Godzilla: Singular Point Non-Spoiler Thread

Post by Pkmatrix »

Came across this tweet this morning, saying a new anime movie is upcoming titled Godzilla: Singular Point.

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1313468128379113474

Immediately, this looks more like it! When they announced the anime trilogy a few years back something like THIS is what I was picturing! Waiting for an official announcement from Toho and to hear more! ^_^

Perhaps the wrong section but hey holy shit

How reliable is the source? Certainly looks reliable but I’m not familiar with it

That art really is something, certainly looks official

I'm not familiar with the source either, but promotional artwork provided looks official to me as well. I'm eager to hear more, I'll be very disappointed if this turns out to be a hoax! :lol:

It DOES make some sense, though, if this was already in the works before the world went topsy-turvy. GvK was supposed to come out in March, remember? So perhaps according to the original schedule this was supposed to be Toho's Winter 2020/2021 Godzilla movie following up GvK but now with GvK delayed to May 2021 it's ending up coming out first. I guess we'll find out!

In another thread, I wrote:"ゴジラシンギュラポイント" returns no results at Google. It's not real.
Try any combination of the words and you still get... nothing.

If you enlarge that red drawing, the "2020 Toho" thing in the corner looks very blurred and pixelated around it. I'd assume it was choppily edited in and that this isn't exactly real.

If this is really, I how Godzilla dose more than just stand still and fire an overpowered death ray, that one shoots everything and everyone.

For reals, I think that this is probably real. Toho did say that they're planning on doing more anime films and I'm sure what Pkmatrix said about the beer bug screwing up the release dates dose make sense.

I'll like to point out that zoom in on the drawing, it gets pixelated too. So, I wouldn't use that to say it's fake.

After looking at the source, it's a side account of someone that covers a lot of anime news. Which might, add weight to this and they're saying that an official announcement is coming tomorrow. So, I guess we'll just have to play the waiting game.

Source?

The title in the artwork is "ゴジラS.P", with furigana telling us S.P should be read "シンギュラポイント". Feel free to search all of those words together:
  • "ゴジラS.P"
  • "ゴジラシンギュラポイント"
  • "ゴジラ" "シンギュラポイント"
  • "ゴジラ" "S.P" "シンギュラポイント"
Curious that there is exactly zero results for any of these terms on the web.

Oh wait. That's because this whole thing is an obvious farce.

Some people will believe literally anything.

It was ages ago in one of the threads about the polygon trilogy.

It's 2am in Japan and these images are supposedly leaked. Anything is possible, I'm not ready to discount it yet. There's way too much effort into these images to dismiss them.

The tweet went out at 10:16 PM Tokyo time.

The account that tweeted them is only a few days old and has four total tweets. It's unverified.

I've already mentioned that the title cannot be found online.

All I'm saying is there's absolutely no reason from any of that to jump to the conclusion that this has to be real, as more than a couple people here already have. The account says it will be "officially announced tomorrow". We'll see. But I wouldn't get my hopes up.

My point was you didn't need to zoom in on the drawing to have that effect on the logo. It's just like that the moment you open the photo up.

I'm not saying this is absolutely without a shadow of a doubt fake. But I also don't think it's automatically real based on one source.
Wouldn't be surprised either way.

For what it's worth, image searching all three pictures doesn't bring up any results other than two Chinese sites that are also discussing them, though Google Translate is only giving me a very barebones idea what they're talking about. If they were stolen fanart, I'd think I'd find at least one result somewhere else. And this is a personal note, but that Godzilla design doesn't look like something a singular fan would come up with, at least in my experience viewing redesigns. But we'll just have to wait and see.

It's an off-shoot/alternate account of an older account with 10k followers. It also posted something related to the new Doraemon movie as well. I'm not saying this confirms it's authenticity but it at least shows that the account wasn't just made for fooling people with this one report.
Terasawa wrote: I've already mentioned that the title cannot be found online.
The tweet has only been up for a few hours now. I only heard about it around noon. It's very likely it just hasn't spread to any major news outlets. It not being online isn't an indication of its nonexistence, especially if it's a project that was never announced.

No, I agree. I just personally think this isn't a situation where someone threw something together to fool everyone. It's got way too much effort put into it for me to believe it. But yeah, we'll see. Hopefully it's real.

Twitter compression is abhorrent, I wouldn't really use that as a mark against it.

Eh, I don't know. It's entirely possible someone produced them specifically for the sake of the hoax.

The design looks "legit" enough but the pose really strikes me as being strikingly similar to the original poster for Shin Godzilla, and I've seen a couple similar-ish fan designs before

I wasn't dismissing that possibility, just testing the preexisting fanart angle.

I mean, Shin made bank and is kind of the current default look for Godzilla in Japan atm, so I wouldn't be surprised if they took cues from Shin's style to pitch/present a new venture, but I won't deny it's a little suspect.

Hmm, the wording at the end is curious, doesn't really sway me either way just yet.

That was posted several hours after the @SugoiLITE tweet. It's (rapid-response) fan art.

Welp, that was wuick. Oh well, i'm certain a real new anime movie will come one day.

Wait, didn't the report say this was a Toho film? Why didn't this thread go in the Reiwa section?
