Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle

Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle (2018) is the second chapter of Netflix's animated Godzilla trilogy — watch online on iFILM. Directed by Hiroyuki Seshita and Kobun Shizuno, with voice work from Mamoru Miyano and Yuki Kaji.

Humanity limped back to Earth after millennia in deep space, only to get flattened by Godzilla in the first film. Now a scattered group of survivors stumbles onto something unexpected: the ruins of Mechagodzilla, a mechanical weapon built to fight the monster and destroyed tens of thousands of years ago. The nanometal it was made of never stopped functioning. It's been quietly growing — and has consumed an entire city.

The second installment trades jungle survival for something more unsettling: a weapon that may be as dangerous as the enemy it was designed to kill. Fans of mecha anime will find a lot to work with here. Stream Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle (2018) online on iFILM.
