In previous videos, I shared this support page as a suggestion. Sadly things have changed. The tax treaty between the US and my country ended, meaning that from now on, Google is taxing me and other YouTube creators who live here. So now, I am actively asking for anyone who can to support me. Of course only if it's not a burden on you.

Now onto what this video is.
As the Godzilla franchise nears its 70th anniversary, fans living outside of Japan, the USA or other luckier countries get more and more ignored. I had hoped the international acclaim of Godzilla Minus One would improve things, but it just divided us even further.
Toho and international distributors didn't care to bring the movie to my country, nor to most other countries in the region, nor Southeast Asia and several other places. They keep showering Japan and the West with content, but their blatant negligence of fans in the rest of the world just make me lose interest in this godforsaken franchise. Japanese and Americans fans are living in a "golden age" of Godzilla. Sometimes even West European fans get what they want. To the rest of us, the "dark times" from 2004-2013 are still ongoing, our access to the franchise's media and merch is still limited or straight-up denied.
I get why this is. Godzilla is definitely not a popular franchise in most of the world, especially here in East Europe. The one and only time my country released a Toho Godzilla film was before my lifetime. If even Minus One couldn't raise any meaningful interest, I doubt I could expect this to change.
Sorry for the small rant, but me and other local fans really feel left behind by both Toho and their associates and the larger Japanese and Western fanbase.

This is also why I focus more on making fan works than on official media. But unlike official distributors, I don't want to hold back on releasing content that might interest some of my viewers. This is a scene I animated in 2017 but it was originally planned out around 2015-16 for my "Godzilla Fan Animation Thing" video series. So please excuse the crudeness and the primitive models. I redid the texture work on the monsters, adjusted a lot of the animation and effects. I had to render each shot over and over until they looked "good enough".
The scene is still incomplete, I had to edit or remove certain things because this is just a preview. But this is the closest this project has ever looked to being finished. And there is over an hour of animation that has yet to be fully rendered. Most of it isn't really good but I believe there is enough fun and imaginative stuff in there to merit finishing the whole thing. I might go back to it once I'm done with other projects.
