New Ultraman Confirmed

Is it another season of Ultraman X?

>>13840881
doesn't say, only says new ultraman series in july

>>13840881
>>13840914
>We'll never get an ultra that can use the powers of both good and evil ultras

>>13840943
>wanting more MUH legacy pandering
It's literally the thing the franchise doesnt need.

I hope this time is an entirely new show and not cashing in on the franchise's history. I'm sick of seeing Zero, Eleking, King Joe, and the overused monsters for the billionth time.

>>13840956
>Not wanting the new ultra that's the equivalent of Diend that can summon evil or secondary ultras, or use their abilities

>>13840956
Unfortunately, the most popular monsters make a lot of money in toy sales and they save money by only having to make a new suit for them every so often.

>>13840956
>he doesn't know this franchise is all about legacies
>He doesn't know nostalgia is literally saving the franchise until it can stand on it's own again


I mean the reused monster complaint is fair enough, but we're still at an impasse with the franchise. It's garnering enough cashflow for consecutive installments, but Tsubaraya still can't just pop out new suits nonstop. Be reasonable.

>>13840956
I'm fine with pandering, I just wish they started using the lesser popular kaijus (not even unpopular/niche ones, just not the typical Eleking/Baltan/etc). There's a lot of good kaijus (especially from the Heisei series) that could be used more often

Zetton can stay though. The SFX always gets me completely hyped.

>>13841092
>he doesn't know this franchise is all about legacies
Not really, at most you had past ultramen/actors returning but that's it, at least before Mebius.

>Be reasonable.
Nigga, they had been doing this for years, we had Zero movies, Ginga, Ginga S and X last year. I liked those (except Ginga 1, and I liked Ginga S for not being Ginga 1 mostly) but it's time to move on.

>>13841156
I want to see them bring back Gatanzoa or Chaos Header

>>13842124
Tsuburaya always had problems when it comes to experimenting with anything new. Even their other IPs tend to either not last very long, or end up getting linked into Ultra in some way (usually both).

I hope they bring Anno

>>13842571
>Japan always had problems when it comes to experimenting with anything new
FFTY

Toei just got very lucky with Kuuga

>>13842124
I genuinely liked Ginga S for what it was. I found the ending to be really satisfying, just wish the series was longer so they could throw in more character development.

But yeah, it's unfair to tell Tsuburaya to "move on" given their situation (Ultraman not as popular anymore + budget issues + Bandai owning almost half of the company)

>>13842612
This is a bigger problem than Ultraman or Tsuburaya though. Toku has been on life support for many years. Ultraman got it worse but that doesn't mean rider and sentai are doing fine

>>13842638
I try to take information about ratings from Japan with a grain of salt since they are likely just a portion of the folks actually watching the shows.

>>13842720
We've been through this countless times. Japan is behind the rest of the first world on streaming and the most recorded shows on DVR are stuff like Dragon Ball Super, not toku. Nips care a lot about ratings, they're still the most trustable measure of audience. Also, the SHT movies have a lower recaudation every year

>>13842638
You're a fucking retard.

>>13842740
Who's we?

But anyway, I would have thought that stuff like streaming and DVR would have been something of a godsend to people that usually spend their time at work or at school.

>excited to see a new Ultra thread

Why do you guys keep making threads if this is the only conversation you're going to have every single time?

>>13842612
>it's unfair to tell Tsuburaya to "move on" given their situation
It isnt

>Ultraman not as popular anymore + budget issues + Bandai owning almost half of the company)
I hate to be THAT guy, but sentai and rider are in a similar situation and do fine.

>>13842792
>thread about a new Ultraman show
>not expecting discussion on hopes and Tsuburaya's situation

What do you want us to discuss anon? We know nothing about this other than the fact there is a new show. This is not a general.

This seems like a better place to ask as opposed to making a new thread. I'd like to check out some toku stuff. Is there an Ultraman guide a la the Gundam guide? If not, what's a good series to start with that has decent subs?

>>13842902
There is a chart but I dont have the last version.
As for personal recomendations on Ultra stuff I like Tiga a lot.
I've recently started Nexus and I find it to be 10/10 but I'm only halfway through so it may fall apart later.

Nexus is getting officially localized via CR. Go support that instead, so they can continue getting more Ultraman stuff.

Watch Tiga in the meanwhile.

>>13842967
What >>13842975 said. And maybe if we're lucky CR will give us subs for the "sequel" series to Tiga alongside Nexus.

Will they come up with a new gimmick or keep using the Spark Dolls?

I don't think we're done with spark dolls quite yet, anon.

>>13845199
... Gridman. I miss you gridman.

Personally, I don't mind Spark Dolls, though. They are pretty cool. My friends got a Cyber Gomora and it look badass. It was sold out on amiami and hlj by the time I searched for it.

I just hope they don't use Cards which doesn't have any display value.

>>13845259
Yeah, Ultraman L is totally gonna use Spark Dolls too. I mean, it's an anniversary show and those things sell.

>The statement released by FIELDS remarks on the airing of Ultraman X, which recently concluded, and also mentioned the show reaching over 400 million overseas viewers, accomplished by the release of episodes on YouTube and Crunchyroll.

Well, I guess that means it's perfectly ok for me to keep using nyaa since the lack of my viewership won't affect anything at all.

>>13846016
Just have the CR stuff running in the background when it's released. Most of those viewers are going to be from (mainly) China and Malaysia, and they don't watch their Ultraman stuff in English.

>>13846075
Nope. Not gonna happen. CR's president literally said they pick up any show they possibly can. Low viewership wouldn't stop them one bit.

>>13846095
I'd always take that stuff with a grain of salt.

It's not even troublesome to have something running in the background.

>>13846120
I'll do that when CR starts putting out top quality subs. As long as they're just mediocre...

I don't consider a single episode in a year covered.

>>13849094
Yeah, well no one else is going to do it. Them's the breaks. Besides, they technically did two episodes last year and put out another last month.

>>13849179
Oh did they? Guess I'm going to have to make an account on their forums. And still it's too slow of a release for me to consider it covered. I'm not complaining and I do realise it's the probably best I'll get.

How come the Ultra series cares more about their kaiju.

>>13850856
Because that's partially what the franchise is about. The first entry was only about kaijus actually, no ultra hero.

And Toei just gives their monsters to Saban for them to butcher. Tsuburaya gives their monsters proper burials.

>>13850901
>le unnecesary Toei comparison

Toei gives the suits to Saban for use on their shows, not to butcher them. They are just two different ways to approach their franchises. Whether you like them treating their kaiju suits better or not is irrelevant to this.

>>13850973
Saban butchers all the suits
>Toei sends them over seas after extensive use in Japan, squibs exploding on the suits and tears.
>Saban puts them through more of that shit.
>Saban then keeps reusing them long after their expected lasting rate.
>Foam rubber only last so long
>They then use parts of different monsters to make new ones.
>Saban let ABC Family auction off older suits to make money for the series.
>The suits are barely recognizable.

Meanwhile, Toho and Tsuburaya either just retire the suits, put them on display in a Toku Museum, or put them in stage shows/festivals.

>>13851004
Yeah. So?

>>13851008
>Tsuburaya and Toho treat their monsters like actual characters.
>Toei is just 'LOL BLOW IT UP'

>>13851012
This is the first time you repeat the same shit, what's your point?

>>13851017

>>13847680
What are you expecting from "Magma Seijin" exactly? That's how he's named.

>>13851134
No, I mean the name is in the wrong order. Normally, when you translate such alien names in Ultra, they go with the standard Western name order (e.g. Alien Baltan, Alien Mephilas).

>>13851189
Fair enough, but really seems like a 'who gives a shit' kind of thing to complain about.

>>13851044
>>13850867

They've abandoned lots of suits to the elements, dude.

>>13845199
wait, Gridman is gettin subbed?

>>13851967
No, just pointing out that it's part of the Tsuburaya lineage. Besides, not every show on the chart has subs. On the bright side, Fortmax/BunnyHat did encode the raws.

>>13851998

Well, its not a Tsuburaya chart, but an Ultraman chart (including shows that are somehow connected to the Ultraman franchise). Has Gridman or Azteckaiser ever crossed the Ultra universe?

>>13852030
Well, no. Not sure what would lead one to think Gridman is getting subs, though.

>>13852030
Gridman appears in a DVD special of Ultra Galaxy Legends, was filmed by the time he got an SHArts figure. He contacts Belial and yells at him how he's not been in anything recently.
Belial says 'he'll work on getting him a figure' and then blast the computer.

Gridman also was in the 90's Tsuburaya commercial.

Azteckaiser was in a recent stage show where Ultraman Zero was judging a bunch of other heros to see if they're good enough. Triple Fighter, Azteckaiser, Koseidon and Gridman were there.

>>13846519
FIVE WHOLE BABIES!?

>>13850856

It's what make Ultraman different from other sentai and rider and the series's selling point.

It's like if a kid bring some figure like Terror Dopant, no one bat an eye. But if Gomora was brought, everyone will know it.

>>13848120
Yeah, they announced on Facebook that they'll possibly be done adopting projects after tackling Turboman and Fiveman.

Compounding Sentai and KR's issue is that they usually don't have much collectibles for their villains at all, let alone weekly monsters.

Considering that the last group to have tried to sub Gaia was Hi no Tori, it's going to be difficult to gauge accurately. Still a shame that KouAidou never got to use her scripts, though.

It's what drove me to subscribe. I was getting the same video game ad played at greater volume than the show I was watching, over and over again.

>>13868661
Gen's mentor wasn't originally supposed to be Dan. It could be possible that he wasn't written as Dan at first, and they didn't really 'readjust' (read: actually keep his character/personality straight) for the new role. Obviously that's just speculation/something that cannot really be confirmed, unless somebody speaks Japanese well and is willing to do the research.
Or Ultraseven is actually a pretty abusive teacher and has a bad temperament towards those who often disobey him and display incompetency, who knows~.

The Japanese wiki for Ultraman Leo speaks about it a little.
>yfw Manatsu Ryu's name isn't even his actual name, just some nickname he got during highschool because he was in a band

>>13868661
I thought he was just bitter about being crippled.

>>13868730
No reason to take it out on Gen

>>13868744
Of course not. I'm just sayin' that it didn't sit well with him that he was out of action and had to rely on a new guy that barely knows what he's doing.

>>13868744
Well, when your student often fucks up/rebels against you, and your own life + everyone on Earth's lives depends on Leo, I can imagine being frustrated. Not to say the physical/mental abuse was completely justified, but Gen really does get too immature and careless in his responsibilities, and in some ways it's actually good that he got a strict asshole for a teacher.

Like the Ron episode for example, Leo was being fairly self-centered and prioritized his pet over protecting Japan at first until Seven slapped some sense into him.
What I don't understand was fucking Dan and the car "training", despite the fact that if he killed Gen or severely hurt him by literally running him over with the car, Leo would also become a cripple and useless like him. I guess Dan did not consider the consequences long enough.

>>13868788
Dan was a total monster in that show. He didn't even bother to teach gen most of the time.

>>13868840
Eh, he chilled out eventually. Then Silver Bloome happened.

>>13868885
I think that's only because the training regimes had to stop, since Gen's poor actor was getting hurt a lot from them. Otherwise, we would have probably seen more Dan being Leo-Dan, but less morbid and dark.

That said, was anyone else a little weirded out by that one scene (where it was only Gen and Dan at the MAC station), Dan said something like "...which is what I would say if everyone was here" so light-heartedly? It just felt so off, even though that's more of his actual personality.

>>13868661
>>13868528
I wonder if Dan's mentor shenanigans alienated the Japanese audience. Japan loves abusive paternal figures and shitting over young weaklings but Dan is like the Superman of the Ultra series, arguably even above Hayata. Not the only reason why Leo was a flop but maybe one of the main reasons

>>13868927
Didn't the training regimes stop because the ratings were shit so Tsuburaya tried to make the show into a more convencional Ultra series?

>>13868935
I'm curious about that too. I know the Japanese do agree that Dan was abusive (Google translated some questions/answered off Nippon Yahoo answers for some other thing a while ago, had some users mention his odd "training"), but I don't know if it was part of the reason why Leo did so poorly.
They also don't know why Astra was never officially 'Ultraman Astra', except for one mistake on a product.
>>13868943
The regimes had to stop because of the health and safety of the actor for sure (he complained a lot about it, also got almost paralyzed at one point), but whether or not the directional change would have changed it isn't something either of us could confirm. The directional change might have been a part of it, though the darker-tone of the series from what I've read was more of the problem.

>>13868977
Maybe that's why Mebius retconned Leo as the abusive mentor instead of the abuse victim

>>13868989
It's not really a retcon when Mebius didn't really suggest he was like that before, just that he was like that nowadays. Or did the episode actually imply that Leo was always like that?

>>13868578

The oil crisis didn't help things, either.

>>13868989
That shit was the worst. I wanted to see goofy Gen train Mebius, not abusive Gen

>>13868977
Are japanese parents normally abusive?

>>13868989
I've always just viewed it as a reference gone kind of wrong. Like I understood what they were trying to do, but like Seven in Leo's respective series, they got his character somehow wrong and it ruins everything.

Or Leo really did grow up bitter. Maybe it's from the stress of handling Seven's dumb rebellious teenage son, and he now understood how much of a pain of the ass it was. I just pretend Leo's episode in Mebius didn't really happen, and Leo's still a moeblob with a good and kind heart. And still cries himself to sleep sometimes

>>13869009
I appreciate the offer, but I'll live.

>>13869028
Physically? I very much strongly doubt that.

But there is the whole emotional/mental stress in regards to education, if you want to count that. Also applies to countries like South Korea and China too, hence the high suicide rate among students and all.

Remember when Dan got NTR'd by an autistic alien kid?
It's not OK to be an asshole but Dan had a hard a life

>>13869136
I loved that ep. After how much a a dickhead Dan was in Leo, it was great seeing his world crumble around him.

>>13869139
I don't know. I was kinda expecting this Dan to kill the kid on coldblood rather than defend them

>>13869136
Dan looked pretty great in that suit, no lie.
>>13869139
It was also satisfying to watch Gen beat up Dan a bit during the LEO-NIISAN ep.

>>13869153
hell yeah, that two parter is amazing. I have to say, for all the problems leo has, it can get pretty damn good at times.

>>13869136
I'm pretty sure it was never confirmed to be the real Anne.

>>13869381

>>13869444
When Leo was bad, it was BAD.

>>13869444
Canada. Yes, the US' neighbors get screwed over, just like with the digital release of Kokuga for 3DS.

>>13869492
I thought it was mediocre/boring at worst. Mainly some of the last ten episodes that kind of dragged.
>>13869526
What? I'm located in Ontario and I'm watching Gaia just fine.

>>13869544
For some reason they hate Monteregie, then. Other series have their vids, but for every Ultraman one I get absolutely bupkis.

>>13869031
To be honest, I didn't really think Leo was that bad in it. At least, I didn't really see it as abusive or that much of a departure from Gen's character.

>>13869561
It just seemed very cold hearted for Gen to act that way.

>>13869554

Saving the Earth is extremely serious business.

>>13869614
Sure is off-character for Leo "I love my nii-san more than the fucking Earth and Land of Light".

>>13869653
Mebius is some nobody greenhorn, not family.

Also, Leo is the nii-san. Get your facts straight, man.

>>13869674
I thought onii-san was for older and nii-san was a more generic way, or is nii-san and onii-san interchangeable?
I don't even know, I'm sorry I'm not as much of a fucking weeab.
>Mebius is some nobody greenhorn, not family.
Wasn't implying that, I was just pointing out that Leo did not take his responsibilities as "extremely serious business".

>>13869741
Nah, the word for younger brother is "otouto" or something like that. I'm not even that much of a fucking weeb I just remember that Astra/Babalou kept saying "LEO-NII-SAN."

Anyway, that happened when Gen was young and stupid and it turned out he was wrong as fuck.

>>13869741
I can see him training him, but I can't see him acting as mean as he did. It seemed wildly out of character for Leo.

>>13869807
It's "otouto", yeah. I've always heard older brother as "onii-san", so that's why I got confused.
>>13869808
Basically. Wonder how Japan felt about it.

>>13872439
>X's toy gimmick was great though, unless you're talking about the Prius thing.

I liked the gimmick on the actual toys, but it was incorporated into the show in a clumsy way. Just a small criticism, I really enjoyed X. Also really liked the cars! We have those toys at home, they're pretty fun.

>>13878029
It felt really short. The homage episodes didn't help

>>13878029
I don't. I loved X, it's probably my favourite toku, but I'd rather have something new.

>>13878029

The only reason X should have season 2 is making Daichi's parents to come back. I want Daichi's suffering ends.

>>13879654
It's a better ending to get over it and move on. Besides, Daichi is autistic so he get along better with Spark Dolls than real people

>>13879678

He still spent a lot of time listening to the noises at his table, though. And after hearing his mother's voice at the final arc, I doubt he will ever leave that table or that vacant lot where the lab was. But aside from that, everything really ended nicely, though.

------

Last month, on Seven's facebook, I saw Mr. Hayata just returned to his Mebius's look. Isn't that is 10 years before? How can they not get older like that?

Was there ever an explanation for X and Daichi's compatibility? There was a line in episode 2 about family members having similar frequencies.

I said that. I think if there was a game where Ultraman could fight Godzilla, that would be the whole game. But who knows? I just don't want to get people's hopes up.
