Japan’s Green Monsters

Environmental Commentary in Kaiju Cinema

• “A valuable contribution to Godzilla studies, kaiju eiga, and ecocriticism. Their work should be considered alongside that of William Tsutsui, Chon Noriega, and Yoshikuni lgarashi as necessities for serious scholarship of Godzilla. The strength of this study is the way in which it considers all of the Godzilla, Mothra, and Gamera movies as parts of a continuum larger and more complex than its individual components and as examples of a genre that has been undervalued for far too long.”—SFRA Review

• “ Excellent job drawing connections…a useful volume for readers...successfully demonstrates that kaijū cinema provides a place for important conversations...[readers] will benefit from this book.”—Journal of Popular Film and Television

• “Detailed, scholarly and well-written…well worth reading and re-reading…definitely recommended”—G-Fan
