These are the H12 Ultras. Say anything about them.
Is every plot going to be a two parter now? That was one thing I hated about late stage Heisei KR, the fact that you might as well skip a week every other time and just catch up later.
>>23966935I'm hoping they come back so they don't waste the suits
>>23967113the suits aren't wasted though.
>>23967131how would you know?>>23962249you won't survive the showa shows then.
>>23967132>how would you know?How would you know the suits are wasted? The series always makes multiple suits. You think a single suit can survive 49 Showa episodes? What about all the Heisei forms? It's suits, suits, suits. You think they are just making suits out of boredom?
>>23967132Because they aren't suits, they're quick edits of Teo's CG model.
>>23967171Why would they have different bulges if they are edits? One even has a camel toe.
>>23967245>camel toeCould H12-Dude-C be a chick?
>>23966935This is what I always wanted for M78 citizen in Ultra Galaxy Legend movie.
Teo laughing is slightly off putting. I know it's just Ibuki's actor with a filter, but he sounds oddly sinister.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9pXqa7pREkNGL how the fuck did they make a better You Say Run than the actual You Say Run
>>23967650looked up you say run and I see what you mean now lol
>>23967650oh okay both songs are made by the same guy that makes a whole lotta sense
>>23967669I knew that, but how is it BETTER
>>23967650Seriously, it's funny how the relatively light-hearted Arc has such a badass theme.Teo's music is also turning out great.
>>23967800>Teo's music is also turning out great.Yeah the theme song is one of my favorites, gets stuck in my heard every time I hear it.
>>23967650becuase Arc was a fucking amazing series
Smile, smile...
Arcs battle theme kicks asshttps://youtu.be/QerzJzAzJ3g
Do we know how Teo has been selling and how reception to it has been so far?
>>23968590Teo's got pretty positive reception in China so far. Also for the financial stuff for TsuPro>Ultraman’s performance recovered in China, and the Tsuburaya Productions division’s operating profit surged 227.7% year-on-year!>They raised their full-year forecast and announced a special dividend commemorating Ultraman’s 60th anniversary!https://x.com/NEXTNEVER1/status/2081680456240574574
>>23968597awesome news!
>>23968590You know, a part of me wonders how Space Gazers would interact with M78, U40, or O50 Ultras.We know they've been watching those guys
>>23968690that would be so fucking funny. imagine the space gazers are completely imperceptible to other species of ultras and theyre just silently observing, including watching King on his own planet lol
>>23968907It should be more like, those nerd weirdos are watching us again, but they're doing anything, so let's just let them be and ignore them.
>>23968690>>23968929Shouldn't the M78s aka Space Police arrest them for space stalking?
>>23968597How the hell did having less toys result in a 200 percent increase in profit? The math just isn't mathing.
>>23969051Ask Tsupro accountant, also Idk how to read these numbers
>>23969051Turns out, good stuff
>>23969051Just want to point out that the costs to make a show can vary wildly. Just looking at Teo's first few episodes almost all the non-action scenes take place in two locations: the tiny club room and some vague forest area. That's got to save a tremendous amount on location / set costs. And with each story being stretched over two episodes you've got a major cost cutting formula.
>>23968152I felt it was doing well until the later half
>>23969285The Hellnarak arc was a misstep, but it picked up once that was finished.
Any recycled kaiju suits so far?
>>23969399it was a good arc until the final part of it
>>23969051yeah, this smells fishy
>>23969592nope
>>23968597how the fuck
Kekky...
I found out that the figure line with the bara Father of Ultra also has this damaged King Joe. Kind of neat if you like that stylized look they're going for.
>>23970157Ultraman...
>the dog in Ultraman Taro who's killed by the monster, replaced at the end of the episode and whose replacement never appears again anywayStill my single biggest WTF moment in the franchise.>later on they show Taro owning a space dog back on the home planet
>>23968597It's Zero's new toy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jD2onjupH0EThoughts?
>>23970680no way is a single toy making them that much money
>>23970777Weird they don't use any artist from Lantis
>>23970777So two of the singers are Emma and Kanna themselves.
Kanna looks cute from far but gets pretty haggy in close up shots
>>23970891I want Kanna to eat
>>23970784It is if it's ZeroAlso they didn't specify how much did it increases from. 200% from a low number will of course be an achievement
>>23970907so do we think this year will do better then the last?
I hope Teo Active is a full suit form change, considering they spent a good amount making suits of the h12 citizens. I wonder how much kaiju suits they ended up making for Teo with all the episodes so far being two parters. I feel like even 3 parters are coming.
>>23970891the actress actually born exactly a day after Emma's actress
>>23970890That's cool.
https://twitter.com/digimonweb_net/status/2084806957022715984
>>23970890I figured it was odd that only one singer was credited at first when there's clearly multiple vocalists but to find out that it's the actresses? awesome
>>23971230>>23971312I keep finding Japanese tweets being lukewarm about this reveal, comparing to 10 years ago Orb having the late Ichiro Mizuki or 20 years ago Mebius with Project DMM.
>>23971350the song's kinda mid
>>23971353I think it's more about getting two actresses also singing the theme song felt like a cost cutting.
>>239713573 of them cost less than 1 Minda Ryn?
>>23969101Reminds me of Ginga.
>>23971375i have mindaryn fatigue
>>23971417Coincidentally, Ginga's theme song is my favorite opening.
>>23971350Maybe they're saving the budget for the 30th anniversary of Tiga Final Odyssey Then you could spend big money and have the theme song for that project done by ISSA
>>23971248>Zero takes up 4 fucking slots>Tiga takes up 3>OG man, Zoffy, and Jack all differ by 2 pixels max
>>23971701I rather they reunite the V6
>>23971701>Maybe they're saving the budget for the 30th anniversary of Tiga Final Odysseyy'know I'm surprised they're not straight up making a Tiga 30th anniversary movie after Nagano being approachable now
Teo tomorrow!
>>23972201Maybe they're planning on a Trigger Final Odyssey
>>239725192 days too early, anon

>>23972746at least it's projected to go up. Blazar and Arc really tanked the fucking IP huh
>>23972567Not in some time zones...
>>23972781I thought Blazar brought quite many new fans while also making old fans happy because of no legacy stuffs in the show.
>>23972781Blazar is kinda like TDG, still got merch even after the show end.
>>23972781>>23972984Blazar at least sales-wise only did a little bit worse than Decker. The issue is that New Gen had been almost consistently growing every year up to that point and that stopped it. Then sales started falling more in the next couple of years.
>>23972781Blazar and Arc feel like attempts at writing what "Millennium" Ultras would be like where each show is a fresh reimagining that ignores everything except for 66
>>23972746nice, sales are recovering
>>23973066They expect sales will recover, the current numbers are pretty much the same as last year's.
>kid getting shot in the throat>dog getting exploded>Jiro getting strangled and threatenedThe middle episodes of Jack don't fuck around holy shit.
Taiyo Sugiura is one of those toku alums who's generally down to come back whenever, right? It'd be neat if Cosmos made an appearance in Teo.
>>23973131its the best part of the show
>>23972746good news?
>>23973134I want Leo, because of destroyed home planet and all.
One week left.
>>23973977Leo also rhymes with Teo
>>23973977>>23973993>Astronomy Club gets blown up
>>23972987What other toy have they made for Blazar?
>>23973979Show me the fourth Absolutian!!
Teo tonight!
kekky ...
Man by the time they reunite the group the show will basically be half over.
>>23974721it's really just tomabechi and rintarou left. if they both get 2 episodes, including tomabechi's episode today, that would mean they all would be back in the club by episode 9 which not even close to half of 25, mind you Emma is already in teh club. it's a MOTW show anyway, well, monster of every 2 weeks but you get the idea. we haven't been introduced to any plot point that would make it feel like spending time with characters is "eating away" at screentime for a heavy overarching narrative.
>>23974836Don't forget the four recap episodes
Aw, I wonder if those are the staffs cats.
>>23969037I think the only time M78 would really intervene against them is if there's an inhabited world about to just flat out fucking die and those retards are just sitting there watching it because "they caused the situation so they have to solve it themselves".Like, the Space Gazers outright would have just let Celebro destroy Z's Earth because they made Ultroid Zero even though they were manipulated into it. That's how fucking stupid their philosophy is.
>>23974864those dont get counted in the 25 episodes. you should know this by now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCEnVvAfLP8How was Teo's sixth episode?
>>23974920Kino start to what looks to be a crazy part two
Is Vermilos a reused Peguila/Pegunos?
>>23974923His fighting stance is slowly changing from "oh god not in the face" to something resembling a defensive style.
>Jack's final episode has the MAT consider Goh dead after getting shot down>meanwhile in Taro the ZAT crashes or gets shot down every other episode and nobody caresI think you can can count on one hand how many times they ejected out in Jack.
>>23974920honestly, this is the first episode that I thought was pretty weak. Barely anything really happened.
>>23974920Pretty good but very excited for next week
>>23974920I hope they keep developing the supporting cast, because I felt blazar and arc didn't develop the cast enough for me to care for them
>>23975028which one, /m78/?
>>23975028>>23975062Always Veronica over Betty bros
Sorry, Teo. I was sad today. I will watch your show now.
made me lol
I liked the fact that the kaiju part took place in a residential area rather then in the middle of a city. I don't think I've ever seen that in an Ultra show before.
>>23974920boywife episode
really enjoying Teo so far. The cast has really good chemistry>>23975062naturally, both
>>23975389>The cast has really good chemistryThey're so gonna make Ibuki leaves the Earth in the ending...
>>23975469Is it not popular to keep illegal immigrants anymore?
>TAC captain already issued 4 suspensions in the first three episodes of Ace aloneJesus I want to strangle this guy already.
>>23975028This entire sequence from them finding him and he trying to change his voice actually made me laugh out loud
>>23974920A relatively low stakes episode. The fight wasn’t that impressive, but I do like how they’re taking time to characterize the cast and flesh out their personalities.
>>23977451we're back to the show era where fights serve the plot rather than the plot setting up fights
King get's a model kit from Blokees before he even gets a figuarts. I'm quite fond of Blokees. Their kits seem well engineered and are basically 1/10th scale figuarts and it confuses me why Bandai never just did that for their FRS line
>>23977997you sure that's how it was like in the showa era?
>TsubuIma recruiting extras for filming on September 14thhttps://x.com/m78_imagination/status/2086746949911478736
>YOU CAN'T JUST... TAKE CARE OF CATS!!>Why?>SOMETHING SOMETHING PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY >But these are my friend's cats.>OH. OKAY.Woman moment.
>>23978129tomabechi is a woman?
>>23969051Isn't this due to the brand licensing victory, so now you have more companies in China using the Tsuburuya license rather than that other companies'?
>>23978140Referring to Emma, obviously.I don't really get why her first assumption was that Tomabechi was hoarding stray cats, or whatever she was alluding to.
>>23978171That's too recent. Only one company transitioned over (auldey) and they only slapped some stickers on toy rulers so far
I like the detail of Ibuki returns to call him Tomabechi instead of just Bechi right after the truth about the cats revealed.
>>23978176probably because that's the natural assumption. even ibuki thought the same
>>23978176It was everyone's assumption because it'd make the episode have actual drama.
>>23978238it's everyone's assumption because1. tomabechi was talking about rescuing animals to ibuki earlier2. ibuki assumed he rescued the cats3. emma and kana got their info from ibuki
>>23978297why does it seem like Ibuki was written as a girl?
>>23978381just like Shouma/Gavv
>>23978381He's civilian blue.
>>23978365I know it's part of his "kingly regalia," but the fur cuffs around his gloves really stand out when he doesn't have it anywhere else.
>>23970890Could the lead singer of Astrodonuts have been originally cast as Ibuki?See >>23975389 ibuki loves donuts.
>>23978391that's because we haven't seen his pubes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srMNS-zkcEwEpisode 7 preview.
>>23978129Their culture assumes the poor hold ill will towards wealthier or more well off people by default
>>23978387he's very fuckable
What's with those big ass donuts they keep eating anyway? It's like a whole-ass cake.
>>23978129I think this was supposed to be her talking to the audience in case it gave kids a bad idea. This is a kids show after all.
>>23978683Looks like they were designed to scale with Pucchi's arm movement range (big enough to hold with both hands), and they worked backwards from there.
>>23970406You ever get the feeling Taro is where Araki got his love of killing dogs? They kill two within the first 10 episodes.
>>23978683>>23978721japan likes gimmick foods so i wouldnt be suprised if it actually exists
What kind of memes do you think Teo will have by the end of the show?
>>23979057the last 5 shows dont even have any meaningful memes. unless you mean something stupid that the fans cant forget like kengo's smile smile
>>23979109People memed the shit out of Blazar's caveman behavior.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Ultraman/comments/1vkggu8/trivia_the_early_concept_for_ultraman_tiga/well i'll be. one of the tiga's early concepts involve a primitive ultra battling throughout the ages till the modern times. heisei blazar if you will in terms of concept.
>episode 22 of Ace>they gave up on the flimsy pretenses to make Hokuto and Yuko henshin and just have her fly into his crashing jet nowI could just barely buy the "reach out your hands" long distance morph but this is is getting to be too much for me.
So far all of Teo's kaiju's have been bangers
>>23979329Why hasnt ultraman done effects like this recently?
>>23979725
>>23979625Well don’t worry, you won’t have to deal with the whole “touch to henshin” problem for too much longer.
>>23979786Shabadoobie
>>23979771because its gay and retarded
>>23979866whadyu mean?Look at the dude, he's cute as fuck
https://xcancel.com/meka_moru_4se/status/2075568805162651782#m
>>23979902awesome fanart, I'll have to check out this artist.
>>23971248>Gomora's sprite is just Greymon from the first gen V-petKek.
>>23980180Greymon has always been inspired by Gomora so it's a full circle moment
>>23979902I didn't know the Mega Man Zero guy liked Ultraman.
worst finale ever
>>23980834Tsubaraya removed every upload of this one on jewtube forcing me to watch my country's dub (it's bad) which gave it a weird melancholic vibe. That's the one singular decent thing I can say about it.
>>23980271He's a fan of tokusatsu in general, he's made quite a bit of Kamen Rider and Super Sentai fan art as well
>>23980864Yeah, I've seen those; I just didn't know if he liked all three.
>>23980864My favorite was his Gekiranger art. His take on the mecha was cool!
ya know, if they do want to give showa ultras forms, they could just bring the armors from super fighter legends into live action. they look good.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyEGGINbrkc
>>23975578TAC is full of fuckups. They deserve those suspensions.
