Godziban: Mothra vs Bagan (and others!)

[GigaBowserG]

Ok so Gigan has an older and younger sister too?

It's incredibly blursed. That makes 6 members of the Gigan Clan!

Honestly, the whole family looks nice. Now give us an MMS Bagan please Bandai.

And the Gigan Family but I feel like Bagan going to theaters is a good sign for a MMS and Bagan not just slipping back into obscurity.

Not sure how comfortable I should feel about little sis Gigan having the same... cutter... as her mom and sister. Yeah... I don't feel comfortable with that at all, the more I think about it.

I’m with you there. It’s extremely uncomfortable. I get why it’s there, but at the same time, I don’t get why it’s there.

[StardustGenius]

Oh didn't notice that there yikes

Gotta keep Gabara away somehow!

In all seriousness, I think it's unforunately placement, caused by a relative issue of shrinking Gigan's size down.

But the mom and highly sexualized big sister have it too. It is beyond obvious what the placement of that tiny saw on the female Gigans is meant to represent.

The adults also have a buzzsaw bisecting their chest. Last time I checked, women don't have a second ladypart up on their chest like that. I think it's just a design trait they had on the female adults that doesn't translate well to the younger girl. I don't think you're crazy or even wrong for thinking that, but I don't think it's intentional or anything.

I would give you the benefit of a doubt when it comes to this... But this is the series that also has:


With a rose covering only her nip.

Don't buy it. Guys behind it know exactly what they're going for.

There's also this sweet little gem:


Where the creator is virtually just saying "I don't know what YOU'RE talking about, but they're clearly not what you think you see." Where the fuck is Chris Hansen when we need him? I honestly can't see how anyone can't see this for what it is.

Some of this looks bad on paper, but if something in the book on Godziban's creations which I own, has what I recall, I'll post it here. To be clear, I am a little concerned, and some of it is cringe, but my mind isn't going to the full extent of where yours is going. Mainly, who designed the monsters and puppets.

The above twitter post is stupid, but it's worth remembering that the Godziban characters are way more human-like (with dialogue, families, and humanish scenarios), so them incporating elements of human antaomy shouldn't be surprising.

That's not the problem. I'm "okay" (do not like, but it's whatever) on the design elements of the big sister and mom. We all know what they were doing when they gave them both the coochie cutters...

It's putting that on the obviously little girl of the group. Honestly, her whole design is reading as lolicon in Gigan puppet form.

[Gigantis]

There's also this sweet little gem:

Yeaaah, I won't lie, this does look a little suspicious sounding. I think in general the designs for the Gigan family is kinda weird TBH, I'm not really too sure what the designs are supposed to be appealing to to start with.. Well, maybe parental service while the kids are more endeard to the more cutesy Godzilla puppets?

Just to be 100% clear, I agree with you.

Some people on the Japanese twitter thread are asking directly why that saw is there. Hopefully it'll be changed.

Bagan returned, but at what cost? Sorry my man...

Reject Godziban, return to Godzilla Island.

[Legion1979]

So Godziban went from creepy, weird and endearing to just creepy and weird?

[miguelnuva]

Considering what goes on in anime the Gigan design doesn't suprise me. I've seen atleast two anime recently they I stopped watching because there was either a closest pedo or an out in the open pedo as one of the main characters.

Gotta ask now, what actually is Godziban, what is it about and can anyone here recommend it? It looks very weird to me, like sth out of a strange fever-dream. Though the vinyls to the show are pretty good.

Fan-made puppet shows that has since gone on to become a legit, Toho endorsed/sponsored Youtube series of shorts...

Now with really weird kaiju girls because of course.

[Major sssspielberg!]

Ah yes, the spirit of Neo Monster Island persists.
Voyager is further validated.

Seriously tho, it's sussy but not the end of the world? It's not like there's never been weird sexualized kaiju art before, and I mean... they kinda made Serizawa a twink already...? I dunno.
