Does anyone else think Greeza's 2nd form looks more threatening than the last one? The armor takes away a lot of the creepiness.

The spikes seems overdone that it passes the point of threatening and goes into laughable. Good thing, it's white-and-blue since if it's black-and-red, it's going into chuuni/edgy territory.

The edgiest thing about the show is that the main 4 worked for some MIB-style organization in a dystopian world and solved secret cases. It was barely edgy. The show's ED had more edge than the actual show, and its ending was downright sappy.

It seemed a little less regional considering they mentioned an expedition to some island somewhere.
Actually, this whole episode was weird with how the Science Patrol had no objection to carrying a monster into Japan when they should know how stupidly dangerous that would be from experience and the Beta Capsule suddenly falling out during a fight even though that never happened before.

So next week is X final episode?

The translation is correct. It's just that episode being silly. The kid even knew the Beta Capsule belongs to Ultraman and gave it to Hayata.

Tsubaraya has been very good to their overseas audiences. Ultraman Retsuden has been available worldwide via youtube for at least three years. But they are also tangled by a legal matter with another party concerning the rights to their older series. Generally, any appearance of those older series are restricted outside Japan.

I am surprised they actually had more than one Musketty. I wish they used the tank and jet together at some point.

Dan is kind of chubby fit, he's fit to an extent but still has some noticeable fat on him. Doesn't help that the hideous outfit (MAC uniform worst uniform) just gives him a double-chin with that collar.

You can see Dan's chest actually bounce a bit in that episode of Seven, where he ran shirtless.
>inb4 'why are you paying attention to Dan's titties, Anon?'
>>
>>13645947
Dan got a lot fatter on Leo though. He had a thin face on Seven
>>
>>13645947

Why did you see Dan's shirtless scene loop over and over, anon?

>>13645086

Yeah, they show there are two car in the hangar all the time but always use only one.

Maybe the reason is because they just don't have enough pilot. Asuna is able to pilot the tank. But in Xio's eyes, Daichi is just a weak kid and can't handle the burden of piloting. Not to mention, as he is an important member of researching team, they can't actually put him in danger by joining combat with the monster.

Sorry for my bad english.
>>
>>13645947
Handsome guys on the 60s/70s didn't have six packs like modern actors and they have some fat. See Sean Connery or William Shatner.

The jet is usually piloted by Wataru and Hayato, though.

Still, the have a deficit of members who are capable of piloting at a moment's notice.

>>13649818
At this point it's obvious that viewership and toy sales aren't stopping Tsuburaya from making good toku. Mebius is a prime example of that. SHT has become the epitome of actual toy commercials without any kind of substance. Why would you wish that on Ultra?

>>
>>13649843
Toei heroes became bland toy commercials as a consequence of the shrinking viewership. Just a small example: Megaranger changed the sentai format of 20 mins to 24 because Bandai wanted more screentime for showing the toys and the Ohranger's fiasco was still an open wound. In fact, Carranger did barely better on ratings despite it's a fan-favorite now. Nevertheless, both Ohranger and Carranger got huge toys sales so Bandai has Toei by the balls. Also, Megaranger got a new timeslot on the sunday mornings, what eventually would mean the infantilization of the medium

A bigger viewership means more sponsors, less dependency on Bandai and the chance of taking risks
>>
>>13649843
Isn't that what Ginga was?
>>
>>13649878
Pandering or not, the long-running toku franchises get pretty repetitive, either in writing or in action work, so in practice it might not be that much better.

Noa > Shining Zero > Everyone else
>>
>>13653241
Doubt.
In Ultraman Ginga S: Showdown! Ultra 10 Warriors!! Noa went out of gas, dumb down into Nexus, and got sealed after fighting Etelger.
Shining Zero is Zero (including Cosmos and Dyna ability) fuses with Ultimate Egis. By adding numbers Shining Zero is more powerful than Noa.
>>
>>13653370
I'd still put Noa ahead of Shining Zero just due to how he was handled in Revenge of Belial. I know it sounds like an excuse, but I don't think they'd know how to write Noa at full power. At least Shining Zero, as broken as he can be, is a situational power-up.
>>
>>13653827
Shining Zero is not a situational power-up, but the next step of Zero. The day Plasma Spark has chosen him he is the next god in the universe.
In UGS movie he can change into Shining by his own will. The description says the key to change is his mental state syncing with the Ultimate Bracelet, and become one.
The only thing left is his ability to control the Shining Star Drive, the BS he pulled to fuck up time.

Daichi's parents are not "up there". They are inside the Xlugger.

Daichi's mom said there is no "noise" from the future at first, which means the world would have been destroyed by "unknown". She then found Xlugger and heard Daichi's voice. That confirms there is still a future through Xlugger.
Daichi's parents were vaporized with the NEVADA branch, but their "bonds" to their kid is strong and becomes part of Xlugger. The connection is being described as a rainbow. Whenever X becomes Exceed X, his parents are fighting by Daichi's side.

Greeza is able to absorb all kinds of energy, and the only thing that can harm it is the Xlugger itself for some reason. It really depends on who revives it and what kind of ability it will lose on the stage.
My bet it will be Ultraman King, the one who works with miracle, comes out to solve the problem.

>>13657321
For those who can't attend the show the TV end will be good. But since Ultraman stage shows are said to be canon in their universe the ending on stage will be the true final. Even the producer said in the interview that crossover with other Ultraman is the main part of X story in initial planning of the series. A final (excluding movie) without the others seem to be somewhat lacking based on their plan.

The video code GRET-15, that .gif is from part 02 I'm pretty sure (as I didn't bother with the other parts.)

It's kind of shit, like most Giga stuff. But again, I only watched it for the male not-Ultraman, so I'm biased most likely.

Hopefully it'll be released on DVD, like many stageshows.

Er, you're right.

To clarify, I was thinking more like what Kamen Rider often gets, which I guess is pretty unfair to compare to given how the franchise is doing a lot better than Ultraman nowadays. I just want common supplementary material that isn't stageshow-exclusive, basically.

The side-stories are no where as common as the stageshows, though.

I guess, but for Ultraman especially so.

We don't get direct-to-DVD/BD side material nearly as much as Kamen Rider, so we're pretty much stuck sideshows we'll never see unless you go in-person, excluding the annual sideshow DVDs (not sure if there are BD releases)

Mebius's cameos of old gang is pretty good. It make me want to try watching Ultraman series even more.

When i watch Mebius for the first time, I don't even know it has movies. So the episode 44 is the first time i saw Ace. On the episode's first half, when Seiji appeared, I thought, "What do this old man doing here?". Then after the episode + ending which is pretty touching, I immediately became Ace, Seiji and Yuuko's fan.

But Goh and Hayata's appearances didn't leave me a lot of impact back then. I don't even recognize Hayata when I watch Max. But after watching the original series, thinking back about the way Mebius's Mefilas's game of betrayal got busted, the cameo was pretty well done.

How Dan made an entrance was properly best of the four. A cowboy just appeared out of nowhere then even more sudden, he and Konomi were just making fire camp while Mebius was freezing to death.

Just finished original Ultraman, Anyone thought the final fight with Zetton is a little anticlimax?

I thought the final weapon of humanity would be a cannon from the base of SSSP. Not a extension for the handgun. And Zetton was OHK by that thing.

I thought it was pretty cool, actually. Even when Ultraman fell in battle, the SSSP were able to finish the fight for him.

>I thought the final weapon of humanity would be a cannon from the base of SSSP. Not a extension for the handgun. And Zetton was OHK by that thing.
Nah, that's not the SSSP's style. UGP had something like that, and it ended pretty badly for them.
That missile was some serious business, though. If they mass-produced that sucker, they'd never have to worry about monsters again.

The Gaia movie "Battle for Hyperspace" is pretty user-friendly. It's set in the real world and starts with little jimmy watching the latest episode of Gaia, then some stuff happens. As long as you can understand "Ultraman is a tv show that kids like" it's pretty accessible. I watched it w/ the same Rocky Horror cast that handled the KR ZO movie pretty well and they mostly like the Gaia movie too.
