How would you rank X among the Ultraman shows? On a scale

I'll give it a 4 out of 5.

It was comfy.

2.5
Not that special after all.

I expected it was going to turn out like that since the promo material made it look like the show was going to be about as typically Ultraman as they could make it.

>>13754713

3.5

It has so much likeable casts, great and comfy moments.

The reason it lose point is that bloody X-Slugger. That CM scene asides, they dropped the whole monster armor thing until the last episode (or maybe 1 2 episode like the rugby ep?). And we still don't know how do it connect with X.

>>13754713
>needing to rank things and assign a number value
Why? You don't even explain your reasoning.

>>13754713
Why number scale it? Why does anyone still number scale?

X had its flaws (infuriating plot rushes i.e "One For All", the MonsArmor losing significance, Asuna's gymkata in the beginning) but the good really outweighed it. This was really the only toku show I was watching this past year and it managed to stay consistently fun and exciting.

If I had to rank it by series: just above Mebius by a slight margin. In my Top 5 overall overshadowed by Ultraseven.

>>13755385
The X-Slugger wasn't that bad. I'm sure other plot points will either get resolved in the movie or maybe turn into setup for that supposed second season/another Ultra Fight.

>>13755077
After the fiasco of the Ultra N Project, Tsuburaya isn't allowed to experiment with the ultra shows. Bandai having stocks on Tsuburaya doesn't help.

>>13755980

I don't even care what this is for, I approve.

>>13755980

How can Ace being that low? This poll by is rigged, i tell ya!

But Seven on top of Showa Ultraman isn't surprising, though.

>>13756385
Leo is at the second place on Showa. He deserved it after all the crap he had to endure

They managed to make Ginga pretty different. In a dumb way.

I'd rate it 3.5 as well. Show ignored Hayato and Mamoru compared to other characters, small episode count (no fault), ending wasn't the strongest and was left too open.
I also wish we could have had a Cosmos ep. I lust for more Cosmos.
>>13755980
It's nice seeing Nexus at #6, given his show didn't do so well. Likewise with my nigga Leo.

I'm surprised Hikari is that low though? Also surprised about Powered/Great, but I haven't seen their series or anything.

>>13756837
>Powered
I don't blame them, since the costumes were too fragile to use for exciting fight scenes. As for Great, maybe they didn't like the use of spandex?

>>13756317
>The X-Slugger wasn't that bad.
It was quite bad. It took me comleetely out of episodes. And went on for far too long. Didn't help most of Exceed X stuff was just stock footage/the same stuff just diferent monster

>>13757046
Pretty much. Aside that, you might enjoy seeing Kane Kosugi (of Kakuranger fame) being in an American co-production.
>maybe Taro
Bad news, Starseeker only subbed one episode of it as an April Fools release. You can watch Ultraman Story since it has him in it, however.

Definitely going to pick it up.
And Taro is subbed, just bootleg subs which aren't even that bad imo. Ultraman Story recons the original series, doesn't it?
>>13757074
Yeah, that's what I'm guessing. More worried about whether or not CR is going to bother subbing it (or anyone for that matter).

>>13757096
>Ultraman Story recons the original series, doesn't it?
Yup. But hey, you get Masako Nozawa voicing Kid Taro, so it's not a bad deal.
>just bootleg subs which aren't even that bad imo
Fair, although I don't think anyone uploaded those online.
>(or anyone for that matter)
If Starseeker is doing the Ginga S movie, I'm sure she'd do the same for this as well, if only to get away from Dragonar for a bit.

>>13757147
Seems like I only have Seven/Taro/Ace/80 to finish, Showa-wise.

That said, how is 80? I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue my CR premium to start watching it, since 80 is just so ugly and pretty forgotten. I wouldn't really mind skipping 80 to save myself almost 20 hours for something else, to be honest.

>>13757195
It's said to be goofy and uneven at times, but ultimately endearing overall. The payoff in Mebius is worth it.

>>13757222
I guess I'll watch a few eps and see if I want to continue with it/pay CR even more of my money. Thanks bro.

Mebius was the second series I've seen, so I guess I've already spoiled myself on that payoff.

Mebius was just so moe...

>>13755980
>Leo is fifth
>He makes a 4 with his hand
Gen pls

>>13757251
You're welcome. By the way, a few last things:

The Ultra Seven sequel movies (which are set in their own continuity) apparently have subs, but I have no idea if anyone even has them. Also, no one is currently doing Dyna and Gaia, so you should hope CR will move on to those after Nexus. Glad to see you're supporting CR, too.
>Mebius was the second series I've seen, so I guess I've already spoiled myself on that payoff.
It's no big deal. The main appeal of that show is that it gets you to care about casts you never heard of.

>>13757308
>you should hope CR will move on to those after Nexus
I actually cancelled my membership a few days ago, pointed out that my main reason for the several month membership was because of Ultraman X and the current Ultraman series, subtle namedropping of Gaia and Dyna, etc. Not sure if it'll make a difference, but whatever.
>The main appeal of that show is that it gets you to care about casts you never heard of.
Except Leo, of course
>watch Leo after Mebius
>expect Gen to be some hardened asshole, strict with his fellow peer
>end up getting some poor naive and kind dude who gets shit on
>and wears some sweet-ass sweaters, unlike fucking Goh and his shit taste
Not sure how the writers of Mebius goofed his character that badly, though. Can't remember how he was like in the Zero films, since I've watched those well before actually getting into Ultraman properly.

>>13757358
After years of pain, you pretty much become bitter, in fairness.
>I actually cancelled my membership a few days ago, pointed out that my main reason for the several month membership was because of Ultraman X and the current Ultraman series, subtle namedropping of Gaia and Dyna, etc. Not sure if it'll make a difference, but whatever.
I think that'll do.

>>13757373
I guess that's true, though Leo feels more like a guy who would be more depressed and bitter than the asshole flavour of bitter.

I wish we got more of Astra. I genuinelly can't recall if he said anything that wasn't some form of 'help!', 'Leo!' or 'nii-san!'

>>13757412
For what it's worth he did appear in a few more things.
http://ultra.wikia.com/wiki/Astra

>>13757426
>Astra was intended to appear in Ultraman Zero versus Darklops Zero, but was cut. He was also intended for Ultraman Saga, joining the Ultra Brothers in a battle that was also cut. He would have fought Tyrant and it would have been the first time Astra, Seven and Leo fought together.
kill me senpai

It'd give a 3 but it should be a 2 though. The gimmick was seriously stupid even for kids standards (despite no kid watched X) and it's basically everything wrong with Ultraman today. Nevertheless, there was a lot of love and care on the production so it almost compensate the executive meddling. X would be unwatchable on Toei's hands and that should be recognized

>>13758302
>basically everything wrong with Ultraman today
If by that you mean "too similar to Ultraman before".

They completely stopped doing those anime kiddie spin-offs since the 90s, so not even the babies care enough anymore.

I wish Asuna gave some kendo lessons to Daichi. Wasn't her dad a kendo teacher or something? In general, I'd like to know more about the cast. There were too many crossovers for 22 episodes

2.5 out of 5

Wasted potential

Mebius was the last good Ultraman show

No wonder no one was watching it in Japan

>>13769820

>>13771937
No one was watching Mebius either

>>13769820
Leliel?

>>13772523

Mebius had around 3.2% overall ratings. X had 0.2%

>>13757117
Nope, have no plans to do Ultraman Taro, whatsoever. 1 episode was quite enough and it was the only episode with a script translation.

>>13773185
Again with the no source whatsoever.

>>13773209
Thanks for the confirmation on that. Since the fans can settle on the crabsticks, you'll be able to focus on projects that need to be done, thankfully.

>>13773185
Just a couple of years ago, 3.2% was beyond fucked up but now it's OK and it even looks great under Ultraman's standards

Tv rating doesn't mean anything now, though. There are a lot more ways to watch tv series now.

But i found it surprising that Tsuburaya didn't put X any Ultraman on Amazon.

>>13774811
Japan is behind the rest of the first world on streaming. Besides, the top shows on DVR are stuff like Detective Conan and Dragon Ball Super, not Ultraman or toku stuff.

Anyone know where to watch raw of Ultraman manga?

I found this site but it only has up to chapter 28.

>>13777892

>>13773185
>X had 0.2%

There is no source on this anywhere, ratings for X were never posted beyond the first episode, which got a 1.8%

>>13778146
>>13773459
Is it really that hard to believe? 1.8% is already a terribly low number and toku has reached new lows on recent years. Also, the nip fandom seems to be apathetic toward X. Few fanarts, few views on youtube, the events seems to be full of oldfags. The series had a very open end but X can't carry a movie by himself so there'll be a massive team up leaded by Tiga, Tsuburaya's cashcow for the Heisei generation

I loved X. It felt like a natural progression from Cosmos and Mebius. I wouldn't really give it a number because if I were to give all the series I've seen a number ranking I'd probably give 4's and 5's to a bunch of other series anyways but I'll say it's special to me.

It was also the best toku that aired in 2015 but that's not really an accomplishment when you consider its competition.

But Ultra Act is actually the cheapest, though. I remember Ace is only 2400+ yen (excluding shipping payment). And the quality is superior to SHF, too. I have bought Ace, Jack and Taro, and I didn't regret any cents paying for them.

>>13790878
>cheapest
Compared to what exactly?
But yeah, most Ultra-acts are inexpensive because some have been released 3-4 times and/or just recently (like Ace, Taro, Jack, Seven in February..)

Only problem is that there is a lot of figures that go for a lot, especially exclusives. I hope you don't want a Noa, Agul, or Dyna because those niggas go for 12,000+ each.

Overall, the problem is this Ultraman is simply disturbing, since it's no longer a costume like fans are used to. Plus, an actual moving mouth.

If it were in an anime like Joenius, it'd be a different story.

Where does Zone Fighter and Spectreman fall in?

ZoneFighter is Godzilla canon. Spectreman, we don't speak about.

Shit, where is the whole thing?

I only have seen Max (MAX MAX), and never got to finish it because my computer fucked up. Do they still have it and a bunch of nice series up somewhere?
