Heisei Gamera was called Shin Gamera in Japan. It's just not considered that because Anno and his Shin universe now.

When the first Heisei Gamera film came out one of the marketing terms called it Shin Gamera just like Toho called Leo Shin Mothra.

The names didn't stick the way the Shin characters did in Anno's films.

Are you aware what "Shin" actually means in Japanese?

EVERYTHING "new" is called "Shin" in Japanese. Even Mecha-King Ghidorah was called "Shin (new) King Ghidorah" in some of the trailers.

Yes I am, New True or God. Which is why I said when they called the Heisei Gamera Shin Gamera it was for marketing, it wasn't in the way that Anno's series is being done.

I thought we would have a design by now. I don't recall why I thought that. In hindsight it seems farfetched.

Im sure we will hear something soon. Hey, maybe they were waiting until they made a bandai figure too so they can reveal it all at the same time. Thats one way to hype people into buying your figures.

Chef’s kiss for the most part.

It looks very detailed, which I love, but not sure if that movement animation will translate well. I’ll reserve judgment til I see more. Promising teaser.

So, only six episodes (less it does good enough and we get Season 2) and Gamera faces off a different kaiju in all but one of them. Gyaos seems to be one of them, you can see one flying around in the background of a shot.

Looks cool!

I love the idea of it being a classic monster-of-the-week style show!

I'm excited, but I want to know a lot more.

5 kaiju across 6 episodes is a little short, especially if the episodes are only 20 minutes. Maybe we'll get lucky and the episodes will be 30-40 minutes long? Clearly they're trying to advertise this as battle/monster heavy, but I wonder if there will be any sort of overarching theme/plotline. Would be okay with either honestly. No indication of aliens yet.

Now let's play the fun speculation game:

Gyaos is confirmed as one of the five.

If I had to guess:
Barugon/Jiger/Guiron
Viras/Zigra
Legion
New Monster

I wonder if this is in a way what came of the 2015 short film.

Stoked!! Glad they're getting Gyaos out of the way early and confirming there'll be multiple monster encounters. Very curious if there'll be new additions, or if they'll all be updates of old favorites.

Not going to lie, severely underwhelmed by the reveal that its only going to be six episodes. I miss the days where most shows were 22+ episodes, everything is getting too short these days. Happy its a show, but not much of one. Maybe we can get more down the road...

You know, I don't actually mind the presence of Gyaos. He's a staple of the franchise who's been a part of every series/continuity, including pretty much every game, comic, and manga. Doesn't look like they did much to the design though, I'd love to see a new take that isn't so heavily inspired by the 1995 design which has been the basis for all designs to follow.

Want to see more classic kaiju too, nobody but Gyaos has been utilized twice onscreen. Who will be the first to break the curse of the non-Gyaos kaiju (if anyone)?

In my opinion, this is what came of the 2015.. and that 2 kaiju fron that are 2 of them.

Gyaos, new kaiju 1, new kaiju 2, Zedus, and Zigra.. If I had to guess.

Apart of me want more new kaiju then old and I really want Barugon back.

Well, we can start a gambling pool/scoresheet of what monsters will reappear, before we get more information; make a fun game of it. Everyone write down the four monsters you think will appear!

(my official guess hasn't begun)

But yeah, Zedus returning would be cool. He's only been in the Brave film and unlike Gamera monsters is very unique to his era, existing only in a continuity with no other films.

Also, this is beating a dead horse, but I won't be surprised when Gamera Rebirth MMS stuff is announced. They've been releasing all the Heisei Gamera figures recently, so that shouldn't surprise anyone.
