Viewing Notes
From NWI I rewatched Motoyoshi Oda’s Godzilla Raids Again (1955). This is the red-headed stepchild of the early Gojira films as it was later released in the US in 1959 as Gigantis the Fire Monster in a bastardized form. G takes on Anguirus here marking the first big screen kaiju battle. Not the greatest Godzilla film it’s still quite good and deserves more recognition.
