https://anilist.co/anime/124786/GodzillaSingularPoint/ As the title says Dont get misleaded by GODZILLA PROS The Art Style The art style is really a major standout for this Anime. Every character design looks unique vibrant. The monster character designs Radons Spiders of course Godzilla gives the feel of the monster that they are. The series is made by studios bones FMAB MHA Orange Land of the Lustrous Beastars and you can tell whos making what if Ive seen their previous works. The human designs looks so vibrant which are hand drawn. And the monster design look creepy scary but unique which is thanks to the CGI. Many have a misconception that CGI is always bad but thats definitely not the case here. The clunky CGI really worked for the creepiness monstrous look for the giant other wordly creatures. Cons Bland Characters During every episode which has a monster attacking a character I constantly asked myself Why should I care for you?. I know that sounds really harsh edgy but seriously the characters are just so bland they feel more like Plot devices than actual characters. Their only personality is their design maybe their high intelligence but nothing else. The series focusses so much on the plot and the scifi element which completely forgets that these are people. Only memorable character are the AIs who shows more personality than people. Things we can debate on This is a section where few things may or may not apply to others that I personally found bad. So these may not be cons or pros. Lack of more Godzilla I mean cmon.... You have Godzilla in the title and there are like what A 20 minute scenes in the whole 13 episodes Anime?? Are you kidding me? is what many might think after watching this. I havent watched many Godzilla films watched only two of them but I think that shouldnt be considered here. This is Anime with not much to the production and thats a liveaction Hollywood film with more budget. Its kinda unfair to compare both but thats really understandable if you are someone who expected to see big creatures fight and hated this work. I dont really disliked lack of Godzilla but it couldve been so much better if Godzilla had much screentime The Scifi Element Honestly it is pretty interesting how the series managed to convey its scifi element through boring dialogues. The exposition is completely based on more more dialogue which is very fast pacedfor sub watchers Dub seems to be fine. For Die Hard Scifi fans who constantly wants to wrap their head around this show can be a treat. For me though I really found it boring even though its actually interesting. You could actually tell the creators did their research. I mean HELL. One of the spiritual theories they talk aboutThe Bagvadgita is something Im familiar of. Its really nice to see a homage for my country. But thats kinda it. I really appreciate it but it didnt impressed me because of the bland execution through boring dialogue. The Blend between 2D 3D In the seriesand few Anime in general you have few scenes where they blend the 2D 3D together. Now this is a little problem for me. While they are good in their own way they arent really good together because the distinction is visible. I personally think its a little out of the place cause it didnt worked well. This is a very common problem for anything that tries to blend 2D 3D. You have the infamous CGI crowds that looks so out of the place that it can put you off like in many Anime but then you also have something like Land of the Lustrous CGI that really uses 3D in a way that many still framed 2D scenes cant try to deliver. Summary May not be for GODZILLA fans but it can be a good watch for Die hard Scifi fans. For people who just want to check this out tho not really worth your time.
