Giant Monsters Appear in Tokyo (大怪獣東京に現わる Daikaijū Tōkyō ni Arawaru) is a 1998 kaiju comedy film co-produced by Yoshimoto Kogyo, Marubeni, and Tokyu Agency and distributed by Shochiku. It was released to Japanese theaters on September 26, 1998.[1]
Plot
A devastating earthquake rocks the Kanto region as a fire-breathing dinosaur attacks Tokyo and a flying turtle devastates Fukuoka. As their rampages continue, it becomes clear that they will meet in Fukui Prefecture. With the JSDF helpless and U.S. aircraft carriers capsized by a tsunami triggered by the earthquake, the residents of Mikuni Town must decide where to evacuate. Neither monster appears onscreen in the film; instead, their activities are conveyed through a series of news reports.
