Gappa Angry - Tumblr Posts

Looks like we’re doing my spirit animal this week.  Is there any truth that the original Japanese version of Gappa was a comedy?

The second one looks eerily close to my icon, and it seems to be higher quality.  I might have to steal it.  Though it is in black and white, with writing at the top.  Also the banner is the one that actually needs to be replaced, and it took a long time to manually edit the glare out of the icon picture.  Decisions... decisions...

Gappa, for the younger, Edgier Crowd.

Yeah, no shit.

Do you think the swiveling, 60 degree fire coverage on Gappa’s breath weapon was intentional, or was it just result of limited footage?

We always need more Gappa in our lives.

Gappa, The Triphibian Monster (1967)

This remains one of my favorite Kaiju Movie trailers.

GAPPA!!! trailer in the highest possible quality.

Finally...

After years of nigh-unwatchable “public domain” releases by the likes of Alpha Video and Retromedia, Gappa the Triphibian Monster is coming to Blu-ray and DVD via Tokyo Shock on February 25. The company previously issued it on DVD in 2000, but it was non-anamorphic and is long since out of print. Knowing how Tokyo Shock’s recent kaiju releases have gone, however, best to snap this one up fast before it suffers the same fate.

I’m listening...

I love the way ebay sellers brains work. Nobody is buying a gappa the triphibian monster poster for 300 dollars no matter how old it is
