An official website for Godzilla has been launched and announced that the multi-media franchise will receive an anime movie slated for 2017. Directors and scriptwriter, as well as studio, for the movie were also announced on the website.

Director: Koubun Shizuno (Detective Conan), Hiroyuki Seshita (Ajin)
Original Story Plan, Script: Gen Urobuchi (Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica)
Studio: Polygon Pictures

The movie will be based on the Godzilla franchise produced by Toho Company. The first film in the series premiered in 1954, and it has since received multiple movie adaptations, including the most recent movie, titled Shin Gojira, premiering on July 29 of this year. A Hollywood adaptation of the movie premiered in 2014, with a crossover movie currently in production and slated for a 2020 release, under the title Godzilla vs. Kong. While the animated movie will be the first anime movie in the franchise, the on-going TV anime Crayon Shin-chan has previously featured the Godzilla character. Godzilla has also received two animated series released in the west.

I'm still shocked that it took this long for Japan to make an animated Godzilla film.

Ew... more shitty Cgi....

Oh shut up. Polygon Pictures have proven themselves with Ajin and Sidonia no Kishi. Another great example is Arpeggio (PP didn't work on that one, but it's still a great CGI anime). While we're at it, let's also add Rakuen Tsuihou too.

Anyway, just because PP is gonna be working on thus one, it sounds very interesting and promising, but if Gen Urobuchi is also working on this, this could be really good too. Also, after having had watched the 2014 Godzilla movie, I'm very much interested. It has potential.

Shame it's just a movie. But regardless, that should heighten the quality too though.

Makes me think how it will be compared to past Godzilla movies and the current Shin Godzilla.

Urobutcher, huh. And the twist is, as usual, that the humans are the real monsters. I'll go on this ride.

Though, I wonder me if they the classic design of Shin Gojira keeping will, or the american one, or this time a complete new design of the beloved kaiju...

Hell yeah!! I`m hyped for this

Godzilla needs to be watched as a movie only. Trying to milk the franchise *even more* by plastering the Butcher's name on some crappy anime adaption just isn't doing it.
