I'll watch along with Netflix release, watched two episodes and want to write here me theory: Takahashi is not an alien, despite having unusual powers.
Maybe is a false flag, but for now I say it's obvious, isn't it? It's hinted at the very first scene, his powers comes from Mount Fuji. And that's why I also suspect that Kiyomi will have acquire some powers, there are some hints to this possibility.
I don't think the ending makes sense, the last scene. Shouldn't be Yi An (Ean) to go back to the past, after all she is originally from the past, and she would be back and the right physical age she should be. Neung Pa could even tell her what was her original identity, who her mother was.
I don't think "payoff" of Muruk going back to should "taxi" worked, it was cheap and dumb. Yi An (Ean) has nothing "left to do" in the present and there's no way Muruk can live decently in the present.
Hum... I can say that I liked this movie but in the end if felt pointless. I imagine with the longer TV version has more to it at the end.
And without ironies and cynicism, for a "musical" movie maybe half made to promote the singer, this movie have have a bit "too much music", and excesso of music in some moments.
ps: this movie suffers A LOT at the middle after Suzu Hirose's character vanishes.
Yuki's testimony was a very BAD defense. It made it look like she asked Hidemaru to kill the guy. Oh boys, it's another case of a japanese movie with a "speech" in the end that when you think about it doesn't say what needs to be said or doesn't make much sense.
Anyway, there's no way Hidemaru can escape conviction, it was premeditated murder.
It's an interesting movie, as expected from what I know of Susumu Hani, but I failed to understand what this movie is about. Unless that what happened is not what happens in the story...
I feel this movie is unbalanced. And it's story and in the acting opportunities. Minori Hagiwara gets the best role to how her acting, and it's good. Yui Imaizumi gets nothing. Maybe because she was an ex-idol the production didn't trust her to deliver a good performance, she doesn't even get the opportunity to try (and apparently no one gave her better opportunities after this movie, a pity). Ai Yoshikawa gets in the middle, in both opportunities and results.
Tell me, what does Godzilla represents in Minus One? This is something that I disliked about this movie, this version of Gojira. Felt just like "an animal", aimless. A poor creature that was a bit confused and as put down by the humans that couldn't live with it.
There's a scene that suggests it went ashore because it was hit by murrican nuclear tests, but if so he was just a bit annoyed and that was it. Didn't acted or felt like "a force" giving his usual judgment. And how could this Gojira do this? After all, "they did nothing wrong

This is a good show, and it's obvious Takahashi isn't an alien, which makes me expect if Kiyomi will also gain some power.

Glad I was wrong.
But still...

Taeko was played like a fiddled.
edit: actually, I noticed but had forgotten!

So, this is what Gojira means, the tittle?
