What is Godzilland? Part One: The 1980s - MIB Play Time Ep 26

[@Kitsunemetal]

Godzilla movies may go on hiatus but Godzilla toys are forever.

[@Digger318]

bandai just announced another monster arts lol and a jet jaguar last week

[@primezilla37]

[@BlueOysterStan]

Hiatus? Far from it

[@DRAGON-hc5od]

Agreed

[@sharkdoesstufff]

I showed my younger sister Godzilland, she cried because of how adorable the designs are. Godzilland was honestly something else, I've seen like 4 of the episodes on KZbin, I would have loved something like that as a kid, but hey, I guess I'll stick to dinosaur train :/

[@michaelcallari]

The OVAs were really just the tip of the iceberg... thanks so much for gathering all of this!

[@Duncaster]

I absolutely adore the art style of Godzilland. It’s so damn cute

[@masterofgaburincho]

I always admired Godzilland for its cute and simple style. It absolutely blew my mind to see Gamera kaiju drawn in the style! (Even if the guide was unofficial) 16:47 Interestingly I tend to have ideas that if I were to bring back Godzilland in terms of merch, I'd make it exclusive to places like Hot Topic, Boxlunch, and FYE (as some Godzilla merch tends to be). In terms of the show, I'd make it stray away from its educational roots in the OVAs and make it an action-comedy adventure show instead.

[@Crazytown03]

Ok I would like to reboot it (unofficially) when i learn to animate.

[@doomzilla3568]

Fantastic video MIB! I'm familiar with godzilland thanks to a friend who showed me the 1990 ovas and I really like it! I never knew the series has *THIS* amount of merch during the 1980s, like WOW!!! I would love to collect some of these!!!! Looking forward to the 1990 era of Godzilland!!!!

[@Gappasaurus]

Outstanding retrospective MIB, with so many items i’ve never seen before! 😳 Eagerly looking forward to Part 2! 😁 Also, I think that may be Dogora @ 15:42 😉

[@tycoonraptor7052]

I like Godzilland because imo its balances the cute roundish aspect and actually looking like the character in question. Like if I showed someone a picture of Godzilland Godzilla they would know it was the Big G, versus Chibi Godzilla I'm willing to bet a lot of people would have no idea who he was supposed to be (assuming they had never seen the designs prior)

[@stevele4877]

Compare that to the new Chibi Godzilla, which looks like a broccoli and bear hybrid. Not that I hate that design, but I’m just pointing it out.

[@ZimMan2]

Your enthusiasm for Godzilland is so infectious. I would absolutely bring it back if I could make that call, probably with art more in line with the 90’s era, since that art is a bit closer to modern sensibilities, though I wouldn’t want to change very much at all. Godzilland is already the cutest of all the SD Godzilla stuff. I actually think the recent Chibi Godzilla stuff is pretty alright, but none of those designs are anywhere near as cute as Godzilland.

[@wolfmantheimpaler]

"They love rice balls" I've seen Pokémon, I know jelly donuts when I see them!

[@ShinGoji1987Official]

Awesome showcase man! This art style is adorable and cool, I like the crossover one the most with Gamera. At 12:10 it looks like Bulma from Dragon ball is in the female Godzilla suit lol

[@minelast9786]

Or that might even be lum from urusei yatsura though i can't say to be certain.

Thanks for the videos I truly enjoy every single play time. Amazing videos. We learn and have fun yeah!

[@foxtailanimations1592]

I remember seeing Godzilland for the first time in middle school and thinking it was fan made, until I did research on it and found out it was official. After that I really wanted to get at least one official Godzilland figure, still looking but hopefully I'll find one.

[@LamangoKaijura]

Erasers erasers...I went through and found erasers for Godzilla, Zonefighter, Megaloman, the Ultra series up until Tiga, Mirrorman, Kamen Rider series, Gamera, ... Now I'm learning about Gojirand Erasers? Any chance you can upload that map you featured at 16:00?

[@Legoartboy]

4:58 what about in your show? There’s humans that are the same scale as the monsters but sometimes they’re around city buildings

[@nickdriscoll6131]

I'm rewatching these and just blown away by how much you work you put into these--and how much money must have gone into collecting the goodies! These are just so awesome, man.

[@tomthespaceknerd5396]

I don't think I'll ever stop finding that "Playtime! Yeeeeeeaaaaaaah!" soundbite hilarious.

[@mightyfilm]

3:03 YAY! A Kinnikuman shout out. Anyway, I'd imagine that if Godzilla has a dedicated land for him and his monster friends to play on, they would have giant monster sized versions of what humans play with. I always love that 1980's Chibi/Gag manga style artwork. There's something magical about that 1980's anime aesthetic that draws me to to that period.

[@kaijuzilla4465]

was excited to see you talk about Godzilland and can't wit for the next part!!!

[@windofchaosblows]

gidzilland is so cute it can give me diabetes

[@bruhcheddar5122]

To bring Godzilland back, I (and everyone else) would start with soft vinyl figures.

[@tenyokensekia8088]

Oh my god, they are so cute I can't handle it. I MUST have plushies of them. You better hope I never meet you face to face MIB, my wallet is gonna be a lot lighter thanks to you jerk XD

[@oityancyobi3464]

ゴジランドのグッズまた欲しくなりました！いいなーー！懐かしいーー！👍👍👍！

[@insaneedoko999]

Yes more Goji history!!! Love your vids and could you do one where we see Titanosaurus mess up the timeline and almost destroy existence in an alternate universe?

[@cassandralyris4918]

Oh man, I LOVE these!!! The only Godzilla stuff I still have from the 80's are my Godzilla and Godzuki plushies.

[@ZFSBoss2090]

I found out about Godzilland through you when you discussed the Chibi Godzilla line that took it's place, but as for how I'd revitalize it, I'd probably include more lessons, including "Egaite! Subarashii! Iro" [Draw it! Lovely! Colors] which is a color lesson. Heck, at first I was appalled from the sheer cuteness, but I've grown used to it now!

[@christopherjordan6235]

If I was to bring Godzilland back to life, I would like to see it in a Tiny Toons like setting

[@destroyerzilla0154]

I definitely get Tiny Toons Adventurers vibes from Godzilland as it is which is cool!

[@orinanime]

Yesss!! That's a perfect idea!

[@freshlysqueezed-r3u]

I would love to have a collection of binders like that. I’ve searched for scans multiple times so I’m looking through your social media accounts now!

[@andagi1920]

1:19 Irrelevant but man did the 80's miniatures kick ass. Nakano and Kawakita were on fire in G84 and GvB with those night scenes and perspective shots, plus those "modern" cities were so meticulously crafted. Imo the set quality following GvKG wouldn't be that good again until the Millennium films

[@paleona5820]

Thanks so much for sharing your collection like this! Godzilland is so cute and charming; its vibrant colors and overall fun vibe is really inspiring. It would be awesome if the new US Godzilla store capitalized on this and offered up new merch 🥺

[@littlegojira7930]

Fantastic vid also did any else notice the space Godzilla micro head in the beginning of the video on the desk?

[@davidnaud3767]

16:41 Ok bur that Gojirin design tho

[@petesolo70]

I never knew these existed, thanks for showing these.

[@Goobsterwill]

Man everytime I here the Godzilland Intro I get sad cause I think of my dad who passed away due to liver cancer. But then I get happy cause i remember fun memories. It’s also pretty catchy

[@BahstX]

OMG! The erasers remind me of the Muscle men I had as a kid...I want all of these. All these toys make me pine for the knee high Godzilla (vinyl) toy my ex found at a thrift store once. Unfortunately, he got lost in a move, which is sad, because we were planning on making a mini-Godzilla fan film since he's also a Model train person. We had amassed a huge amount of toy soldiers, vehicles etc. as well as a bunch of tiny dino toys.

[@kuitaranheatmorus9932]

I think this video was pretty great and I really enjoyed it.

[@gavinatkinson5869]

6:30 Actually, the 80s Godzilland Mothra larvae both look like cartoon baby birds. LOL 🐣😝

[@danwichgames]

I would love some 3d scans of those erasers to 3d print.

[@BlueTheInstructor]

At 12:58 that is the same game as GODZILLA on the gameboy, but colored and obviously not on the game boy. Will this be acknowledged on a future episode?

[@ATakTakTak]

The gameboy game is actually a sequel to the MSX one, he talks about it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3jCnWl4fbd-rbc In his twitter he recently came across some Godzilla manga in the style of the gameboy game (the japanese version that is).

[@26th_Primarch]

I can respect that you didn't stoop to making the cliche and overused jelly donut meme. Also it's interesting to see that a couple images of Godzilland Ghidorah has a similar depiction of how post Legendary KotM Ghidorah has separate personalities for each head...

[@CasualRonin]

I honestly like the Gojirand style. It's simple, but still recognizable and overall charming af. If I were to be the one to bring back Godzilland/Gojirand, I would absolutely do it in the style of a comedic slice-of-life style series with room for the occasional monster rumble (but nothing too serious).

[@cooltrainervaultboy-39]

14:04 Using my patent pending bootleg technique, I was able to get ahold of the pattern for this. Now while I don't have the original fabric, I can hook you up with a plush!

[@TheKaijuKai]

We need a collection tour! Your collection seems so cool!

[@legitalabamaman2391]

Agree

[@KeizerJirachi]

Can't wait for Part 2!

[@UJEvans]

So if Minilla is in this, are he and Godzilla the same age in the Godzilland universe? Is he Godzilla's little brother in this version?

[@MonsterIslandBuddies]

My theory is Godzilla is an adult in the 80s (even when he goes by "Gojira-kun") and a kid in the 1990s. Minilla was scrapped for the '90s reboot lol

[@jordanmercado5745]

Wow!!!!!!!!! what kind of pictures MIB?😏😏😏

[@lrgogo1517]

I wish I were Goji-pilled enough to get what the fanart at 16:38 is depicting. Is the guy on the right... the villain of that weird creepypasta about a licensed game? That raises my questions further!

[@GjoobAndSkarmory]

Yup! Its red from the godzilla NES creepypasta

[@enathelocalpotato2828]

I hope the next episode monster island buddies is a Christmas episode

[@unluckychucky3979]

A modern day Godzilland anime would be the greatest thing the series would have to offer

[@dorkydodo2325]

10:34 i know what he actually means by "hunting them" *BUT* i can't get the image of MIB in a jungle just mercilessly shooting tiny little chibi kaiju with a machine gun out of my head

[@charcoal6017]

Man, I feel like something like Godzilland would do super well in this day and age Especially if a series was made of it.

[@trevorrandom]

I want all of those Godzilla Land toy's 👍

[@thegangstachimp]

is this line still around? it looks classic

[@Aldenfenris]

I really dig the Godzilland style, it is so simple, and child friendly, but if you have a clue on the characters, you can tell it's them. It is really well done, and adorable.

[@thelittleal1212]

I would love if toho is gonna do some more chibi merchandise for Singular Point and Shin. Something is always so cute about making something very scary evil looking to something very cute

Once you showed Hedorah, I was immediately transported back into the 90s, playing Godzilla on my GameBoy

[@CloverDoesJunkStopMotion]

It’s always a good day when MIB uploads

[@ATakTakTak]

All I can think of about a Godzilland animated revival is having live action footage from the movies as gags like in Muppet Babies. Like if two characters start fighting harmlessly, flapping their arms with their heads turned at a safe distance, they IMAGINE the fight as one from the movies.
