The Netflix streaming service is teaming up with Toho, bones, and Orange for a Godzilla anime series called Godzilla: Singular Point, which is going to be released sometime in 2021. While we wait for a release date announcement, Netflix has shared a look at the show's version of the iconic kaiju Godzilla – and it's a design that has some fans describing Godzilla as "thicc".
This take on Godzilla was designed by Eiji Yamamori and colored by Yuji Kaneko, and you can see it below.
Singular Point is being directed by Atsushi Takahashi, and will "combine hand-drawn and CG animation styles". In addition to those named above, the creative team includes sci-fi novelist Toh Enjoe, Blue Exorcist comic creator Kazue Kato, and composer Kan Sawada. The show has the following synopsis:
When danger comes up from the depths, only young geniuses Mei, Yun, and their team can face the threat.
A teaser confirmed that Godzilla won't be the only famous kaiju featured in Singular Point. We'll also be seeing the likes of Rodan and Jet Jaguar!
Although Netflix previously released a trilogy of animated Godzilla films (Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters, Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle, and Godzilla: The Planet Eater), they have made it clear that Godzilla: Singular Point has "a new cast and an original story" that is not related to those movies.
