7/10
One of my childhood favorites but....

Although this has got to be one of my favorite series from my Childhood, as I look at it with the eyes of an adult I see many, many flaws. The animation was great and I love the monster designs. But why no origin stories, allot of seventy shows did that and it really bugged me. How did Captain Majors get control of the greatest monsters of them all. That's one, two, if they had Toho's permission to use Godzilla's name and likeness, then why not use the original sound effect. I love Ted Cassidy, but I would have preferred the classic roar. Next, breathing fire? Godzilla never breathed fire, it was a form of radiation that blows stuff up. Why change it to fire? To dumb it down I imagine. Lastly but not least. None of the new monsters have names, they were the Firebird or the Eartheater. No imagination in the writing. The voice over cast does a great job and I still love this series, despite it's fault, after all, isn't that what love is all about? 7 STARS
