TOHO Brings Back the 1978 Godzilla Animated Series’ Season 2 on YouTube

Godzilla is a franchise that goes far and wide, both in popularity and variety. You won’t find a single person who doesn’t have a Godzilla-related pun that they are proud of.

While the newer productions of the character are fantastic pieces of action with God-level graphics, we shouldn’t forget our roots. The early media of Godzilla, like the 1954 film or the animated series, are the reasons that today we know it as one of the biggest franchises ever.

So to honor its legacy, TOHO will stream the franchise’s 1978 American-animated series, Godzilla’s second season, on YouTube from June 6, 2022.

The trailer released for the announcement gives us a glimpse into the retro-themed animation of the series with dramatic music and Godzilla’s terrifying iconic roar. It also features the monster’s nephew Godzooky, a fan-favorite character because of his awkward moments and great comic timing.

Godzooky is always described as cowardly and weak compared to the mighty and ferocious Godzilla. However, he has some redeeming qualities because his best friend happens to be a human named Pete.

As many of you already know, the plot revolves around a team of scientists consisting of their head, Captain Carl Majors, the scientist Dr. Quinn Darien, her nephew Pete Darien, and her research assistant Brock Borden.

Whenever there’s a disaster like a monster attack, the team always turns to their fire-breathing savior Godzilla, who can also shoot lasers from his eyes. If that isn’t awesome enough for you to watch (or rewatch) it, then I am definitely judging your taste in the action genre.

It’s refreshing to watch the 70’s retro animation style again, and I know this series will be a trip down memory lane for so many fans.

I can’t wait to binge the entire season now!

About Godzilla

The concept of Godzilla emerged from the 1954 film by Ishiro Honda. It was then featured in films by TOHO.

Godzilla is a huge monster that plagues human lives. It is almost indestructible and wreaks havoc over humanity.

Every media has portrayed the story of Godzilla in a different way and its story has been tweaked each time.
