In "GMK", Godzilla is the byproduct of the Japanese war-dead, a literal embodiment of sacrificed souls. The design is a callback to the 1954 "ShodaiJira" design, but with blank eyes to give Godzilla an "undead" look.
It had an amazing soundtrack as well

the show it's from is about a interstellar war came to earth and nuked it so bad that the oceans dried up. Humanity found the sunken [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_battleship_Yamato"]Yamato[/URL] and retrofitted it for space combat to make an interstellar voyage to a planet that may give them a device that would regenerate the earth. I'm not 100% certain but I don't think it's meant to be 100% practical or realistic.

I love totalitarian architecture
From the Soviet Union:
[QUOTE]Unapologetic in their colossal scale and glorification of the totalitarian state, these gigantic structures dominate urban landscapes of the former Eastern Bloc countries, still capable either to inspire dreams of imperial grandeur, or resurrect ghosts of dark abuses of power.
Unlike much of German architecture created in the Nazi period, buildings and other structures from the Stalinist era are still are very much with us, some being built after Stalin’s death in 1953, but in the same style as that prevalent in the 1930’s and 1940’s. Examples of Stalinist architecture, mostly in Russia and the former Soviet republics, but also in Eastern Europe, are quite well known. This article examines a selection of the more notable buildings and monuments, as well as some of the planned projects that never materialized.

From Nazi Germany:
[QUOTE]Fascist and communist governments in the first half of the twentieth century both created monumental architecture, largely to intimidate their people and showcase the regime's strengths.
In a totalitarian system such as existed in Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945, the government attempted to control every aspect of daily life. It used architecture to some degree to achieve this, to firmly establish its authority leaving no doubt as to who was in charge. One of the chief aims of Nazi architecture was also to reflect the beliefs of National Socialism, celebrate the German national identity and glorify the idea of the master Aryan race, as perceived by Hitler and his associates.[/quote]

[quote]There was no official Nazi architectural style although most of the structures and monuments designed by Albert Speer and others imitated Imperial Rome. Hitler was an admirer of the Roman Empire and imagined himself to be creating a realm to both rival and then surpass that of the Caesars. The Nazis, who dismissed much of the customary decoration and used only the raw, muscular elements, exaggerated the classical Roman style, which portrayed their ideal image of a strong, warlike state. This was known as stripped classicism and was not only used in Germany, but was relatively popular in other countries as well in the inter war period.

[QUOTE]Hitler had Speer, his favoured architect, design plans for the rebuilding of Berlin.

[QUOTE]A grand boulevard, three miles in length, to be known as Prachtstrasse, ("Street of Magnificence") would run from north to south. A huge arch would be located at the southern end, which would be almost 400 feet high and able to fit Paris' Arc de Triomphe inside it. At the northern end would be the Volkshalle ("People's Hall"), an enormous domed building designed to be the centrepiece of the new Berlin.

Another building that was actually finished was the new Reich Chancellery, which was built in only nine months after Hitler asked Speer to design it in early 1938.

The complete collection of rooms making up the approach to Hitler's reception gallery was 725 feet long, while Hitler's private office was 400 square metres. [/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]Allied bombing took a huge toll on German cities and Berlin suffered greatly in the Soviet assault in the spring of 1945. Some buildings however survived intact or are still visible as ruins. Some of the better known structures are in Nuremberg, site of the huge Nazi rallies throughout the thirties.
The Zeppelinfield Arena was one of Speer's first projects for the party in 1934 and was based on the Pergamon Altar, an ancient Greek structure, which has featured in lists of wonders of the world. Used for the enormous Nazi rallies and party ceremonies, the arena was built on a huge scale and could hold 240,000 people. [/QUOTE]
