The first of the anime Godzilla trilogy, Planet of the Monsters set the stage for Godzilla as humanity’s greatest threat and enemy. Opting for a classic design familiar to most fans of the franchise, the animated teams behind the movie, Polygon Pictures and Toho Animations, did an outstanding job in bringing the king of monsters to life.

At the end of the 20th Century, monsters arise and fight for dominance on the Earth’s surface, pushing humanity to the brink of extinction. After a failed attempt to take down Godzilla, humanity is left with no choice but to flee Earth, but when the chosen planet to colonize is uninhabitable, the remaining human survivors are left with no choice but to return to Earth and reclaim it from Godzilla. 20,000 years have passed on Earth, and the presence of Godzilla has drastically changed the planet, making it more dangerous than ever before.
