riggzamortis86 Jan-03-2018 5:40 AM Haha! That should be fun to watch! Crunchyroll taketh away, and youtube givith.
KingKaijuGojira Jan-03-2018 6:27 AM Well this is unexpected.
Danzilla93 Jan-03-2018 7:05 AM YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!! i ADORE Godzilla Island! I've seen it from beginning to end probably a dozen times! It is, completely unironically, one of my favorite Godzilla things ever. You totally get into it, and soon, you don't think about the toys. It sounds ridiculous, but it's totally true! Its been a difficult show for western fans to see in its entirety. I'm so glad that now people will have the opportunity to see this super fun, super weird, super wonderful little show.
The Legend of Brian Jan-03-2018 11:21 AM I bought this around a year ago, I'm really glad I did, it was such a fun series. I really hope more fans watch this because it was ridiculously fun. I'll probably rewatch it on Youtube now!
KingKaijuGojira Jan-03-2018 12:41 PM I really wish I could understand Japanese. I only know a few words besides the names of the monsters.
Danzilla93 Jan-03-2018 6:01 PM ^I'm not a Japanese speaker either, but I did a tremendous amount of research on this show 8 or so years ago to try to build up some western knowledge on this little gem of a footnote in Godzilla's history, including an in depth episode guide. I never did much with the info (some of it ended up on the super old, now long gone version of Wikizilla), but if you'd like clarification on anything as the series progresses, I'd be glad to fill anyone in on what I know about the various story arcs, characters, and evil alien plots!
The Legend of Brian Jan-03-2018 7:17 PM In all honesty, I found it way more enjoyable not knowing what was going on. Since it was made to sell toy to little children, I always found the stories simple enough to understand without knowing the language.
KingKaijuGojira Jan-19-2018 5:32 AM Does anyone know the lyrics to the Godzilla Island theme song? I think I know the Kaiju mentioned and want to see if I'm right. I think the monsters mentioned are Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, Battra, King Ghidorah, Hedorah, Ebriah, Megalon, MechaGodzilla, Moguera, Manda, Gigan, Anguirus, Gabara, Baragon? (not sure on that one) and SpaceGodzilla. Am I right?
