Godzilla Season 1

I am an unabashed huge fan of the Godzilla series. Mostly the Heisei series, but they all have some amusements about them. So, being that I like to toy with notions of working in my favorite series, the thought occurred to me that Godzilla would make a FANTASTIC TV series. But what if you didn't stop at making the ultimate Godzilla series but rather wrapped together the ENTIRE span of Toho monster and science fiction movies into a single coherent universe? So, with that thought in mind, I bring you a quick overview of what Season 1 would be of such a series.

When the JSDF proves incapable of destroying Godzilla again, Colonel Goro Gondo forms a team of scientists and soldiers to combat the King of the Monsters.

Seeking out Japan’s Top Biologists, he recruits Akira Ichinose and Erika Shirigami. The last member of the team is the country’s top Nuclear Physicist, Fujisaki Ogata, a man whose family has a history with the legendary monster… Ogata Makes fast friends with Erika and Kazuma, however Akira and Sho prove to be more foe than friend.
