## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Hokkaido, autumn. A meteor lands with a wet hiss.

Legion swarms from the crash site, pincers clicking over farmland. Gamera answers Asagi’s desperate call but the fight against the hive fractures his fragile ties.

Kaneko’s kaiju opera cranks childhood breathlessness into ecological unease.

**Mood tags**: foreign-gem, epic, neon-soaked, playful, surreal
