Why I Am Excited for Netflix's Godzilla

Netflix will be releasing a new Godzilla anime in 2021 called Godzilla Singular Point. They released a teaser trailer for the anime two days ago and I will say that it is amazing.

In this trailer, you see a sneak peek of a variety of Godzilla's rogues gallery and notable characters. These include Rodan, Anguirus, Gabera, Jet Jaguar, and possibly Titanosaurus. What is really cool about this selection of characters, is that aside from Rodan, the other characters are fairly unknown and under the radar. Each only really being spotlighted in a movie or two. So it is really refreshing to see these specific characters be highlighted more prominently, even if it is a show instead of a movie.

I think the design for Godzilla in the little footage we are shown looks really good. I feel like it takes a lot of inspiration from the Godzilla shown in Godzilla 2000 during the Millenium series. I feel like the head shape is really reminiscent of the Millenium Series Godzilla with the way the teeth are designed to be long and jaggy. Also, the promo image and footage implies that this Godzilla will be somewhat hunched over, which is similar to that of Godzilla 2000. I will say that this Godzilla appears to be noticeably more buff compared to Godzilla 2000.

We also got a brief glimpse of what we can assume to be our two main protagonists. They appear to be both highschoolers or at the very least, young adults. There is no indication of what role they will play in the series and what connection they will have to Godzilla and the other kaiju. Personally, I think the heroine might have a run-in with the famed Kaiju which would prompt a connection between the two and possibly a friendship and understanding. Something akin to the relationship between King Kong and Ann in the 2005 King Kong movie by Peter Jackson. Again, of course, this is merely speculation. Maybe they are just classmates who happened to be witnesses to Godzilla and the other kaiju's rampages.

In conclusion, I am really excited for this show to come out and I think kaiju and anime fans alike should be too. This could provide a fresh new take on the Godzilla mythos and possibly take us to areas of the Lizard's history that we have not even thought about yet. Fans can only be hopeful for a series such as this.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
