/jp/ - Otaku Culture

>>11471802
sup new /b/
my favorite kaiju is naturo

Mine is Mothra.

Favorite movie is Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla.

>>11471802
king ghidora and destroyah but my favorite is probably the original just because it was the one that was shown to me first, I had an amazing grandfather that started me on Godzilla

Posting the best.

Daimajin.

>>11472036
careful buddy, thats "mecha"godzilla

easy question op. favorite movie is probably DAM

mothra tho

Pacific Rim.

Are kaiju part of otaku culture? If they are then why will this thread be deleted? Also, they count as "weaponized."

>>11475719
I liked it too.

>>11475755
I'm pretty sure Kaiju count.

Also, my favorites are Mecha King Ghidorah, Hedorah, and Mothra.

is shadow of the colossus counted as kaiju?

Wait, now /m/ is here too?

>>11475992
/jp/ is the new /b/
everyone goes to and pretends to hate /b/, no one admits it

Gojira is my favorite. The classic

>>11475719
>>11475894

I'm kind of bummed. After I finally got the resolve to go see it in theaters, it was no longer being shown. I settled for Elysium instead

Elysium kind of sucked. I guess that's what I get for going outside, though..

>>11476119
Did you go by yourself?

>>11476148

No, it was part of a visit I made to my family over the weekend. I went to go see it with my brother and his wife

Even if the movie wasn't very good, it was fun hanging out with them

>>11476178
i haven't went to see a movie ever since that /jp/ movie outing to see drive

>>11471802
That chart seems inaccurate as fuck outside ghidorah and godzillla.

>>11476233
I think Ghidora looks too big there as well.
And I'm not an expert on this, but I just watched the first few movies a few days ago and I' pretty sure they said Godzilla should be about 50m. Though I guess they're never really that consistant there anyway.

2014 the king will return

>>11476233
Yeah seriously they're all roughly Gozilla's size except for Ghidorah who is somewhat larger

>>11471802
The Capitol building is a kaiju? This explains so much!

Kaijin > Kaiju
Some kaijin even become kaiju. They get the best of both worlds!

>>11475755
Toho makes Kaiju movies, therefore it's /jp/ related

Shit I can't pick, I love Ghidra, and Anguiris but vs Destroyah is my favorite movie

>>11475719
I liked it. The romance in it was dumb though.

why did nobody talk about godzilla monsters until pacific rim came out?

Look at what we have here.

>>11491318
You new to /jp/? That kaiju fag was always here and being told to go to /m/ or /tv/.

Gamera.

>>11496884
Holy hell. I'm so excited

Rodan. He's just a big scaly bird thing

>>11496884
What a shitty roar, a Godzilla film with a roar like that can''t be a good movie.
At least the premise doesn't look that bad.

>>11496884
Pretty shocking.
Reminds me of how I never understood the original transition of Godzila from destroyer to defender of Japan from the other monsters. Anyone mind explaining that to me? Bigger badder monsters coming to destroy Japan, so he decides to stop them?

Everyone knows that Godzila represents the atomic bomb, so I am thinking his defence of Japan is suppose to be the transtion of America as destroyer to becoming Japan's Ally. The first Godzila was dramatic and at one point horrofying, because the people could only see the bomb in his rampage, but the whole series became rather goofy and silly. I suppose the large Si-Fi influence is what I am talking about. It became a novilty series instead of leaving it as a single movie masterpeice reflecting the horrors Japan faced in the quake of being nuked.

>>11498107
The series became popular with children so they turned him into a hero because he's more marketable that way.

>>11498139
Makes sense. Do you think that was somewhat pushed onto the director from the studios at the time? He did after all go on to create Ultra Q wherr his priducers forced him to create a new monster of the week in every episode instead of allowing him to focus more on his original concept of si-fi like detectives of Japan taking on the super natural cases they're hired for. He made Ultra man afterwords too with countless other films and sentai.

>>11475719
I found Pacific Rim a little disappointing. I really wanted to like it, and it's a visual miracle, but I wanted a more emotionally-charged story.

>>11502850
Everything I thought of the film here.

>>11502859
>8 tabs of Yugioh

King Caesar best king best kaiju

>>11503378
You mad?

>>11475755
DaiKaiju/Toho SFX Otaku are one of the founding groups of Otaku culture. In

>>11498107
Remember that one Godzilla film from the early 1990s when he actually helps IJA soldiers defend an island from the Americans during the Pacific War? Explain THAT shit.

>>11471802
Since when was Gigan that tiny?

>>11506421
I was just theorizing. I said I was confused anon hmha. It's just weird to me. Please look at this post and confirm or whatever the other opposite word is on my post here >>11498215

Pacific Rim is the shit. Don't believe Japanese people and their self-shaming bullshit, they just don't want the world to know they're sexual deviants.

>>11507168
Your post was off the wall.
>they just don't want the world to know their sexual deviance
How on earth did you get this from Pacific Rim, a steryo typing muh multicultualism movie made by gaijin otaku Deltoro who knows really nothing about Japan?

>>11507168
Is that the American Plugsuit™? How does it feel when you're wearing one?

>>11508072
At one point Hollywood was going to do a live action Eva movie. I think they opted for PR though. Either way America can't ever do Kiaju right it seems like.

>>11508105
Pacific Rim originally started as said live action Eva movie, or at least based on its script. It was released akin to a western superhero theatrical experience (like Iron Man and such) probably because they saw where the money was at and there was no reason not to play it safe while having a nice budget to work with.

Though I wouldn't really know, I'm just assuming, having not watched it yet. Maybe it goes all psycho and stuff as its about to end.

>>11508229
Nope. It doesn't. No dark struggle plaging the hearts of man and the dark plans of a small militart to bring fourth the appocolypse. Nothing edgy. Really just one of the worst movies he has ever made. All the CGI bullshit took away so much of what he had accomplished in his other work that was artiatic and well made in terms of plot, script, and character development.

Deltora was a director I could look up to in what he made happen in movies with the meaningful messages. Thia was nothing like the new Godzila movie coming out. It was a MAKE EM BIG MAKE BIG MONEY movie. The movie was comparible to something cruddy michale bay makes, that being cinimatic garbage only the current hollywood could release. They even had "Difirent Demensional beings". Gosh hollywood and "Muh Aliens!" again.

>>11508438
>whining and bitching
>edgy youth
>on a 2~4 hour film

For what purpose.

>>11508504
What? I was critequing the film.

>>11508438

Not every film has to be some deep, convoluted masterpiece of art. It was a lite action flick with splashy special effects and some great mech-on-kaiju action. Pretty good for what it was, I thought.

>>11517059
When you make a name for yourself, fans expect a certain minimum level of quality.

>>11517059
Like what >>11517093 said. Yes I enjoyed the action, but everything he said about his own movie "Revive adventure films with real heros". What bull. For it being a mecha film it certianly had a terrible premise with really not a lot of mechs featured.

bull fucking shit

Del Taco is a huge fan of old school mecha anime and kaiju films, he made Pacific Rim as a homage to those stories.

Apart from the plug suits filled with tang Pacific Rim has fuck all to do with NGE.

Also Del Toro told the actress who played child Mako to call him "Del Totoro." Isn't that kawaii?

I really fucking love the Pacific Rim main theme.

Also some cable channel was playing a bunch of old Godzilla movies the other day but after I recorded all of them I realized they were all dubs. What the shit man.

There's nothing more awkward than watching a live action dub.

>>11476005
>everyone goes to and pretends to hate /b/, no one admits it
Are you serious? Is this a common occurance? I've only ever been to /b/ just to see what it's like maybe once or twice, and I never went back.

that chart reminds me of the beta strains size comparative charts

>>11525608
Pls respond

>>11525726
No its pathetic. Hes obviously a pedophile and to treat that girl as some toy fetish of his fantasy makes me want to vomit. Deltoro you surly are a looser taking off your mask the way you did.

The other thing is that I think he was saying the studios had wanted it to be eva, but when deltoro came to them with his own idea and script they oppted and settled with PR instead of an eva movie.

Post more weebs

Cinemassacre's Monster Madness has been about Gamera the past few days.

I really like Gamera.

The Big G

These special effects are awful even for the time they were made.

>search "kaiju" on google for some kewl godzilla pictures
>get pacific shit crap

Fuck you del Toro.

Space Godzilla. Now I know people hate him because he's just an edgier godzilla from outer space but, c'mon he's kinda cool looking.

>>11535475
I don't think this is true.

>>11507168
I saw this movie recently.
It was so full of plot holes and shit I could not stop complaining.
Main aspect of that is MCs jaeger.
At one point it uses diesel engines and has fuel that is leaking at the next it is nuclear and this contradiction happens several times.
Also it is analog, really they want me to believe their fancy head up display, holographs and neural linking is entirely analog, even the fucking nuclear reactor is entirely made analog.

>>11539670
>analog
I don't know what that is. Yeah not a good movie.

>>11539754
"Not digital"

>>11539764
oh wow.
Than even more terrible directing and script.

>>11535632
I liked a lot about Pacific Rim, but the kaiju designs were really lame. They all had that same basic look. None of them really looked very unique.

>>11525608
I think I liked the music. I should continue watching it, no idea why I dropped.

>>11539670
del toro was so obsessed with robots punching monsters that he forgot that plot was a thing

>>11550142
Compare everthing hes done before Pacific Rim and then Paxific Rim and you will think its a different person directing it. It was so Hollywood that I don't even know who Del Toro is anymore. Him show boating his pedophilism around the Japaneae media and Yellow Japanese fever, not to mention making a bafoon of himself going ariund Japanese TV buying Otaku crud. He has no idea what Japan is and was still cleared for luanch in being the cross-cultural researcher authority in Paxific Rim. The amount of Austism he dsplayed was truly shameful (Shamfur Dispray Toro-san).
