Episode 6: Enfatico

Anguirus did nothing wrong.

With that out of the way, is it bad that the first half of this episode immediately brought to mind the "everything is connected" meme?

Because this episode ups the analytical ante by involving not just the science of alternate realities, but also the word of creative writing, religion, and even straight up magic is mentioned at one point.

And while it is quite alot of words, the gist of it all is that the Kaiju might be appearing in "our" world due to humanity tampering with forces it was never meant to. Which, ya know, does fit in with a handful of Godzilla movies, despite being a bit of a movie cliche.

The second half of the episode has to do with the fight against Anguirus, and while it is choreographed nicely enough, again, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the thing. I feel like the show made it a bit too "real world animal"-like for me to not. For example, while I get that the intended idea of it pushing Jet Jaguar around was likely meant as a way of Anguirus "playing with its food" the way its animated and also how it just leaves Jaguar alone more came across to me like a pet playing with a ball.

But that aside, while I've already noted the brass iron balls on the Otoki Crew, I do wanna give a special mention to Goro, who is very much a more light-hearted and kinda comedic character, but yet he never actually ruins the overall vibe of the show. Sure, he's not exactly knee-slappingly funny or anything, but I also can't really help but get a smile on my face whenever he's around doing his thing. It's a nice little bit of levity from all the more dramatic science talk.

Two Kaiju down. Two more to go?
