If Godzilla Minus One hadn’t satisfied your appetite for kaiju action, their chibi counterpart is about to return for a cuteness overload.
Although the big-G is firmly rooted in sci-fi horror, cinema’s greatest monster has long had an adorable side, too. In 1967, we were introduced to Godzilla Junior in the aptly titled Son of Godzilla, an incredibly cute kaiju child who’s clumsy and struggles with fighting with big monsters, bless ’em.
Since then, we’ve had numerous films with a more comedic, almost wholesome vibe, but none as much as theanime showChibi Godzilla Raids Again. A more recent incarnation of the king of the monsters, this focuses on another of their children, who aspires to be as strong and fearsome.
They’re surrounded by similarly fluffy counterparts of other kaiju, and they’re all about to return to your screens.

The first 13 episodes came out around this time last year. Each just a couple of minutes long, they feature Chibi Godzilla, Chibi Mothra, Chibi Rodan, and many more residents of Monster Island getting into various hijinks. It’s produced by Pie in the Sky and directed by Taketo Shinkai, both of which are returning for the second season.
For now, we have the videos on YouTube, and I’m very glad of them. For more fine viewing options, check out our lists of thebest anime moviesandbest anime like Solo Leveling.
