Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan and many more all feature here, along with the long awaited return of Jet Jaguar. This in turn kicks off activity from the Pacific Ocean, bringing all sorts of kaiju monsters from the deep. The two main characters, do-it-all engineer Yun Arikawa and science graduate Mei Kamino, start their own investigations into strange radio signals coming from an abandoned house. It came out in the Spring season, but arrived on Netflix in June and while a lot of recent takes on Godzilla have mostly been something like what we see in the big-budget Hollywood movies, this show took a lot more influences from the kaiju movies of old. Not all of them turn out so good, but I really ended up enjoying Godzilla Singular Point. I find myself drawn to shows that put new takes on preexisting franchises. Well anyway, enough of that it’s time to get into what were my top 5 favorites of the year. Despite what some followers think, I believe that they have just as much a right to dive into the scene as the likes of Crunchyroll and Funimation do. Something else I noticed this year is how Netflix is beginning to take anime much more seriously than they normally do, by acquiring the rights to some more shows and working with studios. Thankfully I was able to catch up on some Spring shows at the end of the year, and really came across some real gems. It was a decision I didn’t take lightly, as one would think that watching anime and getting onto my regular routine would be something that would take my mind off all the yucky things that had happened over the Spring. While in 2020 I had to take the Summer season off, this year I had to take the Spring season off. As I’m sure you all know, isekai shows are just something I don’t pick here on Otaku Theater. We had less delays and even more isekai shows. It is of course a good thing that the anime industry isn’t being toned down so much. Well this year’s anime seasons got into a better rhythm than the previous year, which was a relief. Ehh, I think the less I talk about that the better, I should go back to anime. Except a new strain has come and is currently ruining our fun. 2021 showed us that the pandemic is far from gone, still yet it gave us vaccines (oh, and go get yours by the way).
