Godzilla: The Series is an American animated television series that premiered on FOX in 1998. Produced by Columbia TriStar Television, Adelaide Productions, andToho Entertainment, the show is a continuation of the 1998 film Godzilla. The story takes place in New York City and follows the adventures of Nick Tatopoulos, a scientist who survived the destruction caused by Godzilla in the 1998 film. The series is a blend of science fiction, action, adventure, and drama.

Tom Kennyvoices the lead character Nick Tatopoulos, a scientist who is the only person with extensive knowledge of Godzilla's behavior and biology. He works for the fictional organization HEAT, whose goal is to monitor and study the strange and dangerous creatures that frequently appear in New York City. Nick is joined by his colleagues: biologist Elsie Chapman (voiced by Brigitte Bako), telepathic researcher Randy Hernandez (voiced by Rino Romano), and quippy and materialistic agent Mendel Craven (voiced by Malcolm Danare).

Ian Ziering voices the voice of the series' antagonist, the leader of the organization known as the Tachyon Corporation, Cameron Winter, whose goal is to weaponize the creatures that HEAT encounters. Also providing vocal performances for the series are Paget Brewster as Audrey Timmonds, Charity James as N.I.G.E.L. (a robotic assistant), and Malcolm Danare as Craven's robot assistant, N.I.C.O. (which he constantly bickers with). Other notable voice actors that appear throughout the series include Frank Welker, Tara Strong, and Cree Summer.

The series is set in the aftermath of the film with Godzilla serving as a kind of heroic figure in its early episodes. The show initially kicks off with the events of the original 1998 film, with the HEAT team working to keep it under control. However, soon enough, a variety of new monsters begin popping up across New York City, and the HEAT team is called in to take them out. The series then follows the team as they face off against diverse species of giant, mutant creatures called ""mutates"" that are created through a mix of genetic engineering and radiation exposure.

As the series progresses, two primary narratives emerge: the first focuses on the HEAT team, their relationships and interactions with each other, and their battles against mutates that they encounter. In the second narrative, the Tachyon Corporation serves as a recurring antagonist, seeking to exploit the scientific discoveries of the HEAT team, framing them for various disasters and attempting to kidnap specimens of the mutates for experimentation.

The animation style of the show is a blend of traditional cell animation and computer-generated imagery. It features bright colors with detailed backgrounds and well-drawn character designs. The character animation is relatively simplified, but it suits the show's needs and adds to the fast-paced action that the show delivers.

The series is a great watch for those for who are fans of monster movies, sci-fi action-adventures, and superhero shows. Though aimed at a younger audience, the show still carries a sense of maturity in its storytelling that appeals to both the young and the old. The show has a great balance of humor, action, and drama that keeps the viewer engaged, and the characters are well fleshed out, making it easy to care about their issues and their experiences.

Overall, Godzilla: The Series is an action-packed animated series that is perfect for anyone who loves the Godzilla franchise or is just looking for a fun action-packed animated series. It's an energetic, fast-moving show that never fails to provide a thrill or a laugh, and its character-driven writing ensures that it stays engaging throughout.

Godzilla: The Series is a series that is currently running and has 2 seasons (40 episodes). The series first aired on September 12, 1998.
