Also, it just dawned on me that I never posted them all here. I had originally wanted to share the art as I had the stories finished, but then the news of Gamera: Rebirth came about, and…yeah, just couldn’t wait.
NONE of you in all these years were gonna tell me about a moment in “Franklin” where he hallucinates evil kaiju from Gamera??!
You’re not kidding, those are clearly the ghosts of Barugon, Viras, Gyaos, and Jiger.
…fanfic idea: something something “ghosts of kaiju past”
So did Gamera fight off the “skeletonizer ray” or did he regenerate here?
Youre missing the real important bit here…
Ass Blast
Gamera vs Viras is underrated
I actually find the parts that aren’t stock footage in Gamera vs Viras to be some of the most fun and creative parts of the series. Opening with a battle in space between Gamera and a spaceship was cool. And it was interesting seeing Gamera acting like an unreasonable destroyer making a pre-emptive attack on aliens that he has no way of knowing are invaders, in a way that mimicked the cinematography of his first film as a villain where he burned a whole room of dancers alive.
Gamera is really a pretty morally ambiguous monster despite him becoming friendly to humanity, he’s. But since he’s a giant turtle you can’t really expect him to know right from wrong.
I just wish we didn’t have the most awful kids in this one. They did win back some points when telling the military to just shoot them along with the aliens being willing to die.
Unknown Zigra source. Low quality scan.
But a computer system complete with Tape reel-system that controls weapons.
Zigra, despite never showing this in the film also apparently can produce living projectiles shaped like himself; mini-me bombs. Unintentionally predicting many videogame bosses in the following decades
Zigra’s biomechanical nature is amazingly imaginative for this time period
Does explain why other anatomy books give him a stomach just for digesting humans: he must have had that added when coming to Earth because he’s a sick freak…
Probably has a video camera in there.
Disgusting.
I’ve only ever seen the dub, but I still get the vibe that Zigra is the exact kind of sicko that would modify his body with a separate stomach for sapient victims and a camera to monitor their digestion.
AUDIO! ON!

Video description: a child in pajamas is laying on top of several low shelves, which are covered in a mat and blanket. It is situated in front of a window front, and the sun shines through. There are seven cats in various positions on top of the child, one of them resting between their arms. Extremely loud purring is audible. End video description
