We’ve been following the production of Godzilla: Monster Planet, an anime that takes place on Earth 20,000 years later. The world that the humans come home to is one that’s inhabited by a gargantuan-sized Godzilla.

You thought the Godzilla in the 2014 film was huge? Please. This new take on the iconic monster measures in at a 300 meter height. You can check out just how big that is compared to other iterations of the monster by CLICKING HERE.

But when can we expect this lord of lizards to hit Netflix? It hit Japan only last November, but a release worldwide was pending at an unspecified date. Well, thanks to a new trailer from Netflix, we now know the film is set to hit here in a short nine days.

That’s right. On January 17, 2018, the animated film will hit Netflix.

Below is the official synopsis of Godzilla: Monster Planet:

“The last summer of the 20th Century. That day, the human beings learn that they are not the only ruler of the planet Earth.

The appearance of the giant living creatures “Kaiju’s” and the ultimate existence that destroys all monsters: Godzilla. Through the battle against kaiju’s that lasted for half a century, human beings have experienced continuous defeat, and finally plan to escape from the Earth. And in 2048, only those who were selected by the A.I. managed under the central government boarded the inter-sidereal emigrant spaceship “Aratrum” to head for “Tau Cetus e”, the planet beyond the distance of 11.9 light-year. However, the environmental condition differences between that of the Earth and Tau e, which they finally arrived after 20 years were far beyond the predicted numbers, and was not an environment considered to be habitable by human beings.

The young man on the emigrant ship: Haruo, who saw his parents killed by Godzilla in front of his eyes when he was 4 years old, had only one thing in his mind for 20 years: to return to the Earth and defeat Godzilla. Shut out from the possibility of emigration, as the living environment in the ship deteriorates, the group of “Earth Returnists” led by Haruo became the majority, and determines to head back to Earth through a dangerous long-distance hyperspace navigation. However, the Earth they have returned has already passed the time of 20,000 years, and has become an unknown world with the ecosystem reigned by Godzilla.

At the end, will human beings win back the Earth? And what will Haruo see beyond his fate?”
