A new kaiju-centric, kamishibai-style anime called KJ FILE is set to premier on TV Tokyo this July! It will tell a Showa-inspired story of humanity’s efforts to control and understand giant monsters that awaken around the world.
Bring it on!
Happy Alien Day!

James Bama, the legendary illustrator who – among many other artistic achievements – provided the iconic box art for Aurora’s monster model kits, has passed away. He was 96.
Rest In Peace to one of the most talented artists to ever leave a mark on the world of monster movies.
One year ago today, the first episode of GODZILLA SINGULAR POINT hit Netflix in Japan.
It’s hard to believe this astounding series has now crossed its first year of existence. Watching each new episode every week was an event, and I loved every second of it.
So... Season 2?
The next two Mill Creek Ultraman releases have just gone up for preorder!
They include 1992’s 26-episode ULTRAMAN KIDS 3000 (originally titled “Ultraman Kids: 3000 Light Years in Search of Mother”), and the parody classics ULTRAMAN ZEARTH 1 & 2 (1996/97).
Can’t wait!

Happy 48th anniversary to the original GODZILLA VS. MECHAGODZILLA, which hit theaters this day in 1974!
With its explosive action and swing-filled soundtrack, the penultimate Showa-series entry remains a colorful and epic kaiju classic.
Happy b-day to the Space Titanium Terror!
The new Ultimate #Godzilla 1989 figure from @super7store has been revealed, and HOLY COW, he’s not alone! 😱 🌹
MYSTERY SOLVED!
The artist is 怪獣一直線, and their work can be found on Pixiv. (More crazy examples below.)
HUGE thanks to @EditSutton for tracking down this super-talented artist and helping me give credit where credit is due!

As mentioned above, the @RondoAwards do accept write-ins and always encourage voters to tell them about creators that might’ve been overlooked.

I’m nominating @kaiju_ramen:
#Godzilla fans ate well this year.
From an explosive cinema-reaffirming blockbuster and a high-concept anime to a gorgeously directed theme park ride and a nostalgic tokusatsu-driven short film, 2021 was OWNED by the King of the Monsters.
There’s so much to be thankful for.
