The folks at Netflix definitely know that Godzilla drives viewership and membership and that has them now pulling the curtain back on the 2021 series Godzilla Singular Point. The new project comes from director Atsushi Takahashi with scripts by Toh Enjoe, a SF novelist. Kazue Kato is on board with the character designs while Eiji Yamamori is working on the kaiju as studios BONES and Orange are working on the animation – which is being done as both traditional and CG animation.
You can see Kato’s design work below for the cast while Yamamori’s take on Godzilla is to the right.
