@MyKaiju@wadakow1962@RCT3Crashes100 came up with the interpretation that it's "NARUKAMI" (鳴神=雷神), which I could also see. It'd be nice parity with the Shinden (震電).
@Plasmili0 The thing is, this is basically the same if not more generous than -1.0's marketing cycle. Nothing was shown of -1.0 till July and the trailer was in September. This time we got a first look in April and another teaser in July, so probably trailer in September.
@Gei4Mei Do the QR codes on those Godzillas work? Supposedly they unlock videos, but the codes on the promo images just take you to the https://t.co/nxZpLATlNF splash page.
@pasinpasin@P6classic handles Japanese distribution of IDW's comics, but they haven't announced any from this new Kai-Sei (怪精) universe yet. Hopefully you guys get to read them soon!
@ryuuseipro Nothing against you, but I'd love to know why this circulates as a sci-fi. It's absolutely not; it's just about a murderer who drugs people with mescaline. Even the hallucinations are not trying to be fantastical, as the movie credits a "mescaline hallucination researcher".
@anon54980 If nothing else, it's pretty cool that all of them besides Kamiya are from the new generation of directors. You're pretty much looking at the future of tokusatsu, so long as it lasts.
@pgalvan91 Have you seen Pyrokinesis/Crossfire? I'm not well acquainted with his other work but that's one of the few I've seen. I thought it was a cool little thing for what it was.
@CasualRonin@RickDaSquirrel_ This is not true. Man-Nen-Sha hasn't existed since 1999 and the copyright on the DVDs is solely to Toho Eizo Bijutsu. Maybe the fact that it's owned by a Toho subsidiary instead of the head office complicates things, but surely not that much.
