Toho Special Effects Official Visual Book vol.18 Anguirus
The "Toho SFX MOVIES AUTHENTIC VISUAL BOOK" series focuses on a single character—primarily one monster—from a specific work, compiling it into a dedicated volume. Featuring large, detailed images, this book allows readers to appreciate the texture, intricacy, and subtle design details of the character. Written descriptions are kept to a minimum, emphasizing a purely visual experience.
"Anguirus" is a Kaiju that appeared in "Godzilla Raids Again(1955)", the second film of the Godzilla film series. Anguirus was the Kaiju which had the battle with Godzilla first time. The film was shown in the United States in 1959 as "Gigantis, The Fire Monster". We hope you enjoy Anguirus's individual design with these snapshots and still pictures taken when they shot the film.
