The film was directed by Kobun Shizuno, Hiroyuki Seshita, with a screenplay written by Gen Urobuchi.

Synopsis

A door opens and a golden seal shatters a star.

It is the early 21st century. Mankind has lost the battle for planet Earth to Godzilla, and has taken to the stars in search of a new home. But the search ends in vain, forcing them and their alien allies back to Earth. But 20,000 years have passed in their absence, and the Earth is a wholly different place.

The planet’s flora and fauna now embody and serve Godzilla. Earth is a monster’s planet, ruled by the largest Godzilla ever at 300 meters in height. Godzilla Earth.

Human protagonist, Captain Haruo, yearns to defeat Godzilla and retake the planet for mankind. There, he meets aboriginal descendants of the human race, the Houtua tribe. The Houtua twin sisters, Maina and Miana, lead him to the skeletal remains of Mechagodzilla, an old anti-Godzilla weapon, which to everyone’s surprise is still alive in the form of self-generating nanometal. Taken from the Mechagodzilla carcass, the nanometals have gradually been rebuilding a "Mechagodzilla City,” a potential weapon capable of destroying Godzilla Earth.

As the strategy develops, a rift forms between the humans and the Bilusaludo, one of several alien races that had joined the humans on their exodus from Earth. Their leader, Galu-gu, believes that the secret to defeating Godzilla lies in the use of superhuman powers - namely, the nanometal integration - but Haruo resists, fearing that in defeating monsters, they must not become monsters themselves. Haruo ultimately uses his means for defeating Godzilla Earth to destroy the Mechagodzilla city so as to prevent nanometal assimilation, killing Galu-gu. However, his childhood friend, Yuko, has been absorbed by the nanometal integration and has fallen into a brain dead coma.

The human race, once again, is lost. Metphies, commander of the priestly alien race, Exif, marvels at the miraculous survival of Haruo, he begins to attract a following. The Exif has secretly harbored this outcome as their “ultimate goal.” Miana and Maina issue warnings against Metphies, while Haruo begins to question mankind’s next move.

With no means for defeating Godzilla Earth, mankind watches as King Ghidorah, clad in a golden light, descends on the planet. The earth shakes once again with as war moves to a higher dimension.

What is Godzilla exactly? Does mankind stand a chance? Is there a future vision in Haruo’s eyes? Find out in the finale.

Development

The first news of the sequel's announcement came on March 25, 2017, where it was announced that the then upcoming Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters would be the first in a planned trilogy of films.[2]

On April 18, 2018, it was confirmed in a humorous tweet by director Hiroyuki Seshita that development on chapter 3 of the Godzilla anime trilogy was underway, alongside City on the Edge of Battle.[3]

On May 18, the day of City on the Edge of Battle's theatrical release for Japan, promotional images for the film began to leak out. The promo material teased the Toho reboot series' incarnation of King Ghidorah, and the flyer also showed a golden, electricity laced Exif insignia on the back of it.[4]

A loosely translated tagline was unveiled, being "Bow down to the golden end." The film's title has many loose translations, ranging from Godzilla: Planet Eater, to Godzilla: Eater of Stars.[1]

The film's official poster was unveiled on May 28, 2018, along with a website update featuring a teaser.

On July 30, 2018, the film's teaser was unveiled, revealing the film's title, which is Godzilla: The Planet Eater, while also teasing Ghidorah further through a roar.

On September 14, 2018, a website update and Twitter post revealed the film's new poster, showing Godzilla Earth fighting Ghidorah, with an unconscious Haruo Sakaki being held by Metphies. The film's theme was unveiled, which is called "Live and Die".

On the 26th, a new novelization dubbed Godzilla: Monster Planet was unveiled, bringing the total novel count to three.

On October 10, 2018, a full trailer was revealed. The trailer contained a lot of new reveals, including the Aratrum under siege by Ghidorah, Metphies growing a following, and Haruo's growing relationship with one of the Houtua twins.
