Anon e Mouse Jr.

My name is Anon e Mouse Jr., and I've been a fan of the Godzilla franchise since the late 1990s.

History

I first started reading up on the franchise around the time the first American remake was released, when an article in the local newspaper discussed the film (a little) and included a list of all the classic films. I had actually watched Godzilla vs. Megalon earlier that same year, and was very surprised to learn how many other films were out there. In time, I acquired twenty of the first 22 films (and the 1998 version) on VHS, lacking only Godzilla Raids Again and Godzilla vs. Hedorah (though I have since seen both, and the six Millennium films) along with two books covering the subject (The Official Godzilla Compendium and Japan's Favorite Mon-Star: The Unauthorized Biography of "The Big G") and Marc Cerasini's four novels (Godzilla Returns, Godzilla 2000, Godzilla at World's End and Godzilla vs. the Robot Monsters).

Around this same time, I became obsessed with monsters in general, and so acquired a great deal of the Universal Monsters films, a handful of the Gamera (sans only Gamera vs. Zigra, Gamera: Super Monster and Gamera the Brave) and King Kong films, and some of Toho's other monster movies.

While I have yet to see any new films released after 2010, I have read (and since purchased) the novelization of Godzilla (2014 film) and am looking forward to future films in this and other monster franchises.

I've also dabbled in writing my own monster fanfiction, but have yet to actually publish anything as its own story. (I have made Godzilla-centric contributions to a collaborative series known as The Infinite Loops, which includes a variety of franchises, both for kaiju and other works.)

Hail to the monster king... long may he roar!
