AdminGodzillaDec-07-2013 3:38 AMI remember this question being brought up a lot during the late 90s and early 2000s. The reason I remember at the time was that Toho felt Godzilla was too big for the small screen. They also probably did not want to compete with Ultraman which was extremely popular at the time and pretty much eclipsing Godzilla's popularity.
Then the question was asked, "Why not an anime movie?" Well at the time the Millennium series was underway, so Toho probably didn't want to spend resources on a Godzilla anime that would compete with the live action version of the character.
It didn't matter either way though since the Millennium series was mostly considered a boxoffice failure. And with Godzilla and other tokusatsu dead/dying in Japan today I doubt they'd want to try an anime now.
The fact is, at this point, Toho would rather have someone else do the work for them and make money off the character, ala, Legendary Pictures.

Then I thought of the Godzilla anime question. Anyways, the monster looked amazing and I think that a Godzilla anime could do well. Giant monster fights every episode with new and unexpected things. Maybe new creatures too. It doesn't need to be canon and it would just be great to watch.
