Godzilla vs. Megaguirus

Godzilla vs. Megaguirus, released in Japan as Godzilla×Megaguirus: G Shōmetsu Sakusen (ゴジラ×メガギラス G消滅作戦, Gojira tai Megagirasu Jī Shōmetsu Sakusen?, lit. "Godzilla vs. Megaguirus: G Extermination Command"), is the twenty-fourth of Toho Studios' Godzilla film series, and the second of the Shinsei Series to feature an original daikaiju, Megaguirus. It was the first of three Godzilla films directed by Masaaki Tezuka and the last of two with special effects by Kenji Suzuki. It debuted at the Tokyo International Film Festival on December 3, the 46th anniversary of the release of the original Godzilla. Like other Shinsei Series entries, Godzilla vs. Megaguirus ignores previous film continuity: in its universe, Godzilla has previously appeared in Tokyo in 1954, the Tokaimura Power Plant in 1966 and Osaka in 1996. Additionally, it features minor kaiju meganulon seen previously only in Rodan (1956).
