...Cool, but one thing you forgot boy. Kaijus originated from the East, not the West. As such, the defnition and standards should be the ones set by the Asians, not the Muricans.

It's like the "Anime-Animation" thing. In Japan, Anime=Animation and all of it's kinds. It's just the Muricans that consider Anime as something different and, like with many things, have been trying to convince others that their way of seeing the subject is the right one.
