“SHIN GODZILLA” was co-directed by Hideaki Anno (creator of “Evangelion”) and Shinji Higuchi (director of “Attack on Titan” live action movies) and is the 29th film produced by Toho Co., Ltd. in the iconic science fiction monster franchise. The film grossed more than $1.9M at the box office during its North American theatrical release last October. “SHIN GODZILLA” will be released on August 1 and is available in both DVD and Blu-ray/DVD Combo + UV editions. Both editions are available for pre-order at the official Funimation website.

GODZILLA!!! I haven't heard much from the Godzilla series in a long time. Great to see that there are still devoted fans who wish to keep the series alive and strong!
