https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cS4sofEyTkHow was Arc's penultimate episode?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29nCy1cSViUFinal episode preview.
>>23036234>hand holding Kyaaaaaa~
>>23036220Previous thread.>>23009955
>>23036234So, the planet Arc travelled from is not taking care of ZeSu at their side?
>>23036298He is a big boi political figure. And so what if they take care of him? His agents will still carry out their mission regardless, this isn't a case of charismatic leader acting out ideology, it has a practical purpose of saving their planet from getting fried.
>>23036234Let me guess, the bloom filter in the SKIP office was to hint at the "it was all a dream ending" wasn't it
>>23036234>People thought the “it was all a dream” stuff from the preview was realKekGood episode, lots of stakes and I liked showing the transformation from behind when Arc when off to fight Guilebaku. The only real downside for me is that Guilebaku is pretty silly looking, and I’m going to be disappointed if it’s our final boss Kaiju. Both Trigelos and Zadime had way stronger designs. Especially since it looks like the Guilebaku suit actor won’t be able to throw a punch or do much physical combat, and it’s just gonna be a CGI-fest.
>>23036453How are you this...?
>>23036523>I liked showing the transformation from behind when Arc when off to fight Guilebaku.They do a lot of (appropriately) imaginative stuff with camera angles and how they present scenes. Probably the series' greatest strength.
>>23036523Sweed is supposed to be getting a kaiju form
Imagine seriously trying to gaslight your enemy into thinking they are living a crappy overplayed TV Tropes theory.
>>23036753gotta give her props for trying lol. I guess when you get blown up the first time, any other method that doesn't involve getting blown up is worth a try
>>23036562Yeah, the fight with King of Mons was particularly great for that.As someone who is also currently watching Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger, I really love the better camera angles Ultra series have.
I really wish these threads were more active, Arc deserves more love
>>23036889>Arc deserves more loveIt's still new gen garbage
>>23036298From what I understood their planet is basically in civil war at this point. Arc and Biorno's faction found a way of saving their galaxy without fucking up the Earth but are having difficult convincing people of their plan meanwhile ZeSu and his followers are sticking to his plan and trying to fuck up things for Arc and co.>>23036523>>23036753I was fully expecting a way out there plot twist like:>The world actually blew up 16 years ago during K-Day but Yuma and Arc IMAGINATION'ed it back together so the world is both real and a dream at the same time
>>23036862Was that the one where they showed the stuff that's usually stock footage in essentially full speed? That was neat.
>>23036889I'm just busy so I'm way behind on it.
>>23037026Is Arc the most dysfunctional we’ve seen the Ultras as a species since Tiga and his movie?
What's Reddit's choice of Ultraman compared to /m78/? Who's choice is better?
>>23036889Maybe it just isn't as good as you think it is.
>>23037452They wank Blazar, so no
>>23037495wrong
>>23037510Blazar is mid, face it
>>23037495Go back
>>23037668You go back, r/Blazar
>>23037668to where
Ultraman Trigger is a more definitive and joyful experience of Ultraman than Blazar and Arc.
>>23037764Interesting thought experiment, but no.
>>23037764>Ultraman Trigger is a more definitive and joyful experience of Ultraman than BlazarI'm certain Carmeara typed this.
>>23036369>>23037026dang. Thanks for the answer.
>>23037106Anon, U-40 and Heller.
>>23036638source?
>>23038026Rumors, basically
>>23037764Are you perhaps retarded
>>23038145The people who hate Trigger are the stupid ones.
>>23038148I dropped the entire Ultraman franchise after Trigger because it was that bad. I don't regret it.
>>23037764>DefinitiveQuite so as it showcases everything that's wrong about New Gen, Blazar and Arc included
>>23038475>i dropped ultraman franchise after triggerits funny because every show after trigger is better with only blazar being the low point due to its terrible villain and conclusion.
Arc, jump into the sky!
>>23038148Oh so you are retarded
>>23037452I heard those evil Reddit freaks like the whole Ultraman franchise so we should start hating it.
>>23037452They love Ultraman Rising so draw your own conclusions
>>23039697Rising was good
>>23036909Jesus this is the most showa series pandered specifically to people like you and still bot satisfied. What do you want, 4:3 525 lines only on CRT? Oldgoodnewbadfags are so insufferable.
>>23039697Man I couldn't even finish Rising, word of mouth here tainted it for me (primarily hearing about how Ultraman is incompetent than the attack teams, and thebfact that it was supposed to be a different story with Ultraman thrown in). Maybe I should give it a try again someday.
Which show has the best action choreography and practical effects?
>>23039743Probably recency bias, but Arc. There are definitely others but it's the only ones I can think of
>>23039734>trusting 4chan...EVER!!The fuck is wrong with you? This place is full of idiots and gaslighters.
>>23039743Leo has cool martial arts theming but the show overall is inconsistent in quality
So, what are the Space Beasts from Ultraman Nexus? I try looking it up but got jack shit. Are they like, the thing but, giant monsters version?
>>23039790The Things are not actively malicious toward humans, Space Beasts specifically love to terrorize and eat humans. They are more like space demons to Zagi space Satan. They are also explained as living neutrinos or something in the show, as opposed to Nexus/Next being living light.
>>23039790Creatures that feed on human fear and suffering. In addition to literally feeding on humans.
>>23039798>>23039790What if yapool made a space beast/choju hybrid?
Ultranan has been in decline after Z aired. Yeah, I said it.
>>23039913>Ultraman has been in decline since New Gen startedFtfy
Is Yuma gonna pull a Z/Dyna and go to Arc's home planet after this? That scene with Shu and Yuma looks like a lover's goodbye or something
>>23040046 According to Color, yes
>>23040046Yuma really gave him the "this nigga really zesty" look
>>23040093What else has he said
>>23040164That Arc movie took place between 21 and 22
>>23037106U-40 is significantly worse.
>>23039790Sentient neutrinos that feast on fear and suffering and aggregate into horrific forms to better harvest feelings of terror as they feast. They are knowingly evil and delight in murdering and eating people.
do we have a release date for the ultraman card game yet?
So does Trigger get better or?
>>23041406I’m not there yet I’m watching Leo at the moment
The GOAT Ultra director.
>>23041406It gets less frustrating near the end but some of the faults are still rather obvious
>>23041435Enthusiasm as a fan does not inherently translate to artistic skill
So, the Muruchi episode is the best episode of Return of Ultraman, yeah?Because Jesus Christ was that good.
>>23041619Anon that's Sompote, of Chaiyo Productions. But I guess he was the biggest fan of the IP, so much that he wanted it for himself.>>23041978Yeah. There are still excellent episodes afterward (and some big dips in quality too), but nothing comes close to episode 33.
>>23042009To this day I don't understand how the whole Chaiyo thing dragged out for decades.>They gave us legal rights to all of Ultraman over seas!>No we didn't>Hmmm, this seems tough
>>23037106>One of our dudes is a bad eggIsn't nearly as a bad as >We rely on a morally questionable space ring god that actively aids in creating oppositions to justice and peace just as frequently as it enables heroes.
>>23041978Yeah, it’s considered the best
>>23042041it’s more like >They gave us the legal rights to all of Ultraman overseas >you forged this signature! >nuh-huh! >Chiayo won the first lawsuit >We’re gonna make an entire franchise of new original Ultraman!>no you’re not. >Tsupro won the second lawsuit >TsuPro now has to pay Chiayo for damages because of the first lawsuit >We’re gonna make a 3D animated series with Ultraman! >No you’re not >Tsupro won the final lawsuit
>>23041406Watch the fight scenes. It's the only good thing.
>>23039767To be fair the movie does show Ultraman being incompetent. I'll probably give it a chance again in the future.
>>23041978I always loved MAT's uniforms. Too bad they're so incompetant.
>>23042825They’re not that bad. I usually got the feeling MAT would have eventually defeated the monster of the week, Jack just beat them sooner. Science Patrol is still the best Showa attack team, though.
>>23042827they never got a single kill
>>23042041The legal system just doesn't work like that, its designed in a way where there's no correlation between what happened and the verdict. Its a lawyer sport.Tsuburaya didn't win because they were right, they just finaly outlawyered the other side.
>>23042067>oppositions to justiceWhich ones did it make?
I hope Arc can stick the landing
Why did Blazar get so much hype?
>>23043152>had a direct hand in Juggler>(IIRC) it frequently selects not for people who are purely good with zero chances of going bad, but people who have a really high chance of falling to darkness in their future and becoming a threat to all around them>specifically selects for pure humans/close enough equivalents and refuses non-humans, which can foster resentment that directly leads to cases like Juggler>can and will turn people it arbitrarily deems 'unworthy' into Kaiju, which can be a boon in the short-term but just as often has a risk of going out of control and causing chaos if not managed well
>>23043500A lot of hopium after the one two dick punches that were Trigger and Decker
>>23043512Decker was fine for the most part.
>>23043500It was a cool show
>>23043515It was just fine, which wasn't exactly a consolation after Trigger shitting the bed
>>23043532Trigger was fine, Decker was good.
>>23043512Yeah but I saw people going like "Ultraman is FINALLY good again" as if Z hadn't come out all that long ago.
>>23042063Hehehe funneh pieg
>>23043543Z was still the usual New Gen trash, Blazar looked like it was gonna be different.
>>23043543Z wasn't really that good, it was praised because it came after Taiga and RB and the Covid happening.
>>23043500SEAfags and nexusfags thought it was a nexus related show for some off fucking reason.
>>23043560But it ended up being subversive different, not good different>>23043666Blazar's design is derivative of Noa. I'd fully believe someone if they told me Blazar's design was originally intended for a different show
>>23043500>durrr new gen is toyetic waaaaThat was its main draw, of being as less as New Gen as possible. Of course, once it aired, most people realize the toyetic shits was what kept the shows entertaining, but the newgenbad wankers will keep insisting otherwise
>>23043881>most people realize the toyetic shits was what kept the shows entertainingEven as someone who doesn’t mind the toyetic stuff, nah. Showa and early Heisei Ultraman manage to be much more entertaining in average without a shitton of weapons and transformation gimmicks.
>>23044142Anon back then the fighter jets are their toys and gimmicks. Why do you think the opening tend to showcase the fighter jets so much? People shit on the toyetic stuff, but it was just due to how things change today, in that people precer roleplay toys. Hell Sentai sometimes struggled when they decided to not do collectible gimmicks.>>23043881And Arc proved how terrible that decision is despite Arc having more products to show but they stubbornly didn't.
>>23044234I feel like the Kaiju are more the toys than anything, and they’re an integral part of the show. Original Ultraman got by on just holding up the Beta Capsule and pressing a button to transform. Nowadays, we get 30 second long transformation sequences of the main character spinning pieces, putting parts into slots, inserting coins, etc.Arc is better than Blazar because it has better writing, not because it’s more toyetic.
>>23044246Arc is better than Blazar because it got forms, while Blazar just got a jobber robo
>>23044290Glad to see armor finally counts as a form. You guys were insane for a while there thinking that armor is any worse than an Ultraman having a new colorway.
>>23044316>thinking of forms a just new colourwaysthis hasnt been relevant since dyna. every form now is a new suit completely
>>23044316I've always thought it as such. Anyone who says otherwise is just being autistic
GUYS is a contender for the best attack team in the franchise. While they don’t have the most kills, the show is abundantly clear that without them, Mebius would be FUCKED
I understand why people thought Blazar was supposed to be like a New Gen Nexus but his design and entire personality just screams primitive caveman. It makes the series a lot more interesting. >pattern is similar to tribal markings >tilonsite sword is garamon's bones >final form is him wearing the skin of his animal buddy as an outfit
>>23044142Show and early Heisei Ultra did a lot of wacky, ridiculous, or just plain silly stuff as well as a bunch of marketing for the transformation ships and such in much the same way New Gen does now. On top of that, they were made during a time where we could get 50 episode series, which means concepts that the New Gen relies more heavily on the toyetic stuff to sell to people could be more reliably developed over a longer period. A lot of the flaws with Decker, Blazar, Z and even Arc would likely be solved by them having 50 episodes to tell everything they want to, for example.
>>23044290>>>/krg/
>>23045102How do you even get /krg/ from that post?
>>23045102>>>reddit
>>23044812You could say the same for Noa and Zagi yet neither of them are inherently primitive. Also the idea of a primitive ultra inherently carries the expectation of them "evolving" over time beyond learning one new attack and item-equips
>>2304503050 episodes is a monkey paw. Look at how Kamen Rider overstays its welcome and drags off to fulfil its 50 epiaode quota. 30-39 episodes is the ideal nowadays, you have a healthy amount of standalone and serialized without dragging off.
>>23045232The best shows from the big 3 are all around 50 episodes long.
>>23045245Nexus is 39 and Gaim is 47 but only with padding and filler episodes like the Kikaider and summer movie tie-in however
>>23045254Gaim's "filler" episodes are some of its best.
>>23045245And? You simply think making 50 episodes will make the series great?
>>23045254>Nexus>BestYou don't actually like Ultraman
>>23045385No, but the greatest stories are told in 50 episodes, not 30.
>>23045254>>23045245Ultraman Trigger is only 25 episodes and it's the best show.
>>23045254Nexus was originally intended to have 50 episodes and it really, really fucking shows later on with how rushed some plotlines end up.
>>23045387Nexus is the most Ultra an Ultraman show can get with it's ending.
Tomorrow…..the end of Arc….
>>23045713Didn't we had someone posted pictures from a book called Ultraman Nexus If Only showing off different version of Nexus, including two female version, one orange and one purple?
>>23045399And you don't understand that having 50 episodes does not guarantee a great show. Your whole excuse is>W-we used to have 50 epusodes why can't we have that again aaaaaaYou don't realize that if they decided to make 50 episodes again, it will affect the budget, but you don't care, because you want the good old times.
>>23046422Good riddance. Proof that pandering to oldgoodnewbadfags are the worst.
>>23047443Arc is good, the fuck you talking about?>>23047439I feel like they could pull off a 50-episode season again as long as they mostly use existing suits. I mean, they’ve got to have a vast amount of kaiju/seijin they can use just off of what they already have suits for.
>>23047443ok retard
Is Tiga a good entry into Ultraman? I'm in love with the OP song.
>>23047598It's the best entry series
>>23047598It’s one of the best entry series and one of the best of the franchise in general.
>>23047572Standalone Ultra series can be done well, like GaiaArc was not one of those well-done ones
What are some sexy female kaijus?
>>23045119The attempts tokusatsu in general makes to not make quadruped monsters look like two dudes in a horse costume or a dude on his hands and knees really don't work sometimes.
>>23048655Zogu
>>23048767It's hard to find centaur actors nowadays anon. They either all unionized or got Metoo'd
I guess pigboi can't be the final boss after all
>>23040046lel we really got the fag ending
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4b3gENPtfIRate Arc's finale and series.
>>23049504Finale: I liked it/10Series: I am okay with it/10
>>23049504>That moment when arc walks away from sweed
>>23049504This was definitely a year in Ultraman's history/10
>>23049504go back to the New Gen formula, ffs
>>23049504Sayonara Arc. I can't believe it was all a dream.
Jesus, you fuckers are never happy
>>23049535I was happy with Orb, Geed, Z, the Z episodes of Trigger, and Decker
>>23049538Thinking again, I was happiest with X
>>23049544X is overrated as fuck and I have no idea why it gets uts dick sucked so much
>>23049553>overrated>XX is so underrated that we reach the overrated slander. Can we do the opposite with Blazar, the actual overrated piece of crap in Ultraman history after Nexus?
>>23049559Dude, X is NOT underratedIt gets talked about constantly
Kaiju Sweed has reversed tits.
>>23049563For being mondo underrated, muh dude. Tubular!
>>23049559Yeah, Nexus is overrated
>>23049553If X is overrated then where's his 10th anniversary logo?
Sweed is hot
>>23049565Kind of wished sweed was a evil ultrawoman
>>23049590she kinda was
has the leaker give descriptions on what omega's toys are like? from trinkets and the henshin item, stuff like that.
So is Ze Su still alive? That's the reason Yuma and Arc leaving Earth?
>>23049625they're gonna kill him
>>23049622Color hinted to Takesue helming the show
I liked it.
>>23049622Lots of new monsters again
>>23049504That has gotta be the most anticlimactic and weirdest final fight for a toku show. What was the point in having Yuma leave if he's just gonna return after 3 months, it would've hit harder if he never did or just have it be up to the viewers imagination
>>23049659how was it weird and antimlimactic
Your opinion on Yuma Hize/Yuki Totsuka?
>>23049633well no shit, he's a menace
>>23049659>What was the point in having Yuma leave if he's just gonna return after 3 months, it would've hit harder if he never did or just have it be up to the viewers imaginationthe way we didn't hear what they're talking about on the phone could still mean Yuma only calling them but he's still on the space journey
>>23049659It would be anticlimatic if they stopped on Guilebaku's defeat, but glad that Sweed actually put up a fight. If I'm not wrong Kaiju Sweed was never revealed in magazines or preview images? Is she getting a sofubi?
>>23049694she was never teased at ALL
>>23049678He's ok, but I felt he had squandered potential
>>23049678he was decent
Genuinely one of the best NewGen baddies
>>23049699do people hate surprises now?
Boring ass final I hated the fucking oversaturated brightness they used in this shit show
>>23049715>>23049535Anon, it's okay for you to like Arc. Don't feel invalidated by others' opinions
Bros, I stopped watching Arc after episode 3 because life got busy and I kind of forgot. Now that it's over, is it worth the watch?
>>23049733Yeah. But maybe not for binge-ing. Just watch three to four episodes at once or something
>>23049504Just plugging the portal hole and the around-the-world beam were the best possible kinds of stupid. I went into the episode with doubts but it managed to dash them.The series itself was good but not great. The action and Kaiju were top of the shelf but the characters and writing were only passable.
>>23049699little boys don't want a girl toy
>>23049675stop stalking me. you always ask me these dumbass questions
So Sweed was so intent on gaslighting Yuma because it literally would have altered reality? I guess by erasing Arc?
>>23049659Weird yes, anti-climactic though? I dunno, I thought that was some of the most over-the-top shit we've gotten from a TV Ultra. Makes Blazar moving the moon seem down to earth.
>>23049517That was honestly too badass. It felt out of character.
If Ultra Galaxy Fight still happen, they're gonna make Arc appear in there.
>>23049733Yes
>>23049754why? Arc/Yuma was done playing with her
>>23049733No. It's some how worse than Decker
>>23049774Even worse. It's Blazar all over again
>>23049774>>23049777trying way too hard here with the trolling
>>23049779See, even the fan is rabid
>two series straight without Sakamoto has been a snooze festWe forgive you for Trigger. Please come back
What happened to givas?
>>23049824It came to help in the King of Mons episode and got badly damaged, probably is resting and fixing itself on the Moon, again.
>>23049504>Arc'd around the worldK-kinoooo
>>23049773It made it look like Arc/Yuma were showing off.
>>23049824might show up in the movie
there had better be porn of Sweed's kaiju form
>>23049844It’s always about gooning with you faggots
>>23049504>FinaleDecent. Pseudo-Ultra Sweed was both expected and unexpected and had a pretty neat design. I'm glad they brought back the "use your imagination to do something nuts" thing after they had seemingly forgotten about it for a large chunk of the show>SeriesHad some really great single episodes and overall was fairly enjoyable. Wasn't amazing, but wasn't terrible either.

It wanted to be cheery but after the first clipshow it went very melancholy and had a sorrowful tone, the team up episode was jarring, and that situation with the super nova energy going to Earth went unsolved. Also Arctic beat his final boss pretty easily. At least Ultra Q a d Dark Fantasy were anthologies and the Fights and Nice were short. I'm giving the franchise a rest after I watch the epilogue.And fuck captcha for constantly resetting back to 60 seconds.
