(Long time no see.) Gigan! He thinks he's the best. Megalon! He's just here to have fun. I'm starting to think this isn't a fair fight... Gigan has left Megalon to the wolves...again. His poor little horn... It's not easy being a bug in a lizard's world. "You jerk!" He doesn't like you bro, just give up. Always leaving poor Megalon alone... (Who's dog is this?) It's cozy, although they don't really clean up much. (That must be the world's largest popcorn.) Does he feel bad? Or does he want peace
and quiet? He's a bit of a crybaby, when it comes to giant monsters. A Kaiju with a boss? Gigan must have made some poor life decisions. He's failed to kill Godzilla one too many times. "Where I'm from, humans kiss the ground I walk on." (Environmental story-telling. Advanced stuff.) In his old age, he needs a lift to outerspace. It almost makes you feel bad for him. He never had a mom to tell him "Not so close to the TV!" What a miserable beast. At least he has a nice recliner. "KING GHIDORAH
WANTS TO HANG OUT WITH ME!" (If there are any typos in this, pretend there aren't.) Megalon is just glad to be included. As you can see, Gigan is loved and respected by all. It's a Monster-Bar! (They're not on good terms.) Orga, loved by none. He's thinking about changing his major to bullying Preteens instead of Children. (Hey, remember these guys?) (And this guy?) Someone has bought Titano a fancy drink. Lowering your standards isn’t really a concept understood by someone who wants to take ove
r earth. (I didn't know he was chill like that.) They seem well taken care of. It's your bestie, Gigan! Not good enough anymore...? Usually Gigan is able to run away before he's humiliated. (A Gigan Rex cameo?) "Look how cool I was! I mean- am!" (Are we sure that's how it went?) Yep, Gigan is the coolest. I'm convinced. The elevator to his crappy boss... (Screw this guy in particular.) Something has to change. A lovely drawing of some ugly creature. (Why do I hear 90's chiptunes?) He's too cool.
At least to Megalon. So fancy. So detailed. This guy steals candy from babies! (Even Megalon thinks that's a bit much.) It seems like he wants his picture taken. (That's a little much, don't you think?) Is he cool? Or is he faking it? Ghidorah thinks bugs are super lame. (It's ok, Megalon. I still think you're cool.) He has a type. Only the coolest may enter. "No thanks..." Is he cool enough to get in here? Or did he come in the back door? I always keep my goop projector on me. (That was too de
ep for me to truly comprehend.) Not enough giant monsters fighting. 0/10. "My brother always cheers me up." Well, that's just plain rude. Gigan is starting to regret his life decisions...more so. "Are these guys actually cool?" "I'm starting to think they're just a bunch of #%!-holes." Gigan isn't used to being the quietest in the room. Oh...? Someone else is here..? They're just now noticing the dark evil ominous corner. (He's too scary. I'm leaving now.) "Get this early 2000's chump out of her
e." Even when he's gone, he leaves a lasting impression. Even when life is hard, there are still cool bugs to look at. Megalon has about a dozen similar notes at this point. Still, they have been through a lot together. The shenanigans and hijinks live another day! That's the world's largest metal chair. Remember to check out the Patron so the animator can buy snacks.

Biollante not being able to make friends due to having a poor understanding of the monster language is so sad, doesn't help that her origin and very existence is already sad enough. I hope she gets her own episode at some point. Also Destoroyah smoking a joint goes hard af
You know, after reading Baragon and Biollante's bios, I feel like they may be a good pair-up for an episode. Considering your version of Baragon is almost like a giant puppy, he'd probably be the only kaiju that wouldn't be put off by Biollante; it would be pretty funny and cute to see Baragon trying to be friends with Biollante and her not knowing what to do with him due to him not running away from her like everyone else. Just a potential concept for another episode.
I love how Hedorah was portrayed as this weirdo, artsy film student, especially when you consider how much of an experimental fever dream Godzilla Vs Hedorah is
Gigan and Megalon as buddies and housemates is one of the most endearing concepts I've seen. Love the conclusion and Gigan's acceptance that being a B-Movie monster is no bad thing. Would love to see more of this duo in the near future. Top marks
6:31 He did the double take and smirked even more confident than the first time😂❤
Fun fact that is actually fun: Megalon and Destoroyah are actually best friends according to the Godzilla Island show. They met each other in prison and were allies for the rest of the series
6:38 Well, to his credit, he knew what he wanted and didn't back down immediately.
I like how Biollante is not changed to look cuter at all. There’s nothing you can do to change how horrifying Biollante is
How sad that Gigan is not recognized as a Big Bad here. For all intent and purpose, he should be, he was the first monster to make Godzilla bleed in the films.
“Even when life is hard, there are still cool bugs to look at” Those are words to live by
I just love how you've established the monsters' personalities and the world they live in. Based on the intermission, I hope you will give Biollante the spotlight, and hopefully flesh her out some more. She was a monster I was afraid of, but always felt some sympathy.
I love how gigan is portrayed as a middle aged man. My respect for him has grown
Destoroyah is legit terrifying in this. Gigan made the right choice
11:04 I love Kevin's expression of sheer confusion
As someone who has loved Gigan since I was a kid, I absolutely love his portrayal here! A bad guy that isn’t “bad” per say but really just a dork who tries his hardest to fit in and gets in trouble with his friend! It fits surprisingly well, you’ve done well by Gigan and I certainly have a newfound appreciation for Megalon too, he’s adorable!
9:46 Mothra looks like she's two seconds away from just calling Leo in to deal with this BS
I absolutely love this series. The thought of all the kaiju living in a community living their own lives is very entertaining.
I just finished watching Godzilla vs Gigan for the first time and felt compelled to rewatch this. This is my favorite of your Goji animations!! The Plok theme feels like it was MADE for that Gigan Millenium sequence lol. So good 🌟
You encapsulated Gigan’s “Starscream energy” perfectly. My hat goes off to you.
I'm a big-time Megalon supporter, and I cannot express how happy this made me! He's just a fun little fella!
