I was watching a Ninja Turtles episode from the 1987 series, the episode was called Shredder and Splintered, where Krang Punches a building and then one of the turtles (Raphael) says, Oh where's GODZILLA we really need him.
When I was two, my Mom and Dad were watching Godzilla 2000, and I when I went into the living room, my eyes lit up. I have been a Godzilla purist ever since. I am 13 now, and I know more about Godzilla than anyone in my school by far.
FOR SCIENCE OF COURSE!
It was Christmas and me and my sister were opening presents and my Dad turns on GMK and fast forward seven years and now I own everysingle Godzilla movie and almost every monsters action figure.

When I first heard the name Godzilla was the 1998 one, but then I moved on to well, the Japanese version of him in the movie, Godzilla vs King Kong and I was hooked on Japanese version from then on.

I watched the 1998 movie religiously when I was very small. Then, my awesome parents showed me the Toho flicks, and it all started from there. Now, I know more about Godzilla and co. more than anyone in my family and in school. :)

it's interesting because I don't actually know when I first heard Godzilla's name. I know I was conscious of him when the 1998 US version came out so I can only presume that he is so deeply engrained in popular culture that I couldn't help but know about him. Maybe games like Rampage were responsible, who knows?
Just saw some of the movies in the TV in the afternoon. It was son of Godzilla and next week there was Destroy all monsters.
I really enjoyed this Monster Fights and was I liked the costumes. They showed all the movies of the Showa Series, really cool.
The first time I heard the name Godzilla was when I was a little kid, either 4 or 5, back in the early 90's. I was watching cartoons one day and I remember it was my first time seeing Scooby Doo, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, and then it was my first time seeing Godzilla who was this giant fire breathing dinosaur who protected the people on this boat and had a sidekick named Godzookie. That cartoon was my first time hearing of and seeing Godzilla... a year or two later when we moved I went to the video store and rented my first ever film- Godzilla vs. Mothra (the original one). From then on I was hooked,
