The '''Heisei era''' {{Nihongo|平成|Heisei}}, or '''Heisei period''' {{Nihongo|平成時代|Heisei jidai}}, was a political period of [[Japan]] which started in [[1989]] with the ascension of Emperor Akihito to the throne, and ended with his abdication in [[2019]]. Films produced during this era, such as those of the ''[[Godzilla (franchise)|Godzilla]]'' or ''[[Gamera (franchise)|Gamera]]'' series, may be identified as the '''Heisei series''' {{Nihongo|平成シリーズ|Heisei shirīzu}} of their respective franchises. While the ''[[Godzilla (franchise)|Godzilla]]'' films of the [[Millennium era|Millennium series]] and beginning of the [[Reiwa era|Reiwa]] series were released during the Heisei era, they are not counted in the same series due to coming after hiatuses in the franchise and not following the same continuity.

The Heisei series of ''[[Godzilla (franchise)|Godzilla]]'' [[:Category:Godzilla Films|films]] lasted from [[1984]] to [[1995]], and has also nicknamed the '''VS. Series''' {{Nihongo|VSシリーズ|Buiesu shirīzu}} in Japan due to the word VS. (''buiesu'') being featured in most of the films' titles. The Heisei series follows a different continuity from the Showa films, ignoring every movie except the original [[1954]] ''[[Godzilla (1954 film)|Godzilla]]''. The Heisei series ran for a total of seven films, with the last film, ''[[Godzilla vs. Destoroyah]]'', intended to be the final Japanese Godzilla film for a period of at least ten years, while [[TriStar Pictures]] was expected to produce a trilogy of American-made Godzilla films in that time frame. Toho revived the franchise early in [[1999]] following the poor reception to TriStar's [[Godzilla (1998 film)|1998 American Godzilla film]],{{Citation needed}} thus beginning the [[Millennium era|Millennium series]]. It should be noted that ''[[The Return of Godzilla]]'' was released during Japan's [[Showa era]] rather than Heisei, but is included retroactively due to it rebooting the franchise and sharing continuity with the Heisei films that followed it.

Japanese political periods

Heisei
Millennium

The Heisei era (平成,   Heisei), or Heisei period (平成時代,   Heisei jidai), was a political period of Japan which started in 1989 with the ascension of Emperor Akihito to the throne, and ended with his abdication in 2019. Films produced during this era, such as those of the Godzilla or Gamera series, may be identified as the Heisei series (平成シリーズ,   Heisei shirīzu) of their respective franchises. While the Godzilla films of the Millennium series and the Reiwa series were released during the Heisei era, they are not counted in the same series due to coming after hiatuses in the franchise and not following the same continuity.

Similarly in the case of the Gamera series, both the Shusuke Kaneko-directed 90s trilogy and Gamera the Brave were released during the Japanese Heisei era, but are not considered to be part of the same "series" due to not sharing continuity.

Films

Godzilla series

The Heisei series of Godzilla films lasted from 1984 to 1995, and has also been nicknamed the VS. Series (VSシリーズ,   Buiesu shirīzu) in Japan due to the word VS. (buiesu) being featured in most of the films' titles. The Heisei series follows a different continuity from the Showa films, ignoring every movie except the original 1954 Godzilla. The Heisei series ran for a total of seven films, with the last film, Godzilla vs. Destoroyah, intended to be the final Japanese Godzilla film for a period of at least 10 years, while TriStar Pictures was expected to produce a trilogy of American-made Godzilla films in that time frame. Toho revived the franchise early in 1999 after seeing an opportunity following the release of TriStar's 1998 American Godzilla film, thus beginning the Millennium series. It should be noted that The Return of Godzilla was released during Japan's Showa era rather than Heisei, but is included in the Heisei series retroactively due to it rebooting the franchise and sharing continuity with the Heisei films that followed it.

Gamera series

Heisei Trilogy

The first Gamera films to be produced during the Heisei era consisted of a trilogy directed by Shusuke Kaneko which lasted from 1995 to 1999, beginning with Gamera the Guardian of the Universe.

Revival

A fourth Heisei Gamera film was produced by Kadokawa in 2006, disconnected from the trilogy which preceded it. While this film was released during the political Heisei period, it is not a part of the same Heisei "series" as Kaneko's trilogy.

Rebirth of Mothra series

Mothra received her first standalone film since the original Mothra in 1996 following the temporary close of the Godzilla series. The Rebirth of Mothra trilogy lasted from 1996 to 1998.
