Trivia / Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters

• All-Star Cast:
  • The leading cast in Japanese is loaded with prominent voice actors including Mamoru Miyano, Yuki Kaji, Daisuke Ono, Jun'ichi Suwabe, Tomokazu Sugita, Kana Hanazawa, and Takahiro Sakurai.
  • The English leading cast includes Chris Niosi, Robbie Daymond, Jamieson Price, Cristina Valenzuela, Lucien Dodge, and Martin Billany (yes, that Martin Billany).
• Playing Against Type: Martin Billany, better known as LittleKuriboh, is well-known for Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series and Freeza of Dragon Ball Z Abridged. Here, he's in a very serious anime, however as a minor character who's amazed at the idea of seeing the ocean.
• Executive Meddling: According to Seshita, Toho had a very pre-organized and strategized plan for the anime trilogy and the creators originally wanted to just have a kaiju brawl series of Godzilla fighting multiple enemy kaiju as the main focus, but Toho shot it down.
• What Could Have Been:
  • According Hiroyuki Seshita, the original concept for the trilogy was a kaiju brawl series with Godzilla vs many opponents, but Toho had their own plans and shot it down. Seshita would repurpose this idea for GAMERA -Rebirth-.
  • Think Godzilla just being a Botanical Abomination wasn't enough? Some concept art shows him with demon horns, a giant spiked beard, facial fins that resemble Varan, and even a mane! That's right. Godzilla could've had a Lion's mane!
