https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuRlaOC1vNY [Embed]Post your thoughts on Arc's aesthetics and trailer
>>22573912its gotta be a dildo
https://twitter.com/eiri00d5/status/1778085108119142834
Arc feels like a O-50 Ultra in aesthetics.
>>22573920He's pretty cool, and the forms aren't so bad.I feel like they could've added more black on the legs, or replace it with red/silver.
>>22573920my only problems with him are the blue stripes on his head and the black neckhe should either remove those, or incorporate more of them on the rest of his body
At the halfway point of ZSo far it's definitely... alrightI dunno, maybe it's just because Haruki is a really whatever protagonist, but it's not grabbing me like I feel it should. Juggler feels really wasted here, like even when he gets to do stuff, without Gai around to bounce off of, he's just nowhere near as entertaining as he was in Orb. And even then he's still the best characterApart from that, the show has all the standard new gen bullshit. I'll give it credit for King Joe STORAGE custom at least. There's been a few standout memorable scenes but I feel like everything done here was done better later on in Blazar
& so that's the first volume of Kazumine's Ultraman in the bag!https://mangadex.org/title/39801903-3b03-4704-98ea-a9f2d80bdadf/ultraman
>>22574310Did you do this anon, if so you rule and I hate to be this guy but any chance of you doing Umezu's Ultraman?
>>22574306It was a big return of the defense teams with actual equipment, and introducing robots was a big addition that has basically become a mainstay. They were actually one of the most effective ones too even compared to their successors.
>>22574568>and introducing robots well, it's kinda not so easy to be excited about it when it's just returning robots we've seen a ton alreadyExcept Sevenger of courseI feel like most teams have been pretty effective since the Heisei era began. The only ones that felt kinda shitty since then were XIG and UPGEven Team EYES from Cosmos got multiple kills
>>22574533I do intend to do Umezu's Ultraman eventually yes.Don't hold your breath on either Kazumine's or Kuwata's Ultraseven though.
>>22574662>Kuwata's UltrasevenWhy not!?
>>22574588SKARD were super incompetant
>>22574731No they weren't. They were mid tier. Got a kill, took out some small fry, managed to set up things for Blazar here and there
>>22574740what kills did they get
>>22574725I should stress that I'm not saying I'll definitively never ever do them ever, they're just not currently on the cards. As for why, I got nothing against Kuwata as an artist or his works, I'm just more of a fan of Kazumine personally, plus from what I've observed his stuff tends to be long & very densely dialogue-heavy, so that'd be more work for me. I also just generally prefer Man to Seven, again though got nothing against Seven, just personal preference. Kazumine's Seven isn't currently on the cards either because 1, like I said I personally prefer Man, & 2, Kazumine's Seven looks to be much more straightforward of an adaption of the show than his Ultraman, so no original stories. But like I said, never say die.
>>22574767I remember Earth Garon took out at least one Irugo as well as a ton of Zugugan larva, also it was Anri that made Dorgo go back to sleep
>>22574725>>22574788If you want 'em raw they're right here.https://archive.org/details/kuwataultrasevenhttps://archive.org/details/ultrasevenkazumine
>>22574767a lot (except for Reinas)
I hope they do something cool this year to store/stack the cubes. Preferably something like the Ride Book Hondana from Kamen Rider Saber. I love it.Blazar's Binder really isn't for me...
>>22573914I like how Arc has armors instead of straight up forms. X's MonsArmor was really cool and it's great to see them revisiting that.
>>22574829>pre-seriesSo, incompetence alright
>>22574860Cubes has never been a trinket in previous Rider & Sentai so I wonder what they'll reuse for storages. My guess is they'll just reuse that same case they've been using for Kyoryuger, Ex-Aid, etc, just change the inside with plastic or foam that fit the cubes.
>>22574306Z to me was the definition of "it's ok". Like there nothing outwardly wrong with the show and given the circumstances it was produced in, it's commendable that it came out as solid as did. However all the things it does well, I find other shows did better; and honestly I feel all the praise for it came more due to the timing and context of its release, being the first Ultra show released to mass audiences on youtube and coming out during particular down year for many. Had it come out any other time, I don't think it would have garnered nearly as much attention.
>>22574306finish the fucking show first retard
>>22574306The loss of the original writer (rip) is really felt. The main villain sort of doesn't do much throughout the series.

What returning kaiju do you predict for Arc
>>22575861Wouldn’t be shocked if Red King, Gomora, or Eleking showed up. I’m hoping that they use some of the one off kaiju/aliens or the ones that have only showed up a few times before. This series has a lot of neat kaiju/aliens that just end up collecting dust.
>>22575861If the show is a Max reference, I hope KeplusIf it's a Cosmos reference, Gruanfan would be my preference
what
>>22575951>WhatYeshttps://youtu.be/2lNJuYW0YvI?si=rv15zTIthIIcioNn
>>22575928It'll be both and a fusion of the two
>>22575954Man, the Barossa were fun. Hope they show up more often.
Well, I liked Z, especially since he kept drawing the letter N in the sky every episode. I had no idea the show would have this many racist dogwhistlesIn all seriousness, it was very nice to have the show not only bring back the mecha, but ultimately to make the entire story about them. It almost felt like it wasn't shoving more toys in my face. Still, it wasn't as good as Orb. It definitely needed more Juggler and Celebro for it to be a truly great show, and for there to have been more to Haruki and to have not had so many crossover episodes or returning monstersThough I'll say I won't complain about the Bullton or Greeza episodes, they were the best episodes in the show>>>>Triggeris next and oh boy I can't wait to see the best Ultra show butchered bring it on
>>22575951That entire episode is full of Tomokazu Seki references because he voices that Barossa.
>>22575861hoping for those one-shot kaijus and seijins from Taro and Leo to make a comeback, desu.
>>22573920I hate the body design. Feels like they ran out of ideas. Saw some fanart that added more black and it makes the design look more distinctive.>>22575167It didn't help that Z had a very weak main villain, to the point where Celebro barely interacts with Haruki. Say what you want about other NewGen shows, even the weak ones like Taiga, but the main villains helped with the show.
>>22576217His day will come, damn it.
>>22576305>Say what you want about other NewGen shows, even the weak ones like Taiga, but the main villains helped with the show.I highly disagree with this; I feel like villains have been restricting what these shows can be about and not really adding much in return. Juggler worked because he was an actual fun character and because the protagonist had a personal history with him, and Aizen was kinda entertaining because he introduced some parody elements, but apart from that, did anyone really actually give a fuck about Dark Lugiel, Fukuide, Saki or Tregear? I got one episode into Trigger and I don't know what the Ultrawoman's name is but she just looks like Tregear 2.0 (yes I've seen the Tiga movie and I know what she's intended to be)Celebro's the same way, he's in this dumb spot where he takes up too much of the runtime and the premise to allow for really creative and cool episodes, like, say, Town Where the Girl Disappeared, but not enough of the runtime to be a really interesting character that adds value to the show
>>22575861obviously the return of return of ultraman kaijus
>>22575861Noiseler
So did the blazar movie serve as a more conclusive ending to the series or was it like the finale which didn’t feel like one at all

https://tsuburaya-prod.com/news/7206>Arc Eye Sword, the Invincible Sword>Arc’s beloved sword, the center of which resembles the shape of his eyes. When Arc holds his hands in front of his face, the sword appears glowing in the rainbow-colored light above his eyes and the Arc Stone on his forehead. He then uses this sword to slice his enemies.>It can unleash various supernatural moves, including the Arc Sword Finish, where Arc spins and slashes the opponent as the blade shines in the rainbow color. He can also use the Arc Sword Beam by inserting the Arc Cube unleashed by Yuma’s imagination into the slot resembling the shape of the Arc Stone, and laying the sword over his eyes.
>>22576889>Solis Armor, the Armor of the Sun>The armor of the flaming sun that covers Ultraman Arc as Yuma uses the Arc Ariser to unleash the power of the Solis Armor Cube, which engraves the form that looks exactly like Yuma’s childhood drawing of “Power of the Sun”. When the Solis Core on his chest shines, the powerful armor gives Arc the power and defensive ability way beyond normal, making him excel at close-ranged combats.>It can also use supernatural moves by unleashing the power of the Solis Armor Cube with the Arc Eye Sword.
>>22576890>Luna Armor, the Armor of the Moon>The armor of blue moonlight that covers Ultraman Arc as Yuma uses the Arc Ariser to unleash the power of the Luna Armor Cube, which engraves the form that looks exactly like Yuma’s childhood drawing of “Power of the Moon”. This speedy armor increases Arc’s speed, giving him an advantage especially in aerial battles. On his left arm is the Luna Saucer, a round weapon that shoots long-range attacks like a frisbee.>It can also use supernatural moves by unleashing the power of the Luna Armor Cube with the Arc Eye Sword.

Arc has them prime birthing hips...
>>22576902I'm guessing these cubes won't have sound on their own?
>>22575861Crazygon
>>22576342>>22576342Fukuide is a pawn of Belial, and even then Belial is the true villain of the show. When he appears things gets serious with his interactions with Geed and Zero.Saki could never live up to Aizen, but as weak as she is at least she provides a backstory to the R/B Ultramen.Treagear, especially with Kirisaki's obsession towards Hiroyuki for foiling him helped with Taiga's second half which prevented it from truly being the worst series of the franchise.Carmearra however does suffer not only because she had to share with other two (and Darggon ended up having development) but her character is a one note version of Tregear even.Agams provided intense conflict against Kanata, though unfortunately it did drag on too much, not helped by how he often summoned Teraphaser only to job.The only one I can't truly say was Lugiel because even though he was meant to be Ginga's Juggler their interactions are severely limited.But all of them, even the weaker ones and tolerable and at least passes off as a villain compared to Celebro. Thing is he fits as a first half villain, like they were meant to write a new villain for second half or something, but sadly due to Fukuhara's passing things couldn't come to fruition.
>>22576937Yuma's imagination is getting crazy...
>>22576909You mean modern toku??>What is Fadoran Armor?
>>22576890>>22576891I guess this explains why the base form's body seemed so basic. The armor just goes over it.
Happy 50thhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCV92VauRA4
>>22577018>What is Fadoran Armor?An ultimate form because Bandai definitely won't let Blazar got nothing at all. That anon meant the multi forms that already revealed since the beginning.
>>22577190Blazar had a bunch of forms in the beginning too!
>>22577197Kek>>22577190I see what he means now. Still, Blazar's design works itself to carry the whole show. Him getting the new weapons are pretty much the stand-in for forms.

>>22576899Just an important thought, with not much going on with our current content (let alone any word of supporting characters, strike team or their tech), do you think the Ultra Action Figure line will be a big deal for this line considering the Armor Change gimmick with Ultraman Arc?
>>22576889I can smell a Zero Eye version of the sword gonna be released
>>22576891>jobber form
>>22576943>Carmearra however does suffer not only because she had to share with other two (and Darggon ended up having development) but her character is a one note version of Tregear even.They wasted Carmearra's human form. Cringe idea but wished they have a plot where either she infiltrate Guts or has a Kengo date relationship. Also might be generic but wished the plot is the three is trying to unseal Gatanothor other than trying to find and unlocked the Eternity Core. End with Carmearra and Dargon, after character development, wrestling inside Gatanothor which allows Trigger to have a comeback. Hudra is dead dead.

>>22581834Don't start with Nexus. It's the kind of show where in order to appreciate what it's doing, you need a frame of reference for how the franchise normally is. Start with the original show, Tiga or Blazar>>22582209>Nexus>duologywhatIf you're referring to the NEXT movie it didn't premiere until Nexus was almost finished airing and the writing in the show reflects this. You only see references to that movie towards the end of the show, and even then, you don't need the movie to understand a thing
This is why I didn't care about Ultra stats even more than the Rider ones. 50 M means nothing to me as an american, even more so when all the suit actors are roughly the same height.
>>22583280>50 M means nothing to me as an american164ft. About half a Statue of Liberty or one whole Chicago Water Tower.
>>22583280>Every female Ultra is taller than OG UltramanWoah. What the hell. I thought he was regular sized. He's micro machines.
>>22583345Need it in football fields
>>22583280Yeah, this makes no sense since they always appeared around the same size. It's not even limited to crossovers either since you have stuff like King being notably bigger than Tarou, and both are from the same series.Even Sentai is more consistent with mecha sizes (there are some inconsistencies, but they at least try here and there to use green screen to show differently sized mecha).
Sex with Rinne.
>>22581825>I wonder if it's because of the VA schedule so they can only do cameoPretty much, they should've pull a Kirisaki by casting non-voice actress as her human form.
>>22583375Half a football field.

>>22583383>you have stuff like King being notably bigger than Tarou, and both are from the same series.Do you mean Father of Ultra? Ultraman King is from Leo
man the first episode of ROU is even sadder now
>>22583403No, I meant King. Mixed up Leo and Taro somehow. My comment still works though, since Leo is shorter than Taro.
>>22583121you do realize that The Next was fucking delayed, right?
>>22583627Does it matter? Again, the show does not assume you've seen the movie at any point, even during the parts where the movie is being referenced

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MF6xv4a7tw
>>22576305Same, I feel like it needs some more complexity to fit the head better. It can't decide if it wants to be a Man-Type version of Max or a new Orb, it's so nondescript

its so unfortunate she had to star in the middest new gen show
>>22589981sex with yuka
>>22573920It feels like they wanted to do a classic throwback design but couldn't fully commit. For such a simple, no-frils design, especially compared to his predecessors, he oddly lacks a certain, I dunno, cohesion?
>>22583280It's not surprising the four Ultras that came from animated works are the biggest. You can get away with that kind of sizing in cartoons where you couldn't reuse any props or model making techniques from before.
>>22590690So if they had JAV Ultras, they would be humongous?
>>22590546>middest new gen showI thought Taiga is worse
>>22590696Do any of the Giga Ultawoman parody girls have official heights?
>>22590968Taiga is boring. Trigger is actually insufferable to many because of smile smile.
>>22590968Taiga;s not really that boring. it just suffers from the fact that there isn't an English sub release yet.
>>22591058>Trigger is actually insufferable to many because of smile smile.So this is the result of trying to make Trigger's protagonist distinct from Tiga's...
>>22591058Kengo is kind of lame as a protagonist. Most of the characters don't jive with me. Outside of the main trio, everyone in GUTS SELECT is so one note and none of them get a proper individually-focused episode.
Kengo would be a much better protagonist if he was a girl.
I hope Arc is good
I have only watched shin and blazar, my friend recommended me watch Z next. 7 episodes so far, and there are bunch of characters from previous show. Should I paused and watch older new generation show like Ginga first?
>>22592318Taro is a regular in Ginga so you'd have to watch Taro.
>>22592337So any stand alone ultraman show? I would be fine with not knowing some characters, but Z uses a lot of fusion, event the kaiju.
>>22592387Evangelion
>>22592387 Ultraman, Ultraseven, The Ultraman anime, Neos, Tiga, Dyna, Gaia, Cosmos (despite being an anniversary series it's very newcomer friendly), and Nexus.But just finish Z first.
>>22592318No I think I would rather not watch this piece of shit. This is rural chink tv.
>>22592387It doesn't matter.The shows are all standalone enough to enjoy them without prior knowledge of previous shows. Don't worry about it. The show will tell the viewers relevant things that they need to know about the old characters if its relevant to the story.
>>22592318the only returning character in Z is Zero and Juggler. Z has no shows so you can just watch some of his movies particularly the mega monster battle movie and the revenge of belial movie. then if you really wanna get to know juggler then you can watch Orb but you really dont need to watch anything from the past since the dont play that big of a part in Z's story
>>22592600meant to say Zero has no shows
>>22592607Uh Zero was a regular in Geed and and also son of Ultraseven so you need to watch those too.
>>22579833update to this, got a few more pieces of Ultraman stuff up that while not digital rips are still somethinghttps://archive.org/details/ultraman-usa-showcase-book scan of an Ultraman USA guidebookhttps://archive.org/details/ultraman-tiga-and-dyna-movie-book scan of a Battle in Hyperspace movie brochure book that also has some Ultra Nyan 2 stuff in ithttps://archive.org/details/the-ultraman-early-kaiju-showcase-guidebook a rare book covering Jonias's early kaiju battles, this will need stitching and most importantly https://archive.org/details/ultraman-taiga-super-complete-works a scan of the Ultraman Taiga chozenshu, this has not only material for Taiga's show and movie but also for Ultra Galaxy Fight and a untranslated Tregear lore thing
>>22592387Orb, despite using fusion, is pretty standalone.
>>22590051>Man-Type version of MaxEven Max was extremely distinct from Seven. Problem with Arc is that they just took Man's design and alters it a bit. You could say Gaia was Man-based too but he is distinct enough.It didn't help that we got Shin, Rising (and arguably Ribut) so Man-based design is overused.
Another new chapter of Kazumine's Ultraman, next one will be based on the Skydon episode, followed by those coveted original stories!https://mangadex.org/title/39801903-3b03-4704-98ea-a9f2d80bdadf/ultraman
>>22593039thanks
>>22593039Do you have the Ultra Galaxy Legend movie artbook?
>>22592618But to watch Geed you need to watch the Ultra Galaxy movies which introduce both Zero and Belial and to do that you need Mega Monster Battle and Ultra Seven and you need to watch Leo as well because he's one of Zero's mentors. Ultraman Saga and the related Ultra Fight miniseries are required as well because it explains where Zero got some of his new powers.
>>22593925Ultra Galaxy movie also feature all the Showa Ultras, Great, Powered and Dyna, so anon would have to watch them too.There are also Ultra Q kaiju in the movie so that to.
First impressions on Trigger: I don't hate it. It's nowhere near as interesting as Tiga and I don't like that cunt Nanase remote controlling their Macross Valkyrie thing, but it just feels great to finally be watching a show where the MC doesn't need to summon a bunch of previous Ultras to transform. Ignis seems like a fun character, I'm interested to see what they do with him>>22592600Ace appeared in Z as well
>>22594109Ace highlights an issue that I see already becoming a problem with newer Ultras. He's clearly desiged to look like a youthful hotshot type, so it's kind of weird when he acts and speaks like a sagely old man in modern Ultra. You see that with Mebius now too, especially with his current VA, and it's going to be really weird when Zero, Taiga, and Z reach that point themselves.
>>22594068Yeah gay anon's screwed. It's easier to buy into crypto than to start a New Gen show.
>>22594109>>22594124Tsuburaya using AI voices for the Ultramen soon.
Early on in Z, Haruki mentions that he "talks funny" and Z says human language is kind of tough. Is that something that didn't translate well?
>>22594124Zero, Taiga, Z are voiced by professional VAs from the very beginning. They'll age better than the older ultras suddenly getting older VAs. Zero now and Zero 15 years ago doesnt sound all too jarring and still feels like a hotshot
>>22594285Yeah. He uses a mix of modern and very antiquated Japanese and sounds very backwater. There's no way to perfectly replicate this in Japanese without lots of liberties, so the TL team kinda compensated by making Z say "Ultra-[thing]" instead which also sounds weird but has no cultural backweight on it.
>>22594124>He's clearly desiged to look like a youthful hotshot type, so it's kind of weird when he acts and speaks like a sagely old man in modern Ultra.He is, in-show even, much older than he was in his show. IRL it's been 50 years, and thousands of years in-show thanks to timeline bullshit. Also he's one of the few young hotshot Ultras who explicitly was taught to grow past it.
>>22594423>Also he's one of the few young hotshot Ultras who explicitly was taught to grow past it.I don't know where you're getting any of this information. Ultras didn't have any personality in showa (except for what their human forms showed, and even then Hokuto was as generic as they come). Ace was never portrayed as a "hotshot,"much less taught to grow past it unless this some extracanonical BS that I don't know about
>>22594441>Ultras didn't have any personality in showaDon't talk about shows you haven't seen.> Ace was never portrayed as a "hotshot,"much less taught to grow past it unless this some extracanonical BS that I don't know aboutHe literally got Brightslapped for his bullshit during a pivotal part of the show.
>>22594465>I want to stay here and save you guys>listen to your brothers and go save Earth firstNot a demonstration of personality. This is all generic hero stuff,
>>22593925>>22594068By that criteria you also need to watch Mebius and it's two extra series given he features prominently in the Mega Monster Battle movie, AND one of them explains how the one alien got the Giga-Battlenizer in the first place.(Though you should always watch Mebius anyways, just because.)
>>22594465>He literally got Brightslapped for his bullshit during a pivotal part of the show.>He doesn't want his brothers to give him their energy because they'll die.>Man what hotshot bullshit!Ace is treated as the younger brother because he is one in his series. He sure as hell wasn't a hotshot. Taro had more of a hotshot arc, and he works extremely well as a mentor/sage.

>>22594481OG Ultraman was a bit of a dick at times. Like he laughs at Jirahs before brutally ripping his frill off. Even in the first episode he chuckles a bit after explaining how this whole "being mostly dead" thing works to Hayata.
>>22595812Why is he weird?
Just finished Trigger and yeah it sucked and yeah I'm mad that it has the gall to pretend to be some sort of successor to Tiga. I feel like it had potential though, like I actually thought it was gonna be better than Z during the first half. It was somewhat trying to characterize its villains and I thought it'd actually try to go into the relationship between Cameara and Trigger. But the second half was just baffling. >Completely glossed over how Trigger and Trigger Dark became separate entities. I'm still confused about it>Introduce the Absolutians, imply they'll be a threat later, never bring them back (I hate crossover bullshit Ultraman isn't the MCU nor should it be)>best episode of the show has everyone being subject to Mandela Effect immediately ruined in the following episode where they explain it thoroughly and have it be the fault of some alien that doesn't matter instead of just leaving it as a weird sci fi mystery>ending is just a straight up copypaste from Tiga with hardly any of the thematic buildupIt feels like they just tried to do the fucking Tiga movie again, not realizing the movie worked because it was 90 minutes rather than like 12 hours. These characters needed a lot more depth to carry an entire show and Trigger didn't give them any.I hope Decker is as decent as you all say it is. I'd like to finish on a high note.
>>22595253Since Johnny's went bankrupt, I guess all this legal bullshit is over?
>>22596275>Completely glossed over how Trigger and Trigger Dark became separate entities. I'm still confused about itSome writers have this idea that time paradoxes don't have to make sense narratively and that's why they're paradoxes in the first place. Yeah, it's dumb.>Introduce the Absolutians, imply they'll be a threat later, never bring them back (I hate crossover bullshit Ultraman isn't the MCU nor should it be)That was all promotion for a crossover mini-series that went on for a while. Watch it later too since you watched most of the shows all the heroes come from. "Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Absolute Conspiracy" -> "Ultra Galaxy Fight: Destined Crossroads".
>>22575335It just doesn't hit as well as the Blazar Brace
>>22591058>>22591675>>22591685To me it's thisIt's like Kouta from Gaim but if he stayed "big smile/high energy" and never developed
>>22595812>Even in the first episode he chuckles a bit after explaining how this whole "being mostly dead" thing works to Hayata.i think it kinda works with the whole "bait and switch" vibe OG Ultraman has, where it's a setup straight out of an old sci-fi horror flick but Ultraman's actually a genuine good guy instead of an evil monster
>>22596275>ending is just a straight up copypaste from TigaSo why did they just make new scenes of Tiga facing Gatanozoa and the kids saying they are Tiga for the flashbacks rather than using footage from Tiga?
>>22596308Most Ultra protagonists are pretty lame and bland. Kengo isn't any different. The only ones I would say stand out are Gen, Asuka, Komon, Ultraman Zero, Gai and Gento. Maybe Musashi and Mirai too if I'm being generous.Like remember, you're we're talking about Taiga vs Trigger here. Is Hiroyuki any better as a protagonist than Kengo? Fuck no, they both feel like they come from the same generic hero archetype buzz lightyear factory
First impressions on Decker:Aside from the jarring 1 year timeskip and the Nursedessei and Falcon being reused, I like it so far. It REALLY makes a difference to have the main antagonist be a non-talking semi-sentient alien thing (feeling more like Chaos Header than the original Spheres from Dyna, which I don't remember having much presence), and also to have Decker himself not speak. It lets them flesh out the team more, and so far they're doing it in a way that the show actually does feel like it could be a followup to Dyna, lack of hothead characters aside. I'm only three episodes in and this already feels like the best main cast since Mebius, which is more of an indictment of new gen casts than it is praise for Decker, but still. All the ingredients for a good show are here, it just needs to avoid fucking up. Fingers crossed, I'm tired of monkey's paws
>>22596405Decker is a significantly better show than Trigger overall. It's not great, especially in the latter half where a certain villain takes over the whole show, but it's at least better. It helps that it tries to be its own thing rather than a straight up remake of Dyna.
>>22596405I got a few episodes in and absolutely can't stand main guy, them reusing shit or that awful voice for the Ultra/ChangerIt bothered me way too much
>>22596342Riku and Haruki are great.
>>22596275Well Trigger's initial plans were very different.Kengo(past), Akito(earth), and Ignis(space) would all be ultramen with a fused final form(reason glitter has three timers) and Yuna would be there while they fight 3 giants of darkness so they would have had more personal rivalries. Also GUTS select wasn't a thing and was a much later addition as was all the Tiga connections.
>>22596275I wanted to watch to see how they develop the dark giants. Is it really that lacking, should i just give up?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xwuhv8SQf1w
>>22596405Decker main cast was really good indeed. Competency-wise Neo GUTS-SELECT was also way too good, that SKaRD going back to the standard (aka defense force regularly jobbing) feels so underwhelming.
>>22596275>some sort of successor to TigaConsidering this. It was weird how few aliens and kaiju from Tiga showed up in Trigger. You’d think they would’ve used more of them here.
>>22596405Be prepared for Decker's main antagonist character later.
>>22596275>Completely glossed over how Trigger and Trigger Dark became separate entitiesWhat pisses me off even more is that when Ignis was authorized to use Trigger Dark it was chalk up to just Akito tampering with the Key to allow Ignis to control Trigger Dark.
>>22596275Thanks I hate it
>>22596481Riku is literally just Kengo with an even longer shitty catchphraseHaruki also never really does anything interesting or displays much personality. He's just there>>22596538The only one who sort of has a character is Darrgon, the other two are generic mcbadguys>>22596600I guess, but one of the few points I will give Trigger is that it did not bring back Red King/Black King/Eleking/King Joe/Gomora/Gomess/Telesdon/any other kaiju we've seen a gorillion times
>>22596911>Riku is literally just Kengo with an even longer shitty catchphraseRiku's catchphrase at least makes sense because he's always sitting on the comfy couch in the secret base. Meanwhile Kengo is like "SMILE SMILE" even though he's a botanist not a dentist.
>>22596911It brings back Gubila, paints it slightly brown and calls it a new variant, with no new tricks. At least Telesdon flies in X and Z.
>>22596275It was originally planned as a standalone Ultra series, so the Tiga references were an afterthought and added in rewrites
>>22596911>Haruki also never really does anything interesting or displays much personalityHow?
>>22596275>movie worked because it was 90 minutes rather than like 12 hoursDisagree. Both Darrgon and Hudram benefit from the character expansion. It's really Carmeara that suffers from lack of expansion as she's about the same as her movie counterpart.
>>22596942What do you mean how? Isn't your response proof enough? You can't even think of any standout moments for him to counter my point because there aren't anyJust because a show is decent doesn't mean the protagonist is good. I think Tiga's the best Ultra show but I don't pretend Daigo is anything other than boring and bland>>22596945Hudram doesn't have any more character than the chick. He's just a laughing skeletor that destroyed a planet once to give the show's only decent character a revenge subplot
>>22596961Haruki is an over eager goofball that can get over emotional. His banter with Z and the rest of the team show off his personality well. Him saving the dog, protecting the baby red king, and hesitation for killing Grigio Raiden show that as well.
>>22596961>Hudram doesn't have any more character than the chickBut he does have more character than his movie counterpart, and also Carmeara.
>>22596968Yeah, those are all things that feel like what most Ultra protagonists would have doneCan you imagine Kengo acting differently from Haruki if he was the protagonist of Z? I can't
>>22596977>Can you imagine Kengo acting differently from Haruki if he was the protagonist of Z?Yes.
>>22596930Trigger was always planned as Tiga 2.0.
>>22596980Did you even watch Trigger? Because Trigger itself made a point of showing how similar they were when Haruki showed up in Trigger since Kengo is also an over eager goofball that gets on the nerves of the more serious team scientistApart from Gai and Gento, new gen has been seriously weak with protagonists. After them, the next best (after a massive power gap) is I would say Daichi since he had the whole backstory about his family working on spark doll research, he actually was kind of the team scientist himself, and he sorta kinda had the goal of saving kaiju like Musashi. He still didn't have much personality but at least at least they tried making him a little more than just "standard, generically enthusiastic young man who fights for justice"
>>22597000Kengo is more of a reserved dork, not an over eager goofball.
>>22597018I think you got them mixed up at this pointFor what miniscule differences between them exist, if either of them was more reserved, it was Haruki since he was an actual military guy; his own catchphrase reflects this
>>22597025Nah, Haruki was much more over eager about everything while Kengo only got excited about his plants.
NOW BOY, I SAY BOY, YOU HAD NO CHANCE! MY BEAK'S MADE OF POISON YOU SEE HERE BOY! NOW LOOK ATCHA! YOU'RE MORE BLACK AND BLUE THEN YOU ARE RED! I SAY, I SAY YOU SHOULDA JUST STAYED HOME WITH YOUR MOMMA BOY! ANY O'THIS GETTING THROUGH THAT BULL HEAD OF YOURS BOY?!
>>22596989>>22596990>sun and moon armor>glasses swordUnless the glasses is supposed to be some eclipse reference, this would have triggered new gen Cosmos posts to no end
>>22597375We've seen a bit of comparisons alreadyAnother thing to note is the protagonist apparently first encountered the Ultra as a child, which is another Cosmos thing. We'll see.
>>22596989>>22596990Why does he look like he has constant eyebags?
>>22597685That's the hole where the suit actor sees out of.
>>22597688I get that, but they are way too huge that it is distracting. Recent Ultras with similar "Zero" eyes like Taiga and Regulos have practically invisible eyeholes. Arc's better be intentional.
has there been any more news on school girl vs ultraman after the announcement?
Are the Uchusen Yearbook pages of Blazar & Gridman Universe got posted here yet?
>>22596983Where's the other two statues, then?
>>22597957Broken, just as they were in Tiga's first episodeHonestly you could ask the same question of Tiga itself
>>22596983>>22596930Huh, I thought the original idea was three Ultramen with three separate hosts that eventually combine into one before the higher ups suggested the Tiga nostalgia wank.
>>22597980The Tiga stuff in Trigger is so ridiculously superficial that they could have easily done that regardless for all the difference it would have made
>>22597985If Trigger did not have any of the outright Tiga "homages" and just did its own thing, it would have been just a kinda bad series. Hell, even all of the elements on their own have legs>three evil ultras>main ultras used to be one of them but saw the light>love triangle between the main leads>space treasure hunter who becomes an allyInstead we got a show that basically did an Ed Gein on Tiga and pissed off everyone
Arc Televi-kun scans
>>22598017
>>22598000The Tiga references made no difference to me since the show was so far removed from Tiga's continuity, themes, writing style, etc. It basically was doing its own thing, just with everyone dressed in GUTS uniforms. They could have changed the T in GUTS to a Y and pretended to be a Mebius throwback without changing anything else and it wouldn't have been any less convincing.
Don't worry Tigafans, you'll get the proper celebration in 2026, Tiga's 30th anniversary.

Okay. Finished Decker. Indeed a decent show, but still not half the show Dyna was. The beginning and ending were great, but the middle was a bit of a forgettable slog. I actually enjoyed Agams, the only decent villain of the Reiwa era so far. It was a bit of a shame that they copped out of Earth truly causing another planet's destruction and just had him mad over his wife, but it was still a dozens times more effort than went into Carmeara or Celebro or Tregear or Saki or Kei or Dark Lugiel. And even with him around, the show still had some good episodic stories. The Grace and Ragon episodes stood out in particular. And I will say, I did appreciate that it actually did bring Trigger back, making it feel like a proper sequel. It always felt weird to me that Dyna never had Daigo transform, Tiga's ending be damned. Nonetheless, Decker had one too many mediocre episodes to truly be a top 10 show, and it had some other stuff that I feel was undercooked, like Dyna showing up out of absolutely fucking nowhere in that one episode (Trigger at least tried to make Tiga's appearance make sense) and Kanata getting Sphere virus for no apparent reason and the show not doing much with itAnyway, current Reiwa Ultra rankingsBlazar >>>>>Decker>Z>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Trigger>>>TaigaWell, I've now seen all 27 main Japanese Ultra shows, but there's still a ton of spinoffs, mini series, movies, the international shit etc. left for me to watch. I think I'll get into Heisei Ultraseven next, after a break.
>>22598986im glad to see another person enjoying agams instead of seething about him. also they didnt copped out. humanity along with kanata did venture into space. im assuming you havent watched the movie. basically everything will still happen because humans still went into space and kanata's powers will still be inherited by future decker
>>22599006Well yeah, the show itself said that Earth still brought the sphere to his planet. It just made it out like the sphere actually destroyed his planet at first instead of just being responsible for his wife's death
>>22598017>>22598021is that it?
>>22599006Why were people seething about Agams during Decker's run?
>>22599189Shit dragged on for too long. His constant mantra chants also brought back memories of the previous year
>>22599214>shit dragged on for too longhe's literally the villain of the story nigga
I've been absolutely enthralled by Redman recently, and heard good things about the comic. Couldn't find it on nyaa or the usual western sites, does anyone know where I could read it?Ultraman-wise, I'm partway through Ultraseven so far after finishing OG. I liked Hayata more than Dan, but Dan occasionally being a weirdo autist or being downright murderous is funny. The Netflix one looks promising at least as far as the returning OG cast and the dance EDs go.
Anyone subbed Blazar's movie yet? There's nothing on Nyaa or any other torrent sites despite the movie being out in HD for a good while now, and I don't think TsuPro is giving it a US release any time soon, especially with Arc dropping soon.
>>22599240Sphere is the villain of the show nigga.
>>22599277free my nigga Red he didn do nuffin
>>22599517But he's a remorseless monster
>>22599189And also he jobs a lot, basically the worst traits of current Kamen Rider/Sentai shows where they don't have enough to make MotW suits so they resort to one or two villain fighting and getting defeated but retreat at the last second over and over.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43a8TGJzLXQ
>>22599377None of the fansub is working on Blazar's movie afaik because people used to waiting on Ultraman Connection. But, with them stopping rental services, nobody knows if Blazar gonna get official sub releases in the future.

>>22600411New Generation Stars season 2 May episode listing
>>22600411>The new Giant of Light in the year 2024, his name is Ultraman Arc. In this unveiling, we have compiled some basic information about it. Arc Cube, SKIP, K-DAY, Hoshimoto City, Monohorn, Rution......>Unleash your imagination and witness a new legend!>A new and nostalgic Ultraman created by director Takanori Tsujimoto>16 years ago, K-Day (abbreviation of KAIJU DAY) was marked by the simultaneous appearance of monsters in various parts of the world. Since then, everyday life has been accompanied by monsters, and countermeasures against monster disasters have become a common issue for all mankind. The story takes place in Hoshimoto City. The main character is Yuma Hize, a young man who lives there. He becomes "Ultraman Arc," a giant of light, and protects people from monsters and aliens. The hero's appearance looks just like the picture of "Strongest Hero" that Yuma drew when he was a child. >The keyword is "Imagination. The visuals of the Ultraman arc and transformation items are based on drawings that the main character drew as a child, and it seems that the insubstantial "mystical power" takes on the form and shape of his own imagination. The idea of making the visuals of weapons and items convincing by making them "forms created by human imagination" is excellent!>Takanori Tsujimoto is in charge of this work. Director Tsujimoto is well known for his love of the Ultraman series of the Showa era, especially "The Return of Ultraman", and you should look forward to the battle production that gives you a glimpse of that. The fighting pose of Arc is similar to that of "Jack (The Return of Ultraman)," and in this respect, it seems that the style of the work will be different from the previous New Generation Ultraman.
>>22600426Cont'd>Like its predecessor "Ultraman Blazar," it is scheduled to be broadcast and distributed around the world at the same time, so it is inevitable that it will be a big hit on a global scale! This magazine will also be pushing the project strongly, so please look forward to it. !!!!
>>22600411>The main character is Yuma Hize. He is a 23-year-old young man who works at the Hoshimoto City Branch of the Monster Disaster Prevention Science Research Institute. He is a first-year working adult who has been at the facility for three months. His major is monster biology. The English name of Kaijū bōsaikagaku chōsa-sho is "Scientific Kaiju Investigation and Prevention center." Commonly known as "SKIP''. 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.
>>22600426>gonna reveal he created the kaijus too.....
>>22600426>literal nostalgia Ultraman
>>22599804>>22599806>>22599808>>22599810I'm still not totally into this design, but I think that prominent brow could go a long way to conveying some emotion if they do it right. Like tilting his head slightly down makes him look more focused and determined.
>>22600463If they reveal someone like Takeshi or Akane this show'll be 10/10

Hey, I've got a bit of a stupid question: Does Mega Monster Battle Ultra Galaxy the Movie have an English dub?My wife is getting into ultraman, and wants to watch it, but prefers english, and I just can't seem to find a dub of it despite some dubious looking ebay listings.
>>22601111the main heroine
>>22601239Movie doesn't had any official english dub
>>22601634Ah, thank you
Do you prefer Laiha with specs or Laiha with thighs?
You know since Arc can be seen as a tribute to Jack, why didn't they add pinstripes on his design? That way it wouldn't the design so lazy and derivative, at peast for a bit.
I'm sure most of you are familiar with the story of how during the production of Ultraseven, they were reluctant to let the episode "Nightmare On The 4th Planet" go to production because it didn't have a monster, so to fuck with them he offered a replacement script called "15 aliens + 35 monsters", where Ultraseven fights just that, naturally the mere concept of such an episode was so bank-breaking that the suits relented, and Nightmare On The 4th Planet went on to become one of Ultraseven's most iconic episodes.And then in 2007, legendary manga artist Daiji Kazumine, who was famous for his Ultraman & Ultraseven manga(s) back in the day, actually adapted that story into a 57-page one-shot for Figure King magazine, featuring the a new monster for good measure in the monster god "Gohd" (獣神ゴード), designed by original Ultraseven kaiju designer Noriyoshi Ikeya.
Also, do we still not know if any of the already existing Geed capsules will work for the Replica Geed Riser? The regular Orb cards work on the Replica and the Replica cards work on the DX.
>>22602728Yeah, I read up about the story because of the doujinshi where the god kaiju is literally just heisei Godzilla with wings.
>>22602864Oh we ARE getting a Ultra Replica Geed Riser?I was gonna pick up an old DX somewhere cheap
>>22602912Yeah it comes out at like around October so gonna be a while. You could still get an DX for cheap cause why not. Cause if we want FireLeader to be a form, we'd need the Zoffy and Mebius capsules and I do lowkey think Bandai would shill out seperate capsule sets for like 90 bucks a set.
>>22602728plenty of other Ultraseven eps didn't have monsters or giant fights. I dunno why they made a big deal about Nightmare.
>>22602728i fucking love that episode
>>22602920My issue is I forget combos and names for forms without having to look them up, It's been awhile since I watched thru itI really liked a lot of it's sounds and forms tho.
>>22602966Yeah FireLeader is an Ultra Fusion arcade only form but the Riser does have sounds for it which is neat.
>>22602728This is complete bullshit rumor that has circulated for years in English. Tsuburaya was having major budgetary issues in the back-half of Seven. They called in Akio Jissoji to work on episodes because he could do them without using the optical print machines that ballooned the budget. Akio Jissoji was actually annoyed that the BUDGETS of his episodes were so low compared to the standard episodes of the show, which is why he wrote this. He was the one who wanted a monser!
>>22603020Sauce?
