I have discussed the subtraction review and now I will talk about the Addition one.
I should mention about the history of the Godzilland sub-franchise. If you want to skip all this and see me actually talking about the episode, scroll down till you start seeing pics.
I found a few sites that talked about it. It started in during 1984 to celebrate Godzilla's 30th anniversary and the release of a new Godzilla movie called Return of Godzilla or Godzilla 1984(or 1985 depending you are going by US release). The 1st one in over a decade and 1st in the Heisei Timeline.
Godzilland had Godzilla and the gang in cartoony artwork and they a ton of merchandise of stickers, bored games, cards, etc.
There were two games that came in the US. One on MSX in 1985 and one on Game Boy in 1990. I'm sure anyone who were speaking English were scratching their heads why Godzilla is so tiny in those games. The internet was in it's infant years after all, so no one knew anything.
To promote Godzilla vs. Mothra: The Battle for the Earth in 1992. There was a live-action trivia show. Some parts have a Godzilla suit interacting with humans and later showed a cartoony Godzilla during intermissions and in the corner.
The same thing happen again in 1993 to promote Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla II. (The II doesn't really serve a purpose since this is a reboot with MechaG having different origins.)
In 1994, they released two episodes of the Godzilla cartoon on VHS. The ones that didn't get subtitled. The ones that did get fan subtitled were release on VHS in 1996. After that, the sub-franchise of Godzilland ended.
The destroyer of Tokyo is making breakfast.
Godzilla and the human were counting the number of pancakes and the Big G added a few more to the plate and started discussing addition. This leads to him talking about his childhood.
It starts with Godzilla and Anguirus fighting.
They are reenacting their scene from Godzilla Raids Again.
Gee, despite being best buds, they sure fight alot when they were kids.
Godzilla met up with Godzilly
Godzilla is mad because Anguirus bit his tail but according to Godzilly, the King of the Monsters started it by biting Anguirus' leg. He realized what went wrong and decide to apologizeto him.
Meanwhile...
Wait, wouldn't your spiky back rip that to shreds?
Mechagodzilla met with our fellow kaiju and told him he wants to play with him in his cave.
After all, you broke my jaw in your 1st movie.
Like the previous episode, he is forcefully trying to make friends.
Baragon warns Godzilla whats going on. As MechaG is flying away with Anguirus in his arms. Godzilla then does this...
It barely goes beyond a few feet. Geez, does somebody need to step on your tail to release your full blast like what you do to your son.
Minya only shoots pathetic smoke rings unless his dad steps on his tail.
The real reason Godzilla can't shoot atomic breath is because he's has an empty stomach.
They go to the trees and gather oranges. Godzilla lay out three and Godzilly lay out two. Meaning they are teaching kids addition. They did the same thing again to feed Godzilly oranges too since she too is hungry.
We now got a filler song scene about addition. Now back to the plot.
That's alot fish
Godzilla plans to barbecue the fish.
However, I think he cooked it a little too much.
They counted everyone's pile of fishes and add them together to teach the kids.
Rodan comes in and "morphs" into the addiction symbol. I guess if you squint your eyes, it may look like a plus sign.
On their way, they hear voices.
This is how they see humans when rampaging though the cities.
Seriously ants is blocking your path. Just step on them, smack them with your tail, or shoot your atomic breath.
They won't let Godzilla and the gang through. They got reinforcements to back them up. Being educational to the kids. The gang use addition on the number of ants.
Then this happens.
He defeated Ghidorah, Gigan, Hedorah, MechaG, Destoroyah, but he can't handle a few ants.
The ants told them they are tresspassing into their flower garden and the kaiju apologized.
Don't step on them are you gonna catch Holy Hell.
We got another filler song about addition.
I admit I fast forward these education scenes and music videos.
We finally got to where MechaG is forcing Anguirus to play.
Ouch!! Stepping on the groin.
Our Heroes are climbing up the steep mountain. They are not enjoying it.
But you can fly.
Yeah, this was one of those weird moments from the 70s that fans like to forget.
MechaG comes out of the cave and says he releases their friend if they answer all his questions about addition correctly. Like the other episode, he's dressed up like a game show host.
What a sore loser.
Anguirus leaves the cave and give his bro a hug.
MechaG realized again that you shouldn't force people to play and apologized to the gang.
Where were you when Anguirus was taken? You could of swoop in and help. Great help you were.
They ended the episode with another filler song. Somebody uploaded a 4-minute clip of the songs if you want to see.
The last part was back in live action. Godzilla told the human to close her eyes and when she open, they were all gone. Geez, Godzilly is right. You are a miser.
It's like what I said in the Subtraction part. It's obviously it's made to teach kids. It is however neat to find a interesting forgotten piece in Godzilla franchise however. It's kinda funny to imagine the kaiju version of Muppet Babies.
