Godzilla: The Series

Godzilla: The Series (ゴジラ ザ・シリーズ, Gojira za Shirīzu) was an animated series made as a sequel to the 1998 film.

Summary
In the series, Zilla Junior battles a large group of giant monsters. The show tracks Zilla and team H.E.A.T. around the planet battling new mutations and other super-natural beasts.

The series not only had Zilla battle several other, such as a Giant Bat, but also face a fleet of invaders known as "Tachyons" in a tribute to Destroy All Monsters, and an eccentric billionaire rival of Nick's. See the List of monsters from Godzilla: the Series for more details on the creatures featured. In an ironic twist from the original Godzilla TV adaptation, in the 1998 film, Zilla breathes fire, while in the series, his son breathes Atomic Breath.

Reception
Despite the negative reaction to the film, Godzilla: The Series garnered surprisingly positive reactions from fans and it did well in the TV ratings. The series followed the adventures of Dr. Nick Tatopoulos, a major character from the film, and Zilla's surviving baby. The series returned Godzilla's trademark characteristics to Zilla Junior, including his strength and nigh-indestructibility, his atomic breath and general masculinity. Zilla Jr. follows Dr. Tatopoulos and the members of H.E.A.T around, having imprinted upon Nick as his own parent, and fights various other monsters that have been formed by nuclear radiation, in the style of the late Showa era. The fan response to the series was overall very positive, and Zilla Junior gained much respect from those who hated the film.
