Thanks so much for watching! Were you a fan of Godzilla: The Series? What were your thoughts on the live action 1998 Godzilla?
I watched it on Fox Kids.
I was a big fan! Never watched the live action movie tho.
I loved that show as a kid and was actually planning on rewatching it
Yes I love the show on Fox kids and would catch every single episode as much as I could! It's super good and brings this iteration of Godzilla into prominence unlike his movie counterpart!
I honestly liked it.
The best part about Zilla being killed in literally the shortest fight in Godzilla history is the creator of Zilla was very happy that his creation made it into an actual Godzilla movie. He didn't care that it was being made fun of.
That's actually awesome that the original creator enjoyed it
oddly wholesome
Nice to hear he was a good sport about it.
It is so sad. They made SOOO many better designs before choosing that one. And all of them were better.
Hopefully the original Godzilla did the same to Godzilla minus one .
No matter what anyone says, Zilla, it's movie and this show, will be the origin for my love of Godzilla and Kaiju. Without any of them I wouldn't be such a big Godzilla fan today. So no matter how much it gets shit on, Zilla will have a place near and dear to my heart.
the main reason for that is that the Japanese Godzilla movies never came on tv on the west during the 90s and 2000s but this stuff did .
Monsters were meant for New York, its inevitable! 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
Hey sometimes that’s all that matters. I’m sure it’s the same for many other people
Same
Why would anyone debate your origin?
Zilla: “who are you?”
Zilla Jr.: “I’m you, but better.”
Yes
Zilla Jr: “The future is now old man.”
The human characters were beyond awesome in this series. Their personalities and how they played off of one another definitely carried the show.
Monique was my favorite
Such a cool butt kicking babe ❤
But Nick was a cool leader and good character in his own right
Being a genre where the humans often feel like they're in the way, that's quite the feat..!
I love the 1998 Godzilla film and this animated series is beyond underrated and underappreciated.
Plus, Dean Devlin directed and/or EPed a number of "Leverage" episodes as well as "The Librarian" films as well as episodes of its TV series adaptation.
@@JohnJacksonJohnson🥹 oh my god. Now I HAVE to watch it because I adore the librarian movies and the show 🤩
I swear this animation studio did some amazing animation but with some grotesuque monsters and enemies... from Godzilla, MIB, Extreme Ghostbusters, Big Guy and Rusty, they had some fantastic designs!
Yeah the show original kaijus were awesome desings
It would be cool to see some of the wierder desings adapted in a movie or a videogame
I love the one that was manifested from the mind of some dude, name's the Crackler or something like that
Those designs where by Fil Barlow (with some input by Patrick Tatopoulos for Gozilla, I believe).
As someone who is deep in the Godzilla fandom I can actually tell you how the fandom thinks of this show!
Its seen as an absolute masterpiece!
The movie has stayed a bit divisive though its not uncommon now to hear someone saying they really like it! And the general consensus for the design is that its not a good fit for Godzilla- but very good as its own thing and people would like to see it reappear! But that show is on a whole different level! Its held in extremely high regards and even people who HATED the film really loved the show. People love it. People miss it. And people want to see it come back! You would actually be the odd one out in the community if you didn't like it!
As for myself I love EVERY version of Godzilla and this giant Marine Iguana and its kid definitely have a very special place in my heart for them! Jr is great and definitively more ¨Godzilla¨ like though I just slightly love his mama/dad more! They are the highlight of the movie for me and that scene at the end always hits me like a truck! Or I guess a missile! ^^
And now if you excuse me im gonna go watch some MIB! If you know you know ;)
I couldn't have said it better myself. I don't hate any iteration of Godzilla and THIS was how I, and MANY of us in the US, actually fucking got into Godzilla! This movie, capped off the one of the greatest movie to tv series adaptations ever, really are the reason why so many of us went and sought out more Godzilla content and why its so damn popular now that we have the versions we DO have. But regardless, this will ALWAYS be my Godzilla and I'm thankful we got it. Be damned what negative comments may say about Zilla. Aint never did me wrong but get me more interested in Godzilla content and that to me is a goddamn win baby!
That’s really cool to know as a fan of Big G myself. :) I love the heck out of this series, so I’m glad to hear the reception is positive despite the movie’s lukewarm impression.
Thank you for this comment. I think Godzilla 98 gets hated on more because people think it's the cool thing to do rather than for any substantial criticism. Is it flawed in some respects? Absolutely. But damn if this isn't the most empathetic Godzilla has ever been and I think that is an accomplishment.
Dude summed up the G fandoms thoughts on this entire era in one comment. Kudos
Man the creature designs were so interesting. They didnt need to make them that unique but they did. Nearly every monster in this monster of the week show is memorable. I loved this show as a kid
Great series. It showed how this iteration deserves the name Godzilla. I loved all of the unique designs and I really wish the toy line could’ve been made.
I was obsessed with the movie when it came out in 1998. I didn’t care how bad it was, a giant mutant lizard destroying sh!t was all I needed. I had the action figures, the backpack, and… the chapstick 😅
I unapologetically love 98 Godzilla and the cartoon. I think the cartoon redeemed itself with how great the writing was. So many cool monsters and side characters, plus the monster wars arc was sick.
Was definitely 10x better than the film honestly. Really hope we get an animated show like it in the MV
This was my introduction to Godzilla, I still have the Fox Kids promos permanently ingrained in my head, this is some strong nostalgia here
What I loved about the series is that it also pays homage to the Hanna Barbara cartoon series as well. It had a similar premise minus Godzilla imprinting itself onto a human. In that cartoon Godzilla did team up with a group on a boat.
Godzilla the series was definitely awesome! Unlike his movie counterpart, THIS version got to battle monsters, use his Atomic breath, and taking hits like a champ! This Zilla is Definitely a Godzilla!! It's a shame Pokemon and the surge of kids with monsters took its spot, (I'm looking at you monster rancher, metabots, digimon, Etc) but still love it! Glad i got the whole series on dvd!
As a Godzilla fan, I have not seen the 1998 movie. But I have the entire show on DVD, and have watched it in its entirety.
I actually enjoyed it! Despite the repetitive nature of most of the episodes, it was entertaining enough for me to be invested in it.
Sure some, if not a lot of people, don't like Zilla but this was my first introduction to Godzilla as a kid and I loved the animated series. I actually re-watched the series a few months ago. Totally recommend.
Kid me actually found the movie Zilla pretty cool looking, but was disappointed it never had any atomic breath. Just one scene where it roared at exploding cars kind of reminiscent of atomic breath.
This show made up for that in spades, and I loved it. Heretical it may be to some, but this is actually one of my top favorite versions of Godzilla.
I watched that movie and cartoon series. I saw the movie in a theater. The guy running the projector messed up and closed the curtains while the movie was still playing. Then the lights turned on. People were pissed.
The Zilla from the cartoon is one of the best kaiju ever created imo. They breathed life into that design in a huge way. And they even brought back the elder Zilla from the movie as a sort of mechagodzilla that looked awesome, more of a cyborg look than full-on mecha. I'd put this in the top 100 SatAM cartoons of all time, personally. It's highly enjoyable start to finish, and you come to really like the human team as well.
The Zilla design is peak godzilla and i prefer him being separate from Godzilla himself. I hope we see him in a future godzilla fighting game.
It’s weird to think how many blockbuster movies from the late 90s and very early 2000s got their own tv series. Godzilla 99, MIB, The Mummy, Evolution and many more. It’s sort of a lost art in a way.
I loved this show as a kid, it has great animation, the monster designs were awesome and it was very different from any other show at the time
Unpopular opinion but I absolutely LOVE Zilla😂 I thought the Broderick movie was pretty good actually, ( even though it was my first introduction to the Godzilla franchise as a kid)
But I greatly enjoyed this cartoon when it was on back in the day and occasionally watch the reruns.. only problem is I wish the toy line for this cartoon was released.. they only exist in prototype and they are wicked cool!!!😂
I'm a huge Godzilla fan, but I always have a soft spot for Zilla. How can you not? He's got a cool character design❤😂
I'd have loved the Cyberzilla toy. SO frustrating! I'd also love to see Zilla brought into the current US Monsterverse.
I loved this movie and the series. Obviously, I love the Toho godzilla movies too (rented those all the time from Blockbuster), but Zilla has a special place in my heart. The movie's effects actually hold up alright considering the age and the series (like Clone Wars for the Star Wars prequels) helped turn a movie with problems into a beloved classic for me. The creature designs on all the enemy monsters in the series, just chef's kiss.
98 Godzilla is my Godzilla, and I love the other version of Godzilla, but this was the one I grew up with. I even just rewatched it and now I see you upload a video about its followup series, how fun! I hadn't seen the series until only a couple years ago. I remember seeing it advertised on the VHS, but I just never watched it. I find it online, but the episodes are all out of order and there's some duplicates, but then I find that the whole series was release on DVD, and in production/chronological order, and it's great! While it ends a bit like any other episode of the show, it also has a bit of closure to it, too. The world will remain safe with HEAT and Godzilla in operation, and each character kind of couples up, so you know, everyone's happy (Until Season 3 where they would probably all break up and hate each other again, glad we got the good ending. XD).
I hope one day that 98 Godzilla returns and it's more as a celebration than out of petty spite. I'm curious if Sony and/or Toho would allow that. There's definitely a fan following, and especially with what we see from this show, it would be fun to have some of these creatures and their abilities carried over into a new universe. Although their origins are from toxic spills and such, the Hollow Earth of the Legendary Monster-Verse needs populating, and there's plenty of great creatures to pull from. Heck, given how insane the Monster-Verse is getting you could just bring in the multiverse and have 98 Godzilla and HEAT and everything come flying in for even just a single movie, and it wouldn't even not make sense since we've seen aliens and time travel in that universe, and we're just waiting for it to happen in the Monster-Verse, too.
It was 100 times better than the movie it was tied to. I love it
This is one of the few monster shows where humans actually get to use their brains and find creative solutions to the problems, instead of just the monster protagonist showing up, beating up everything and saving the day.
Zilla was my first exposure to the Godzilla franchise. It will always be special to me. I have fond memories of the cartoon as well as another series called Evolution that I watched alongside it.
WAIT... Remember Godzilla, the Hanna Barbera produced cartoon from the 70s that would later be rebroadcast in the 90s on Cartoon Network and TNT?
I think I might be the only human being that actually liked that movie. Yeah it wasn't the traditional Godzilla and was goofy at moments, but I enjoyed it.
It's funny this Godzilla is nicknamed Zilla Jr, some joke and say unlike its parent Jr deserves the God part of their name.
Also in some comics they show Zilla as a fast and cunning monster as he ducks around Godzilla burrowing underground before popping up elsewhere to jump Big G
I honestly love this version of Godzilla the most
Remember it? Dude this was my childhood! I hope someone of the monsters in this joint the monsterverse. Also oh my gosh I had that costume. I also heard Roland tried every thing he could do to get fired
Love the teen toon era of the late 90s and early 2000s, adapting comic characters but as teens and adapting PG-13 movies. Batman Beyond, Teen Titans, X-Men Evolution, Extreme Ghostbusters, Men in Black, Godzilla, what a time to be alive
I love this show. Throwback Toona ran a few episodes on their channel not that long ago.
I still remember this series, I even have it on DVD. monster fights, aliens, everything a Godzilla fan at the time would want
I love how much love this show has been getting over the last few years it's a serious comfort show for me.
had the sucker holder that spun and the jaw opened and closed, very fun. a kid in class had the backpack and i was super jelly. I think taco bell had some toys as well, good times.
I do remember, I saw a dvd of the whole series at Walmart a few years ago and snatched that shit up instantly
I've got big nostalgia for this and the Jumanki show - I remember both wy more than the movies that they're based on. Your on camera sections have really gotten good by the way.
I loooved this series as a kid, thanks for the video ❤ Seems series of this same studio like Ghostbusters and Man in Black had more success in latin america (i am from Brazil) than the us itself. It was always on tv during lunch time, so much nostalgia, and such an amazing creative design on the creatures ❤❤
This series was soooooo good! One of the best things on Saturday mornings! 😊😊😊
I actually did watch this whole show, I discovered it when I was in either 8th or 9th grade when I discovered a DVD case of the whole series at my local library, so I rented it and watched the whole thing. I loved it. Definitely better than the movie, especially now that I've done more research on Godzilla as a whole and watched basically every monster verse movie thus far. I plan on watching Monarch Legacy of Monsters soon.
I loved this as a kid
I haven’t seen your videos in a little bit cool to c this and stuck in the suburbs hopefully there’s even more I watched!! Keep up the good work mane
I didnt have the chapstick holder unfortunately, you seem to be one of the lucky few that did. I did watch this show religiously as a kid though! The animated series was to me as the live action movies were to you. I was ALL over that cartoon, and I need to watch it again.
Wow this video helped me remember a core memory ...
There use to be a kids play place called "discovery zone." I want to say the last theme they had was actually based on this very cartoon series!
I love this show, but it was competing with Pokemon and Digimon at the time, so it only lasted two seasons. Zilla Jr is the best Godzilla I've ever seen and will always be my favorite.
i used to watch this cartoon after coming back from school everyday way back in 2000s. thats how i fell in love with Godzilla movies.
I completely forgot about this series, I loved it as a kid 😂
Ironic that you would compare it to Scooby Doo, since Hanna Barbera basically made that already with their Godzilla series in 1978. This series is basically an updated version of that one, but with the omission of everyone's favorite nephew, Scrappy Doo.... I mean Godzooky.
I accidentally found this show either earlier this year or late last year, and I’ll admit, I had fun watching it. It was just a show trying to have a good time. And when I found out Jeff Kline (is that how you spell his name. He’s the guy who was an executive producer on Transformers Prime) was part of the making of it, I was willing to give it a chance. I know if I watched this as a kid (with a less critical and animator mind as I do now) this would’ve definitely been one of those shows that was a big staple of my childhood.
So glad you reviewed my suggestion! Love this series and genre to death.
I remember watching the older animated Godzilla show with Godzooki .
The timing! I JUST started watching this again following the announcement of the new monsterverse movie
The tv show rocks! Especially my boy NIGEL!!!
I’ve been waiting for you to this show. I loved this cartoon and the Gameboy game that went along with it.
This is my all time favorite cartoon. Thank you for covering it. I still have really fond memories of this and MIB the series. I just watched Godzilla -0.1 in Imax and I took my old Taco Bell Godzilla 98 cup, baseball cap, and t-shirt. I love the classics and the modern renditions but 98 was my first. (I had the chap stick, I also have a school eraser set from the same line too)
seriously watched a few episodes online a couple months back cause I had the urged to watch this series again. I remembered it a lot not because of any storylines or characters. It was the art style that was always stuck inside my head, cause it was so crazy with their monster designs. I mean, these are some insane designs for the monsters and think that is why I still remember MiB the series and Extreme Ghostbusters cause the same people did the animation and the creature designs are insane!!
..and you unlocked a memory with that chap stick holder cause I swear I played around with that thing.
Remember when you said you did this to "get back into the Christmas 🎄 spirit"? Well, now its a part of some of our holiday traditions!!! Excellent work, and thanks for helping amp up the festivities! As for godzilla, MECHA-KING GHIDORAH RULES ALL!!!
I loved this show as a kid
1:41 I don't know whether to laugh or question what just happened.
Okay so funny thing, I found the Godzilla chap stick holder at a garage sale last summer, but didn't know it was a chap stick holder until watching this video right now. XD
I remember going to this out of the way lazer tag place and instead of going and playing I sat in the lobby/eating area watching this on the tv. I regret not going in because apparently the lazer tag arena was completely based on the show. I had an inflateable Zilla punching bag, the books, toys, and a lot of other stuff still have some of it.
Nick looks like Peter Parker from the 90s Spider-Man cartoon
I remember the movie, show, and the Zilla action figure I had.
With button press screams.
Childhood memory unlocked.
Haha, you're always pretty funny man! 👍😁
oh man, I loved this show. I wished it had lasted longer.
A new fringe video what a wonderful day! And it's about Gojira himself, I've been huge into the Monster verse movies and Goji Centers content so I love seeing more channels paying attention to the media
Just gotta say, spirit to spirit dude, I love you. Keep it rolling, you're a beast in covering a lot of nostalgia.
So, this movie may not have done well, but they marketed the heck out of it. I had a Godzilla (1998) lunchbox, t-shirt, and book bag. I hung them all on the fence one recessy in Kindergarten, and I waited for a bully to come by to scare him with the various nonsense. The backpack had a huge rubber head sticking out of it that everyone liked to punch like a punching bag. I had Godzilla (1998) on VHS, but I never watched it. Maybe once? But that's not a surprise as I fell asleep in the theater. I watched it again in college. I haven't watched it since, though I did buy the digital copy as a part of a FanFlix bundle. Very glad to have it.
I remember watching this show on Netflix years ago and I remember loving it when I was younger it felt like a fun godzilla cartoon
I will forever enjoy this show. This show is by far the best rendition of Godzilla by far. This makes me enjoy this Godzilla better than the other, while they still have their charm. This makes it far better.
So my mom got me into the old Toho Godzilla movies, growing up we had a Blockbuster essentially down my street a couple blocks. When American Godzilla drops in DVD, I eventually see the trailer for the animated series. Asked my mom to get me "Animated Godzilla DVD set". Imagine my disappointment when I open Hanna-Barbera Godzilla and Godzooky. Little brother loved it and I learned to enjoy it but still held some resentment for not being the right show.
I knew about it but never watched it. I always saw it while watching reruns or recordings (ones we made) of Roughnecks: A Starship Troopers Chornicles. Finally saw a few episodes on youtube and wow it was dope. I love how it has similar music to the previously mentioned Roughnecks and the guy who voices Rico (the main Character of Starship Troopers) also voices a char in the Godzilla show is funny.
My brain for some reason mistook the guy who voiced Rico in the show as Casper Van Diem and was like "Holy Crap he was in this???" lol
I still have the throw blankets. I remember taco bell had a hug promotional on it to. A cup holder thing, and some Chihuahua plushes that would say "here lizard, lizard....oh I think I need a bigger net".
I remember liking this show more than the movie. This and Men in Black the series on Nickelodeon.
This ruled my childhood. I finally found the box set and watch it often. As a Godzilla fan I’ve seen every movie from 1954 to Godzilla V Kong (haven’t seen minus 1 yet) but I never understood the hate for the 98 movie.
I loved this growing up and this is what got me into the series as a whole. I always thought that if this Godzilla was different then it was probably normal all the other Godzillas looked different. I really feel like this huge appearance change allowed all studios to relax and form their own personal Godzillas! Gmk, final wars, hesei, showa, and monster verse included! So many wonderful designs
This show was my introduction to Godzilla, and holds a special place in my heart right next to Spider-Man: TAS. Glad to see it's still remembered. ❤
I remember watching Kong the animated series over this one but i hope they're both just as good
I remember. The show got grade-school me to wake up on Saturdays to watch the cartoon at 8AM.
The Medusa episode scared me so much as a kid
They also had Godzilla lollipops just like the chapstick I loved this movie
Love this show as a kid.
I remember this show. When I was very little I cut my hand playing outside, and it got infected. So I had to soak my hand in some kind of medicine, and my mom went to blockbuster and they had this TV show.....so I watched while I was stuck disinfecting my hand.
I didn’t have the chapstick holder but I did have the coin bank. Which had Godzilla roar everytime you put a coin in it.
Good times.
Oh my god(zilla), I had the chapstick! I'd completely forgotten where it came from. I remember just using the Godzilla that came with it as a pencil topper. No idea if I still have it.
I used to watch the shit out of this as a kid! I have no idea how I even found it tbh but I will always love Nigel the robot and how every time he gets killed it makes that stupid yell noise and it’s so funny for no reason 😂😂😂
Now you are obligated to do the 1978 Hanna-Barbara Godzilla cartoon.
Yes, the one with Godzooky.
Hey, i don't knock your childhood; don't knock mine.
Are you going to do the Kong Animated Series as well? Weird show but the mind melding was an interesting concept
13:16 yes, sounds like the 2020s. Did the Writers have a Time Machine?🙃
GTS is my first exposure to Godzilla (and kaiju in general).
It's one of my favorite cartoon shows.
That cartoon on Fox Kids was actually decent, that was the last good era of Fox Kids along with Big Guy and Rusty, Digimon, Mad Jack the Pirate, and the New Woody Woodpecker show! Godzilla was trying to be more like Jurassic Park mixed with Gargoyles!
Been rewatching this show recently with my daughter she absolutely loves it
I don't know which wikia I got it from but I call this one Tuna Head. I remember this being the first movie I saw in theaters. I remember the cartoon, I watched it on TV. I also had the Tuna Head cup holder. I now own the complete series and have watched it a few times. I love the relationship baby Tuna Head has with Nick. Will always come to save him. Though the last time I watched the film, I felt bad for Daddy Tuna Head because he didn't come into the world naturally. He's just trying to live after human activity mutated him.
Now I need to rewatch this show, the men in black cartoon, and the ghost busters cartoon that was in this animation style
I still have the huge figure with buttons you pressed to make it roar, move its arms and tail and the baby that came with it.
