Not only is the animation top notch, you actually managed to get their movements down accurately. Shin Godzilla being stiff and lumbering while legendary is more agile an animated. Small details like that really turn this into a convincing fight and makes this one of my all-time faves.

[abovearth]

Legendary Godzilla: "Bro stop spamming."

[Asertix]

Shin using his dorsal lasers as an anti-grappling defense? That's bloody brilliant.

[Plastizilla]

Its been 4 years since we got this masterpiece but the part 2 still doesnt come out, it's honestly sad.

[jeremycornejo]

Kid: playing with toy*

The kids mind;

[sirness]

[HuhHe]

[hmstr]

Shin Godzilla: "KILL ME!"

4 years later we do not have a part 2 to this masterpiece

[fireiron]

I literally graduated twice before this second part came out. I think bro is just making a whole 3 hour movie

[CockroachStomper]

Finally a real cinematic Godzilla fight every Godzilla fan asked for.

This is more cinematic than the movies.

This is just too good. I really loved it.

[inconsideratebox]

There's a lot of small details that make this animation so good, thought I'd mention them since I love them.

I want to talk about the engagement itself. Not the fight, but the start of said fight. Shin Gojira is not the one who starts the fight, it's Legendary Godzilla. Doesn't seem like a notable subject, but if such a fight were to happen, this would most likely be how it would occur.

The *Shin Gojira* movie is directed to be like a natural disaster event, with Japan suffering the attack from a massive creature known as Gojira. In this film, Shin isn't portrayed as a bloodthirsty killing machine, which has been loosely tied to the Gojira movies since inception. Instead, Shin is written to be like an animal with no self-consciousness who's brimming with power that it cannot contain. Shin is in great pain from the radiation running through its body, a victim of sorts. But, as mentioned, it's an animal, and so Shin wreaks havoc not because it is angry or wicked, but because it doesn't have the consciousness required to hold itself together and stay away from needless destruction and death. Of course, since humanity is being attacked, they fight back, attempting to kill Shin Gojira. Only then does Shin begin to target humans specifically, ravaging and killing everything to survive, again like an animal. Shin does not enjoy the havoc, nor is it deliberately choosing to wage war. It's a neutral event. Shin is in constant agony, and its reactions are the events of Shin Gojira: the catastrophic fall of Japan.

*Legendary's* version of *Godzilla, * in comparison to Shin, is much more conscious and capable of making decisions and understanding the consequences of said decisions. In fact, Godzilla shows the ability to hold emotion, which is evident in Kong v Zilla through Godzilla's comically "evil" laughs. In the Legendary films, Godzilla acts as a sort of "guardian" for humanity, killing the Kaijus that stain the Earth. He may seem like a hero, but his actions are not because Godzilla is a selfless protector. Godzilla is waging war against his enemies, attempting to take the crown and become the king of monsters. With this in mind, Godzilla decides to rise once other Kaijus invade, killing them to keep his throne upon Earth. He's aggressive, not willing to give any inches to his enemy. He wakes, finds, kills, then leaves. He wears the crown and doesn't allow it to be taken.

This Godzilla still isn't a bloodthirsty, soulless monster though. He does show mercy at the end of Kong v Zilla, where he silently agrees with Kong to hold back from battle and the fires born of it. Legendary's storyline isn't done just yet, but from what I know, Kong's people and Godzilla's people fought a war to control Hollow Earth, which is a world at the center of Earth's core. Godzilla's people lost, and so Godzilla was sent away from the Hollow Earth and away from the throne. Godzilla is attempting to get back on that throne through all his movies, which is what strings together the events of the Legendary Godzilla trilogy.

*That was a lot of lore, what's the point?*

Godzilla and Gojira have different characters, demeanors, personalities, of which dictate the way they carry themselves and their power. This is shown in the war they wage, which is very impressive.

Shin, who's existence is a curse in of itself, trudges through the city, roaring as its scales cry with radiant energy. When Legend shows up, the two acknowledge each other. Legend roars, and then lunges to begin the engagement. Shin noticeably does nothing during this time, probably because it wasn't expecting conflict, assuming Shin can even hold any thoughts. Legend and Shin have completely different goals in this engagement. Legend is very aggressive, choosing to fight the moment he sees Shin. We know why: to keep his throne. Shin is another Kaiju after all, and only one can be king. Shin is much less aware than Legend, not showing any emotion or any thought even as Legend lunges towards him. It's only when Gojira is attacked when Shin begins retaliating. Shin isn't here to fight, but it will do so if needed to survive. Legendary is clearly more seasoned than Shin, taking initiative and playing offense, while Shin mostly responds and plays defense until obvious openings appear. Shin is more likely to win because of the sheer amount of radiation energy it has, but it doesn't know how to fight, nor does it show any ability to strategize. I see Shin as a reactionary fighter, taking opportunities as they appear and fighting without a plan, while Legendary is the opposite, making use of his consciousness and power combined with some big ol' pride and honor.

The fact that these quirks are considered in this animation is very respectable; shows great understanding of the source material and characters. Animation itself was also astounding, but that's not new information.

I'm sad that 2 years later we don't have a part 2 to this masterpiece

[WerterPC]

Godzilla movie without humans: 100% entertainment.

[SolarWraith]

Hoping for a part 2 to this...still one of the best fan animations out there.

[Angel.A.A-fhqr]

Bro, I remember seeing this incredible animation of Godzilla vs Shin Godzilla back in the day, but part 2 isn't out yet.
I think they are preparing a masterpiece that could come out at any time in the next few years or even months.
