>>22604150I think it's just Saga counted as New Gen Ultraman

>>22604218Seems to be references towards Builgamo
>>22604218For what looks like an obvious goofy support thing, it being 2m tall is weirdAlso its torso looks like a second face
>>22604218They said the head is a detachable drone right? So it's basically a Haro on legs?
>>22604218I hope its evil version would be call YouPi Blood
Hey you, I'm gonna say the words...
>>22604434Is it America? Because Hanna Barbera Uktras were cool.
That's it! You asked for it! Shobai Hanjo!Shobai Hanjo!Shobai Hanjo!
>>22604086Gubila once more
>>22604443The fuck is this wojak?
>>22604731Stephen Colbert.
>>22600431>>The main roles of SKIP are to investigate the locations where Kaiju are suspected to appear, and to survey and research the damage and contamination after the appearance of Kaiju. The Earth Defense Force is responsible for the extermination and destruction of Kaiju. The setting of an organization whose mission is not to exterminate Kaiju should invite new perspectives to the drama.Yeah, so this is definitely 100% a Cosmos throwbackAlthough the way this is phrased, it's making SKIP seem more like FEMA than a kaiju protection group. I don't understand how it'll work if SKIP only deals with the aftermath
>>22604090I understand Saga but why they're always consider Gingavictory as a separate Ultra?
>>22604090>No trigger dark
>>22604729Well I'll be shocked, you really called it
>>22604078How long until we get an Ultraman ə (Schwa)?
>>22604150He's pretty much expected in the next UGF.>>22604090It's kinda weird how they include GingaVictory but not Ruebe (and Groob).
>>22604086I know it likely won’t happen but I’m still hoping they’ll bring back a one-off or less used kaiju.
Got these poorfag option articulated hands for old DX Earthy since my P-bandai skipped out on the Complete Edition (twice).
They are made by Dalin, meant to work with 1/100 MG gunpla. The fingers are little more slender than I wanted and the metallic grey is darker than the DX's, but whatever beggars can't be choosers. The good thing though, is that their largest balljoint adapter happens to be the right fit for stock hand's hole so you can use it without modding. Helps that the forearms are made of bendy plastic so they don't have to be too precise.
>>22606233here's the product pic, the joint circled is the one used.
Now he can finally punch instead of slapfight, I'm sooooooooooo happy.
>>22606857Wife.
>>22606866Cute
>>22605892I am so fucking tired of Gubila.
>>22604563I want this Zetton
>>22604218I like the bunny face in the chest going up to the collar
>>22604218I hate it. Too many goofy mascots nowadays.
>>22607433What other type of mascots are there? Washable? Tax exempt? Edible ones?

Quite awhile ago I lost my Ultra Folder on my harddrive, it was give or take from Ginga to TriggerWhere can I even get batches of the the series without having to go on Nyaa and hard search and pick and choose/rebuild from several uploads?There used to be a good batch I swear I remember
Menhera Rinne... is CUTE!!!
ANON! Why haven't you been working on that backlog already?! Do you not take pride in your /m78/ shitposts?! Then hurry up and get on with watching that backlog already! GO!
>Type ABased.
https://tsuburaya-prod.com/news/7250>This week’s update is about Shu Ishido, the buddy of Yuma Hize>Shu Ishido (Age 25)>He is a special investigator assigned by the Space Science Division of the Global Defense Force (GDF) joining Yuma at SKIP (Scientific Kaiju Investigation and Prevention center). He tackles kaiju disasters as one of Yuma’s fellows.>Although he specializes in research and investigation of aliens and space kaiju, as a GDF member, he is the only one permitted to use the Elemagun, an anti-kaiju gun. Though he is generally a calm and logical elite who is always in a formal suit, whenever he has trouble obtaining a certain beverage, he gets flustered and becomes an entirely different person. After his encounter with Yuma, who has a pure personality and abundant imagination, he gradually develops sympathy for Yuma as they begin to understand each other.
>>22611783>Cast: Sho KanetaShu will be played by young actor Sho Kaneta.Born on January 9, 2000 (age 24) in Hokkaido. Affiliated with Shochiku Entertainment.>ProfileHe made his debut after being selected as a finalist in the 32nd Junon Superboy Contest in 2019. He is an emerging chameleon actor, who initially gives off a cool and humble impression, but overturns that by fascinating the audience with his passionate acting. Fully utilizing his acting experiences in TV dramas and movies, he portrays Shu, an elite investigator almost like a role tailor-made for him, in a refreshing style.>Comment from Sho Kaneta>Nice to meet everyone. I am Sho Kaneta and I play the role of Shu Ishido. For a project as monumental as Ultraman, I was mixed with various emotions of not only joy but also worry and nervousness. However, we’ve been crafting this piece together with everyone pitching in and working together. Just as Shu Ishido develops as a person through overcoming various challenges, I hope you’ll also witness my own personal growth along the journey.>To believe.>In today’s world, where we often become worried or afraid from not knowing what to believe in, I hope you’ll find inspiration in the courage and strength of belief portrayed in Ultraman Arc!
>>22606857>>22606866>>22611406>>22611408I'm warning you, Euzeth. Get out of the board!
>>22612052Don't give him attention.
Color was posting this before the cast announcement and delete it after finding out today is not the heroine reveal possibly don't want Tsuburaya raiding his place.>Ultraman Arc heroine, Mizutani Kaho

Man really is a dead thread huh?
https://x.com/aws49T8EvYnPX7U/status/1786588086056661196
>>22612178Holy shit better looking than the last heroines
>>22612745No new content to talk about
Any words about the Absolutions? Haven't heard anything about them despite the whole build up.
>>22612539Is Arc back to slapfighting?
>>22612745Waiting for Arc to premiere.
>>22612996There's no word on new UGF at all. My guess is that they wanna wait on more Ultras post-Z (maybe after the series after Arc, which coincides with 60th anniversary timing). Since they already showed 95% of Ultramen, the only ones that didn't are (actual) TDG and especially Agul, and Saga.
>>22611592Funny you post this since I'm currently making my way through Dyna.
So somehow the original Japanese version of Ultraseven episode 12 just leaked on Bilibili. Quality is dog ass, but at least it's no longer lost media. https://b23.tv/Eoun19N
>>22612996>>22614496Didn't they basically get finished off in the last mini-series? They weren't all killed, but it'd be weird to try to place them as big enemies again when they've lost even in their home country now. Even if there is a new UGF I'd expect a new enemy.
>all of these Dyna novels that will never be translatedThe suffering...
So why am I not allowed to like Blazar?
>>22615803This isn't /krg/. You're allowed to like things.
>>22615806My bad, anon. Seemed like there was a loud minority shitting on the show.
>>22615807Sounds like contrarians and baiters bitching and baiting for the sake of bitching and baiting.
>>22615723Regulos got rescued but that's about it. They're still around, Absolute Titan was in the middle of a character arc, we still don't really know what the Absolutians' real endgame is, and there's that Absolutian lady that still hasn't shown up.
>>22615803You're allowed to but I think the hate comes from the trailer being rather misleading and the pacing being slow even by modern Ultra standards. The whole show sort of suffers from a general identity crisis, it tries to be everything for everyone and fails
>>22615866You have a wrong opinion and I'll kick your ass.
Anyone happen to have an image of that old knockoff of what appears to be Red King with a giant human skull and Baltan's claws? Similar print quality to these.
I just finally finished Tiga, the main series at least (still need to find the movies & specials). It was very good! The characters were all quite well defined and I really liked the plots for the individual episodes. I loved how it all came together in the end.How necessary is watching the movies and the like before watching Dyna?
>>22616327All of Tiga's movies came out after Dyna aired. so noneReally you don't even need to have watched Tiga itself to enjoy DynaThere are some returning characters in a few episodes, but the continuity is generally just of a nice bonus than it is an imposition to watch the prior show. If you hadn't seen Tiga, you might have just mistaken the Tiga characters as regular episodic oneoff characters and been none the wiserThat said, one of the most powerful episodes of Dyna is episode 19. which is a direct sequel to episode 15 of Tiga. That one made me shed a few tears
>>22615886It tries too hard to be the new Leo, the new Nexus, and a new standalone story all at once and can't decide which one it actually wants to be
>>22616388Blazar doesn't feel like Leo or Nexus at allLike not even remotely. I have no clue how you could even think that
>>22616407More focus on martial arts, Blazar's design language is derivative of Ultra N (NUH UH IT'S TOTALLY AN ORIGINAL DESIGN WITH NO INSPIRATION FROM ANYTHING ELSE IF THEY REFERENCE NEXUS EVER AGAIN I WILL BURN DOWN TSUPRO HQ)
>>22616552>focus on martial artsWhat? Where?>derivative of Ultra NNexus stuff was insectoid themed. Blazar does not look insectoid in the slightest. I mean guess both are fairly big departures from standard Ultra design, but so was Geed and no one claims Geed was anything like Nexus
>>22616552Off season doesn't mean you don't take ur meds
>>22616562Noa erasure>>22616571Not denying that this thread wouldn't do that, given their historical viewing of Nexus in either hatred or indifference
I'm so fucking bored, news wen
>>22616388the fuck are you talking about
>>22616388>It tries to hard to be the new LeoLmao>the new NexusLmao
>>22615866I liked it and felt it was better than recent onesDefinitely better than Trigger or dog ass Decker
>>22615866>>22616388Looks like an /m78/ anon wants to be as dumb if not dumber than /krg/ posters.
>>22615866It has a few standout episodes (e.g. Garamon, the Nijikagachi arc, Zangill) but it definitely had a tone/direction problem, especially after that first episode set a particular precedent.SKaRD is also the least interesting/overall effective team we've had in a while. I like Blazar the Ultraman a lot though. Great design and the whole space monkey man thing is fun.
>>22616815>but it definitely had a tone/direction problem, especially after that first episode set a particular precedent.What precedent did it set that clashed with later tone or direction? I'm not seeing the problem.>SKaRD is also the least interestingYou mean most. Don't tell me you felt anything for the nobodies in Trigger's version of GUTS-Select or anyone not named Haruki or Hebikura in Z or anyone at all in TaigaEven Decker's GUTS-select, while better than the aforementioned, did not produce anything like the Emi subplot we got in Blazar
>>22616826Why has Blazar become the Ultra equivalent of Rick and Morty? The plots aren't even similar yet it attracts the same kinds of fans
Same thing every time.
>>22616867>SKaRD does things better then GUTS-select.>omg the Ultra equivalent of Rick and Morty.Come on, son.
It’s crazy how much they made Earth Garon job. I don’t think that machine had any solo wins
>>22616826>what precedent did it set?the precedent that gento is a good captain. but he isnt. in fact we only ever see his "think" ability a grand total of ONCE in the whole show. we dont see the coordination of the first episode at all. >SKaRDProbably the least effective attack team in the whole Ultra series with Jobbergaron not wining a single fight. Yoko in STORAGE actually managed to kill the monster while saving the Ultraman and Guts select actually manages to assist Trigger while also being a completely new team just like SKaRD. Mitsukini's episode was pure kino. Admit it, anon. You hate reiwa Ultra and youre only pretending to like Blazar because somehow in your mind you though it was a Nexus-like show. The way that you disregard past attack team just to glaze SKaRD makes you look like the /krg/fag more than anyone
>>22617094>the precedent that gento is a good captain.he did the same shit in the first episode he does in every other episode. Runs off to check something that doesn't really matter (and which he should have delegated to a subordinate), trips out and becomes Ultraman>we dont see the coordination of the first episode at all. What coordination? He tells the fighter guys to lure the monster to him. That's it. You act like he had some kind of complex plan. The fighters are absent from episode 4 onwards specifically because Earth Garon is kaiju sized and having combined arms tactics risks friendly fire, as explained in episode 3.>Probably the least effective attack team in the whole Ultra seriesSpoken like someone who hasn't watched any showa Ultra whatsoever. SKaRD was easily more effective than MAT, TAC, XIG and UPG. I'd argue they were better than UGM and HEART as well. Further this isn't even relevant to how good the show was at storytelling>You hate reiwa Ultra and youre only pretending to like Blazar because somehow in your mind you though it was a Nexus-like showBlazar wasn't anything like Nexus and good thing too, if it was, I'd probably like it less than Nexus instead of more.
>>22617125back at you faggotthe only KR I've even watched is 555 and it was fucking garbage
>>22617126>>22617125>>22617112>>22617094Don't fight each other, anons. Smile, smile.
>>22617126nice larp retard im sure you'll convince yourself if you keep it up
>>22616407The Nexus comparison was because of the serious vibe in the early promos until the first episode, beyond that the show was less serious but more on the "realistic" approach.
>>22617343Well Nexus wasn't realistic in the slightest unless you're an idiot that thinks dark=realisticSo if it's just a comparison that only made sense for Blazar's promo trailers instead of the actual show, it makes no sense for the comparison to still be happening
>>22617350I'm not saying Nexus is realistic because it's a show about giant aliens anyway, but it does feel darker.Maybe if we're omitting the Nexus comparison, there are still Blazar fans who think their favorite show is better only because of no "muh seniors"
>>22616815>space monkey manits all by gento though
>>22617129There's no other Ultra series that gets endlessly presented as being some form of "High brow art" It's like Blazar is an Anti-Nexus, religiously defended instead of blindly trashed and dismissed, its flaws would only be apparent if it was shown at a later time slot
>>22617443>Things that only exist in deranged anon's head.
>>22617459As soon as Arc airs you'll drop this pretend hype for it and start trashing it for being too cliche
>>22617465I won't but you'll still delude yourself into thinking so.
>>22617472You only have your word to guarantee that
>>22617478Unlike how you have 15 voices in your head keeping you in check.
>>22617465Honestly what hype for Arc are you even talking about? There's a reason this general is so dead. The trailer dropped and everyone was like "oh this looks alright, lol cubes, really? There's just nothing to latch onto to be excited about, especially since it looks like even more fucking nostalgiawank, as if the last 20 years haven't had enough of that
>>22617650I mean, they're going with original monsters and no past Ultra-forms. The nostalgia is more on the general aesthetic/structural, and without that you can end up with something like modern Kamen Rider which is just a meaningless brand.
>>22617696>I mean, they're going with original monsters No they aren't. The only monsters we've seen so far are Antlar in the trailer and Eleking in the magazine scans. No sight of anything original.>and no past Ultra-formsYeah, Trigger and Decker didn't have those either but they were still obvious nostalgiawank, and so is Arc. All signs point to this just being New Generation Cosmos
New chapter of Daiji Kazumine's Ultraman manga,& at last, we've reached the first of the original stories!https://mangadex.org/title/39801903-3b03-4704-98ea-a9f2d80bdadf/ultraman
>>22617780>All signs point to this just being New Generation CosmosYet it also incorporates elements of Shin Ultraman, with "Lucien" and "Lipiah" sounding similar
>>22615077Dyna is very rewatchable.
>>22617780>No they aren't. The only monsters we've seen so far are Antlar Antlar?>Yeah, Trigger and Decker didn't have those eitherI mean, Trigger's and Decker's forms were obvious Tiga and Dyna references though.
>>22617780> Trigger and Decker didn't have those eitherTrigger had Z and Ribut shilling past Ultra Hyper Keys Decker literally was using Dyna and Tiga cards with his sword
>>22618123>Holding hands, Tongue wrestling while you press against her jelly door
Brand new FRS kit announcement for Shizuoka Hobby Show 2024: Figure-Rise Standard Ultraman Tiga Multi Type
>>22617650I abhor Arc's body design, but I love the cube gimmick, and his sword. That's it.
>>22616815The way SKaRD was treated was my only real issue with the show. They weren't really treated as being incompetent or silly compare to any other team but they got so little respect. Then again I don't think most other teams were just expected to outperform their show's Ultra as a bare minimum.
>>22617094>we only ever see his "think" ability a grand total of ONCE in the whole show.He uses it again when he's fighting the bomber kaiju, while he's Blazar. So I think that's twice.
Does anyone know where to read Uchiyama Mamoru The Ultraman Manga?
are showa ultraman shows legimately good? my experience with old kamen rider has been terrible so i tend to avoid shows made before 2000.
>>22619113The first two are. All the rest of them turn to shit by the halfway point or earlierFucking crazy how it took three decades to produce a cast as good as the one in the original show
>>22618591Arc doesn't have a "Good" ultra face, desu. his face has "evil" proportions compared to past ultras with the heavy brow and small eyes
>>22617650>there's a reason this general is so deadYeah, and that is because this general is a schizo central. Just look at the retard around here.
>SWATCHWhat did he mean by this?
Currently on episode 5 of Jack and really enjoying it. Do modern ultramen still use the color timer?
>>22620418The only one who doesn't is shinman.
https://www.bandainamco.co.jp/files/ir/financialstatements/pdf/20240509_Complement.pdf
>>22621154They expected 21.5 billion from the 2023 projection (they lowered the projection to 20 billion after the three quarter report), so it's significantly worse than they expected
>>22621169 (me)Deleted the old post. It's the first time with no increase in sales compared to last year but overseas sales being higher than Japan's already happened before 2024.
>>22621187Not suprising, Ultra overseas sales is always stronger than domestic one
>>22621409Not during Z (2021), domestic sales dominate in all 4 quarters back then (it's 8.3 billion vs 0.4 billion for the last quarter). I am pretty sure that was the case before Z too, not until Trigger that overseas sales (China) become the majority.
>>22621411>8.3 billion vs 0.4 billion4.9 vs 3.7 lol, I don't know what I was thinking about when writing this
Does anyone have a comparison chart with the sales of previous series (preferably in English)?
>>22621569It would be good if it was the same as Kamen Rider and Super Sentai's charts.
>>22621154transcribe pls
>>22622327Throw in Google lens
>>22621154is it good or bad
>>22622332Both Japanese toys and groupwide/worldwide numbers are lower than last years' (191 vs 195, 83 vs 92). They also missed Bandai's projections. So, at least toy-wise (since this is Bandai), Blazar was a misfire.
>>22622397The trend of every year outearning the previous year had to end at some point. Blazar still did better than most of new gen. It might not have outsold Decker but it probably did about on par with it accounting for Shin Ultraman making up the difference in 2022. And it's remarkable that it was able to accomplish this without shilling a dozen different forms or nostalgia pandering

While still in high school, she also achieved a role in a movie and released a photo album. After graduation, she came to Tokyo to further pursue her career in entertainment, experiencing various roles as singer, narrator and weather presenter while building her career in acting, which made her capable of obtaining leading roles in TV dramas and movies.Comment from Kaho Mizutani>I am Kaho Mizutani and I play Rin Natsume. Rin is cheerful and reliable, like an elder sister to SKIP members. I hope I can bring the affinity to the audience and let them feel that the Ultraman world is close to us. For myself, I always love the shows I used to watch as a kid and have grown up under their influence. I will do my best so that Ultraman Arc can be a show like that to everyone. Looking forward to the day when everyone sees it!
>>22623247Just like the leak said >>22612178
>>22623244Holy shit she mogs the previous heroines.
>>22623256SKaRD girls felt more like actual soldiers than heroines to be honest.
>>22623256Both SKarD girls are stunt actresses anon, they are gorgeous by that standard.
>>22623269If I'm not wrong Himena (Emi) has always been an actress first but don't appear much, I remember her as a student extra in Mr. Hiiragi Class or something (the one starring KR Double's Phillip as the MC), she learns martial arts from Tak Sakaguchi.
>>22623244LOOK AT HOW THEM MOM JEANS HANGWE GETTIN FAT BITCHES IN ARC, HELL YEAH
>>22622397Back to multiple forms formula
>>22622896eh, thats not a huge drop really
>>22622896What exactly did Trigger do to double Ultra's revenue?
>>22624195The large jump was mostly on group-wise, not Japanese toy-sales, so it was likely related to their Chinese side.
>>22622397BIDF will still claim this is fake news made by schizos and that Blazar really sold the best of all Reiwa shows combined
How likely is our chances of getting a reunion movie like what Sentai/Rider is doing right now?
>finally reach tiga after watching the showa stuff>think that it's probably overrated as fuck and its probably not as good as og, seven or rou>mfw finish it and it's fucking fantasticmy only big issue is a lot of the kaiju and aliens weren't that memorable aside from a select few, my favorite villain is probably alien manon from that jissoji episode, that was cool as fuck.
>>22624632It's surprising how good a show can get when the producers literally do not give a shit about budget and nearly bankrupt themselves spending as much money as possible on everything.

>>22624613Saito actually looking not bad in that photo. I remember thinking she was kinda horsefaced in the show itself
>>22624613Tiga 30th anniversary movie in 2026 with cameos from Dyna characters (Asuka is still in another universes tho)
>>22624632You'll love Dyna too then, it's basically just more Tiga except half the team is hotblooded and Dyna's 3 forms actually do seem to do different things
>>22624666>Asuka is still in another universes thoSo what lolBeing in another universe doesn't mean anything anymore even for Dyna. Saga, Origin Saga and Decker are all in different universes from M78.
are Ultras the salt or sugar in this analogy?
>>22624984This bitch really got me into watching a recap show. I love her so much bros.
>>22624613You could argue Superior Ultraman 8 Brothers is one.
>>22623266>>22623269I meant not just Blazar, even including Decker, Trigger and Z. All those heroines are charming in their own ways but Kaho seems to be my type.
>page 7/m78/ fell off
>>22626655there's nothing sadly. Ark flopped.
It's always nice to see current and past Ultras together
>>22626804never noticed decker so thic
>>22624670I just started watching. I didn't think the opening could've been as good as take me higher but fucking hell thats good
>>22627124Really? I wasn't a fan of Dyna's OP. I thought Tiga had a better OST in general. I love eurobeat though and it's still so fucking funny to me that an Ultra show has a eurobeat OP
>>22627282maybe it's not as good but i just have a strong bias towards OPs that scream the name of the show
>>22604150>Arc sharing a lot of Cosmos elements>Z being so fusion compatible and Decker is practically Saga's sonNew Gen Saga is coming
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVCIRPGayGo
This mini-black hole move seems OP.
>>22628409You'll see. It makes it much more impactful when the move doesn't work.
https://toy.bandai.co.jp/series/ultraman/item/detail/13921/Wished X had a budget armor-up figure like this when it was airing.
>>22628559
>>22628561me putting on my nightmare vision goggles
>>22628582But everything looks the same...
>>22624613We already missed that chance during Trigger and Decker. Why would you want that? Most reunion movies are either pointless or ruins the original show
Why are returning Ultras such dicks in the Showa shows?
>>22629794It's just Man and Seven. Ace and Jack were fine. But, yeah, they're basically used to prop up the current hero, even if it makes them look bad, especially in Taro and Leo.
Dyna's OP sounds more appetizing when you replace "Dyna" with "Diner"
New chapter of Daiji Kazumine's Ultraman, & it's another original story!https://mangadex.org/title/39801903-3b03-4704-98ea-a9f2d80bdadf/ultraman
>>22624755Asuka is forever "in another universe" because his actor openly acknowledges Taiwan as a country and China doesn't like when you do that.
>>22630550He still shoes up at live shows and Tsuburaya follows him on multiple Twitter accounts. Chinks don't really care like you think they do, it's a boomer problem and Chink Ultrafans are anywhere from toddlers to like mid-30s. Only reason he hasn't been showing up is he's busy traveling for documentary shows for TV Tokyo.
Where can I find subbed releases of Sevenger Fight?
>>22630582You're saying it's impossible for CCP trolls to try and erase Asuka?
>>22630741Brother, I am one of the biggest western China shills out there. Actors are retarded and I don't care about their political opinions. All I know is that Asuka is a top 3 Ultra protagonist. Sperging about his actor accomplishes nothing.
>>22630741Oh, it's you, and you're doing picrel again. Go take your meds.
No, schizokun, the Wumao party do not dedicate their time to erasing a Japanese guy who was the lead actor in a kids' show from almost 30 years ago because he said 台湾 instead of 中国 once on an app the Chinese legally cannot access.
>>22630818counter argument: even if the evil chinks are erasing Asuka, what's TsuPro gonna do about it? So far it's a fat load of nothing, so clearly not even TsuPro gives a fuck about what wing politics some actor believes inFuck, do even nips care about this? So far it sounds like only weird /pol/locks and redditors give a fuck about this nothingburger
>>22630913Literally no one cares. Tsuruno hasn't left the public eye of media at all ever since the Taiwan shit either, because no one's bothered. Only politicsbrained Americans care and they're not the target audience for anything Ultraman anyway.
>Expect Pacifist Ultraman>Get Kung Fu UltramanPleasantly surprised.
>>22631000Cosmos doing the crane style pose all the time makes me smilealso checked
Did anything happen with that card game?
>Orb was 4 years old when Z premiered>Orb was 8 years old and Z was 4 years old when Blazar premieredTaguchi.. you can't keep me in the blind like this..That Tsujimoto guy they got for Arc is pretty promising though. He directed some of my favorite Z and Blazar episodes.
does anyone know nihongo?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbpIhe04PM8
So far I feel like every kaiju in ROU has been very memorable. I’m surprised they brought up ww2 in the poison gas episode. Very bold

>>22622397According to Tsupros financial breakdown, it seems that Blazar did outsold Decker. The main reason for the dip in overall sales is due to the card game getting discontinuedhttps://www.tsuburaya-fields.co.jp/ir/e/investors/performance/latest/
>>22633159That shit looks so generic
>>22633323And that's exactly why it will sell better than Blazar.
>>22633159>Gomora>Baltan>Skydon(?)>NerongaNeat.>Abare-Oh...Huh.
>>22633159Holy FUCK this looks like absolute dogshitIt's trying WAY too hard to be SpiderverseThe designs are awful, dialogue is atrocious, animation is awfullooks insanely generic and Marvel tierchrist
>>22633507If you think this is awful animation, I can't wait to see what you think good animation looks like because it must be the greatest piece of animation to ever exist.
>>22633351>Abaren-OhAbsolutely based.
>>22633255And Decker sold cards. Never. Doubt. Cards
>>22633818I don't think anyone has ever doubted the market power of cards. I think it's more a case of the fact cards are inherently very boring collectibles on their own.
Rumor said SKIP captain's actor is previously a Sentai Red from the 2000s.
>>22633823Yeah, if there's one thing I gotta admit, Chemmy Cards are way cooler than Dimension and Fusion Rise. The Cybers were amazing, and I seriously am disappointed the Ultra Replica X Devizer didn't give us even one new Cyber variant
>>22633847Why are you like this?
>>22633846I hope this is true. Alata and Takeru are definitely out of discussion. Aren't Yousuke, Ryoga and Ban retired? Sousuke is too much of a sentai fanboy and he's running his own sentai podcast now. That leave either Kai, Akashi and Jan. I think Akashi could be a fine captain
>>22633159I didn't realize until now how huge Neronga's going to be in this.
>>22633905Thr cast is from Gaoranger to Magiranger but people on baidu more leaning on Gao Red or Time Fire actor's
>>22634085Time Fire feels a bit too soon after Geats so I wish it's Gao Red. I remember he was also in one of Heisei Godzilla movies.
>>22634085Holy shit both are solid choices. If either of them are cast Arc's gonna be a must watch for me, the heroine is already pulling me in.
Info just came out, it's Aba Redhttps://tsuburaya-prod.com/news/7296
>>22634415ABARED???? FUCK MAN WHAT A DILF
>>22634415man it feels weird to see people agegood for him
>>22634415>His childhood fascination with dinosaurs
>>22634415Was expecting Ban but Ryoga is fucking awesome. Loved Abaranger and he is one of my favorite Reds.>>22633905>Sainei>RetiredBuddy, if there will be more Dekaranger to milk, Ban will always be there. You can count on it.
>>22634431Ban and Sosuke definitely a no because of the former still promoting Deka 20th and the latter might appear more in Boonboomger this year.
>>22634415Yeah, I'm thinking BASED
>>22634415Arc is officially based now.
>>22634415Still based. Damn Arc just went to my first not gonna watch to being interested in watching.Still wish Arc had better design though.
I've never seen Sentai outside of maybe Gobusters. Is this AbareRed dude any good?
>>22634415Say, after getting him, is this everyone from SKIP? Four major members and a robot, or we're getting more cast members?
>>22634784Probably one more character who's either the villain like Kei and Kaburagi or more auxiliary character like Naomi's uncle from Orb or the chief dude from Blazer
>>22633351>>22634415Did they do this on purpose?
>>22634901Highly unlikely given Ultraman Rising was in production before Blazar started. It's more likely he's just a toku nerd and the Sentai/PR show that was airing during the start of his career was Abarenger/whatever the PR equivalent is called.
>>22634952The original "Made in Japan" concept was originally pitched while he was still working on Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, so that would be about right.
Very endearing how tight knight the Ultra casts are even across various series.

When aliens have their pet Kaiju, do you find that they are usually less troublesome than a solo space Kaiju? In general, there’s probably at least one super strong one per series, usually at the end like Zetton.
>>22634784I think we still get one more girl and a higher-up portrayed by an old man even older than the captain.Dunno if they're doing regular antagonist again because Blazar was really the only exception if we're counting from Orb to now.
>>22634784Could be another cast members or Opening/Ending singers
Penultimate chapter of Kazumine's Ultraman, & boy is it a doozy!https://mangadex.org/title/39801903-3b03-4704-98ea-a9f2d80bdadf/ultramanIt's based on a script made while the show was still under the working title of Redman, & according to Japanese Wikipedia, it was scrapped because by the time the show took complete shape it was too removed from the forumla, & yeah I can see that.
>>22635577This will inspire Yuka to turn Sevenger into a hot chick.
>>22635577Oh hey they updated the arc teaser bits with the recent cast reveals.
>>22605195Any /k/omandos know what gun this is?
>>22636285/k/ is a reddit board but it's a Derya Arms MK-12 A102S.
How are the Japanese reaction to Ultraman Rising?
>>22636540At least on the YouTube comments for the Japanese trailer, they seem to be generally positive.
