A companion thread to the Kong incarnation poll.
Admittedly I had to divide this one up more by design than incarnation, otherwise there'd only be like 3 main options (Showa, Heisei, Toto), so hopefully it makes sense (I know you could probably divide the Showa designs up as well, but eh).
Check out the Wikizilla article on Gamera for more info/pics.

"Avant" is the grown Gamera that appears at the start of Gamera the Brave fighting Gyaos, "Trauma" is the nightmarish Gamera that appears in Ayana's flashbacks from Gamera 3.

Re: Favorite Gamera incarnation
Honestly, Showa will always be my favourite. Something about his old, crackly roar and the way he sways side to side.
For Emperor and Empire!

G3 and 2015. Especially 2015, shame it never got more than a short film.
I unapologetically, wholeheartedly, and without a doubt hate Godzilla vs Kong.

Re: Favorite Gamera incarnation
Decided to pick both 1996 and 2015. Both of them are tied for my favorite Gamera design yet, and they're what comes to mind first when i think "Gamera".
A guy who randomly stumbled upon this place one day, invested much too much time into it, and now appears to be stuck here for all eternity..and strangely enough, i do not regret it!

Re: Favorite Gamera incarnation
I voted for Showa, G2, G3 and Toto.
I like G1, it's such a great naturalistic update to the original, but considering it owes so much to the classic look, I decided to be kind and throw a vote Showa's way, I think he deserves it.
Trauma, Avant and 2015 are gnarly and cool and all, but considering you don't see much of them (especially 2015, we've never seen his full look I don't think), they were easy to set aside.
I don't think there are any bad Gamera designs, he's definitely received some of the best updates a kaiju has ever had -
