ANIME NEWS: First Godzilla anime film gets green light for release in 2017
Godzilla is set to go on a rampage again next year, but this time in the first animated feature film adaptation in the series about the “king of monsters.”
No details about the “Godzilla” story have been released, but it appears the animated film will mark a dramatic departure from previous titles in the series.
A teaser visual features three people against the backdrop of a great natural landscape.
The anime project is co-directed by Kobun Shizuno, who scored a hit with “Detective Conan: The Darkest Nightmare,” and Hiroyuki Seshita, director of CG anime “Knights of Sidonia” and “Ajin: Demi-Human.”
Gen Urobuchi, who wrote the “Puella Magi Madoka Magica” anime series that won the Grand Prize award in the Animation Division at the 15th Japan Media Arts Festival, is in charge of providing the story concept and screenplay.
