Is Taiga worth watching? I remember when it was airing people fucking hated it and said it was the worst NewGen show, but now it see it talked about a lot more positively.

>>23799394
it has some great MOTW episodes but the final arc is kind of lame and Hiroyuki is whatever as a character.

>>23799394
it's kinda gay, taigay

oh also the translated audio dramas are really good and give you more background on Titas and Fuma

>>23799002
>>23799110
Blazar tried to do too much
Omega did too little
Arc was just right

I maintain that Omega took too long to get up to speed. The entire first half of the show felt like a prologue and it didn't find its legs until the milf joined the cast and they became part of a team.

>>23799933
yeah they needed the MILF in ep 1

>>23799933
I wonder how much of Omega's first half being so meh was totally intentional build up versus saving as much money as humanly possible for all the anniversary shenanigans. (or if it was just incompetence)
Speaking of, I'm honestly surprised to see how positively most people speak on Omega now that it ended. I don't hate it or anything, but man it seems like that ending really redeemed it for a lot of people.

>>23799988
The final arc was genuinely good but it wasn't enough to save the show. Omega overall is like a 6/10 for me and that's being somewhat forgiving of how hard the first half was to get through. It's probably the weakest of the three between it and Blazar and Arc.

>>23799988
Chinks still hate it, but they kinda soften up with because of the finale.

>>23799002
It's the best between the BAO trilogy at least.
Or are we adding Theo (BAOT?)

>>23800042
I would because I know it tick off a certain anon. Until they give actual classification to these series, I am sticking to BAOT

>>23799394
Definitely. Some of the best miniatures, fights and cinematography of the entire series.

>>23799818
Blazar's story can't really go anywhere either, they made him completely defined by his "primitive" concept

>>23800249
it also just baffles me the way they handled SKARD, Like....you give them a cool giant robot dragon and you have them be nigh useless. They only get a few kills and they're ALL with Blazar's help. Heck, the narrative even frequently calls them out on how they never kill any monsters, which you think would lead to an arc or something where they finally start to come into their own.....but they never do.

SKARD starts the series incompetant and ends it maybe just a TINY bit less incompetant.

>>23800386
Also in hindsight the visual callbacks to Ultra N feel wasted and mean spirited. It's like what TsuPro executives internally viewed Nexus as

>>23800397
>Also in hindsight the visual callbacks to Ultra N feel wasted and mean spirited.
The fuck? I don't mean to be too rude but that's really autistic.

>>23800478
They just weren't necessary to its story. It would have been better if they saved the aesthetic for an actual anniversary show.

Obsession can truly destroy a person's mind...

>>23800487
Switching back to defending Blazar as soon as I criticize its aesthetic choices
You can't have both, it's either a bad show or it's good

>>23800535
Blazar is a good show.....its just that it could have been a GREAT show

>>23799179
people seem to think Arc was meh

>>23800535
I'm not a fan of Blazar.
I'm not defending anything.

Blazar, Arc, and Omega are all great shows.

>>23797412
Now that we know what Theo looks like, when are we gonna get his armors?

>>23800557
We still don't even know what his gimmick will be. He might not have form changes at all.

>>23800575
that would be suicidal for Tsupro to do. The Form changes and Armors are the only reasons this franchise still exists.

Nobody buys the monster toys.

>>23800577
No one here is an accountant for them so we don't care.

>>23800579
Wow dude thanks for the intelligent observation, guess we just shouldn't talk or think about anything until the show airs.

Kurenai Gai is an alien, he just looks human

>>23800865
It's actually not stated if he's alien or human. We know the Ring refuses non-human-like lifeforms, given Fuma's mentor was denied, but Juggler was also denied and we know he's an alien who just looks human.
>But Gai and Juggler are from the same planet
They just lived on the same planet for some time, and spacefaring in the Ultra setting has always been ridiculously easy, so it's impossible to determine if it's their home planet.

>>23800876
There are enough "aliens" in the Ultra universe that are basically identical to humans that it's a moot point. Hell, the M78 Ultras were identical to humans before the Plasma Spark mutated them. The U40 Ultras are humans most of the time as well.

>>23800635
yeah i really want this gimmick to come back. Just partial changes with kaiju parts and one bits of armor or some clothing (like a scarf resembling dorako's wings as example).

It’s kinda pointless since the average kaiju and alien can easily go toe-to-toe with an ultra.
Humans and human-like aliens are at a massive size disadvantage.

What's your message to Ultraman Mebius and his series on his 20th anniversary?

>>23808540
"I never watched your show. But you look cool."

>>23808540
One of the most unique Ultra design and they never really replicate something like it because current design tends to just use Man (or Seven) as templates.

>>23808540
Still the creme de la creme

>>23808536
he looks like he's been losing weight

>>23808545
at least they're using Ace for theo

>>23808714
With the nose its more Leo/80

>>23808714
I meant for body as well. Most Ultra body designs nowadays just followed Man. It's why Arc looks so derivative to me. Even Theo feels like his body pattern is built up from Man

>>23808751
Orb's also literally very close to Man's, like 95%. Just more black with red being accents.

American Handegg Ichigo was such a bizarre thing that was just memoryholed after the Fourze movie.

>>23809105
Probably because the movie was framed as and was intended to be Fujioka's last run as Hongo, but that clearly didn't pan out.

>>23809105
Ghost, not Fourze.

>>23809138
I think it's really more about no one liking the movie and the design being associated with that. Note it was after this movie that they tried to hide that Osamu Kaneda (this movie's director) was Chou SHT's director, only revealing the name officially when they did the first screenings of the CSHT. All previous material avoided naming the director.

People liked the movie quit being a faggot.
It’s more about Fujioka liking the role too much to step away from it.

>>23808769
Orb kinda gets a bit of a pass due to being 50th anniversary plus his whole design is based on past Ultras (I'm certain Spacium Zeperion is the first form designed with Origin being simplified, like how Alpha Edge is the first Z formed design and Original was simplified from it). Hoenstly Arc could've benefitted from a more original pattern. Or hey, his gimmick is a cube, maybe make a squred/pixelated design? There's already a Jack homage redesign which fits so much better.

>>23805863
I'm like three volumes behind because I was just so fucking bored. Absolutely nothing notable has happened in the story in real-world years. I feel like if I never picked it back up I wouldn't be missing anything.

>>23808536

>>23810742

>People liked the movie quit being a faggot.
It had the second lowest box office for a Rider movie at the time, only beating The Next. Like I said, it was bad enough they outright tried to hide Osamu Kaneda's involvement in Chou Super Hero Taisen the next year. These two spring movies bombing consecutively resulted in the spring Rider movies dying.

The basic gameplay is fun although the characters feel too "light" for giants in a way. Like you can have a kaiju jump on top of a building and it only breaks down when it's hit with an attack, not just by the giant monster jumping on top.

Aside from that, the worst part is that the Arcade mode doesn't include DLC characters as opponents, only the base roster (you can play as them, but not against them outside of versus mode, which can be set up as versus CPU).

Finished up 1966 as I'm just starting on Ultraman.
Unique, I'm not used to Showa toku but it definitely has that blood of a pioneer being more a show about the Science Team than Ultraman. I really liked Ide, the combination of being the goofball and the tech guy was neat.
Favorite episode overall was "Brother From Another Planet," also really liked the Monster Graveyard and the kid's drawing coming to life episode.
Thinking of going to either Mebius, Geed or X next. Kinda looking for something that is more suited to my tastes where I like more character-driven plots and a unique theme that the series is centered on (like my favorite Kamen Rider is OOO). Kind of hoping for something that emphasizes the Ultra/Human relationship specifically.

>Thinking of going to either Mebius, Geed or X next. Kinda looking for something that is more suited to my tastes where I like more character-driven plots and a unique theme that the series is centered on (like my favorite Kamen Rider is OOO). Kind of hoping for something that emphasizes the Ultra/Human relationship specifically.
Out of those three (and really out of all of Ultra in general), Mebius is the one you're looking for, albeit as a sequel to all of showa Ultra, it's gonna have throwbacks to stuff you won't know about unless you watch the rest of showa. It explains what you need to know of course, but it doesn't feel quite as reward without going through all the rest of it
Geed and X are utter mediocrities, especially Geed. It's crazy how much potential Geed utterly wastes

Mebius’ first fight is really funny.
The dude just flips around, not making a scratch on the enemy until his color timer starts and then one shots it with his beam.

using the building as a shield is crazy though.

>>23812511
You want to go to Tiga next anon. Out of what you listed though you'll want to watch Mebius. X just isn't that great despite having some episodes that focus on their MOtW really well, and Geed was so embarassingly bad I dropped it after like 1 or 2 episodes. Tiga is one of my favorite series of all time across all mediums though. It even outshines the original series which has a ton of charm in it of itself, so I highly recommend Tiga

>>23813665
Mebius is interesting because he's actually pretty weak throughout the whole show. He only becomes a top tier ultra towards the end. Its cool.

>>23813977
>he's actually pretty weak throughout the whole show.
Not even his upgrades forms completely fix his "weak" status pre-finale?

>>23813977
to be fair a lot of ultras are weak in their show. Z for one is very weak, fresh off graduating the academy. borrowing powers the whole time until very end where he fights with haruki in base form. Geed i'd say is quite week too, unable to maintain an ultra-form by himself at all. R/B are complete rookies. I guess Jack is quite weak too? last i checked he held the record loss of any ultra in a show

>>23813998
he only gets one upgrade form and thats over halfway through the show, and even then he uses it sparingly

>>23814131
Jack kills a galaxy sized monster not even halfway through the show, Effortlessly too.

>>23813665
>Mebius’ first fight is really funny.
The funniest part is how everyone is pissed at him afterwards.

>>23814201
Not everyone, just Ryu
Everyone else is just happy to be alive and to see a new Ultraman again after a few decades

>>23813998
Not really. It's deliberately done that way so that Mebius and GUYS have about equal spotlight. They have to work together (and sometimes also with other Ultras) to win.

>>23814217
I'll be honest, I can't stand Ryu. He's just a screaming angsty idiot most of the time.

>>23814228
>He's just a screaming angsty idiot most of the time.
He had some trauma, that's part of his character development. He was super confident in GUYS then on their very first mission they failed completely and he lost his mentor. Him letting that go is his arc.

>>23814217
GUYS is cool in that while they don't get many kills compared to other attack teams, without them Mebius would be fucked.

>>23814155
I thought he had Brave and Burning Brave as his pre-finale upgrade forms.

>Transformation Device: The user directly holds the color timer to transform (similar in style to Jonias).
>Operation Method: Press the front of the timer; there may also be buttons on the side.

Collection Elements (Collaboration Items):
>The transformation device has a **reading function**.

This would be a great anime for kids. Cartoony art style. Doraemon, Digimon, whatever, but just Ultraman obviously.

Synopsis
>Somewhere in the universe lies Planet H12 (pronounced “H-One-Two”). This planet, which closely resembles Earth, is suddenly attacked by space kaiju from another planet.
>As the planet collapses and faces extinction, one lone alien escapes to Earth. Named “Teo”, the lonely alien who will eventually grow to become Ultraman.
>On Earth, he lives as Ibuki Mitsuishi, a third-year veterinary student at Meishin University. Although he struggles with the common sense of Earthlings, he leads a peaceful life communicating with the animals he loves. However, the peace is disrupted by a crisis where the same space kaiju who destroyed his home planet suddenly appears on Earth.
>When his strong desire to protect overcomes the fear in his heart, a brilliant light transforms Ibuki into a blue giant of light!

Comment
>“Working on a tokusatsu production was a wish I had always had, and with Ultraman Teo, that dream has come true. Coincidentally, this year marks the 60th anniversary since the first Ultraman aired, which makes me feel a great sense of responsibility. Participating in this project has made me realize once again that every Ultra born so far has been an irreplaceable and special existence, which is why the series has been loved for so long. I feel greatly honored to receive the baton and carry it into the future. For me, Ultraman Teo has become an irreplaceable and special existence. If this work becomes a special Ultra for someone else as well, I would be more than happy.”

Comment
>“I was shocked when I was asked to participate in the Ultraman series, which I’ve watched since I was a child—especially since I’m taking on the role of Lead Director for my first time, and for the 60th-anniversary project. However, my excitement far outweighed my nerves, and I decided to dive in. As a newcomer to tokusatsu, I was unsure of many things, but the staff of the Ultraman series welcomed me warmly. With their help, we were able to capture many wonderful scenes. For the tokusatsu, veteran tokusatsu directors have captured incredible and powerful shots. This story follows the growth of Teo and the characters around him as they struggle with and accept different existences—Earthlings, Ultras, aliens, and kaiju—and support each other. Please look forward to seeing their ‘youth,’ their ‘struggles,’ their ‘friendship,’ and an unprecedented new Ultra who is ‘not fond of conflict.’”

I was a bit hesitant at first, thinking, ‘Wait, I just finished being the lead director for Ultraman Arc, my heart is still…’ but then I heard the charming phrase ‘Main Tokusatsu Director.’ That’s it, ‘Tokusatsu Director’! That glittering and dazzling word I admired as a child! Overwhelmed with excitement, I read the project proposal and script as if devouring them.

To reflect his journey of growing into a hero step-by-step, I balanced a friendly, approachable design with the classic coolness of an Ultra. I truly believe Teo will become a friend to everyone, and I would be happy if you like him.”

First, Project RED's second installment coming this September focuses on kaiju hunting and collecting (think Maquette Kaiju from Mebius). Now this, which is a story of second chances. Add human host to the list of what's gone in Teo, this is probably an act for Tsuburaya to torch the franchise and run at this rate, but if this will be more story-focused like the original Showa series, then the only heavy lifting they can ever do is the Blu-ray and subscription sales.

The Ultrize Eye, the one toy that actually serves to pull away Legend Ultra collectibles from Teo. It is indeed tied to that new Zero movie, as it gives him the ability to transform into Ultraman Zero Cosmorize. And the Live Sign thing from Ginga is called Ultra Cosmorize, which its root word was taken from "memorize," despite using the Z in so many things but now has one term that the spelling makes sense.
