Just watched this kino and it was kind of a work of art in some aspects, my exposure to Godzilla had been kinda limited before this (watched one of the OG Japanese movies at a friends house when I was like 8, and only saw the Rolan Emmerich film and its Fox Kids animated series based on said film beforehand) and it kinda blew me away despite its few shortcomings, I liked how Godzilla here was treated as some biological body horror anomaly rather than some "giant god lizard detected, hit it with missiles STAT, think about the destruction later" with all the government bodies deciding what to do.
Any of the other "Shin" movies worth watching? I did watch some episodes of Ultraman when it aired here on Fox Box (yes it was dubbed by 4kids I'm not even hiding that). I'm also open to whatever other Godzilla movies you fellas wanna recommend.

I went to see it at the theater again last time and had forgotten how hilarious the bureaucracy scenes were.

Shin Ultraman is pretty much Anno's unofficial sequel to Shin Godzilla, even having one returning character (the prime minister's aide, Hideki Akasaka) and some dialogue referencing Godzilla's events in very vague lines. That said, it has a rather odd pacing because in spite of being a movie it tries to mimic the structure of a tv show.Shin Kamen Rider is kind of hard to recommend because, even though it's a reboot from zero, Anno still basically seems to assume the audience knows the original Kamen Rider in general lines already, and rushes things a lot in the beginning of the movie (and the rest of the movie is still fast paced, while also having the same oddity of Shin Ultraman of being a movie trying to simulate episode breaks).

I'd recommend Godzilla Minus One, like Shin its very highly regarded and very well made.

If you appreciated Shin Godzilla feeling artistic for its underlying message, you'll probably appreciate the original 1954 Godzilla with subtitles. The 1956 English version has Raymond Burr's character exposit over and speed through several of the most important and emotional scenes in the movie, so it's best avoided if you have access to the subtitled original. The first film has a real message and emphasizes the human suffering, whereas most of the subsequent films are overly (if not entirely) focused on the kaiju aspect.

I still hold Shin Godzilla very close to my heart. There was a small part of me that was a little disappointed seeing how much international acclaim Minus 1 got in comparison, when in my mind, Shin was much better. But I guess the heavier politicking and themes aren't the average joe's cup of tea

I'm so happy when other people appreciate Shin Godzilla, it's such a special movie for me. ShinGoji is a really fascinating, frightening and weirdly endearing creature. All those explanations and questions raised about it were pretty immersive. It's tragedy makes me feel really sorry, it's potential to keep painfully deforming into something more threatening sent shivers dow my spine.
Now watch Minus One, Godzilla 54, Return of Godzilla, VS Biollante, VS Destoroyah, Millenium, 2000 and Heisei Gamera.

Very based of you to post a positive thread on 4chan, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I really think this website promotes jadedness and negativity, and it genuinely shocks me when I see an OP who said they liked something and why.
That's kind of why most threads start neutral, "so what did I think about blank" or "did YOU watch blank", people are genuinely scared to get called stupid for liking things online
I also enjoy shin Godzilla, has one of the best "apocalypse" or mass destruction scenes I've ever seen, I can't think of much that can top it, I'm partial to threads but it's not even close.

The tail still freaks me out and I still wanna know what would happen in a sequel featuring them.

I remember the first time I read the modern use of the word "kino" was a post here, saying Shin Godzilla was going to be kino, when the trailer released, so I guess 2015 or 2016? The internet has been using kino for over 10 years now.
But yeah Shin Godzilla is kino.

It’s the best of all Shin movies by a mile. Just watch Minus One
