Gojira 2

#### History of the series (Millennium series)

The Godzilla movie was resumed in the 1999 23rd film " Godzilla 2000 Millennium ". This work resets the world view for the second time. No episodes of the past have been told except the first, and Godzilla was set as a threat to civilization as well as natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons .

Part of this series reflects the worldview of the first film and other Toho special effects works. However, compared to the Heisei Godzilla series, which has maintained a relatively high audience mobilization of 2 to 4 million, this series has decreased significantly from 1 to 2 million. Therefore, like the Heisei Godzilla series, it has become the re-appearance route of popular monsters such as Mothra , King Ghidorah , and Mechagodzilla . From 2001 to 2003, it will be screened together with " Tottoko Hamtaro ", and as a result, the 26th work " Godzilla x Mechagodzilla " and the 27th work " Godzilla x Mothra x Mechagodzilla Tokyo SOS " are more than usual. The show time has been shortened by about 15 minutes.

In 2003, "Godzilla x Mothra x Mechagodzilla Tokyo SOS" recorded 1.1 million people, the worst third place at that time (currently the worst fourth place). It is difficult to produce a truly new "Godzilla movie" aimed at the production side with the technology of those days  , and the best "Godzilla movie" that will be the culmination of the series in 2004, which is the turning point of Godzilla's 50th anniversary, is completed will be referred to as wax  , the 28th installment of the same year published " Godzilla FINAL WARS Godzilla series will end again in" Godzilla series, Toho is to produce will be be interrupted for more than 10 years  . Kumi Mizuno and Kenji Sahara, who have made many appearances in the Godzilla series, commented in the pamphlet of " FINAL WARS" that they still want to appear in the Godzilla series.

#### Features of the series (Millennium series)

Like the Heisei Godzilla series, the Millennium series is released as a New Year movie every year. With the exception of the relationship between "Godzilla x Mechagodzilla" and "Godzilla x Mothra x Mechagodzilla Tokyo SOS", there is no continuity in the story or worldview from the previous year's work.

A feature of the Millennium Series is the heavy use of CG . However, like the Heisei Godzilla series, there are few depictions in which monsters often use ray techniques, and special-effects cutting focused on actions by suit actors and wire actions. The size of the monster has been reduced from 100 meters of the VS series to 50 to 60 meters, which is close to the Showa series (only "Godzilla FINAL WARS" has been restored to 100 meters). The miniature scale has also been increased from 1/50 to 1/25, making it more precise. This series consists of three works, "Godzilla x Megagilas G Disappearance Operation", "Godzilla x Mechagodzilla", "Godzilla x Mothra x Mechagodzilla Tokyo SOS". Incorporates a fight setting. In the series after "Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters Total Attack", the title of the special skill director, which was customary in Toho special effects movies after " Godzilla's Counterattack ", became "Special Technology".
