Ah, 'The God of Clay'... it’s an interesting piece in the tokusatsu realm, you know? Produced by Dream Planet Japan and Marbling Fine Arts, it carries a unique vibe that resonates with fans of kaiju cinema. The film's pacing is quite deliberate, almost meditative at times, allowing that sense of unease to build. The practical effects are where it shines—there’s something about the texture and weight of the creatures that feels refreshingly tactile compared to today’s CGI-heavy productions. Koichi Kawakita's touch is evident, even if he stepped in to finish it after Sugimoto. It’s a love letter to the genre with themes of creation and destruction woven into its core, drawing inspiration from that children’s book. Definitely a noteworthy watch for those invested in kaiju history.
