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

>>13637485
The Powered suit was really cool. Shame it was so fragile.

>>13637749
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.

>>13638634
Has Ultraman ever been edgy? Like, moronic edgy?

>>13638640
Ultraseven X.

>>13638649
God I had erased that series from my memory.
It was more cyberpunk than edgy though

>>13638660
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.

>>13637519
Ah, the bell attack make sense now, even the ost played.

The dialog at the beginning of the '66 series' Gomora two-parter still confuses me. How is there any doubt that monsters are real when they've attacked areas with lots of people? Or is this just a translation error?

>>13640277
It's kinda like a regional thing.
Like you know the Klan exists, but you don't think the Klan is around your neighborhood, until you found a white hood in that one neighbor's laundry

>>13640387
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?

>>13640277

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.

>>13639738

Seven must have let himself go after the Ultra Eyes got broken.

But to be honest, I don't see him being fat in that image. Isn't only his face round?

>>13640405

At least a third of Eva is Anno drooling over Ultraman like the fanboy he is. He was heavily, heavily inspired by the early Showa series in a lot of ways.

Is there any way to make nip kids to watch Ultraman besides pic related or Ultraman is doomed to fall into irrelevancy as a Showa relic?

>>13641636
Judging by the tastes of Japanese kids nowadays, you'd have to turn it into a card game.

>>13641640
X kinda tried but kids didn't care

>>13641636

Turn it into Sentai, it worked for the Kamen Rider franchise.

Hideaki Anno directs the next Ultra show. It's a 26 episodes series that make toku to reach new highs. Evangelion 3.0+1.0 is delayed to 2017

>>13641636
>Is there any way to make kids watch

No. This goes for anything, not just toku.

>>13641700
>Evangelion 3.0+1.0 is delayed to 2017
lol he's never going to finish that shit

>>13641636
What was the last successful Ultraman? Cosmos? Apparently, the Heisei trilogy of Tiga/Dyna/Gaia weren't THAT popular, Ultraman 80 got a poor reception and Leo was a flop so before Cosmos, the big hit was Taro on 1973

>>13641700
If the Cutie Honey live action movie is any indicator... no.

I'm anxious about Shin Godzilla... how many times is Anno going to go back to the god warrior destroying Tokyo well?

>>13641966
The Cutie Honey live action had an extremely low budget so Anno just had fun with the cosplay. It's not really fair to use it as an indicator for the next Godzilla or an actual toku

>>13641702

I've been watching Ginga S, and I gotta ask - is there a reason why Ginga fires off so many different beams in a row with this thing? Or is it just an excuse for the staff to reference the older Ultras?

>>13642634
Fanservice

>>13642677
Figured as much. Thanks.
It would have been nice if they dug a little deeper, though - that scene where Hikaru and Taro used Jack's barrier to bust out of hyperspace was cooler than the L1 finisher parade that seems to pop up in most of these fights.

>>13641966
Giant god warrior appears in Tokyo was god tier, I hope Godzilla looks like it

This trailer or wathever has a lot of views in Youtube

I don't know it is real or not anymore. The cg is too awesome and detailed to be fanmade but I can't find any official site to confirm itl.

>>13644439
It's originally uploaded by Tsuburaya Channel but restricted to Japanese view only.

>>13644480

Ah, I see.

I don't really see the point of those country restriction video. Once I searched there was a 40 or so years later TAC team on their channel. But it was restricted so I gave up and haven't seen the the video.

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.

I wish X had more original kaijus. Well, I gues there isn't enough budget for new stuff and the audience are autistic oldfags so they don't care for new stuff

>>13645642
Perhaps other than original kaijus we could of seen kaijus that have not made appearances for a while now, especially the ones from the other Heisei ultras

>But to be honest, I don't see him being fat in that image. Isn't only his face round?
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.

>>13647351
Still, the have a deficit of members who are capable of piloting at a moment's notice.

>>13647575
Do they, really? There's been at least a few times when Asuna is just in the truck or on foot while Hayato and Wataru use the jet.

I love this thing.

>>13649370
The few original suits in X are all pretty goddamn great. People might complain about too many old monsters coming back but the new ones we got were all fantastic.

>>13649370
>>13649373
I wish kids watch X. It's way better than anything from SHT in years, Maybe after Anno's Godzilla, kaijus might be cool again

>>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
Because it's sad to think nobody is watching the show besides a bunch of autistic 50s something men. The first Ultraman was a cultural phenomenon

>>13649843
A solid audience mean new kaijus every week, a bigger budget and less nostalgia pandering to the Showa generation

>>13649878

>wanting no room for Pigmon

Get out

>>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.

I didn't watch that many Ultra shows, which monsters are X original?

>>13652244
The Demaagas, Gargorgon, Rudian (although the design and suit were just modded from one of Mebius' aliens), Houlinga and of course, Greeza. The Cyber Gomora suit is pretty distinct from the regular one, but they are the same monster.

Bandai is holding onto the IP of Toei heroes.
No matter how big the viewership Bandai is the one that is in full control.

>>13653048
Doesn't Bandai also own a lot of shares in Tsuburaya proper?

>>13653060
Fields Corporation (a pachinco company) has 51% of Tsuburaya's share in 2010, while Bandai has 49% since 2009.

Well since this thread is going down the toilet, let's get all the shitposting outta the way.

So what's the power level chart for Ultraman?

>>13653087
There is no such chart because their power changes by directors' requests.

>>13653087
>So what's the power level chart for Ultraman?

It's all one ultraman with many different faces

>>13653087
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.

Was Greeza's sound effects inspired by the angels from Eva?

So, one more recap and it will include a preview with the movie, with subs for us to understand better.

So If Daichi can't find this thing there will be a completely different outcome for the show.

>>13656282
Oops I mean Daichi's mom

>>13656204

Their souls have always watched over Daichi. Pretty inconvenient if you ask me.

>>13656287

I don't think the outcome will change much. They will still pull out an "all kaiju" equip like that. And maybe X will be even better with X using armors from start to finale instead of a toy CM and rainbow.

>>13656261
Honestly it's laser effects sounded like old UFO noises to me

>>13656328
>Honestly it's laser effects sounded like old UFO noises to me
It reminded me of Ghidora.

>>13656319
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.

Alternate end on stage.

It was a beautiful ending to a good series. Not the strongest contender, but above par.

Also X is one of the only two Ultraman that didn't leave at the end of the series, the other being Victory.

I'm more bothered that X doesn't have an action figure in general, especially since Ginga and Victory got them in the previous series.

The armour gimmick just screams expansion sets. And unlike Victory, I can't just buy a figure as a substitute for an Ultra-act.

Will X defeat Greeza or will Zero kill him after being sent back in time by Noa?

>>13656393
Is this really an alternative end? I know X tend to be overshadowed by his more successful sempais but it'd be cool to see Zero, Ginga, Victory and the other Ultra guests to come back for the final battle. Hell, I even would love to see that Duke Fleed's lookalike from episodes 5 and 6.

Tiga was one of my favorite finales because different people that Daigo helped during the show came back to help him

>>13657317
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.

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.

It's a shame there's no Ultra equivalent for Gaidens, because it really needs them.

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.

I think they might try to make that a thing going forward.

The side-stories are no where as common as the stageshows, though.
Plus, those don't involve Ultraman Max accidentally hitting people in the dick with an umbrella. Absolutely useless.

>>13659141
>The side-stories are no where as common as the stageshows, though.
Isn't that true for most toku franchises?

>>13659205
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.

Also, why Zoffy just brought lifes along like 1UP.

>>13673656
>Also, why Zoffy just brought lifes along like 1UP.
Because he is the greatest onii-san.

>>13673656
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.

>Also, why Zoffy just brought lifes along like 1UP.
Sometimes Zoffy can be cool like that.

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.

Pretty sure all of the main Ultraman series, aside from Dyna and Gaia, have subtitles. Most of them bootleg, however.
Somebody is scrubbing Ace as we speak, also.
>>13703397
It's not really crabsticks, just mediocre subs (there's a difference!)

The missing episodes (on MEGA) are the bigger issue than the subs, really. Mainly the missing first episode for Alien Nackle(?), which was an important two-parter of the series.

So why are there two Ultra wikias?

>>13705094
Yeah, the sets will occasionally screw up and drop a line, phrase something awkwardly, or mistranslate a name or year, but they're way better than your standard crabsticks. I wish Gaia/Dyna, the Ultra Q sequels and the anime Ultras were so lucky.
How are the Cosmos subs?

>>13705370
Cosmos is the same thing, really. It's overall fine to read, but there are times where it translates something oddly. There's also cases of the subs using the wrong name or term, when the correct word was clearly said (like interchanging a character's first and last names).

The subs for the opening are timed poorly, and sometimes, whoever subbed the show cannot decide if they want to subtitle the ED or the actual dialogue at the end of the show (Cosmos has many episodes where the ED kind of blends with the ending of the episode, like your typical final episode.) It's pretty comfy t b h, I wish more Ultra series did that.

I'm rewatching the Mega Monster Battle movie, and Ultraman 80 starts rambling on about Minus Energy. He does the same thing in Revenge of Belial.

Is 80 just full of shit? Do the other Ultras just let him ramble autistically about 'muh Minus Energy' and quietly chuckle behind his back?

>>13706707
I'd like to think it's the latter

Most likely though is that 80 don't get a lot of love, so they use this as a simple way for him to have some lines.

>>13706707
80 needs more more focus, his show is very underrated.

>>13706854
His show itself needs more focus. The writers didn't really know where to lead the show at times
At least it wasn't as much of a lost potential like fucking Leo was

>>13706707
You ever know someone who majored in something less than popular, and constantly tried to relate situations to that major to make it seem more topical?

80 is that guy. He REALLY wants people to know he wrote a thesis and pioneered the study of an unknown theoretical field.

Tsuburaya didn't do ultra shows for more than a decade. In fact, Tiga was advertised as the first Ultra show in 15 years

>Tsuburaya didn't do ultra shows for more than a decade.

They were producing movies and shows abroad. An American movie treatment (or two?), an American animated pilot, an Australian co-produced series and a an American co-produced series. Whether they were any good or not is irrelevant; even when the shows lost popularity in Japan, Tsubaraya was still producing Ultra.

>>13709329
Still Tiga was promoted as the first Ultra show in a long, long time. Similar to Kuuga, despite there were rider movies and specials during the 90s, not including the older autistic fanbase always demanding new rider shows and shitting over Ishinomori's attempts to modernize toku (see Changerion)

>>13709329
Everything after Taro was a downhill, popularity-wise.

- Leo was a flop
- 80 was a flop
- Tiga/Dyna/Gaia never achieved the success of their predecessors
- After the fresh air that was Cosmos for the franchise's popularity, everything went to hell with the Ultra N project
- Mebius had low ratings and its movie's huge B.O. cimented the nostalgia pandering
- Literally nobody on Japan watched X

Wait, really? Ouch. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not sure how one can consciously back Rider after learning this.

>>13707353
and in his series and Mebius he was pretty much right.

>>13709402
If you hate Ultraman so much why don't you just hide the thread instead of shitposting and acting like a retard who thinks he knows what he's talking about?

>>13709422
Because Rider fans exist in their own little world where anything that isn't directly comparable to Rider doesn't exist. Always have been.

>>13709435
I thought all those facts were common knowledge. Not discussing the shows's quality, in fact I'm currently watching Leo and fucking enjoying it despite Japan hated it during its original run

>>13709381
Ishinomori had nothing to do with Changerion (at least from what I can find)

This reminds me, I have a friend who knows someone like that (putting aside blabbering about darkness and transhumanism). What a pitiful existence to have.

Just one. It didn't do very well at all, but hey, at least it had Kane Kosugi, so it had that going for it I guess.

How much viewers do 0.2% mean?

>>13709677
Nobody ever posts a source for these.

>>13709329
Tsuburaya didn't produce a lot of those series, they just gave their okay to having them be created. They were out of the game for a long time.

>>13709677
Where do those numbers come from? They're not in the 2ch threads.

>>13708424
Ultraman was already struggling after Leo and took a 6 year break before Tsuburaya tried it again with 80.

But the same thing happened with Kamen Rider too...
>4 year break between Stronger and Skyrider.
>6 year break between Super-1 and and Black.
>11 year break between Black and Kuuga.

>>13709789
Black was well-received by the audience though, it even got a second season. In rider case, I think the hiatus was caused by the audience's decreasing interest on toku and the fact Toei had to share the profit with Ishinomori Pro while sentai and metal heroes were property of the studio

>>13710000
There was also the case of some serial killer liking Kamen Rider, no?

>>13709677
Even 0.001% proves you wrong

How has no one called this person out on this blatant trolling?

Tsuburaya subbed the X Movie Trailer

Crunchyroll fucked us

Hope Hayate still be the leader of group. If a veteran like him appear and being just for giving the power-up, it would sucks.

>>13711932

What do you mean?

>>13712169
Is Hayata even appearing?
And because they didn't bother subbing the third recap but still felt the need to tease it.

>>13711421

Because blatant trolling doesn't merit a response?
