Best Anime Coming to Netflix in 2019
Godzilla: Planet Eater (Air Date: Jan. 9, 2019)
The thrilling conclusion to the trilogy of animated Godzilla films available on Netflix, Godzilla: Planet Eater sees the stakes higher than they’ve ever been for humanity and Godzilla alike.
Following the destruction of Mechagodzilla city, Haruo and the rest of the city’s survivors find themselves split on what to do next. Some wish to establish some form of peaceful existence on earth, while others believe they can find some way to defeat Godzilla once and for all with the use of Mechagodzilla’s remnants.
This all comes to a head when Ghidorah, an ancient god said to be even more powerful than Godzilla, is summoned to earth by an alien race aiding the humans, sparking a world ending battle between the two beasts. The winner could prove to be a new savior for humanity… or an even worse threat.
While the trilogy has had its missteps, Planet Eater looks to have learned from these mistakes. The visuals are at the top of their game, and the story looks to be poised for a climactic conclusion to the darker take on the Godzilla mythos established by the films.
