I'd put money on it not having any. It's been release on Amazon Prime Japan to stream with zero subtitles. I can understand no English subs but it sucks that there doesn't seem to be any subs even for people hard of hearing.

Got hold of Minus One (without subs). You can pretty much tell what's going on by the action and peoples' emotions. I'm not sure the dialog in a kaiju movie is all that important. 
I think I recognized when a character says "We're screwed!" 
and there were a few "baka" ideas at the strategy meetings

Just saw Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. I honestly think that its the worst Monsterverse film. The worst story, the worst humans, the worst "kaiju", the worst action, honestly I can't think of anything it did that the other movies didn't do better.
Overall this was a very disappointing movie, I think the Monsterverse is just going on fumes at this point. They need a creative shake up but it doesn't feel like they're going to get it any time soon.
Even Mothra showing up didn't help, because its the gross "realistic" Monsterverse version. The focus on Kong really sucked, I tolerate him but I'm not a Kong fan so him having so much story focus and screentime was not idea, and then its mostly just bad anyway. The evil apes were boring, how did we go from King Ghidorah/Rodan and Mechagodzilla to a generic red haired ape, even the MUTOs were more interesting.
The humans were really bad. I actually liked most of the human stuff in Godzilla x Kong, but they're intolerable here. I'm glad that the stranger things girl is gone, but the podcast guy is just terrible and no one else was even slightly compelling.
I've never been so bored by a movie that technically featured Godzilla, even the 2014 movie had more going for it. I'd have even taken the Final fantasy human villains of KOTM over what we get in GxK.

The show is set in 2015 and so it fits very little. There is a little Easter egg to Godzilla vs Kong movie though
Fun fact: Emma, who has the @brianKangal account on IG, says that her pig Lily was used to the do voice of Shimo. She said that the person who fostered her before she got her worked on the sound of GxK and used Lily for Shimo's voice.
Godzilla x Kong is poised to overtake Skull Island as the highest grossing movie in the Monsterverse; and since it was made for less money than the previous entry, it stands to turn a bigger profit.
Okay, I'm cheating a little, as this is not a kaiju flick, but it didn't fit anywhere else, and in my experience there's a big overlap in interest, so:
Apparently still active B-Movie label Full Moon (remember those VHS days?) is about to release a new creature feature, "The Primevals", with Yetis and lizard people created with actual Stop Motion FX.

The big news of the day is that Godzilla Minus One has just unexpectedly been released on Netflix and for digital rental and purchase on various services. This includes the "Minus Color" version on the rental/purchase services, but Netflix won't have it until later in the summer.
Here in Germany, as well. It is weird how they did not announce it at all, but it's more than welcome. Hopefully there's still a physical release to come.
I'm noticing a lot of YouTube reaction videos popping up regarding Minus One, and it looks like most of them went and purchased a physical copy from Amazon Japan and it includes subtitles on the Blu-ray copy.
I'm wondering if the unexpected premiere is some sort of in-joke. After all, Godzilla usually attacks without warning...
Thanks for that news! It looks like Netflix has it available now, in Canada!
Can confirm Dutch Netflix also has it. Might watch it this afternoon.
Amazon Prime has both the color and B/W versions up to rent or buy on their website. Both come either subtitles or dubbed.
I also just found out that the filmmakers did their research as, aside from the two-three remaining carriers, the cruiser and four destroyers that appear in the film represent pretty much the last remaining warships of the IJN surface fleet that had not yet been decommissioned or scrapped.

I happened to watch the 2010 live-action Space Battleship Yamato movie from the same director just a week before, and it amuses me that both productions coincidentally feature ships named Yukikaze (Snowy Wind) -- the original one in G-1 and a future spaceship named for it in SBY (the ship commanded by Mamoru Kodai at the start of the story). It's also interesting how,
while they have a common sense of people banding together to fight for their home against desperate odds, they take entirely opposite points of view on the nobility of dying for one's cause.
@Christopher
The animated movie 'Final Yamato' also includes a destoyer named Yukikaze as part of the fleet escorting the Yamato against the wandering planet Aquarius.
The escorting fleet is modeled after the one used by the IJN in Operation Ten-Go, the suicide mission by the battleship Yamato against the American navy stationed off the island of Okinawa.
In the movie, as in real life, the destroyer Yukikaze is the only ship to survive the mission to take off survivors of the Yamato.
You can now add surviving against Godzilla to that list.
Oh, I thought the Yukikaze might have been one of the ships that was lost in Godzilla's climactic attack. I wasn't sure.
Anyway, here's my freshly posted blog review: https://christopherlbennett.wordpress.com/2024/06/02/thoughts-on-godzilla-minus-one-spoilers/
