If you are one of the millions reeling from Kong: Skull Island's release, then get ready. Another kaiju flick will soon make its way to you, and the King of Monsters is taking on a whole new form to do so. Later this year, the first-ever anime film about Godzilla will be released thanks to TOHO, and the studio wants as many fans as possible to see it. So, of course, it makes since for TOHO to approach Netflix about streaming it.

Today, news broke that Polygon Pictures would be working with Netflix to stream Godzilla's anime debut globally. TOHO and Netflix will then work together on coordinated theatrical and streaming premieres.

Currently, there is little known about the Godzilla anime venture, but a few pieces of concept art have been released. More details about the project are slated to surface on March 26th when a stage event for the film is held at AnimeJapan 2017.

If you can't wait for more Godzilla, then Japan has you covered. Last year, the country released its first film about Godzilla following a lengthy hiatus, and the praised movie made the King of Monsters fearsome yet again. You can read up on Shin Godzilla below:

In Shin Godzilla, it's a peaceful day in Japan when a strange fountain of water erupts in the bay, causing panic to spread among government officials. At first, they suspect only volcanic activity, but one young executive dares to wonder if it may be something different… something alive. His worst nightmare comes to life when a massive, gilled monster emerges from the deep and begins tearing through the city, leaving nothing but destruction in its wake. As the government scrambles to save the citizens, a rag-tag team of volunteers cuts through a web of red tape to uncover the monster's weakness and its mysterious ties to a foreign superpower. But time is not on their side—the greatest catastrophe to ever befall the world is about to evolve right before their very eyes.
