![]() ![]() The re-revived series has aimed to return to Gamera's roots in the 1960's, once again presenting Gamera as "friend of all children". Kaneko also introduced a more integrated approach to the kaiju genre and raised the bar for all kaiju films. The revived series directed by Shusuke Kaneko featured a more mature approach although Gamera had a psychic connection with a teenage girl. ![]() Strangely, the original Gamera films features more gore and gross damage to the monsters then the Godzilla films ever attempted. The children sometimes would help Gamera either by cheering him on or in a more disgusting case, going into his body and fighting a parasite infection. Gamera films usually revolved around turtle loving children put in peril by aliens until their rescue by Gamera. The original Gamera series quickly aimed for the 5 to 8 year old set after two attempts at the standard "adult" monster film typified by the Godzilla series (although these kept lowering the age bracket with each film). ![]()
