Exactly what the series is I'm still not quite sure of but it sounds interesting.

Oh cool, monsters by Shinji Nishikawa and Hideo Okamoto! Would've been interested with the premise alone, but knowing it has some veterans on the team seals the deal.

"Short television anime"

Gonna pump the brakes on any excitement here. This quite possibly means that this is gonna be one of those "5 minute runtime" anime.

I'm a fan of the art direction so far. That buffalo kaiju could fit quite easily in a Showa Ultraman series and I love it.

Where are you finding the kaiju designs? Not good at reading Japanese as far as the tabs go.

Sounds like it could be interesting.

A PV was released a couple days ago. It's only 15 seconds long but it devotes most of that time to showing off the kaiju, including some we didn't see in the initial reveal.

Those kaiju look like they could be at home in Ultraman.
