A new Godzilla: Singular Point trailer has been released, showing off Rodan, Jet Jaguar, and more of the anime's storyline. It's a great year for fans of kaiju media. In addition to the new Godzilla anime, Netflix is debuting Pacific Rim: The Black in March.
Godzilla: Singular Point is bringing the King of the Monsters back into animation. Unveiled in October 2020, the show is being developed by Studio Orange and Studio Bones. It is a CG/hand-drawn hybrid, with Blue Exorcist creator Kazue Kato handling character designs, and Studio Ghibli's Eiji Yamamori designing a new take on the iconic reptile. The show will be 13 episodes for an international release on Netflix. After the lukewarm reception of Godzilla's previous adventure into anime, anticipation is high for the new project. The first trailer teased appearances from classic Godzilla monsters, including Rodan, Jet Jaguar, and even what appears to be Gabara from Godzilla's Revenge. Little is known about why the monsters are appearing, or even Godzilla's role. Based on everything shown so far, Godzilla: Singular Point looks to deliver a notable entry in the long-running franchise.
Netflix has debuted the second trailer for Godzilla: Singular Point. Unlike the first trailer, which featured music over a montage of scenes, the new footage gives fans a better look at the story, the tone, and more. Check it out below.
Unsurprisingly, the subtitles mention calamity. One of the trailer's biggest aspects is its emphasis on Jet Jaguar. It appears the robot will be piloted. He also may be about to fight Anguirus in the footage. Interestingly, Godzilla is not seen in the trailer. The tone of the show doesn't appear to be grim, but rather a mix of serious and lighthearted storytelling.
The new trailer may begin to answer some questions, but also asks more. The Pteranodon shown emits Rodan's iconic roar. However, the first trailer shows another Pteranodon more in line with Rodan's design. That trailer also featured an army of Pteranodons flying in a city. It's possible Rodan is a species in the show, perhaps turning into his more refined form over the course of the program. Meanwhile, it is intriguing marketing isn't showing too much of Godzilla himself. An image was released last month, giving a better look at the creature. Beyond that, Godzilla's appearance and portrayal is a mystery. Fans will be ready to unravel it when Godzilla: Singular Point stomps onto Netflix this year.
