Hello, kaiju lovers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to our first minisode! (Well, our second, according to my intrepid producer, Jimmy From NASA<\/a>). This is the first of a series of episodes where I\u2019ll be analyzing films I was unable to cover on my previous podcast. In this one, I\u2019m discussing the divisive Godzilla Anime Trilogy. Fans either love it or hate it. Me? I like it\u2014a lot. I debunk some of the unfair criticisms of the trilogy, but the meat of my analysis is focused on how each of the four races in the trilogy\u2014the Humans, the Bilusaludo, the Exif, and the Houtua\u2014each exemplify different philosophies and how most of them take their worldviews to the extreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a lot of\nmaterial here\u2014so much that Monster Island\u2019s Board of Directors calls to say I\nviolated my contract! Listen as Jimmy acts as my agent to keep me from being\nshot into space (he deserves a bonus for practically being my agent).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the podcast episodes I mentioned in the episode. I recommend listening to them\u2014especially the Redeemed Otaku episodes\u2014if you want to hear a review of this trilogy from me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
