Story

Synopsis

In an alternate 1925, rapid overpopulation pushes humanity to initiate ambitious terraforming operations on Mars. When an automated Japanese spacecraft returning from the red planet crashes into downtown Tokyo, it releases Negadon, a colossal extraterrestrial behemoth encased in indestructible rocky armor. Conventional military missiles and artillery prove utterly useless as the rampaging kaiju incinerates suburban neighborhoods with searing heat rays. Humanity's last hope rests on Ryuichi Narasaki, a reclusive former roboticist haunted by a tragic past test accident, who reactivates his colossal drill-equipped battle machine Miroku to wage a desperate last stand.

⚠ Background — may contain spoilers
Independent digital auteur Jun Awazu spent over two years writing, designing, directing, and creating this innovative twenty-five-minute computer-animated short film, released by CoMix Wave Films in October 2005. Emulating the cinematic grain, miniature physical sets, and dramatic orchestral brass of classic 1960s Showa-era tokusatsu cinema like *Godzilla*, Awazu rendered the entire production in full 3D CGI. The short won the prestigious Outstanding Performance Award at the 2005 Japan Media Arts Festival and earned international acclaim from kaiju purists for its affectionate homage to golden-age monster cinema.
