However during that time, there was educational Godzilla anime that was only four episodes released on VHS(and later uploaded to YouTube decades later)
Only two of the four got subtitled by fans. I be reviewing the subbed ones.
The episode starts with your typical anime opening.
Baragon and Moguera digging.
There must be some Kaiju far more powerful than Rodan to blow away King Ghidorah and Gigan with hurricane winds.
The symbol of a nuclear bomb is playing jump rope.
There's one scene where Godzilla shoot his atomic breath and it damaged the moon. The next shot showed this.
We got a live-action segment of Godzilla and a human getting ready to have strawberry cupcakes. I guess Godzilla has his son Minilla's powers or Jet Jaguar's to change to human sized.
Yes, the destroyer of Tokyo is having cupcakes.
They notice they don't have enough strawberries for the cupcakes and Godzilla use subtraction to see how many strawberryless cupcakes he has. They then talked about Godzilly and how she was a nice sweet girl. During the discussion, Godzilla is blushing. You read that right.
They flashback to cartoon times.
There is a female pink Godzilla. She's officially called Gojirin, which is a more feminine version of Gojira(Godzilla's Japanese name.) The fan translators called her Godzilly. Her dorsal fins look like hearts and she has eyelashes. Don't ask me how lizards have eyelashes?
Godzilla wanted to give Godzilly some oranges. He wanted to share with her but he realized his oranges fall on an odd number and he can't figure out how many to give.
You have two brains in your body and you can't figure out simple math.
Mothra came to help Godzilla out. She's the only "adult" in the show. She does have two Larva Mothras(her kids basically) around on the island. She's basically the Nanny from Muppet Babies but with a face.
Your not Pac-Man
Mothra tries to help out by covering the oranges in yellow balls. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's poison powder to kill the G-Man to prevent him killing her in 1964 or to save Battra 1992.
Then Godzilla jokes maybe he should have all the oranges to himself.
We got a quick song session about subtraction. After that, we got transitions with Gigan flying and Moguera coming out of the dirt. That's their only scenes in these episodes. :(
The next session has Anguirus going all White Rabbit saying, "I'm late, I'm late.
Suddenly, Anguirus came busting in.
The G-Man is jelly.
I guess the reason they fought in Godzilla Raids Again was over her.
So much for phrase, Pals before Gals.
Skin? But your reptiles. Your skin should be all hard and scaly.
Godzilla and Baragon try to compete who had the most apples.
Mothra came in the middle of dudes fighting over a women and suddenly turn this into a math session.
Godzilla had a little more than Anguirus, while Baragon.
That's payback for stomping on me on GMK.
But in the end, Godzilly told everyone.
They laugh. I guess they had a feast afterwards.
Godzilla notice Godzilly is watering flowers at her window and decide to give her extra plants while she's sleeping.
Isn't that breaking and entering?
Also, why Godzilla sleeps in hard rocky caverns and deep underwater crevices when she sleeps in a neat comfy bed?
She notice the next morning she has new flowers and used subtraction to count the amount of flowers she got. The next night, Godzilla does the same thing and she used subtraction again. She soon learn who put them on her window soon enough.
Then she learn where they come from..
Uh oh
Your in trouble now
The next scene we got another subtraction song.
Next scene starts with MechaGodzilla wanting to play with Godzilly.
Unfortunately, MechaG doesn't have a cool robotic voice. Instead, he has your typically regular kids voice just like every other character on the show.
He is very forceful to make her play with him.
Your eyes are not playing tricks. The G-Man is surfing.
Rodan catches up with Godzilla and Anguirus and tells them the news. Rodan stay behind. Seeing he died from MechaG in the 90s, it's probably a good idea.
Our two kaiju met up with MechaG. He will release Godzilly if they win a game of math. Don't you like it people try to settle serious matters through a game. I like to see an alien invasion prevented just because somebody won a game of that they were challenged to.
Funny he was able to change while holding her tail down.
They were able to solve all his questions and this causes MechaGodzilla to leave.
Geez for a robot, he is very emotional.
Godzilly is released and happily jump into Godzilla's arms...In front of Anguirus.
Being the 3rd wheel sucks.
Another subtraction song happen. During the times they show math throughout the episode, the Mothra Larva "morphs" into a subtraction symbol.
Mothra spots the crybaby MechaGodzilla and ask him what happen. He told her the events on the pier. She told him to go to the other kaiju to apologized.
They accept his apology and let him join games of jump rope and soccer.
It's obviously to aimed towards kids. Your not suppose to take this seriously. I can see several Godzilla fans being angry that Godzilla and everyone else is all kiddy like. It's sort like the kaiju version of Muppet Babies.
I guess you bring kids to watch it to learn math but with the show in Japanese, it may be a little harder since they may still learning to read as well.
I will say it's far superior than Godzilla's Revenge. People is going to watch every Godzilla movie, including that terrible movie. How you feel if you watch 3 serious Avengers movies and then the 4th one is about a random kid falling asleep and dreams he's inside the Avenger tower and become buddies with Iron-Man's son who has a voice like Goofy and they watch the Avengers battle outside with nothing but stock footage. It isn't a obscure cartoon spinoff aimed towards kids, it's part of the main line of the MCU.
