When the six-episode Gamera -Rebirth- anime premieres this year it will pit our titular kaiju hero against five other kaiju, including Gyaos, Jiger, Zigra and, as revealed in the latest update, Guiron. The monster and its massive bladed head originally took on Gamera in 1969’s Gamera vs. Guiron, and now you can see it again thanks to the anime’s fourth kaiju visual.
The CG-animated series will premiere on Netflix sometime in 2023. Here’s the official description:
The last summer. Friends. And Kaiju–. In the summer of 1989, Boko, Joe, and Junichi, all sixth grade elementary school students, were having their last summer vacation. Each of them is worried about their future. Brody, the son of a US military commander, appears before the three of them and steals away the money they have saved together. Boko and his friends are furious and plan a plan to get their money back. As they are about to carry out the plan, the town is threatened. The kaiju Gyaos suddenly attacks Tokyo. The four are petrified in a town ruined by Gyaos. As Gyaos sets its sights on them, a huge kaiju appears. Its name is Gamera. This is the beginning of their “Summer of Kaiju.” Kaiju appear one after another, and Gamera fights back despite his wounds. The boys witness the legend.
