The upcoming Godzilla anime, the 30th Godzilla film to be produced by Toho Pictures, is set to air on Netflix. It will be available on the streaming service after it’s initial Japanese theater run. The anime is the latest Godzilla film to hit theaters after Gareth Edwards’ (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) version in 2014 and Shin Godzilla from Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi in 2016. The anime will be called simply Godzilla and released later this year. More information about the anime will be released at an event at AnimeJapan 2017 on March 26. The film will be streamed in over 190 countries when it hits Netflix.
Godzilla will be animated by Polygon Pictures, who did Knights of Sidonia. The director of that film, Kobun Shizuno, will partner up with AJIN: Demi-Human director Hiroyuki Shshita for the Godzilla anime. Gen Urobuchi, writer of Psycho-Pass, will take on the script.
