As you can see here on Netflix, Gamera: Rebirth is now streaming, and you can watch the anime either subbed or dubbed. Produced by Kadokawa Corporation and ENGI, Gamera: Rebirth marks the start of a new era at Netflix. After all, the show is Gamera’s first for the streaming service, and it follows in the steps of Godzilla. After all, the King of the Monsters has had a number of projects head to Netflix, so now Gamera is getting some love.

If you are not familiar with Gamera, the kaiju has been around for decades. The fictional beast was first introduced to fans in 1965 with Gamera, the Giant Monster. The movie was created to compete with Toho’s massive hit Godzilla. Since Gamera was introduced, the kaiju has become a legend in their own right, and the prehistoric turtle has fans everywhere.

In recent decades, Gamera has enjoyed a definite surge in the United States. The monster was greatly overshadowed by Godzilla for years, but Gamera made itself known stateside in the 1970s. In the 1990s, Gamera became a recognizable movie monster courtesy of pop culture nods in Mystery Science Theater 3000. However, Gamera projects dwindled in the 2000s as the monster only released a single film between 2000 and 2022. Now, Netflix has revived Gamera with a new project, and the anime promises to energize the titan’s fandom.
