In the summer of [[1989]], [[Boco|Bo[c]o]], [[Joe]], and [[Junichi]] were in the 6th grade, and in their last summer vacation as elementary school students. | |||
Each of them has vague fears about the future. | |||
Then [[Brody]], the son of the commander of the U.S. forces in Japan, confronts them. | |||
Brody steals the cash the three of them have saved. | |||
Angered, Bo[c]o and his friends devise a plan to get their money back. | |||
Just as they are about to execute their plan, the town is hit by a crisis. | |||
The monster [[Gyaos]] suddenly attacks [[Tokyo]]. | |||
The four boys are trapped in a town reduced to ruins by Gyaos. | |||
As Gyaos sets its sights on them, a giant monster appears. | |||
Its name is [[Gamera (GAMERA -Rebirth-)|Gamera]]. | |||
This was the beginning of their "Summer of Kaiju." | |||
The monsters appear one after another. Gamera fights back despite his wounds. | |||

Trivia
- GAMERA -Rebirth- is the first fully animated Gamera production, as well as the franchise's first television series.

- This series will mark the first full-scale production of the Gamera franchise since Gamera the Brave in 2006, as well as the first released during Japan's Reiwa era.

- Mamoru Miyano, who voices James Tazaki, also voiced Haruo Sakaki in all three films. Saori Hayami, who voices the character Emiko Melchiori in this series, voiced Haruka Sasaki in GODZILLA: The Planet Eater.
