Development
GAMERA -Rebirth- was announced on November 17, 2022 (all dates hereafter in JST) through an official website and Twitter account. Few details were provided, except that it will stream globally on Netflix.[4]
In a New Year's tweet on January 1, 2023, the official @gamera_info Twitter alluded to GAMERA -Rebirth- being released in 2023.[1]
On January 30, it was announced that the project will be an animated series consisting of six episodes,[5] as well as that Gamera would battle five kaiju in the series, including Gyaos.[7]
The series' key staff and cast members and animation studio were revealed on February 13.[3][6]
Marketing
GAMERA -Rebirth-'s announcement was accompanied by two teaser images—one depicting Gamera in silhouette and the other a closeup of his eye[8]—and a brief teaser trailer. The teaser was uploaded to Kadokawa's anime YouTube channel, hinting the project may be animated. Beginning November 21, the teaser images were displayed on the "Shibuya Super Board" billboard on the Tokyu Toyoko train line and the teaser trailer played on the Umeda Bigman billboard in Osaka.[9]
Also included in the announcement was a comment from Heisei Gamera trilogy director Shusuke Kaneko, who expressed his support for the project and stated that he had completed a proposal for his own unrelated Reiwa Gamera project.[10] An S.H. MonsterArts figure of Gamera was teased at the Tamashii Nation 2022 exhibition in Tokyo from November 18 through 20.[9] A "Gamera Newspaper" was also distributed there,[11] teasing a silhouette of Gamera's shell and heavily magnified images of the MonsterArts figure.[12]
On January 30, 2023, another teaser trailer was released[5] along with key art of Gyaos.[7] Heisei Gamera trilogy screenwriter Kazunori Ito also gave a comment of support for the project.[13] Later that day, it was announced that GAMERA -Rebirth- will have a panel on the main stage of AnimeJapan 2023 on March 25 as well as have a presence at the event's Kadokawa booth. The panel will feature the series' four lead voice actors as guests, and a new trailer will be released.[14]
A "kaiju pro wrestling visual" featuring both Gamera and Gyaos was released on February 13. Each new monster that is announced for the series will be added to the art.[15]
A synopsis for the show and new key visual featuring Gamera, Gyaos and Jiger were released on March 23.[16][17] Another Gamera Newspaper will also be available during AnimeJapan.[18]
