On his 60th birthday, Godzilla becomes painful reminder of Fukushima

Japan’s favourite kaiju – the 60-year-old Godzilla – is simply too painful a reminder of the Fukushima nuclear disaster for his motherland, and may never return home again.

He’s dark and lumbering, crashing through cities and destroying them with swipes of his massive tail and blasts of radioactive breath. Godzilla is back on the rampage, roaring and stomping, for the first time in ten years.
