7:34 that really hit... For people who don't know. In the original " rodan" of 1956 there were two of them, a male and female. However at the end of the movie, the female is stuck because of the flames of an active volcano. The male try to save her but unfortunatly he fails, and both of them perish in the volcano. A third rodan will then appears, the rodan we all know. The last of his kind.... But now he is not alone anymore ❤️
something i absolutely ADORE about how Rodan acts here is how he occasionally behaves like a real bird. him flipping his neck back and clicking his beak like a crane when his egg hatches and hunting fish in a similar way to a black heron are such awesome little details
Rodan is my favorite kaiju, and I think this is beautiful.
Love what a grouchy loner Godzilla is compared to his kid. this is honestly a breath of fresh air as far as fan animations in the community goes. a cute slice of life on monster island. absolutely love what an enthusiastic and proud parent Rodan is.
I just got to say "Ghidorah the Three Headed Monster" being described as that time a worm, a teenager, and an old man saved the world is something I didn't know I needed in my life. Thank you!
The fandom (and actually most of the films) often make a point of portraying Rodan as... Let's just say a jerk, so seeing him as a legitimately good guy and still having that feel completely in character is honestly heartwarming. God(zilla) bless the pterodactyl dad.
12:25 “Godzilla Jr. didn’t know they made Rodans this small” Neither did I
If Toho doesn't hire you to be their animator, we will. Thanks for making such an amazing animated series.
I love the detail of Rodan clicking his beak when he’s happy or excited, as I believe that’s a thing birds and most likely pterosaurs used to do to express their emotions.
The fact this man taking notes and goes out to seek help shows how good of dad Rodan is.
7:25 I know this is probably Rodan's own egg from which he hatched from, turned into a grave/homage for his parents, perhaps. But later when he visits Mothra and it said that he has done this all before, I wonder if it's an egg he once had and it did not have life in it. Anyways, it's heartbreaking to see.
I love how you gave rodan traits of a heron, using its wing as shade ro attract fish under it, him using his beak to make noise and express himself, I love it!
Mothra just being everyone's mother figure unless they have an actual mom is very fitting
"Somewhere in the stars, his family is just as proud." this actually hits hard if you watched the original Rodan movie
Bro is just casually dropping an above TV quality cartoon about kaiju on YouTube.
The subtle ques of Rodan looking back at his home and the background motions of gathering the flowers for a later emotional reveal really show a talent and skill in story telling as well as animation
Absolutely love how Showa Rodan is the dad, and Heisei Rodan is the mum. Stellar content, keep 'em coming. Please oh please make more.
THIS CHAPTER IS GLORIOUS, I loved its narrative, the backgrounds used, the details, the colors, and the plot of the baby Rodan, it was worth the wait. each animation is better in detail, drawing, easter eggs, story, EVERYTHING
Just about 2AM and crying over Rodan being a fretful and mourning daddy-to-be. This is so freaking well done, good grief-!!!
