Polygon Pictures produced this thrilling full 3D computer-animated science-fiction feature film, released in Japanese theaters by TOHO in November 2017 as the opening chapter of the anime *Godzilla* trilogy. Co-directed by Kobun Shizuno and Hiroyuki Seshita, the production featured an original screenplay by acclaimed writer Gen Urobuchi, celebrated for *Puella Magi Madoka Magica* and *Fate/Zero*. The film offered a bold reimagining of the classic kaiju mythos, blending hardcore military sci-fi with cosmic horror. Distributed globally via Netflix, the production marked Godzilla's very first official feature-length animated cinematic adaptation.
