Ultraman's a dieing series.
>>13964524
Ultraman has 2 fans, Anno and Will Smith
Every Ultraman thread is just them samefagging
>>13964547
Anno go home and make Godzilla not shit
>>13964547
you forgot Del Toro
>>13964583
Del Taco is too busy begging for Pacific Rim 2. Now that have been greenlighted, maybe Del Taco would spend some time on /m/
>>13964547
>>13964583
Also Sompote. Unfortunately, it's only so he can steal it when people stop caring about it.
>>13964602
oh i ruva da urtlaman
>>13964524
You spelled Dying wrong
>>13964685
Who'd dye Ultraman?
I just started watching Ultraman, am I dying?
also are there bluray subs for the 1966 series or no
>>13964748
No, there isn't any, just the old English DVD rips that Mdinight Crew Subs did.
>>13964748
>watching Ultraman.
>>13964770
thank you friend
also why is that hasn't those blurays been out for a while
does no one care about ultraman?
>>13964791
>does no one care about ultraman?
Anno does but he's only one neckbeard
>>13964791
Well, since Crunchy Roll has been uploading a bunch of the older and newer stuff, it's getting more into the eye of the public. Shame that Chaiyo has a vice grip on UltraQ, Man, Seven, Return, Ace and Taro though. Hell, they even have a vice grip on Jumborg Ace.
>>13965014
At least Ace is getting scrubs (even though the person in question has to attend school).
>>13965040
Chaiyo owns Ace's ass though.
>>13964524
It'll day, the same as Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers did over here.

>>13965444
By ending it.
>>13965444
Just bring Anno and give him creative freedom over a 26 episodes Ultra show.
>>13965436
Ultraman will officially die along with his adult autistic fandom. While nips can easily live until 80 or 90 years old, the neckbeards have a very unhealthy way of life so probably they'll have a short lifespan
...It just had a series last season
>>13965415
Not that it'll stop him.

Ratings that mean nothing cause it was released on youtube in conjunction with the telecast. Most people caught it at their leisure online.

SEBUN! SEBUN! SEBUN!
So, I know this is a troll thread and all, but do the folks replying totally not remember the showa era, when there was a 6 year gap between seasons? How about the 16 years before Tiga? They did a lot of recap stuff then too.
>>13965616
The youtube views are pretty low. Even the fanarts on Pixiv are few and many are group photos with other Ultras
>>13965566
>With ratings below 1%
Where are you getting this information from? People are parroting this line but there has been no hard data for X's ratings.
>Most people caught it at their leisure online.
Older fans, yeah, but Japan in general is really behind on streaming and make it a "thing" so the people that mattered probably didn't see it there.
Either way, there's a new Ultraman series in July, so it's by no means dead.
>>13966067
That new show will be followed by the same old neckbeard demographic unless Japanese children are tied to chairs and force to watch a la A Clockwork Orange
>>13966067
Don't even bother man.
This>>13966093 guy has been spewing the same shit for months now. He even has a screen cap of A Clockwork Orange to go with this post
Just enjoy the show. Don't bother defending it because the more we defend it the more trolls get their dicks stroke
>>13966093

Why there is always a guy who speaks those things in every thread. Seriously, you need to find a hobby other than google rating and flaming all the time.
>>13965566
Do you ever stop shitposting? I don't even think you're an Ultraman fan, you just want to piss people off and create some new "Ultraman is dying u gaiz" meme. Fuck off.

>It was planned as a direct-to-video special, but the reaction to X was good so they decided to release theatrical and needed padding
OK, now you explain why they would make a movie at all if it was such a disaster.
Ultraman is its own science, its hard to tell whats considered successful or not:
Ultraman Nexus and Ultra Galaxy were the best selling Ultra toylines in the past 10 years, yet the shows (at least Nexus) are considered failures.
Ultraman Zero had two of the most successful Ultra movies, yet his toy-sales were some of the worst.
>>13967585
Spider-man has had a string of bad movies and unsuccessful shows in the past decade. No one claims that "Spider-Man is dieing"
>>13967601
Both Amazing Spider-Man movies still made over $700 million worldwide. That's on par with Guardians of the Galaxy. The only reason why one is considering a smash hit and the other a failure is because Spider-Man had high expectations that it failed to meet while Guardians had low expectations and demolished them.
At any rate, I don't think any Ultraman movies made $700 million worldwide. The lack of any real distribution outside of Japan certainly doesn't help matters.
>>13967601
>>13967611
You cant really compare how things in America work to how they're done in Japan. Both cultures have too different sensibilities and values. Even if you look at Japan you can see the different approaches: Toei (constant reinvention) vs. Tsuburaya (strengthening nostalgia)... while in the US everyone follows Marvels "cinematic-universe" footsteps. Ultraman is worth keeping alive for the strong brand value alone: Ultraman has its own restaurant franchise, clothing brand for adults, festivals, the characters are regularly licensed by other companies for promotion and advertising etc.
>>13967611
>The only reason why one is considering a smash hit and the other a failure is because Spider-Man had high expectations that it failed to meet
Thank you for repeating my point back to me, it shows you comprehend what I'm trying to say. Every franchise has highs and lows. Ultraman isn't going anywhere.

>>13968115
I don't think it's accurate to break down year-end financial results and assign the relative success to that year's series. For example, Nexus also aired the same year as the Ultraman movie and it's possible that some of 2008's success was due to Mebius. Likewise, Max ran in an anniversary year, so some of 2006's results could be due to that.
>>13968308
>I don't think it's accurate to break down year-end financial results and assign the relative success to that year's series. For example, Nexus also aired the same year as the Ultraman movie
The japanese fiscal year ends in march.
2005
FY 3/2004 - 3/2005
Nexus 10/2004 - 6/2005
So yea, the year covers most of Nexus run... sure, the movie (Ultraman The Next) came out the same year, but then again it was a prequel to the tv-show.
>and it's possible that some of 2008's success was due to Mebius. Likewise, Max ran in an anniversary year, so some of 2006's results could be due to that.
no

Max 7/2005 - 4/2006

isn't ultraman just a man in a suit?
>>13968576
The same could be said of all Toku
So, what series are left to be picked up by crunchyroll that aren't in Chaiyo's grasp?
>>13968697
Joenius, Great, Powered, Tiga, Cosmos and (unfortunately) Ultra Seven X. Depending on your definition for series, you can count Neos and the Ultra Seven movies as well.
>>13968513
>no
A child's interest in character goods does not cease at the end of fiscal year. It's a good measure of the IP's health in general, but it's a poor measure of individual characters and shows.
What is this? A repackaging of the last transformations devices or they can also combine in some way?
>>13968736
How about Dyna and Neo-Ultra Q?
Those are the ones I'm interested the most(not the anon you're replying to btw)
>>13969010
It's a set of smaller devices, with the gimmicks taken out. Sets like these are pretty common, designed for kids. Sometimes they light up or make noise but it wouldn't be able to scan cards or anything.
>>13968576
He was actually a real life giant alien that Tsuburaya hired off the streets
>>13969021
Oh yeah, forgot about Dyna. Not sure if they'll do Neo-Ultra Q and Ultra Q Dark Fantasy, but we'll see. On that note, I suppose you could also toss in every non-Ultra Tsuburaya show that isn't Jumborg Ace.
So is Kurobe voicing Ultraman or not? Whoever told us about the recap shit should know, right?
>>13969758
Is that guy's info even legit?
>>13969850
I sure as fuck hope not, but it's all we have aside from the couple of seconds of footage Tsuburaya's been uploading daily.
>>13969881
What he said about the ending had me hyped though
is Ultraman for sexualize?

>>13970617
I like how the guy's Taro looks like a hypothetical Taro X.
Just needs more abs.
>>13970883
And PGSM killed Nexus.
Truly Sailor Moon is the true culprit of Ultraman's demise.

Does Sebbun ever becomefunlike Ultraman? Should I skip to Return?
Is it a good idea to watch ultraman production order?
Also; why did so many people heat Ultraseven X or whatever that show was called?
>>13964524
Is it? If so, that's a shame. I've only watched half of Nexus but it's pretty cool and I have Tiga on my HD somewhere. I remember seeing a screencap of Zero with him looking at the multiverse and thought it was a really cool representation of how all the universes work - they were like bubbles or liquid droplets splitting off and attaching etc. and that made me want to watch it
What's generally considered the "best"? I see a lot of praise for Seven
>>13974861
The last two eps of Seven are considered some of the best toku ever made imo.
I wouldn't call it fun, but it is epic in the pre-/b/ sense of the word.
>>13974861
There are some amusing episodes sometimes, like the one with Cap Muramatsu's actor coming back as a guy that has his identity erased.
>>13975156
Yes, especially since the M78 continuity has various Ultras return from time to time. The only problem is that Ace isn't fully-scrubbed yet and its bootleg subs aren't on the Internet like Taro's. Also, make sure you live in a country/region that lets you watch Ultraman on CR, though, because Gaia is exclusive to that for now.
>>13974606
Like he said, English dyes all languages.
>>13964524
I will always love Ultraman. Im watching 80 now, and I will never stop loving this franchise.
>>13975189
>What's generally considered the "best"? I see a lot of praise for Seven
For older shows
>Ultraman, Ultra Seven, Ultraman Leo
Man is the original and made in a great style that holds up, each episode is basically a mini-movie. Seven is a much more serious take on the hard-scifi aspects of the genre and less about superheroics. Leo has great martial arts action and a lot of dark story elements. Check out the first episode and tell me that ending doesn't play like the penultimate to any other series.
For newer shows
>Gaia, Nexus, Mebius
Gaia's the one with a story heavy structure and was the first Ultraman to do that while Nexus has a much more adult tone while still being optomistic about what makes Ultraman a cool hero. Mebius is basically the best possible way to do the anniversary aspect - great set of new characters who learn and interact with past heroes from time to time but are never outshone or made to look like they can never like up to the past.
Those are what I've seen brought up as the best in my time around the internet but I'd also throw my hat in the ring for Dyna. Dyna's first half is a comedic take on the franchise before ramping up into this dramatic story. It seems like Tsuburaya's goal was to make you fall in love with the characters via their antics and then just throw every bad thing possible at them to give you the feels.

Is Ultraman generally a younger audiences / family-targeted show like most of the popular toku, or are there more adult themes in certain series? I've never seen it
>>13983474
The former (a bit of both, really), although the older entries were overall more violent. Series that can appeal to older viewers are Seven in general and Nexus.
>>13983474
My 1 year old son likes watching it with me so I think it has a broad appeal.
>>13983674
Practically my whole family watches. Even my mother-in-law likes it.
>>13983691
Yeah my wife likes watching the newer stuff like X and Mebius, she isn't a big fan of the showa era stuff, which is a shame.
>>13983474
The great thing about Ultraman is that Tsuburaya isn't afraid to be bold in experimenting.
Ultraman is pretty much the same audience as Kamen Rider and Sentai but there are exceptions. Ultraman Nexus seems to have been a show originally intended for teens and older audiences. Ultra Seven X was a straight up 2 AM show meant for adults.
The original Ultra Seven is heavy in hard sci-fi, so I imagine there is a lot about the underlaying structure of the plots that would appeal to an older audience.
(then you have stuff like the Ultra Galaxy and Ultra Q shows where the monsters are the main attractions and there are next to no Ultraman appearances)
Can I jump on with Ultraman X without any prior knowledge? Is the Ultra series like Sentai and Heisei Rider in that there is little continuity between series, or do they expect you to have watched previous series?
>>13985401
There isn't much continuity between them but they do have tribute episodes. Recent Ultra shows have more tribute episodes.
Most of the Kaiju featured are also directly lifted from the old shows.

I really want to get into these Tokusatsu series. It's a shame that many of them have incomplete subs or haven't been subbed at all.
>>13987157
Ultraman, Ultra Seven, Tiga, Gaia, Nexus, Mebius, Max, Ginga, Ginga S, and X all have official subs. You have no excuse.
>>13986794
>>13986828
I was wondering what the context of this fanart was
>>13987157
All of them but like, Dyna and heisei Seven have subs.
Also shit like Ultra Nyan, but who cares about that
Some tidbits of information for your enjoyment
-Man, Seven, Jack, Ace, and Leo were supposed to be in Saga. The scene got cut from the film but made into Retsuden
-Ginga was originally meant to be Gaia's 15th anniversary. MC was supposed to be a university student where Gamu is a professor
-Later due to Fourze being in high school, Ginga was redesigned into middle schooler(? Really?)
-Ginga has a lot of mountain shots for the same reason. Middle school buildings are smaller, which proportion-wise would make Ginga around 30 meters tall, whereas most of Ultramen are around 40 to 50
-UltrLive was once UltLight and UltRise, but changed to live. Light was then used as Hikaru's name (Rai in Raidou)
-Ginga's official height is often fudged around due to the above mentioned proportion thing
-Lugiel took cues from Dark Lucifer. His origin of being the opposite of Ginga came from someone in Ginga S's production team noticing that his Spark Doll looked like Ginga's
-Ginga S originally had a black Ginga as a potential villain, then a dark Taro who got brainwashed by Alien Chibu
-Sakamoto wanted Saga to appear in the Ginga S movie, but that plan panned out
-Xio is a Portuguese word
-Every team since GUTS used leather for the uniform, which gets hot in summer filming. XIO is the first to use cloth/cotton
-X is based on an armored Man instead of Seven
-X's headphone ears came from TRON
-The first few fights of X had a lot of clumsy movements not unlike how Man crouches his back. This is meant to show Daichi and X are not in sync yet. Later on all the fight scene were directed by Sakamoto
-Xanadium Beam was named after Xanadu and Doom
-Ludian was designed after Shiba Inus and the dog from Casshern. He was originally supposed to be a Golden Imperializer, but since Imperializer appears too often Ludian was created. His suit was recycled from Alien Reflector and Imperializer
http://bbs.ultramanclub.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=162134&extra=page%3D1
>>13987217
Also the scene where X's color time hits the ground after Greeza rapes him is a callback to Seven's crucifixion scene.
>>13987187
Also, let's not forget about Leo and 80 (not to mention that Jack/Return, Taro and Cosmos have acceptable crabstick subs).
That manga by the guys who did Linebarrel is pretty damn cool. Just bought the fourth volume not an hour ago.
>>13987217
Can you please tell me what it says about Houlinga?
>>13987217
>-Every team since GUTS used leather for the uniform, which gets hot in summer filming. XIO is the first to use cloth/cotton
I'm really glad they did this. Leather doesn't always work with the colors they picked, like that dull grey in Mebius.
>>13987229
I knew I forgot about one showa series senpai. It's a little embarrassing that I forgot about two of them.
>>13987475
Houlinga is based on some Japanese mythology. It was changed to a plant monster from a waste(? dumpster?) monster
The suit came from one of Seven X's monsters, while the mouth flower is from Mebius.
It was originally supposed to be the fatass floating monster from Max, but was redesigned into its own monster
So, anything on the movie yet?
>>13974606
>I'm pretty sure English will outlive America
Impossible. America has already killed English. Australians now speak Americanese and it's only a matter of time until even the poms start saying 'elevator' instead of 'lift', 'candy' for anything sweet and start spreading 'jelly' on bread.
English is dead and Theodore Roosevelt is to blame.

I hear that. I watched about half the series then stopped because there was other stuff on my priority list. I was pleasantly surprised at how competent and on top of things GUTS tended to be, especially because most support squads in Ultra shows end up being glorified cheerleaders for the Ultra.

Spoilers if you haven't figured out the film alreadyAntler and Golza are summoned by the movie kaijuThe kid becomes TigaMan is summoned from the crystal orb seen in the filmsThe others are summoned by cardsThe scene where Man fights a million Baltan is a legend told by Guruman about the original protector of universeX leaves in the end to protect the universe, but come back to Xio because some shit is about to go down on earth again
Nothing you didn't already know. Tsuburaya playing it safe as usual. Time to wait for July

I don't understand what you're trying to say. Are you asking if them moving Retsuden's time slot would allow him to buy the franchise or something?
If that's what you're asking, no, that doesn't even make sense.
>>13995799
>>13995870
It was only released in 50 theaters. That's actually pretty good.
>>13996293
>Man is summoned from the crystal orb seen in the films
I thought Guruman was transforming into Ultraman?

>>13996852
Because people keep responding, ya dingus!
>>13996394
It's an egg and chicken situation. It runs on 50 theaters because the distributors knew only the hardcore ultrafags would watch the movie
Currently on episode 14 of Gaia.
Does the show pick up more later on? It's not a bad show or anything, but I was expecting something a bit better from the praise it has received.
>>13997803
I think you'll have to slog it out a bit longer. Much like Tiga, the more interesting eps take a little while to get to.
>>13997946
Alright, thanks.
Actually haven't seen Tiga yet, but it took me a while to really get into Cosmos
Will Mebius ever stop being a fun ride /m/? The fact that it's the next series I watched after 80 just makes it feel even better.
>>13999081
It's fun but after Mebius, they decided that all subsequent Ultras need to be tribute shows with heavy, direct references to past Ultras, and that isn't always good.
I wonder if we'll ever get an original Ultraman again...
>>13997485
Taking in consideration the lack of fanarts and fan-videos and the low views on youtube, many of those ultrafags didn't watch X and go to see the movie just for loyalty to the franchise and seeing their favorite Ultra's cameo
>>13999081
I just watched Mebius once more time last month and still couldnt get enough of it. Mirai and his crew are just too likable. Plus all those amazing cameos! Mustache!Dan is best Dan.
Will Igarashi come back this year, /m/?
>>13999141
Oh shit we get more Dan? HYPE
>>13999081
It's best to top it off with Superior 8 Ultra Brothers. The feels won't stop.

When you get to the 80 episode you're gonna cry. I've never seen 80 and that episode made me nostalgic for 80.
I want there to be a chimp that gets Ultraman powers.

a chimp-out ain't very heroic, but if that's your fetish that's fine
>>14000319
No, the chimp out is how it flies the jet.
I've been reading the manga. It's... okay I guess. The main character is more Kamen Rider (or Iron Man) than Ultraman and it's pretty standard shonen manga faire.
I was playing Super Hero Generation the other day and I really like the design of Ultraman Mebius. Do I have to have watched other Ultraman series in order to enjoy Mebius? Only one I've seen is Nexus
>>14000621
Mebius is a pretty good starting point, it introduces you to the older ultras.
>>13987217
>-Xio is a Portuguese word
I'm brazilian and never heard it in my life.
Where did you get that information?
>>14001220
I would guess probably japan
>>13977027
If the suit design doesn't have a capsule/gashapon motif like Kamen Rider Birth I'm going to be pissed
>>13999740
Well, not anymore.
>>14000621
You don't have to. But do keep it in mind that after Mebius gets his first upgrade form, go watch movie Mebius & Ultraman Brothers.
If they got into a fight, would Ultraman be able to fight the Sentai?
>>14004356
That depends, are we talking a team of 3, 5 or more?
>>14004356
Pretty much all of them. Who the winner would be is a total crapshoot though.
King would probably clean house on most Sentai though.
>>14004356
The fuck would they fight for? Rights to abuse a poor monster?

Really? I didn't know but I'm still not ashamed. My love for Zoffy is pure.

That was surprisingly uninspired, but thanks for the info.
>>14008059
Type A was originally supposed to have a moving mouth. Sometimes you can see fucking TEETH in it. He was also supposed to vomit flames and a silver liquid at one point.
>>14008110
>a silver liquid at one point
My mom found this old photo of me and my sweet Ultraman drawing, thought you guys might appreciate it.
>>14011212
Ur bretty talented, keep up the good work.
Are all the Ultramans set in the same universe, or are some of them standalone?
>>14011852
Generally speaking, the latter. All the Ultras up to 80 (plus Mebius) are in one universe, while most Heisei series are all in their own continuities except for the Seven specials (which is a different timeline following after OG Seven) Tiga and Dyna. Don't recall which universes Joenius, Great, Powered and USA fit in, though.
>>14011857
>>14011867
Thanks. Guess I'll start with Mebius based on that chart, or maybe Tiga.
>>14012040
Those biceps though.

Jesus Christ, I knew Ultraseven was more adult-oriented, but...

Man, Hokuto looked so badass in that scene and the scene before that. I wish he has a series to comebank like UltraSeven X.

They do mention Jonias in 80, but there wasn't a lot of continuity oversight back then.

Some people, they just age well, like fucking top-quality Pinot noir.
I'm watching Ultraman 80 and it's the first series of the franchise that I decided to watch. Should be just my impression, but why people do not talk much about it?
I mean, I'm on episode 28 and liked what I saw, just missing the characters of the school and etc, they don't appear as much as in the beginning but okay, nothing that bothered me that much..
Is itbconsidered less good than the other series? Got curious about it.
>>14014588
The kids don't appear that much after a while because 80 was conceived as a J-drama mixed with toku elements but the nips are autistic as fuck with toku and they sabotage every attempt to change the formula. The ratings were shit so the show was retooled into a more traditional Ultra series
>>13965441
why there not be ultraman pink?
>>14014588
If you like 80 then you'll absolutely love the episode it gets in Mebius.
>>14014588
This guy has it right
>>14014639
It came after a weird time when Ultraman just wasn't doing that great thanks to the economic climate of the world. It was also really difficult to watch up until five years ago or so when it was released on DVD for the first time.
>>14014639
>the nips are autistic as fuck with toku and they sabotage every attempt to change the formula
Given that, it's a wonder that Kamen Rider manages to get away with this nowadays.
>>14014664
Not enough girl Ultras to begin with, of course.
Remember the Australian co-production, Ultraman: Toward the Future?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWmxvgZgV34
The only way Ultraman can be revived if Tsuburaya partners up with Western studios.
Even a cartoon would stir up interest like the 80's animated film.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzTb4dw5AM8
>>14011955
The chart recently go extremely outdated due to Crunchy putting a bunch of stuff on their website. You should check those out too.
It's doing better in Japan than Godzilla was before Legendary Godzilla happened. Maybe we just need that hollywood adaptation right about now.

There's nothing wrong with Ultraman now. Stop listening to the shitposters and worrywarts.
Also have you even see Towards the Future? You do not want that again.

Adding to that, it doesn't have suits that would fall apart if you did so much as sneeze on them, like Powered's had.

It says "Ultraman Urb," as in "urban" (オーブヂ). Trust me guys, I can read oriental

Fun fact: due to the vagueness of the Japanese language, the kanji for Tsubaraya can also be pronounced as "Tsubaobu" aka TsubaORB
>>14015534
Is it shitposting? I don't see anything with Japanese/American co-productions like the 2014 Godzilla film. Look at Power Rangers, that's definitive proof that you can make magic when you Westernize a Japanese concept.

I'm starting to realize that when some of you people say "Gaia is just a standard 2000s Ultra until episode [x]", you're glossing over all the determinist speeches and odd cconversations between characters.
