7 Seeds and Monarch: Legacy of Monsters

Letting the younger generation take over.

7 Seeds

In this two season anime a catastrophe has befallen the Earth and only members of the fallback project known as the 7 Seeds project awake from cryosleep to find a totally different landscape along with new dangers, but as usual the biggest danger is usually other 7 Seeds teams. There's a big cast of characters and some interesting narrative choices but feels very much incomplete as it got canned. The average art was ok, but as the story is left hanging I can't really recommend this one.

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (Season 1)

This live action series follows a pair of step-siblings searching for their missing and presumed dead father who turns out to be connected to a covert organization monitoring kaijus like Godzilla and King Kong. This average story straddles between two time periods (with great use of Wyatt and Kurt Russell) and makes use of decent CGI when the monsters decide to show up - which is more often than I initialy thought. While I wouldn't mind a season two if it appears, I do have issue with some of the main cast who I found a tad unlikable. If you like Godzilla (specifically) then maybe give this a try. Your mileage may vary.
