Easily (potential) misunderstanding, considering that it looks like that's a new Redman suit at the end of that video. Could be a replica, or a very nicely restored suit.

Doesn't seem like they have confidence in continuing with Dyna though, due to difficulty.

But X used an armor in nearly every episode. Even when it only succeeded in demonstrating that Exceed X was more useful.

He fought hand to hand first, then switched in armor to hit harder, then dumped the armor for Xanadium Beam. In some battles he didn't even switch in armor.
And then they straight up ditched the armor change when they just go straight into Exceed X to hit harder.
The armor switch wasn't that prominent.

All main Showa and Heisei series except 80, Ginga (this excludes Ginga S, which was fine)

80, but it's still a fine show.
>don't
Ginga, but you're free to do whatever you want.

Support it on Crunchyroll if they have it, Ultraman/Ultraseven are free to stream on Shout's website if you're an Amerifat. All Showa series but Ultraman, Seven, Leo, and 80 are HK subs; Ace is being currently done but not complete. You can't watch Heisei Ultraseven or Dyna, Zearth movies only have English dubs iirc. Cosmos has HK subs and some missing episodes (which are just extras), and Jack has 2-3 missing episodes.

The obligatory Science Patrol's rip-off doesn't look like a patrol at all. They don't even wear uniforms. They look closer to UFO otakus. I wonder if it's a plot point or Tsuburaya spent all its reduced budget on forms
>>
>>14371179
I think that's exactly what they are, UFO otakus who stumbles upon Orb and go on adventuring
So basically a rehash of Ginga? Probably budget problems though. Let's hope they can work this into the story
>>
>>14371334
At that point, might as well pull what Leo did and take the defense team out of the equation. Hopefully without a purge, mind you.
>>
>>14371392
The Science Patrol's rip-off is obligatory because the only audience left are autistic nerds fawning over the classic shows and they all had Science Patrol's rip-offs. Leo killed MAC at episode 41 and I still don't know why, maybe some nip turboautist know the behind-the-scene drama, nevertheless Leo had MAC during 40 episodes, the episodes with Astra, Ultraman King, the team-ups with other Ultras and abusive Dan, training sequences and the things the fandom remember about Leo.

Making the Science Patrol into otakus instead of a real patrol is already a risky move under modern standards. I expect Anno to write an anonymous rant on 2ch

I use the term loosely. I just mean they turn into past Ultramen and Monsters.

They're not.

I guess he means since they use an idea Sentai and Rider only does during anniversaries. (using legacy characters)

Ultraman operates differently than either Sentai or Rider. You see call backs to legacy characters quite often. Plus, it's a pretty easy way to sell toys when your IP and company is on life support. Ginga S was the best selling series in 10 years, even better than X.

http://www.bandainamco.co.jp/en/ir/library/pdf/en_20160511_1Result.pdf

Ginga actually did better than Ginga S, by quite a bit. Ginga made 3.2 while Ginga S made 2.6

X was initially forecast to make 3.5, but then that was downgraded to 3.0 before it eventually made 2.7.

Also, Ultra Galaxy's first season is apparently the best selling season in the last decade, it made something like 4.6.

Bandai expects Orb to be huge and make 4.0
>>
>>14384974
Yeah, that's what I thought. I knew Ginga sold better than Ginga S, and definitely couldn't be a 10-year high.
Didn't know Ultraman X sold less than Ginga, though. Kind of sad.
>Bandai expects Orb to be huge and make 4.0
I guess it's due to the new timeslot? Otherwise, I don't see why.

I'd like to see Tsuburaya grab an actor that's a former Kamen Rider but actually relevant nowadays. Ultraman definitely needs more attention.
>>
>>14385127
>I guess it's due to the new timeslot? Otherwise, I don't see why.

Definitely the time slot. The show's director said it was selected because you'll probably get a much bigger kid audience on a Saturday morning as opposed to whatever day of the week Retsuden aired.

I'm very interested in seeing where the franchise goes after this. Retsuden is done once Orb starts and it only went for so long because it was an easy way to secure a time slot. Do we get another show right after Orb or are we in store for something else from Tsuburaya?

lol nah
Just that Ultraman was described as a god ("Allah") in a manga or something, and they didn't approve of that analogy. Didn't want to make kids confused and actually worship Ultraman or something, I guess not like there's anything wrong with worshipping Ultraman
>>14386161
>Japan never found the way to make money with the international fanbase
Tsuburaya confirmed that they made a profit from China and other Asian countries with Ultraman X, m8. Not sure where I can find that image, but they made more money from China alone than Crunchyroll's (main US) demographic iirc.
And I don't get how you can say that either, considering Malaysia got their own canon Ultraman (Ribbit), and along with China they get their own events and stageshows.
>I read Crunchyroll doesn't reach China, where's the biggest demographic of ultrafags
That's because China and other countries don't use Crunchyroll. Crunchyroll isn't the only company that localizes Ultraman outside of Japan, you know.

Nah, Tiga's Sky Type form is blue but his main form that Orb pulls from is red and purple. Though it really can look more blue than purple depending on the lighting. Ultras that use more colors than red and blue might be few and far between but they're definitely out there and they're becoming increasingly more common.
>>
>>14399412
There is often some new material, not always. It is generally of the variety of an ultra talking to the viewer explaining this week's clip show. One in a blue moon it is a fight, the only examples I can think of off hand are Ultra Zero Fight and Ultra Fight Victory, which were broken into three minute segments appended to the end of the clip show.

Retsuden was a way to keep the franchise on the air, keep the suit actors and film staff employed and most importantly keep a show on the air so they could keep promoting stuff. That it's going away means that Tsubaraya intends to keep making original programming all year round.
>>

>>14400843
>That it's going away means that Tsubaraya intends to keep making original programming all year round.

This scares me. I wouldn't have minded if Tsuburaya decided to keep doing Retsuden after Orb if it meant they would have a safety net in the case that Orb doesn't do well, but I guess they're confident in being able to hold their own.

I mean, who knows? They could just do another clip show under a different name or format. But I think that given the current kaiju boom and the traction they're getting in China, they will keep moving forward. I personally like having a shorter series, 50 eps is too much to fill, they get stretched thin.
>>
>>14400920

It's very exciting to think about where they're going to go next. Orb has already been confirmed for 25 episodes and then there's the Amazon spinoff. It's interesting to imagine Tsuburaya will focus solely on that while whatever replaces Orb airs but...I'm focusing on a quote from the director who said they moved to Saturday mornings because it can capture a wider kid audience. It's strange to move time slots to capture a new audience and then potentially only use it for half a year when kids shows are the only ones left that regularly pump out 50 episode seasons. What if the show that follows it is a non-Tsuburaya thing that really takes off? They're out of a time slot.

I think it'd be awesome to see a pattern of maybe an Ultraman show followed by another non-Ultraman Tsuburaya produced series.
>>
>>14401042
They could reboot Gridman and make it about smartphones to appeal to kids more.

so I take it most actors in the ultra franchise are generally on the veteran/experienced level unlike say, Rider who are mostly newbies or Sentai who are mostly just models
>>
>>14368221
why do you guys not count Q
>>
>>14388654
It was during the Planet Golgotha's 2-3 parters.
The Ultra Brothers investigate an Ultra sign (some sorta emergency call for Ultras) and traced it to that planet. And then they discover that it was a trap laid by the Yapoolians. What's worse is that while all the Ultras are trapped, Yapool sent a monster to Earth and cause chaos.

The brothers told Ace that they'll give him their powers enough to go back to Earth and stop that monster. Ace reluctant, saying that he won't abandon his brothers. Ultraman slapped him to sense saying that protecting Earth is his current duty and he has to do it. Ace then agree and was sent back to Earth to deal with the monster.

After that, Ace decides to go back to Planet Golgotha and save his brothers by using an interstellar rocket and when the rocket has reached its reach limit, he transforms to Ace and flies to Golgotha.

Slapping is a very typical solution in a lot of 70's show. It's pretty much machoism where if you see them in our current mindset, we think that they're dicks. But old Japanese share how they care by being harsh. It's good ol' Asian ethics.

>2016 began the multi-character overseas expansion for the Ultraman brand. It was also stated that due to Japan’s lowering population, expected to shrink from 120 million to 90 million by 2050, plans are in place to generate a more global reach, exporting brands and characters to North and South America as well as the rest of Asia and Europe.

It's not about Tsuburaya being cheap. It's about Tsuburaya being broke. Mebius' production put the company in the red and yet they still put out a fairly quality series that didn't bullshit its effects or rely too heavily on CG. They're doing better as of late but they still don't have the funds that Toei does.
