Gamera -Rebirth-

I'm have been a Gamera fan since I was a kid in 70s. I watched it with my son who is a huge Gamera and Godzilla fan. The story is almost astonishing where it goes and yes the animation isn top tier but when the battles with the legendary opponents it's epic. Imagine if this was live action with that script lol. Yes the adults are basically clueless and dumb and the kids save the day but this has been Gameras MO for decades. The Kaiju designs are a little risky but I appreciate there take on those legendary characters in the Gamera universe hell I have bought several of them for my collection.. recommend Stay with it the last episodes are worth it.

If you're a kaiju enthusiast, the Gamera series on Netflix is a treat you shouldn't miss. Each episode brings a new kaiju to the forefront, delivering a fresh and exciting experience with every installment.

For fans who've been craving more kaiju action since Godzilla, the Gamera series fills that void admirably. The constant introduction of new kaiju keeps the series dynamic and engaging, providing viewers with an ever-expanding roster of monstrous adversaries.

However, while the Gamera series excels in many aspects, it's not without its drawbacks. One noticeable downside is the animation style. Some viewers might find it a bit lacking in quality, which can be distracting at times. The less polished animation can take away from the immersive experience that kaiju fans often seek.

Comparing it to the Godzilla animation, it's evident that there's room for improvement in terms of animation quality. Godzilla's animation set a high standard, and Gamera could benefit from a similar level of visual finesse.

In conclusion, the Gamera series on Netflix is a must-watch for kaiju enthusiasts, offering a continuous stream of epic monster battles. However, the animation style might leave some fans wishing for a more polished look. Despite this minor setback, the series is a thrilling addition to the world of kaiju entertainment.

While an epic and amazing piece of media. The animation does leave a lot to be desired. The characters are classic while avoiding the Kenny trope that predominants much of classic Gamera. The Guardian of the Universe is back abd he is still Friend to the Children. The fights have the weight that you'd expect and Gamera is the bruiser that'd you expect him to be. The classic monster gore is back and Gamera even has motal kombat style fatalities. His classic villains from the Showa era are back and actually threatening as opposed to comical. Gamera's orgins along with his villains orgins are more Heisei.

With a straight forward, valanced plot overflown with jaw-dropping monster fights and a sympathetic cast of characters, Gamera: Rebirth is probably Netflix's best take on Kaiju Eiga to date, and a more than worthy return for the Guardian of the Universe himself.

While the human animation might look pretty awful at times, it doesn't take long to get used to it. The stars of the show --Gamera, Gyaos, Jiger, Zigra, and Viras-- on the other hand, look absolutely gorgeous, shining their brightest during the fights.

Scale is managed perfectly, making every step, punch, and bite feel as massive as they can. The human aspect, on its part, is pretty decent. The cast isn't exactly the best or the most outstanding for kaiju films, but the characters are easy to like and care for.

The only drawbacks I would take into consideration would be the animation and the feeling that Gamera's relationship with the main cast could have been done better.

The series will focus on Gamera facing off against five different Kaiju.

I know the plots and other elements aren't deep compared to other genre.

Whatever they plotte was just great. We have three childhood friends who want to make sure that no matter how far apart they are , they're always gonna be together. The bond between Joe and Boko was the most intriguing one. We are told how Joe's little brother and mom died while he was in grade school and how his dad spiraled into depression forcing Joe to work as a paper boy to pay off their debts. Character development was also unique in the case of sea weed hair from Eustace.

Plus there is also for adults, especially to those who believe in conspiracy. Such as the Foundation organisation and how they could seen as modern day 1%. Who controls a lot of things like WEF. Wants to wipe humanity out of this planet and have a great RESTART. While they are completely in charge.
