Certainly a diamond once polished enough. Sure there are some weird bits here and there (small typos, possible OOC moments, etc.), but the story itself is very good over all.
When two stories have a crossover, there is often a big fear that one franchise will overshadow the other, such as two superheroes sharing a title and one seemingly being much more competent and powerful than the other. When mixing in something like MLP with a legion of juggernauts like the kaiju, one would think it might fall into this trap; but is does manage to avoid it. Yes the kaiju as they stand are far more powerful than most anything in Equestria, but this is balanced by the MLP roster knowing how their world works, the kaiju being in a forms more on their level most of the time; and the kaiju needing the MLP roster to achieve their full potential.
In some ways I'd say its more a Godzilla story set in Equestria, given that the majority of the villains hail from the kaiju world; but this is balanced by us spending a lot of time with the native Equestrians in dealing with the conflict.
Now I'll say something flat out. This story's version of Godzilla is a superhero. If you came for the destroyer of worlds and walking apocalypse, go read 'Born of Rage'. That said, the way it is presented is in a fairly believable manner and I've grown to love it. For one it's made very clear the version of the Big G used is one from the films we know is a benevolent force, being the adult Godzilla Junior from the Heisei series. And secondly, the way he acts does seem believable that the youngster we saw aging in the 90s series would grow up to be like this given his situations and personality. If he had a voice, he probably would act and talk like what is shown.
Gore - Very moderate. Death is present and there is some blood and wounds, but not over something of a PG-13 rating.
Sexual themes - Almost entirely averted, if not completely made fun of. Still, we do get some jokes in one chapter about it.
Violence - Nothing too much higher than what was in the kaiju films, PG.
Story Telling - A bit complex and might be hard to keep up with for new fans at first, but a lot gets explains in story and on author blogs.
Safe for fillies? - Fairly. It's pretty clean without getting immature.
Not Perfect, but Surprisingly on Target
