First announced early in October, Godzilla: Singular Point is in production as a collaborative effort from two major Japanese anime studios. Studio Bones has produced acclaimed programs like like My Hero Academia and Mob Psycho 100. It’s working with Studio Orange, an outfit notable for CG anime productions like Beastars and Land of the Lustrous.
The preview shows off cuts from the series, including various Kaiju animated in CG, including a mecha that looks a lot like Jet Jaguar, a humanoid robot from 1973’s Godzilla vs. Megalon. Godzilla itself is shrouded by red mist, only the mouth and telltale atomic glow visible. Other shots include protagonists Mei, Yun, and more.
Atsushi Takahashi, credited the Blue Exorcist films, is directing Godzilla: Singular Point. Character designs will be supplied by Blue Exorcist creator Kazue Kato, and music by Yowamushi Pedal composer Kan Sawada. Eiji Yamamori will provide Kaiju designs, while sci-fi author Toh EnJoe will supervise and create scripts.
Netflix also indicated a release window for the series. It will debut on Tokyo MX in Japan and Netflix in April of 2021.
