I've watched it. So, they spent almost the entire first movie fighting Junior eh?
 Well, this is goddamn Urobuchi that writes the script so i fully expect a twist or surprise at the end, and Urobuchi did not disappoint. Overall, I like the movie but I'm completely understand all the criticism that people throw at Monster Planet. The movie is so exposition and technical-jargon heavy to the point where the human characters are drowned in the sea of scientific factoids uttered by everyone with speaking roles. It's really like the worse version of the first episode of Fate/Zero. No wonder people are reportedly bored to sleep during the initial hour or so. You need great and appealing characters to carry a movie when Godzilla is not around. For example, Godzilla 2014 had Brian Cranston's character (and some Ken Watanabe) who really carries the movie until the major appearance of MUTO. Here, the technical mumbo-jumbo is more of a character in itself than many of the human characters. As for MC being annoying and easy to hate, it seems some people who said it opted for the English dub coz they hate subtitles and the English dub is rumored to be not as good as the Japanese dub, so people dislike the character even more. Is it true though? I didn't bother to crosscheck.

I thought of waiting until all movies were out before watching it, but in the end I couldn't resist.
It was a pretty solid movie, and a nice different take on Godzilla. I thought it was weird that two different alien civilizations suddenly showed up to help humans, but I figure the religious ones waited until Godzilla showed up on purpose. And by the looks of the after credits scene, it looks like a third alien faction settled on Earth while the others were away, unless they're humans that somehow managed to survive this long.

Well if the current human inhabitants aren't having problems, then the human invaders should learn to coexist with Godzilla imo. Godzilla = Counter Force (Nasuverse definition)

Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters is the 32nd Godzilla film, the 30th Godzilla movie produced by Toho, and the first foray into anime for the franchise. Apparently nobody had the idea to make a Godzilla anime despite "Godzilla" and "anime" being in close proximity to each other for the longest time, but that's neither here nor there
The story goes that one day, giant monsters suddenly appeared on Earth and started cleaning house. And cities. And countries. And pretty much entire continents. Humanity somehow managed to fight off the appearance of kaiju after kaiju, until Godzilla himself emerged from who knows where and started obliterating everything from man to monster, pretty much taking the planet for himself or at least became the planet's overlord. Because of this, humanity is forced into space to search for another habitable planet, but the futility of their efforts forces them back to Earth where thousands of years have passed From there, the story is "kill Godzilla and take back the planet." In terms of how much there there is in this film, there isn't a lot. It's a straight shot from point A to point B without an A-1, A-2, or A-4. It unfortunately means we don't get much in terms of character personalities, and the way the story is set, you'd be hard-pressed to have a swathe of expression without being incongruous to the mood. Which is actually the strongest point about this anime Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters graciously keeps the humor to zero and isn't afraid to be sincere. It fires on all cylinders and avoids the failings of many dark anime. It's hopeless without being depressing, serious without being dry, and terrifying without being shocking. No, don't reread that because I meant what I said. Godzilla is an inherently hard creature not to idolize in terms of awe and spectacle, the number of films where he's genuinely scary can be counted on one hand; this movie is in their number. A combination of wide angle sweeps, low-angle shots, bone crunching sound design, and Gen Urobuchi's writing make every moment where Godzilla is on-screen just uncomfortable to watch; you root for the humans in this movie, which almost never happens And for capturing what so few of his films have done alone, Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters is most definitely worth checking out. I can't say the human characters are little more than a vehicle to move the plot, but we're not traversing Earth anymore; we're exploring a planet of monsters P.S.: giant monsters invade home, forces humanity into exile, and now humanity wants to take back what's theirs and angry boy wants to kill all monsters Godzilla... sie sind das essen und wir sind die kaiju?
