The kaiju known as Gamera is coming back to life with Gamera: Rebirth, a brand new six episode anime series that’s coming soon to Netflix. Today the official teaser trailer has been unleashed, teasing that within those six episodes, Gamera will be battling FIVE different Kaiju!
One of those beasts is Gyaos, whose appearance is previewed in an official poster as well.
Check out the Gamera: Rebirth teaser and poster art below.
The project’s official Twitter bio states, “From the Showa era to the Heisei era, the production of the new work “GAMERA -Rebirth” of the giant monster Gamera that has been loved by monster fans all over the world has been decided! Global distribution on Netflix!”
Director Mr. Shusuke Kaneko said in a statement, “When I came up with my own idea for Reiwa Gamera and made a proposal, KADOKAWA has already started a new project, and it’s content that makes me think that’s what happened, so I can expect this too. With that in mind, I would like to support the team from the position of a baseball commentator who has experience as a manager of the Gamera team until they win the championship and pitch again.”
Wikipedia reminds, “Gamera debuted in the 1965 film Gamera, the Giant Monster. The character and the first film were intended to compete with the success of Toho’s Godzilla film series. Since then, Gamera has become a Japanese icon in his own right, appearing in a total of 12 films produced by Daiei Film and later Kadokawa Daiei Studio, and various media.”
Mutated by exposure to nuclear weapons, Gamera is a fire-breathing, prehistoric turtle monster. Get a sneak peek at Gamera’s upcoming return with the first teaser marketing below.
