Despite the fact that Godzilla is given title billing, his role is shockingly unimportant. On the one hand, his mere existence is the skeleton on which the entire plot hangs, but on the other, he lacks any characterization and is essentially indistinguishable from the other half-dozen named monsters which have suddenly emerged from the sea. I suppose the studio is simply borrowing his name recognition to try to reach a wider audience. However, if Godzilla is not the primary reason you are considering this show, then you may enjoy it quite a bit. The second half of the title, "Singularity Point" is the actual nexus of the plot.
A strange radio signal is emitted from Godzilla's skeleton, which seems to set in motion a series of global monster eruptions, bringing in their wake destruction and a mysterious red dust which seems to be gradually paving the way for their permanent planetary residence. Disparate groups of characters come together to try to eliminate this threat, and they eventually end up working together towards that end. One group has programmed a sentient AI which is controlling a humanoid mecha. A separate branch of that same AI is performing virtual assistant duties for a female researcher who is involved in studying/theorizing extra-universal beings. A third group recruits this researcher in their quest to unravel a continually deepening mystery surrounding new, 'impossible' materials linked to the monster emergence and the cryptic notes of a pioneer in the field from 50 years ago. The monster threat continues to accelerate as the mystery is gradually unraveled. There is much discussion of extra-dimensional objects intersecting with our own, and the strange ways that would appear to those of us accustomed to the laws of physics as we understand them. If you enjoy a story that explores a scientific topic by forcing the characters to engage with abnormal consequences, you will probably enjoy yourself here.
I personally enjoyed this a great deal. I happened to be researching series produced by studio Orange and decided to watch this series I'd never heard of before. I'm not a Godzilla fan in any significant way, but I do love a good science fiction story and always enjoy when a story can manage to make complicated concepts palatable to a general audience without sacrificing narrative momentum. I think Gunbuster's ability to weave a correct understanding of relativity into its narrative in a way which enhances the narrative itself and does not stop to have a character explain the mechanics is a particularly good example of this. Godzilla: Singular Point mainly explores the consequences of extra-dimensional intersections with our own dimension (although I get the sense that it fudges some of the actual mechanics to enable particular plot events). This does mean that much of the story takes place as extraordinarily rapid text exchanges between two characters, and short scientific briefings between other groups of characters, but they are never explaining to the audience directly, which is no small feat with a topic this complex.
The characters are not deep or well-developed, but are unique enough designs that it is easy to tell which plot threads and concepts will be in play once they show up on screen. For a story which is more interested in exploring a concept, this low level of characterization is tuned just right.
The animation itself is a blend of 3D CGI and 2D animation. Separately they are both high-quality, but there are many moments where the two don't quite mesh together (just enough to notice). However, the fact that these monsters are so jarringly different from the mainly 2D characters in terms of texture detail and sharpness could be considered internally logical since they are extra-dimensional in origin.
I found the opening title song to be a fun jam and the closing credits track to be serviceable, but difficult to differentiate from a host of similar J-Rock songs.
I suspect much of this series will evaporate from my memory and leave a vaguely positive residue and I don't think there's any deeper meaning or much to reward a re-watch, but I certainly won't hold that against it.
