Last Hope

Last Hope

Set in a near-future world where the boundary between human being and AI is vague, a rapid biological evolution, similar to "Cambrian Explosion," is caused by one incident. This incident turns into the genesis of a new jostle for supremacy, and the influence of the evolution goes beyond biological framework and spreads to various kinds of materials and technologies. The era of massive evolution involving diverse existences, such as human, machines and biotechnologies, is coming. Characters fight an existential war in such a world.

Both have advanced tech, both have tanks, mechs, and a genius, both have some exciting action... athough godzilla is more exciting of the two. The character development is more substantial in Juushinki Pandora (Last Hope).

Both anime revolve around losing the earth to evolving creatures. I'd say Godzilla is the grittier one.

Sidonia and Godzilla Movie 1 are very much alike, be it in terms of plot or aesthetics. They both follow the remnants of humanity as they wander space in a colony-sized ship. These crews face hardships that range from living in limited quarters with no actual home planet to call their own to a shortage of resources.

In both anime humanity must fight giant monsters in order to survive. 

The heavy CGI aesthetics and battered look of the ships and space suits seal the deal.

Kaijuu Sakaba Kanpai!

Being a villain is never easy, especially when you HAVE to be beaten by heroes in EVERY episode. Kaijuu Sakaba (literally "Monsters' Bar") is a place for exhausted tokusatsu monsters to relax and rejuvenate so they can have their butts kicked by superheroes next day.

School life is anything but dull for Maa, Sebu, Taa and the rest of a class full of child superheroes and monsters. Between playing soccer and other lively activities, the kids learn valuable lessons along the way such as the best way to make sure one's homework gets done.
