Klebart Thu, 25 Feb 2010 03:21:20 +0000 http://godzillaactionfigurestoys.com/godzilla-the-original-animated-series-vol-1/#comment-359 That's right, I am asking for a better DVD release for this classic cartoon. I haven't bought the cartoon on DVD, as yet. I want to. I really liked this cartoon growing up. I am glad that it is on DVD - at the very least, anyway. What I am bugged about is why each DVD release only has four episodes on it. What not release all the episodes in one release? That's what I am bummed about. I really don't have the cash, or don't want to shell out the money they are asking, for a tease of a release. If this is the only ever release of this cartoon, I will wait for the price to come down and then buy. Still, we are out about eighteen episodes. If it comes out altogether, I'd rather buy that. To sum up: good cartoon, bad marketing practice. Rating: 3 / 5 That’s right, I am asking for a better DVD release for this classic cartoon. I haven’t bought the cartoon on DVD, as yet. I want to.

Carrubba Wed, 24 Feb 2010 21:45:13 +0000 http://godzillaactionfigurestoys.com/godzilla-the-original-animated-series-vol-1/#comment-357 I loved Godzilla when I was a small child, and when I heard that he was to be in a cartoon show, I expected a lot. My disappointment with this show started with the opening credits when Godzilla opened his mouth and emitted the wrong roar. Knowing now that Toho was responsible for this omission and not HB doesn't make it any more forgivable, especially when the animated series based on GINO (TriStar's "Godzilla In Name Only") does have better stories and the right roar (although not the right character!) The horrors with HB's Godzilla continued as it became a "monster of the week" show. Suddenly, Earth was overrun with monsters for Godzilla to deal with each week. And of course the character was further bastardized by adding a cute junior version of the Big G and a group of lame supporting human characters that just compounded the mess. This Godzilla, simply put, has nothing to do with the Godzilla that I love from the movie series. GINO was more loyal to the essence of the character, if not the appearance and backstory. I recall the word I used most when describing this tripe as a youth was "stupid. " Growing up hasn't made this show any better.

I have to agree that it is true to the classic Showa series. It takes place just after the end of that series. It is 1 of only three american project set in the Showa universe. The others are the Marvel comic and the Wonderland audio adventures. (All other american made Godzilla projects such as the Novels, Dark Horse comics and Tri-star cartoon dont follow the continuity of any of the movie series. ) The Hanna-Barbera Godzilla show follows the same basic format as the movies. But the momentum is always forward (especially on DVD with no reruns to contend with) as Godzilla battles a new beast in every episode. No repeats like in the movies. Ther constant re-use of the same classic monster again and again has bogged down the movies in recent years (I've gotten VERY tired of seeing Mothra, Ghidorah and Mechagodzilla constantly being reinvented. ) Ye, this show never used any of Toho's other monsters, but I think its okay: and the monsters HB came up with have a Japanese flavor. There is a giant turtle in one episode, alot like Gamera. Some episodes have walking statues or idols like Majin. There is a giant robot like in Johnny Sokko or Ultraseven, and there are dinosaur types and aliens like in Ultraman. In fact the plot of this show is alot like Ultraman and other monster of the week shows. Think about it. { A group of scientists travels around investigating strange phenomena and discover a monster which must be dealt with, and is destroyed by episodes end. Since the ULTRAMAN vol. 1 box is really bad quallity. Buy this show or the KING KONG cartoon instead. Rating: 5 / 5 This is a very entertaining show.
