This is part 1 of an animation that I wanted to make since at least early 2017, but I didn't feel confident enough about it. It doesn't have much revenge so far, but it does have edginess. I'm dividing it into shorter parts (each around 5-10 minutes, maybe some will be shorther or longer) for more frequent uploads and to have something more straightforward and focused to work on. I aim to keep it more coherent than my usual animations.
On that note, I want to sincerely apologize for wasting not just my audience's time, but also for wasting the vast potential of fan-made to kaiju media with most of those random, meaningless, tepid short videos I have made over the past few years. Giant monsters, especially those with a long and rich legacy like Godzilla or Mothra, have inherent potential for emotional storytelling, thought-provoking thematic exploration and exhilarating sensory spectacle, and misusing them merely as mere silly gag characters is the height of disrespect. In recent times especially, I have often wondered how I could handle a more sincere kaiju-related project that would put their potential to good use, but all my ideas ended up being far too ambitious and impossible to realize by me alone with my limited capabilities.
So this animation is not gonna be like that, it's gonna be more of the same idiocy with characters engaging in cartoony antics, but I hope I'll be able to infuse it with at least one of the potentials I mentioned above. Maybe some nice character moments, creative visuals or entertaining action scenes... hopefully I can bring it one step closer into the direction of something that I would have fun watching and not just making. Unlike most of my other videos, which I distance myself from the moment they go public and I get annoyed even thinking about them, maybe this can be something a little more simple or fun. But you'll have to wait until the later parts.

I also apologize to any impatient viewers for how slow my uploads have been. I just want to briefly mention that there were sadly many things slowing me down, even more so than my usual lethargic pace. I had various ailments and illnesses all piling on top of each other recently, which were made worse by a string of misfortunes and private failures and losses. A lot of these have left me feeling dejected and nearly ready to just give up on everything, and I even stopped keeping up with the kaiju discourse and the fanbase as a whole. I'm keeping things vague because this is not the place to discuss these topics, and I'm sure most of you don't care. But I felt I had to say at least something.
Keen-eyed viewers might notice the list of supporters at the end of this video is shorter than last time because it seems I keep losing supporters. That's sad but understandable. I can't offer any Patreon bonuses or perks for paying members because there videos already take up all my time. That's why I refused to open a Patreon for years.
