Just successfully appealed several posts on this blog that Tumblr’s brilliant adult content bot had flagged by mistake — at some point in my long absence it seems that they implemented an easy and transparent way to get flagged posts reviewed by a human moderator. Better late than never!

Shin Godzilla - English on-screen text edit by Red Menace

This fan edit is an English visual presentation of Shin Godzilla. The textless presentation of the film featured on Funimation’s Blu-ray was used as the main visual source.

Notes on this edit:

The modern Toho logo has no English version that I’m aware of and so was left in Japanese, but the Showa-era one was replaced with the English Toho logo from Kraken Releasing’s Godzilla vs. Gigan Blu-ray.

The blue Toho Eiga card was replaced with a digital re-creation of the Toho Pictures card used in numerous International versions of Godzilla films; the specific iteration used as a reference here was from Godzilla vs. Mothra.

The title itself was rendered in a format similar to that of the Japanese title, based on the official English logo (see above).

All on-screen expository captions were rendered in English in a visually similar serif font to the Japanese captions, specifically a close recreation of the Romaji font that appears throughout Neon Genesis Evangelion, using my original translations from @shin-godzilla-captions with a few minor modifications. The placement and timing were based on the Japanese version.

The end credits were assembled from Toho’s official English credits that appeared on the Funimation poster, the cast list on Wikizilla, a complete Romanization of the entire Japanese cast list (courtesy of @astoundingbeyondbelief), and the IMDb credits, with certain features of the formatting directly replicating the original Japanese credit roll.

The “The End” card was rendered in Lisbon CG, possibly the most obvious instance of creative license in this edit. My rationale is that since the “Owari” kanji in the Japanese version is rendered in a style similar to that seen in many Showa series films, I would use a font common in the title sequences in the US versions of the Showa films.

I'm still steadily gaining followers on here even though I've pretty much just left this blog sitting here without posting anything new... maybe I should do something
