Did you ever catch that King Kong show where they could fuse minds with the giant creatures as well?
extreme ghostbusters was good
"Big Guy and Rusty" too !
All three by the same producer.
Biker Mice From Mars =)
I like the animated series a lot more than the movie
Toku Nation Fair enough. 😊
Everyone does, the cartoon was more true to the character than movie ever could be.
gspida25 I am aware of that. But I personally don't hate the film that this show was based on. And *no* I am seriously *not* a "tard" or a "troll," OK? I have true, honest, legitimate, genuine reasons why I love the film.
velociraptor4you that’s understandable I see where your coming from, everyone has there own personal taste when comes to the character. Me I loved the 2014 monsterverse Godzilla he is one of my favorite versions of him along side Godzilla 2000
gspida25 I am truly glad to hear that from you. 😊 And I love the original Godzilla as well. So far, his original 1954 incarnation, his 2014 incarnation, and his portrayal from "Mothra vs Godzilla" are my personal favorites.
This took me back.
it took most of us back
Same
wwwwwww
This was actually my intro to the Godzilla universe.
For me it was the first movie, when it was on a channel that was showing old movie
same then i discovered the og godzilla
For me it was Godzilla vs Desatroyah
same!
Hanna Barbera for me.
If i remember before the series was cancelled they actually did had plans to bring in classic Godzilla kaijus and show how he was still growing stronger. Sadly we might never see that happen
Fatone1927 just imagine Zilla jr fighting or teaming up the classic Godzilla
sadly in the old days it was all about toy sales.
Blake lastname that was Zilla Sr wasn’t it? Plus it wasn’t a fight, it was a slaughter of Zilla Sr
They were never going to pull in original toho kaiju unfortunately they had to make their own monsters. It still worked none the less and monster war was a excellent finale.
This show make me want to have a Monarch tv show
Redem10 really cool idea. Like agents of shield but monsters. Badass
I'd like to see Godzilla and Kong Beat the shit outta other monsters, anybody agree?!
+Kareem SC "Agents Of Monarch"
“Agents of G-Force”
Cartoon Network or Disney?
Give Zilla Jr. a revamped origin and put him in the Monsterverse!!
Possibly in a MonsterVerse animated series, in a faux crossover episode (as in H.E.A.T. in name only, as a branch of Monarch but still faithful to the original series).
I've said it should be a subspecies of godzilla. Smaller but fast and agile, with its green atomic breath.
@@strenuousspider9525 Ik this isn’t really subspecies since allosaurus isn’t related to the tyrannosaurid family. But what about about having zilla be the allosaurus to Titanus Godzilla’s trex. Like you said the allosaurus was smaller but faster and agile compared to the Trex. That may not be factual but you get what I’m trying to say.
It’d be neat to see them play Zilla against Goji
Especially if they give him the Green Breath or a variant
I don't get why people hate the iguana look. I was a kid when the movie came out, I thought it was so cool. He looked like he wasn't one to be trifled with. Unlike the Charmander looking one
That's the reason. The 1998 design was such a radical change from the design of Godzilla, and along with the fact that the 1998n one doesn't have the classic Atomic Breath or the fact that the military actually killed it, all of that is seen as an insult to the "true" Godzilla.
Me personally, I like the 1998 movie because it was my gateway to the Japanese Godzilla, so I have that film to thank for. I too like the iguana design, but I think it would have been received better had it not been an adaptation of Godzilla. Still, the cartoon kicked major ass, and the Godzilla from that show definitely stands alongside the true Godzilla as some of the most badass giants to have ever roamed the Earth.
abridgedfan100 I honestly haven't seen it since like early 2000s. I went from (my opinion) badass, bulky Godzilla to a Charmander. But yeah, change that isn't gradual isn't so well received. Especially by fans. But yeah, I didn't remember him not having his badass hyper beam until I saw this video.
moonsmonsters I for one, watching the 98 Godzilla, never thought he looked like a Iguana. I thought he was some super mutant T-Rex.
Now I've seen the seamlessly mutant Indominus Rex from Jurassic World, I don't know where I'm going.
Biologically this Godzilla is the most probable
moonsmonsters because it just wasn’t what Godzilla was if they had just changed the title to something else no one would care
My childhood cartoon, ah i remember watching this as a kid not just godzilla but men in black the series as well
MIB was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I am 23 and I loved the 98 Godzilla movie. When I got it on tape, I would watch it all the time. I saw this series when I was younger, a few episodes and I loved it.
It was only in 08-09 when I stumbled upon it again on CZcams and on demand had it.
I like the show, I will agree it has its problems, but whatever.
Zilla is one of my favorite kaiju and I love its design along with its abilities.
The show really helped made Zilla his own character. Just wish we saw more of it.
Godzilla the series was in that odd space in the late 90's I remember seeing it as a kid and I thought it was good. Tho it was part of that men in black the cartoon series and the Extreme Ghostbusters universe which was very awesome and a bit confusing at the same time. Cause there were references to both shows in this series. I was hoping for a massive crossover where the men in black teamed up with Heat and the Ghostbusters to defeat a giant threat. But that never happened.
True
I'm 16 and I remember seeing the episode with the bird. I loved that series!
Sønic Zoom same, im same age and for some reason i remember this series.
Ye
Sønic Zoom same here
i watched it at the age of 7 like 20 times the whole series it was sooooo gooood almost same age xD
Reminds me of rodan
We need a new Godzilla animated series set in the monsterverse. That follows Godzilla and a team of monarch scientist similar to the tone and setting like the Zilla 98 cartoon. But I would hire the animated team behind the last air bender and legend of korra and get the writers of gravity falls or spectacular Spider-Man to handle the stories.
While that would be nice, I'd prefer it not have to do with the Monsterverse Godzilla. Something unrelated. Plus, we kind of are getting this with the Planet of the Monsters trilogy. They trademarked an entire domain for Godzilla anime, so they could start making an anime series instead of a movie trilogy somewhere down the line!
Galaxeus monster planet is its own thing made for traditional toho Godzilla, it’s time America started producing their own again and WB is no stranger to adapting animated shows from their move library. Take 90’sbatman, beetlejuice, and the mask. With monsterverse Godzilla it will be easy to set up a animated spin do to the world already being established and what not. Or another independent Godzilla anime made from another team in Japan could be doable...but the first monster planet didn’t do very well in japan and I don’t think the sequels will do much better other than ruin the anticipation for G2 for the Japanese audience. But over here in America we will eat it up regardless. Godzilla has a greater chance of succeeding here in the states right than in japan. Shin was a big hit over there but monster planet bombed.
GOOD IDEA
gspida25 if its in the monster verse it would probably have to be very non canon since we still have movies coming out and such.
Dope it can fit, birth of kong comic is part of the timeline, and a lot could happen between the events of ghidorah’s discovery in 2016 to 2019.
This show had absolutely no right to be as good as it was... but it was, and I'm thankful for it!
So, Zilla Jr. is basically Godzilla with Mothra's personality. I mean, on a basic level, there's probably more nuance I'd need to look into more.
Basically gen z blended hannah barberra Godzilla series and the 98 zilla movie and with a bit of Saturday morning magic it came out pretty good
Is it just me or does anyone else want to see more komodithrax?
i absolutely still love this cartoon
@Chatterbox
Who doesn't, because despite what this series is a follow up to, it's aged really well...
That Godzilla from the animated series is so lithe and graceful that he'd put any ballerina to shame!
Size any ballerina up to Godzilla's size, and I doubt they'd be able to climb a skyscraper without accidentally toppling the whole thing! xD
SinerAthin As a child, Godzilla inspired me to become a giant lizard 😂
Don't bring any kind of realism talk when speaking about Godzilla. It's Physically impossible for something that large to live outside the ocean. Sure original Godzilla is more plausible then 98' one but if you break rules, might as well go all the way. After all Rodan and Mothra shouldn't be able fly with wings this small so there is also that. But Godzilla climbing that building sure looked cool so...
Gorkdork r/wooosh
Gorkdork King Kong climbing building not able break anything while climbing building
@@Mithguar But it's a nuclear powered being... the creature doesn't have the same genetic makeup as us and therefore isn't submitted to the same rules. I mean... it's got a fucking atomic breath for gods sake.
A thousand times better than the anime films
Thanks for the comment, I always considered myself as a pure Godzilla fan and always treasured this series, it's nice to see some people here still remember it. Kinda sad how it's being forgotten. May it rest as one the greatest monster shows in my heart.
I remember this cartoon from the 90s, along with Men in Black and The Extreme Ghostbusters.
I love this cartoon, tell me what you think!? -Jacob
I watch this on amazon firestick
Llits awesome as fuck to me
One of my favorites too!
I used to watch it with one of my uncles because we were both Godzilla fans.
I love this cartoon and I own the DVD set it’s so much better than the movie
DangerVille i was about 12 when i watch this on Netflix it was great.
I discovered this series on Netflix while in High School. I was so happy to have found it. I fell in love with Zilla instantly. Especially because of its more athletic design and ability to tunnel.
i still remember it. it was just 5 days ago that i re watched the whole series. i rewatched it bcz of the nostalgia and memories of this amazing series in my childhood
Anyone else like the show's take on Destroy All Monsters more than the original movie?
It was pretty awesome.
It was great watching all those monsters destroy cities around the world while the army “tries” to stop them.
This cartoon should have gotten a reboot
raynaldo arlen k.eman not a reboot. It’s a stand alone series. I can’t wait for it to come on Netflix.
More of a remastered version
The 98 film was my introduction to the Godzilla character, and it holds a special place in my list of favorites, so when I found out about this series a few years back, you can imagine my excitement, of having discovered that one of my favorite childhood movies actually had a continuing story. I currently own the complete series on dvd, and have watched and rewatched it many times.
Id love to see Zilla in a future Godzilla game.
I think he did appear in one
@@digstrememcdingus1463 he did it was called Godzilla final wars.
@@chekkat8956 that’s a movie, not a game
@@digstrememcdingus1463 Zilla was planed back in unleashed but the creator didnt want get hate so they removed him
I think this design is better than any other Godzilla design
It is one of my favorites. Along with 2000 and 2014. Not that the others are bad (heck I was raised on the older versions).
Dude I forgot that I used to love this showThank you so much for reminding me
If only the movie had bits of this show's concept. It would've been so much better.
Godzilla The Series Rules!
"When I learned there was a Godzilla cartoon coming out, I was like F*** yes!!" lol that made me fall out of my chair
The animated was amazing
This series is definitely better than the Hanna Barbera Godzilla (no offense)
And God'Zoooookie da daa da do daa da... God'Zilllllaaaaaaahhhh!
I remember how much I loved to watch Godzilla in my childhood. Zilla was awesome. I always excitedto see for his greenish looking atomic breathe
firing at monsters and aliens.
w ait
older animated series i haven't seen before??
*puts on pirate hat*
Seagull Godzilla zero hour sucked with godzookie this series is better
YAR HAR FIDDLE DEE DEE
Because This Godzilla Has Everything The Japanese Godzilla Has: Atomic Breath, Iconic Roar, Fighting Other Monsters And Destroying them Like The Japanese Godzilla , And Finally He Survives Stupid Fucking Missles
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA GODZILLLLAAAA!!!! hahah
SuperKingGodzillaGaming Well, I agree with 80% with what you said at the end, but Zilla Jr/Better Zilla didn't seem to like missiles and actually looked like he was in pain from them.
The all caps is unessecary
@@dominicmayfield6748 only at the beginning of the series in pt1 while he was still young. Once hes matured as the series progresses he tanks a lot of shit even a volcanic eruption.
This show was my all time favorite as a kid and I remember waking up and just watching it while I eat my breakfast. Ah the good 'ol times!
I loooooooooooved that show. Sometimes I still randomly think of it. The wave of nostalgia that hit me with the intro was huge.
The real question is... WHY DID NETFLIX TAKE OUT THIS AWESOME SERIES?!?!?!?
Ikr I remember watching this when I was little on netflix and now I'm 16 and I wanna watch it again so I guess I have to buy the dvd off amazon
@@rainraptor6501 same, also love your name
@@rainraptor6501 just look up Godzilla the animated series on CZcams you should find a playlist with almost all the episodes in it
Favorite monster of the series: Flying ice-breathing manta ray
Swordslinger No robozilla
Unlike the movie, this animated series was REALLY GOOD
Every time Nigel got destroyed, I just yelled "Nigeeeeeeeel!"
Aw, heck ya! There's my childhood coming back.
Recently a friend bought me the entire series on DVD, so we're gonna put a weekend aside to binge it. This show was so good.
My childhood. Zilla Jr. is my favorite incarnation of Godzilla. He also kicked his cybernetic father's ass! You know, the version that people hated.
I agree! I grew up with this show when I was a kid, and even though I'm an adult, I still have affection and appreciation for it as an animation buff.
BTW, I'm not a hardcore Godzilla fanboy (but I truly DO love the OG Godzilla). It's for that reason why I legitimately like the 1998 film and Zilla. And this show helped strengthen my love for both more.
velociraptor4you Same here. I sometimes find myself liking "Zilla" more than Godzilla at times.
Galaxeus I can understand that. But do you like the original Godzilla as well?
velociraptor4you I do!
Mister Symbiote 😊
i see you in every video related to godzilla...
btw im a Godzilla,Zilla and Jurassic Park fan...
Thank you for making this video. Feels good to know people like this show and this version of Godzilla ✌🏼
LOVED The 1998 film when I was a kid, but sadly I never knew there was an animated series based off this film (and its never produced sequal), so this is a great time to catch up on this rare gem of a cartoon!
Zilla was an abomination but Zilla jr is the one we know and love. Truly, jr deserves the title of " Godzilla. " Loved this show as a kid, it was part of my childhood nostalgia. 👍👍
Nu 13 Indeed, Zilla Jr is worthy of being its own Kaiju.
I count this canon to Final Wars
@@FrozenVibraniumProductions I count this non-canon to Final Wars, its not canon to it at all. why do you want zilla jr to die? lmao
i discovered this cartoon and watched every episode i could, fucking amazing show
Skrit I did the exact same a few years back
I liked the show myself; I enjoyed it for its unique interpretation of Zilla especially cause like you said, his speed overall was improved immensely and if you think about it, Godzilla himself isn’t very fast. I basically think of Godzilla as a tank, slow af but able to take anything that comes his way, but Zilla is your rogue, able to move fast as hell but somewhat fragile. The show really made him unique while also making him worthy of being called “Godzilla” for being strong in a different way than the original
That 1998 series was my first Godzilla media I ever saw.#gmanlove
Great video, this was one of my favorite animated cartoons of the 90s. Hope Netflix brings the series back one day.
Brownstone2004 It killed me when they took it off
Brownstone2004 The Netflix have Godzilla the Animated series or buy The Complete Godzilla The Animated series!
It's mad cheap on Amazon.

the "fire breath" in the movie was just some cars exploding and being propelled by his roar. didnt come from his mouth at all
Apparently they did add Fire Breath to his repertoire, but yeah. I always saw the cars exploding and thought that was a weak ass excuse for "fire breath". More like flammable halitosis.
go look again the fire originates In the mouth.not from cars exploding from a roar!I had to prove another fella wrong on this matter and Google called it the atomic breath
Actually, no it just looks like that at first, but he used it twice.
Thought the same, and yes it is correct. Late comment, but here's from IMDB: "The trademark breath weapon was considered early in the production process, but was ultimately replaced by what the filmmakers called "power breath" in the script-an intensely powerful blast of pressurized air that sometimes ignites inflammable elements (such as fuel) to devastating effect."
This was always my understanding of the films, it wasn't until much later that I came across people that thought (rightly or otherwise) that this was an actual 'fire breath' attack. The clip used in this video is most certainly just cars exploding.
never even heard of the series, but damn, that's a good design for him.
It’s a good tv show
@@brodycarraway572 do you know where to watch it now?
@@Bruh1 Here on CZcams you search ''Godzilla the series'' ;)
for me this was accel Godzilla because among all version, this one was moving fast yet clever when it comes in monster battle
I feel Zilla doesn't much attention anymore. I want to see zilla in pacific rim to the very list.
Or the Monsterverse.
Bushzilla fishMLG what about 2014 and Netflix original anime? I think those were better.
Bushzilla fishMLG he gets tons of attention from the world
okay just to be frank even zilla is better than to be in that Trainwreck
Nostalgia hit hard. I used to love this series.
Aren't these the same people who made M.I.B. And Jackie Chan adventures?
All of those series were good and hilarious.
Edit: Also, I think you missed the fact that the Godzilla in the animated series is actually Godzilla Jr. And not the same Godzilla from the movie. It's stated early on in the series and even confirmed at the end of the movie that one egg survived. You even show a clip from a late episode where aliens revive the original Godzilla from the movie and they fight 2:40.
Nice video brother. Thoroughly enjoyed the content. I was young when the movie came out, saw it in theatre's. Just didn't click, especially since I had been renting Godzilla movies from Blockbuster throughout my childhood lol. I enjoyed the animated series storytelling & premise. I recall one episode in specific where their was another reptilian monster who was protecting her egg from yet another monster... Obviously Godzilla's not havin that & steps in to help protect his distant cousins offspring ☺. Yeah, that episode stands out to me personally. Again, nice vid and glad you brought up the topic. 😎✌
I agree this show is awesome I remember seeing this on CZcams and Netflix back then
I’ve always enjoyed watching Godzilla the series as a kid and I happen to be a fan of Pokemon and Digimon as well.
The dad didn't deserve the title Godzilla and but the son did
Man, I remember this show. I was only 6-7 years old when it aired, but I watched every episode I could, usually with my older brother right next to me, as he was the one who got me hooked on Godzilla. Good times.
I remember watching this every weekend, so sad that it was so short lived. Where can I get to see this again?
There are a few episodes on CZcams, most of the earlier ones at least.

Damn that is cheap... Christmas gift to myself haha -Jacob
GOJIRA97 nice thanks www.walmart.com/ip/Godzilla-The-Complete-Animated-Series/38435481
DangerVille hey you guys remember this one (this shows my oldness lol) www.walmart.com/ip/Godzilla-The-Original-Animated-Series-Vol-2/5001005
You know, I haven't seen any of this show. Just some clips recently... Is it worth getting into brother? -Jacob
Nostalgia trip thanks man.
I thought I was the only one who remembered/enjoyed this series. Thanks for proving me wrong.
I remember getting a DVD of this from the library with the Monster Wars arc. I thought it was just a movie split into 3 parts(apparently I didn't read "the series" on the cover) and dear lord, I watched the hell out of it. Sometimes I'd just put it on repeat for hours on end. MAN I loved those three episodes.
Reminder: this zilla survived an encounter with the infamous destroyah, you know, the same kaiju responsible for giving both Godzilla and and jnr a hard time
Richard Walker when?
Sean Dewar in the IDW comics which I highly recommend
LoneStarWolf Entertainment Ah ok
Keep in mind that Kaiju in like Godzilla and Destoroyah and even SpaceGodzilla get a bit nerfed in those comics.
maximaldinotrap but the Godzilla can take over hell or defeat the Greek pantheon.
Oh, I was totally into this cartoon. Loved it more than the movie.
This and "Big Guy and Rusty" were my favorites back in the day.
FrankLightheart Geez, you're the first person i see who remember Big Guy and Rusty
+Lust Brofist!
Jeff Kline
I love this show, it was the highlight of my childhood and many Saturdays until it was canned. I wasn't big on kaiju films, until this show. So this definitely has a special place in my heart.
Finally some respect for my first true introduction to Godzilla
Much appreciated
I remember learning about the show from one of my classmates and freaking out. My first episode was D.O.A. with El Gusano Gigante. I miss the first few minutes and was lost as heck as to who was who but I loved it! I taped every episode and later bought the dvd.
I love the animated series and even now in 2019 I am still watching it and still love the series and Zilla Jr. I just love Zilla Jr.
I few months ago I remembered this cartoon and how much I loved it as a child and decided to go and watch it again. It was fun, still a very enternaining show but boy, do they live in the most convenient timeline ever. Everything just comes perfectly in place just at the right moment or everyone is safe because of X or Y reason.
I rewatched it about a year ago ... still holds up to me
I thought that the thumbnail was Godzilla holding a sword
They need to bring it back cause it's the 20th anniversary
Still one of my favorite shows to this day
I literally just bought the box set on DVD. This was easily one of my favorite shows as a kid, and still is.
It’s a great series! You can buy a disc set with all 38 episodes including 2 unaired episodes. Definitely a great show.
I think Zilla's appearance is really well done honestly. I just wish he wasn't called Godzilla and was his own Kaiju.
He earned the name and it will stick FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved the series so much every episode was something new and exciting and I couldn't wait for the next episode.
I watched it when I was younger it’s still my favorite animated show
My favorite thing was the smartass robot. “Can you say neighborhood? I knew you could.”
🤣
Who is basicaly Kenny from SouthPark!
LOL! I forgot about that, he died almost every episode.
I think the better question is why did it stop?
Because of Pokemon and Digimon.
@@DIO-pi6vd I HATE THOSE JERKS🤬
@@DIO-pi6vd How can stupied pokemon be better then this?
@@deleteduser1877 IDK it isn't possible that's why I hate Pokemon.
I LOVE this series. It really did what 98 Godzilla didn't.
But it did what they would have done in the sequels.
@@SithEmperorDarthSyniclus
Honestly, I'm not sure if the movies would have worked. I'm glad they changed it for a TV series, which ended up being a greater homage to the OG Gojira than whatever the 1998 movie was
Still today, it is a good series to wacth! I´m definitely showing this to my future kids, not just for them, but as another excuse to watch it again and again XD
Godzilla the animated series is favorites series all time
It's good because it's the only good series that has to be made canon
This was one of my favorite shows as a kid, and honestly, I think I have more appreciation for it as an adult. I had Monster Wars on VHS as a kid and watched it so many times the tape wore out. I didn't see the 1998 movie until I was a teenager, so little me thought the 1998 movie toys were toys from this cartoon, and I was obsessed with them. I never saw any of the original Godzilla movies as a kid, either. So this cartoon version, and the Hanna Barbera version, were my only exposure to Godzilla. I liked both, but this version was by far my favorite. Now that I'm older and have been exposed to most of the original Japanese Godzilla movies, I can definitely understand why the American version of the 90s wasn't well loved, but I still appreciate this version as its own monster that was such a big part of my childhood. I'm SO glad the entire series was finally released on DVD years back so that I could return to something that meant so much to me as a kid.
My biggest gripe is that Monster Wars happens basically in the middle of the first season. It feels like a three part season finale, not a middle chunk. Comparative to the other episodes, Monster Wars had a pretty intense conflict and story with several monsters -- some of which that hadn't even been introduced yet, and upon seeing them in later episodes, HEAT acts like they've never seen them before -- and the return to the basic formula for the rest of the episodes falls a little flat. Monster Wars was too tough an act to follow imo and really should have been the finale. Especially since Monster Wars sets up a "Monster Island" type deal, and I believe in the very next episode, the characters talk about the concept as a hypothetical and scoff at it as impractical. Definitely feels like they're out of order in that sense. But if the scheduling and management was struggling, I guess it makes sense that they would crank the episodes out in the order of completion rather than the order they were probably intended to be in. Other than that, though, I absolutely love this series and highly recommend it to people who haven't seen it.
The animation of this show always reminded me of the MiB animated series style. Two shows that I absolutely love from my childhood.
