Well, we finally made it to the Greek alphabet. Twenty-two named storms this year. However, Alpha is such a boring name. I think we should get the naming people to follow this list instead.
Tropical Storm Anguirus, followed by Battra, Destoroyah, Ebirah, Fairy Mothra, Godzilla, Hedorah, Jet-Jaguar, King Ghidorah, Mothra, Orga, Rodan, Super Mechagodzilla, Titanosaurus, Varan, and Zigra.

Yeah, but that thread doesn't have a list of Japanese movie monsters.

Heh, you're right. This one wins. See? It's already got more replies than the other one. It's Thread Natural Selection.
I take full credit for that phrase should it begin to take on popularity.

Somebody told me I should have included Yonggary, but I say that being Korean, Yonggary doesn't get included.

I can't wait until we see Tropical Storm Zappa. That needs to be added after Wilma.
