With character designs by Kazue Kato (Blue Exorcist), Godzilla: Singular Point is an original anime series with an all-new cast and story. Produced by animation studios Bones (My Hero Academia) and Orange (Beastars, Land of the Lustrous), the series will combine both hand-drawn and CG animation styles.

The classic Godzilla films can currently be streamed via HBO Max.
