Production

The Chibi Godzilla character—who was created to celebrate the 65th anniversary of Toho's Godzilla franchise—first appeared in the 2018 picture book Ganbare Chibi Gojira[a] by Chiharu Sakazaki. In March 2023, the character's first anime television series—Chibi Godzilla Raids Again, a title that purportedly references the second Godzilla film—was announced by Toho.[8][9] The series comprises thirteen 2 min 40 s episodes featuring chibi-style kaiju characters,[10] and is a manzai comedy that is targeted more at an adult audience.[11][12] In an interview with io9, producer Go Miyazaki said that the show still appeals to children, but "we have noticed that they tend to prefer more sophisticated humor".[12]

The series is produced by animation studio Pie in the Sky and Toho. Taketo Shinkai, who is also writing the script, is directing. Character design is provided by Sakazaki and animation production is done by Junichi Endo and Yuji Nikaido. The show stars Jun Fukuyama as Chibi Godzilla and Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as Chibi Mechagodzilla, with Sumi Shimamoto doing the narration.[10] The anime premiered on April 1, 2023, on TV Tokyo's programming block Iniminimanimo and began streaming internationally as a web series on the official Godzilla YouTube channel with English subtitles on April 11.[13][12] The first season ended on its original network on June 24.[14] On March 8, 2024, it was announced that a second season would premiere on April 3, 2024 as a segment on TV Tokyo's children's television series Oha Suta, with episodes available on YouTube immediately after airing.[15] The second season aired weekly for a year, concluding on March 26, 2025.[15][16] Additionally, it began streaming on the official Godzilla YouTube channel with English subtitles from April 10, 2024.[17] On May 31, 2025, it was announced that a third season would premiere on July 2 with Wednesday Campanella performing the series' new theme song "Kaijū-tō" (怪獣島) and Katsuyuki Konishi joining the cast as Chibi JJ.[7]
