KUMONGA

The Durability Kaiju

These Kumongas are wayyy better than the classic one. The Megalon-like jaw is my favorite part of it's desing, the way it moves smoothly and the white stuff coming out of it, absolutely awesome (and creepy)! In case you are confused, the Hedorah looking blue thing is actually just the Kumongas without their exoesqueleton, this makes them way harder to kill.

Anno has delivered another Evangelion 3.0+1.0 illustration at the summer lantern festival. Check out that head design.

ONE WILL FALL

GODZILLA MINUS ONE ゴジラ-1.0 2023, dir. Yamazaki Takashi 

Some Godzilla SP Concept Art from CGWorld. Not sure if these are posted elsewhere; I hope it isn’t redundant. 

Anyways some cool things:

-Note the date near Godzilla’s name in the first image. Godzilla SP was conceptualized a long time ago, and Godzilla was designed all the way back in July 2018. Rodan and Angurius came later in September. 

-Sarunga is a new monster. The article goes into detail about it’s design process, but the concept art make both explicit reference to the fact that it takes inspiration from both Gabara and Baragon. Worth noting the article also calls it “Sarnga” in English text, indicating a possible English name. 

-Angurius is called “Angurius 2″. This could mean that there’s an aborted design we won’t see, or that there’s a few in the series. 

-Manda’s head has the motif of a frilled shark, while it’s “legs” have those of a mantis. It also takes a heavy influence from centipedes, specifically the Japanese Mukade. 

Godzilla

Terrestris

VS

"Fire" Rodan

As seen in episode 10, a giant Rodan covered in red fire like smoke tries to start a battle with Godzilla on eye sight, only to be obliterated by a giant blue ring fired by Godzilla Terrestris.

This Rodan seems to be at least close to Godzilla Terrestris's size (even the army is surprised), and people were complaining about him being small!

Rodans are a species, so there is more of them out there. There is no explanation why Rodan looks likes this, he also appears out of nowhere. They will release his concept art soon with a official name, but for now im calling him Fire Rodan, because he looks like it's on fire and is an obvious callback to Fire Rodan from the Heisei Era.

The colossal beauty of Shadow of the Colossus.
