Kaiju Appreciations; Kiryu (Re-Upload)

May 11, 2022May 11, 2022 / DBreitenbeck / Leave a comment

I made an appreciation for Kiryu, the third incarnation of Mechagodzilla...wow, seven years ago. It got hit with a copyright claim that led to the audio being muted, and, to my shame, I've only just gotten around to re-uploading it (partly I didn't want to just do a re-upload when I was behind on new … Continue reading Kaiju Appreciations; Kiryu (Re-Upload)

Kaiju Appreciations; Zigra

May 7, 2022May 7, 2022 / DBreitenbeck / 2 Comments

My latest appreciation video is up at last. This was kind of a tricky one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFum3UHzhCY I haven't done a full survey, but at the moment I want to call Gamera vs. Zigra the worst kaiju film to come out of either Toho or Daiei (well, Gamera Supermonster might top it from being mostly just … Continue reading Kaiju Appreciations; Zigra

Kaiju Appreciations: Iris (Updated)

January 9, 2022January 9, 2022 / DBreitenbeck / Leave a comment

My latest appreciation video is now up. This one's a remake of the very first one, a tribute to Gamera's most vile and sinister opponent, Iris. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrHXCS9KQSo Iris is a very interesting figure among the kaiju. He's pretty clearly based on Viras from the Showa Gamera films - an alien squid monster - but they … Continue reading Kaiju Appreciations: Iris (Updated)

Kaiju Appreciations; Dagahra

October 15, 2021 / DBreitenbeck / Leave a comment

Managed to get another appreciation video up. This one is for Dagahra, the villainous sea dragon of Rebirth of Mothra II, the second film of the Mothra trilogy from the late 1990s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guiwpysUwOk Dagahra’s story is that he was created by an ancient civilization called Nilai Kinai to clean up the pollution they had put … Continue reading Kaiju Appreciations; Dagahra

Kaiju Appreciation: Sanda & Gaira

June 10, 2021 / DBreitenbeck / 1 Comment

For those who don't know, one of my hobbies is editing together music videos, particularly ones celebrating the various Godzilla and other Toho characters. My latest one (first in nearly a year for one reason or another) is for Sanda & Gaira, the gargantua brothers from War of the Gargantuas. For those unfamiliar with Kaiju … Continue reading Kaiju Appreciation: Sanda & Gaira

Kaiju Appreciations; Kamacuras

June 28, 2020June 28, 2020 / DBreitenbeck / Leave a comment

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiHqBcKPYmY One of my hobbies is making music videos out of songs and film clips (though between one thing or another it's been a long time since I've actually completed one). In particular, I've been working my way through a series of tribute or 'appreciation' videos for the various Toho Kaiju ever since my college … Continue reading Kaiju Appreciations; Kamacuras

Kaiju Appreciations; Ebirah

August 9, 2019 / DBreitenbeck / 2 Comments

It's been a long time since I've put one of these together (over a year, in fact...that's dispiriting), mostly due to trouble finding the right songs and generally being busy. But I happened to hit upon the right one, so Ebirah is up at last! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M53AhvKa1sc&feature=youtu.be

New Appreciation Video Up!

May 12, 2018 / DBreitenbeck / Leave a comment

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoiMd6pQ1qQ Yeah, it's for perhaps the lamest kaiju character in the whole series, but it had to be done.

New Appreciation Video Up

December 16, 2017 / DBreitenbeck / Leave a comment

For those just joining us, one of my hobbies is video editing, and for several years I've been slowly making a series of music video tributes to each of the Godzilla and Gamera kaiju. Just finished and uploaded my latest, for Barugon: Gamera's first foe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Uquy94-7EE

Kaiju Appreciations; Hedorah (commentary)

December 15, 2015 / DBreitenbeck / Leave a comment

So, my next Kaiju Appreciation turned out to be Hedorah, the Smog Monster. It's a little surprising, since Hedorah is one of those characters that I tend to forget about, despite his comparative popularity. Probably because he's only really in one movie, and it's one of the worst of the series (his only other appearance … Continue reading Kaiju Appreciations; Hedorah (commentary)
