Godzilla : L'Origine de l'invasion

Fantastic and detailed series that re-contextualizes the Godzilla/kaiju mythos through modern quantum physics. Full on neediness that also shows the (new) origins giant robot Jet Jaguar. Due to the pacing and content - best enjoyed by hardcore Godzilla fans who appreciate the legend and science.

Hyper-detailed, fast paced and very nerdy. This anime is not for casual fans.

While the plot is kinda all over the place and hard to follow its still an interesting take on the Toho Character and his co stars.

This show has a lot of similarities with Shin Godzilla. Especially concerning the evolution of the kaiju.

The story is full of theoretical physics, science, mythology, metaphysics, and technical stuff that can make things difficult to understand at times. Many of the conversations between the human characters will just sound like technobabble to most.

It is also very fast paced for a series that is 13 episodes long. Some things just simply aren't explained. It certainly expects viewers to already be familiar with the Godzilla mythos, even though this is an original story, as there are many kaiju from various Toho films.

Godzilla: Singular Point is good, but it demands your full attention. It is definitely not something you can follow while on in the background if you're doing something else.

First off dont go watching it if you want to see a lot of Godzilla action. He is in it like for 1-5 min at most (yes all 13 episodes included.) in fact they could just rename the whole series to Jet Jaguar's adventures or Jet Jaguar Singular Point. Too much sciense talk, which you dont mind at first because you think you'll see some action towards the end but then after midway through the series you realize its all there is to this anime. All talk no action. I dont need some super calculater of whatever to know disaster is coming when Godzilla is plowing through the city. Even at the end you expect some epic clash between the title character and Jet Jaguar but you never get it. Characters are somewhat likable (AI was the cutest.) plot was.... waaay over my head which I stopped trying to make sense of it after a while. Every cool thing a sci fi nerd would like is in this anime: Time Travel (not like an actual time travel but sending information back in forth in time) and Kaijus what more could you want right? But it does nothing with it. Try watching your favorite godzilla movie and time travel movie at the same time you'll have much better time and it will hurt your head less. I only give it 5 because of its opening theme.

Another Spring anime just ended. A mystery surrounding the hurricane of red dust and the appearance of many kaiju that swept through the world.

Right of the bat, the animation was awesome. There was heavy use of CGI on the kaiju. Even though I don't like CGI animation, it was pretty well done here. Godzilla looked mighty and more like a lizard than in the live-action movies. When Godzilla used atomic breath, there's an add-on animation with multiple circles that looked very cool.

The tricky part was the story. Even though I got the general plot, the physics behind it was beyond my comprehension. Because the plot was confusing, it was hard to follow at times and invest in the overall story. However, the pacing was still fast and didn't drag out. The AI spoke at the speed of light, so I had to work my eyes more to read all the subtitles. It wasn't an issue.

The characters didn't have any backstory, which was understandable because of the urgency of the plot. I didn't invest much in any of the characters, except Jet Jaguar, because of the complicated plot.

Overall, a pretty entertaining anime despite the complicated plot. 6.5/10.
