SHIN-GODZILLA Now Available On Blu Ray / DVD!
In 2014, Toho officially announced the birth of their “G-Con” panel of experts to craft a new Japanese Godzilla film set to hit in 2016. In 2015 the Japanese title was revealed to be ‘Shin-Gojira’, meaning both “New” and “True” Godzilla upon translation. The international title was set as Godzilla: Resurgence, with Funimation picking up the wildly successful TOHO epic for a U.S. release under the title SHIN GODZILLA. Western fans witnessed the modern incarnation of a Japanese Gojira in October of 2016, and the fandom hasn’t been the same since. The film has yet to release on home video for U.S. fans. For spoiler-free reviews of the film, check out our KAIJU FILMS entry.
The title of Toho’s return to the Godzilla franchise is Shin-Gojira, which roughly translates to mean either “True” or “New” Godzilla. The double entendre is purposeful.
