What are your thoughts on Zero's Cormo Rise and special?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fX4gbdbFqNg
>>23992572I don't think about Zero at all.
>>23992632I only think about Zero because he takes up 25% of every thread which means any opinion I had in the past has been replaced with a kind of annoynace.
>>23992572it was pretty boring. not very creative in terms of storytelling. visuals are pretty good when it comes to the actual cosmorise thing but pacing is awful. i know people joke about tokusatsu being an elaborate toy commercial, but this "special movie" is literally, exactly that.
>>23992673>>23992673It's what I've been saying all along. Current Tsuburaya staff don't want to do this kind of crossover/Land of light story at all anymore, and they're just doing this Zero stuff to get the crossover toyline out of the way from the tv show.
What's the "nin nin nin nin nin nin" song that's sung multiple times during Ultraman Leo, most notably during episode 3 right before Tooru's dad gets gored?
>>23992684I thought it was because of the rights issue with the chinks?
Have any of the lead ultra actors ever had any controversies? like arrests, drug usage, and domestic violence complaints?pic unrelated
so the asshole finally shows up huh
these are from the september previews on tsuburaya if anyones wondering
>>23992727Musashi got hit with accusations of wifebeating but he beat the allegations no issue.
Is it bad to say I do not care about this crossover at all?
>>23992727Ultraman Scott's voice actor had an abuse controversy few years ago
>>23992753Crossover always suck because it lowered the stakes.Not that Ultraman has many to begin with. If an Ultraman from another universe/dimension can suddenly just saves the day it's making the struggles pointless.
What threat could be so big it needs these 3 fuckers
>>23992765Especially if that Ultra is Zero.
>>23992765Z basically turning Gilvalis into a fodder against an online quiz was something. It's why I like Trigger and Z's more, as it was just two Ultras finding themselves dealing with the same nuisances
How do you pronounce Agul? The English way of ah-ghoul or the Japanese pronounciation of ah-goo-roo
>>23992632you mean zero thoughts
>>23992757the fact that he managed to reprise the role in UGF some time before the controversy
>>23992767Pucchi and Teo are dead weight with Zero there.
>>23992797Agool. It comes from AGGRessive/AGReement.
>>23992572Mostly whatever. It follows the same beats as basically every other time Zero gets some mysterious unbeatable superpower. I'm not a big fan of the Ultrise Eye. The sounds are kind of obnoxious and it's basically just Kamen Rider Decade's K-Touch but more powerful. The fact that Zero now has four ridiculously powerful forms with broken abilities that are now easily accessible means he can easily trivialize basically any fight he joins.
The voice of Ultraman Z.
>>23992572I like how his jingle contains bits of Ultraman's OP but as a form it feels a bit too much for Ultraman. The type of "don't think too hard about it" bullshit from Sentai and Rider. Z can just summon previous ultras and spam finishers until the enemy submits is boring and overpowered as fuck.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NqyHe5GkkYMiyano.
>>23992825Tsupro needs the money though, and Zero always seems to bring in the money
>>23992572A bit weak story wise, and I say this as someone who's a sucker for UGF and crossover stuff. Zero 'jobbing' in order to receive Ultrise Eye felt sonunearned, a literal hand me down. And while I expect Zero would get a more powerful form, Cosmo Rise is a tad bit too OP. I wish it had some limitations.That being said I love the Ultrise Eye.
>>23992731I like Zero but I really think this is a dumb move. Zero is his own marketing engine. Teo being basically on his own is one of the big points of the show.
wild
>>23992767the kaiju is definitely Project Red's omegahorn's rejected design...
>>23992727Dunno if this is count as controversies but Hideo Ishiguro got a lot of hate (including chinese fans) about his AI-generated show. So much so that there's a gossip spreading in baidu about his real attitude.

>>23992765>>23992731I can forgive him if he jeep-trains Teo
>>23993126Okay so now we’re just making Teo feel bad.God we need an Ultra who keeps up with Zero
>>23993126i hope the final arc is still Redman showing up to kill the Puchi
I mean there's giving him a wakeup call that he needs to nut up and then there's just humiliation.
do americans really
The crossover episodes are always considered the worst parts of the series. Why do they keep doing them?
>>23993391Eh the Arc-Zangill one was alright. Too bad it was ruined by the "blazar-but-not-the-blazar-we-know" part after that.
>>23993391Disagree. The Z crossover with Trigger was the best part of that show.
>>23993296Zero works better when he's isolated in his own things or shows up in something that already matches his energy. It's jarring with Teo, which seems to be trying to be a more low key and down to earth show. Zero and his loud showboating shonen protagonist thing just doesn't fit. He really does feel like Ultraman Poochie sometimes but unfortunately China loves him, so he won't go away.
>>23993395According to Tsuburaya, its somehow the smae Blazar as the show.
>>23993395>>23993447Yeah, first showed up in a relationship chart and then also referenced as such in the last recap show. They just couldn't get any of the human cast to make guest appearances, but it's supposed to be the same world.

I really hope we see Kamisori Demaaga again someday
>>23993355I want to fuck Pucchi so much.
>>23993391they sell toys
>>23993957I want to see TsuPro do a Ghidorah clone or Mechagodzilla clone instead of just another regular Godzilla clone
>>23994386Did the latter kinda
>>23993680Oh, so it's that one song that appears in Taro (IIRC). Thanks a lot anon.
>>23994395Cyber kaiju are never specified to be robot clones, most of them are regular kaiju and kaijins with added X powers
>>23993395>Arc-Zangill one was alrightSometimes I wish it really just Zangill's spirit traveling between universes and he arrived on Omega's world too.
Scans wen
>>23993395blazar's part of the croosover was really just to waste 2 episodes of arc's runtime isnt it. fucking ridiculous how much of a nothingburger that second half of the crossover was
>>23995604Those last two episodes could've been used to develop the cast or world of Arc
sex with Bogal
>>23995265What aboot Mecha-Gomora?
>>23996099Gomora was never intended as a copy of Godzilla
>>23996121No but Mecha-Gomora is a robot copy of Gomora specifically to defeat a Gomora (Rei's). That fills the Mechagodzilla niche pretty precisely.
what Ultra series is like this
24 hours after Dolly Parton died, Kilokhan's voice actor and legendary American actor Tim Curry passed away, too.
69 years old this year for the voice of Ultraman Hikari.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OE8ktRMrv4Tiga,
Would Ultraman want me to give up hope for the world?
>>23996153Each Mechagodzilla had a different origin behind it The first was made by aliens who came from a dead solar system specifically as a killing machine. The second and third were made by the military to protect Japan, the former reverse-engineering future technology, the other using the Original ShodaiGoji skeleton as the frame of a cyborg body
>>23997008Alien Magma is hilariously hype, like a pro wrestler.
>>23997168>The first was made by aliensJust like Mecha-Gomora, who was made by the Salome aliens.
>>23997142So will we be seeing some other H12 Uktras later? We have to see at least the red one. You can't just make him stand out and just ignore him.
>>23997138I'm tired of these monsters that are based off Zetton
>>23997135is that a frilless Gabora or a new kaiju?
>>23997135>>23997138now that is very fucked up looking kaiju lol. and of course zero starts flexing strong corona on the guy who can't really change forms>>23997142these look so good for a NPC type of suit. Like they have more personality than land of light residents. I hope we see them because some of them did manage to escape like teo did>>23997237i feel like the red one will eventually show up as a mentor to teo, either as a ghost imparting the correct way to use the crystar or just showing up as a human and transforming once and then disappearing
>>23997770Really, they could've use the red ultra or the other H12 ultras to train Teo instead of having Zero.
>>23997819Zero sells and he has a movie coming up
>>23992731He seems so out of place in this show.I don't feel like Teo should be exposed to another traditional Ultra so quickly, it really takes away some of the appeal of watching him find his own way.
>>23993094Eh? I think it's a lot more appealing than the roided out human body on the omegahorn kaiju.
>>23997138very showa design
>>23997770heh, yeah. unless zero will help teo achieve a new form. I really pray Teo Active is a proper/new suit form change. since they got money to make these other h12 citizens, they should spare some for their MAIN ultra of the year....wouldn't teo's color changing gimmick counts as a form change, since they lasts at least for 5 seconds each.
>>23997859The color changes just happen during specific attacks though, rather than actually acting like forms like people expected before the show started.
I find it funny that this goofy looking thing is probably the most powerful choju Ace battled in his own show. The thing beats the shit out of him and Ace only wins because he's able to literally shoot it in the back.
The spread.
>>23997946and one of the most tragic kaijus...
>>23997947what the fuck is that thing on the bottom left corner
Zero looks ugly and Teo is handsome. Unfortunate that I have to see Zero's ugly head rear into my Teo-time.
>>23997961honestly any of Zeros alternate forms look better then his base form
>>23997947>HELLO TYRANNOSAURS ALAN!
Higher quality pages.
Zero was the absolute worst possible choice for a crossover Ultra for Teo. Why not Cosmos? He's more thematically in line with the show's tone and could also show Teo that sometimes you have to lay the smackdown because taking the peaceful approach isn't going to work and both approaches are valid. You can be peaceful and not like conflict but still understand that it's unavoidable sometimes and you have to be able to face it.
>>23998341probably because of Bandai's demand or something. considering Tsupro managed to convince Bandai letting Teo not having excessive gimmicks and relagate all the anniversary marketing to Zero, they eventually have to put him in the mainline show to market the toy further. I'm gonna be annoyed that Zero is gonna get glazed harder than he was in X at this stage.
I have to say, Sompote personal collections is really good. First time I'm seeing Tohl Narita original painting and concept arts for the kaiju

>>23997952
I don't hate Zero but Teo meeting him this early feels like a fucking in-universe spoiler for his path to heroism.
>>23998443>>23998441He's just Ultraman if he were a kaiju instead of an alien
So after over 2 decades we're FINALLY getting another Baragon inspired kaiju
>>23993433It'll work better than it did in Geed at leastGeed was unironically more low key than Teo; Pegassa didn't do shit compared to Pucchi and neither did whatever the joke of the kaiju organization in Geed was called. At least UTTF seem to be actually putting in effort, we'll see if it results in anything
I’ve been really enjoying Teo. The Zero crossover has me worried the story is going to falter, but I’ll stay optimistic.
>>23998905The crossover episodes are always the low point of the show so it'll be nothing new
>>23998905I'm not really enjoying it. It's just been a bunch of babysitting so far. Babysitting Pucchi, babysitting cats. A scientist chick babysitting a bird kaijuFrankly Zero is what this show needs to inject some life into it
>>23998931I don't know, I thought the Decker-Trigger and Z-Ace crossovers were decent.
>A fifth Baragon variant
Pucchi has jetpacks?!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iXg6SpH8mYHow was Teo's 8th episode?
Pucchi is more useful at this kaiju fighting business than Teo
Pucchi Is too cute.
I'm invested, but I hate these two-parter episodes. I hated them when Kamen Rider was doing them, and I still hate them now
>>23999002I feel that doing 2-parters almost back to back is a bit excessive, but I feel we're getting character development for the cast so I currently can't complain.
>>23998984easily my fav ep so far. Great mix of action and character development. Volthog is a great new addition to the electric kaiju family and Pucchi is fucking awesome
>>23999002ok zoomer
Really loving today's episode. The beginning fight and the far-off shots of the kaiju are really nice. Love that they also touch on how even in the UTTF, the motives don't align. Also, Teo pulling off a running kousen point blank was totally unexpected. He's a lot more skilled then he lets on.
>>23999050the visuals of Teo have been really good
>>23999050I also like that it seems using his powers is actually painful as well as exhausting, really adds depth to an Ultra where normally they are god-like. The direction and suit actor are doing an amazing job.
Over archin cat plot is fun.
>>23999115I don't know if I like them more than other recent series, but they've certainly been creative.
>>23999251
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqRsW9ka4U8Episode 9 preview.
>>23999270im gonna laugh my fucking ass off if Pucchi manages to fend off a kaiju which makes it more successful than jobbergaron
Kekky...
so there's a trademark of a pucchi getting another form called demon modification pucchi. meanwhile nothing for teo....
>>23999907any other trademarks besides that?
Teo has been a pleasent surprise after the blandness that was Omega. I hope it can keep up the quality.
>>23999930No so far. I hope Teo gets something. If pucci gets form changes but the titular ultra doesn't, means tsupro is smoking.
>>23999907He's totally getting kidnapped and body modded. Poor guy.
>>24000141I'm shocked at how much I like Pucchi. ot only is he cute, but he's charming and likeable as well as helpful. He feels more like an actual character rather then just a cute mascot.
>>23993433>Zero works better when he's isolated in his own thingsIt's why I'm salty that Zero is retconned into the representative of NewGen instead of Ginga. Zero stands on his own, he's like Spider-Man
>>24000283I think Ginga just isn't very popular or interesting to a lot of people
>>24000283>>24000297that and China has a boner for Zero. I never get the sun wukong Zero connection though.
>>24000297That is the sad part about NewGen in general. Even back then they originally wanted Orb to be the leader of the group because of his popularity.But whenever I see Man representing Showa, Tiga representing Heisei/High Concept, I wish Ginga would be representing NewGen while Zero is his own because he's affiliated with all three.
>>24000283>Zero is retconned into the representative of NewGen instead of GingaThis was never a thing. The only reason why Zero even stands with representatives of showa, heisei, reiwa, and any new guy is because he's the face of the entire company
>>24000694you mean the face of nu-tsupro.
Am I crazy or are they adding layers to the ending song every couple episodes? I feel like it'll have straight up lyrics by the end of the show.
>>24000781It's either zero, man, or seven. there's really no one else. anyone who says tiga is a chinaman or indonesian.>>24000783no it's not one song having layers added. it's straight up 3 songs in rotation.
>>23993115>Sep 5: Episode 9 “The Static Reach”original title: "That one is (an) Untouchable"I suppose they didn't want to get issue with Indians
>>23999146Yeah, I'm loving everything they have been with Teo.I think it hurts because the Crystarr is not actually Teo's color timer
>>24001088I like that idea. It opens up a whole world of how color timers work at a fundamental level, like do you have to train with it gradually over hundreds of years? Does it only unearth latent ability or does it contain and transfer ability? Can you collect color timers and use then situationally? Neat stuff. Teo is quickly rising to the top of my list of favorite Ultras.
>>24001105also the other H12 ultras in >>23997142 all have a small round color timer. Is the Crystar some kind of "weaponized" timer?
>>24001088The red Ultra's color timer is Teo's but upside down so that's not impossible
>>24001111plot twist: Teo is having issues because he's wearing it wrong-
>>24001081Japan has their own untouchables. They are called Burakumin or the Buraku. they were basically whats left of the feudal era caste system and the caste has been abolished for about 150 years now but it's still a sensitive topic i guess
>>24000465Dis nigga still pushing his headcanon after being provably retarded >>23983341
>>24002241i'm a different anon from that poster you referring too; I forgot about the recent charts. But still seeing some posts saying like Zero brings a lot of money and tsupro really wants the china money, so i thought the connection is still there.that begs the question: why don't they just use OG man or Tiga for the 60th? Could give them new forms.
>>24003037MAN is due to China rights drama still ongoing. Tiga has his own 30th events and merch so they can double dip
>>24003037>that begs the question: why don't they just use OG man or Tiga for the 60th? Could give them new forms.I think going with someone like Zero over Tiga is because Zero from the start was a crossover Ultra, even if he didn't have past Ultra powers, while giving a crossover form to Tiga would be messing with his core concept.
Heard some rumors that red ultra is appearing in 2nd half and will have his own transformation device. Teo Active is still blue but comes with a weapon. When is the next toy expo?
>>23999934Nah. I can't believe I'm saying this, but Omega was better than TeoTeo has to have, bar none, the least relevant cast an Ultra show has ever had. Either that or the least relevant kaiju. Even R/B and Ginga at least sorta tried to tie the rando students or the protagonists' family into the kaiju situation, but with Teo the school scenes have basically nothing whatsoever to do with the kaiju attacks. It's like if you removed the kaiju from the show you'd be watching fucking Saved By the Bell. And that's not what I'm interested in Ultra for.
>>24003831what the fuck are you talking about lol
Dead thread
>>23992797AGG-ru
What if you were walking through the woods in Japan, just having a nice hike, and then Teo and a kaiju tumble in front of you. They're towering over you, grappling, and all you can see as you look up is Teo's smooth humongous ass blocking out the sun. If he stumbled and fell on his ass then you and surrounding area would be flattened to a crater. You want to run but the idea makes you want to just stay there and stare at the giant sculpted alien ass in fromt of your eyes. Teo squats taking a defensive stance. His brobdingnagian bulge and titanic thighs take up your entire field of view. Is that the earth shaking, or did you just get… a little excited?
The fuck? Arc just learns to do the combo attack without Blazar?What happened with Zangil teaching him all that nippon banzai shit with Galaxy Armor??
>>24006213These crossover episodes were so weird and kind of bad in such strange ways.
>>24005375Now imagine a Golza III inspired by Miregoji and IrisuGame
>>23992797Gabagool
>>23992797the only reason why japanese pronounciation has the "ru" at the end is because they have no L sounds and no ending consonants.
Teo feels lower budget than even Omega. College kids messing about gives me Ginga S1 vibes, although not to that extent of zero budget.
>>24006615Well if that tabloid a few months ago means anything, than yes; it is a low budget series.We had it good with th return to the old era of Defense Team between Z to Blazar. Now we got nothing
>>24006615Teo is way higher budget than Omega. Just pay attention to the battles and wide-angle shots. Omega blew all of its budget on the opening which was also entirely CG
New episode teomorrow
Really excited for tonights episode. Last weeks was the best so far and I really want to see where the story goes from here.
I really want to see Emma eat a ton of food and get really stuffedIt seems in character for her
Since Omega, we've gotten some very beautiful changers. This one's painted though, by @hohoken_z
>>24007325has Omega;s merch been selling well?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRaG_wLuhagHow was Teo's 9th episode?
>>24007353It made me feel like watching Fourze again, which is to say very comfy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdqJNl86OjUPrime video.
>>24007353I'm glad they expand upon the cast.
>>24007353This show just keeps getting better and better. I will say, I really hope Teo's identity gets revealed soon.
I just realized, that out of the entire franchise, only 4 shows have the final boss be not of alien origin
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuG8tCUR5zIEpisode 10 preview.
this show has been such a treat so far. all the characters are very likeable. despite being a show that's focusing on coexistence, the fights are no slouch at all. im starting to like this direction
>>24007485not beating the gay allegations...
UTTF is globohomo enough to smuggle a kaiju, but can't install surveillance cameras?
>>24007735surveillance camera for what exactly? we only know what to do because we know ibuki is teo but to the UTTF, he's a just a blue giant who magically appears and flies away. the idea to spy on people isnt even on the table since they have no reason to believe the blue giant came from a human, no reason to suspect that teo has an alt identity
>>24007760bro they already had 2 kaijus approach the university and its surroundings so something's definitely there. And even if they are as retarded as you say, why doesn't the university itself have security cameras?
What's with Teo turning yellow only to turn green?
>>24007777what are you talking about? only sodera went to the university and that was to eat puchi meanwhilel kyoko thought it was going after minobe's samples. the only time the UTTF has any real suspicion at the university was when kyoko speculated that giant puchi came from the pod, and even then, only kyoko is suspicious of the university while the rest of the UTTF doesn't care about giant puchi and wants to focus only on teo. the UTTF doesnt even know what they're looking for so what would be the point of cameras? they dont even know that Teo even has a disguise let alone know where to look.>>24007779the meta reason is bait and switch. lore reason, who knows. just another entry in an ultraman's long list of bullshit asspull abilities
>>24007354>doesn't magically get over his fear of touching animals after one pep talk>instead decides he can pivot his focus to something else that better suits him so he can stay in school Actually a fairly reasonable resolution.
>>24000465They released some figures with clothes based on different folk characters, Zero's was Sun WUkong.
Teo really is NewGen Cosmos, huh
Weirdly enough, this guy is my least fav new kaiju from Teo so far. Its design and abilities are cool, but the way the suit looks in movement just looks really off to me.
Well now
Are there any books or interviews by Ultra's kaiju designers that go over how they conceived of the kaiju from an appearance standpoint and how they come up with their powers?
>>24009794There are a lot of them. I've seen enough videos from Bilibili uploaders with primary sources to know that there are books and interviews out there
>>24009852Any titles or links I could use as a springboard?
>>24009861This guy is actually in Japanhttps://space.bilibili.com/145544
>>24009045SLOPPY SLURPER. FUCKIN' GLUTTONUS BITCH
>>24007810>the meta reason is bait and switch. lore reason, who knows. just another entry in an ultraman's long list of bullshit asspull abilitiesI can only assume yellow state boosts his energy.
Is Omega worth watching?
>>24010169Yeah, sure. It's got a lot of fun moments though I can't say it's a particularly memorable show.
>>24007779TsuPro has no budget for purple suit
Tiga 30th today 7th September.
>>24010169Out of new gen, only Orb, Blazar and Arc are worth watchingMaybe Z as well if you want a bit more fanservice I guess
>>24010169Takes too long for the MILF to show up and form the science patrol. They should've started with the formation of the science patrol or omit it altogether.
>>24010354Naah, skip Blazar and just get to Arc. Most overrated show
>>24010397Blazar is better than:GingaXGeedTaigaR/BTriggerDeckerOmegaat the bare minimum, and it's certainly shaping up to be better than Teo as well given how fucking nothing whatsoever has happened so far and we're almost halfway inNew gen is just so desolate, it's depressing
>>24010399Naah, I take four series in there over Blazar. You know the Potential Man meme? That's Blazar in a nutshell. So much promises for a series that's actually different than usual, unfulfilled because the staffs are a bunch of nostalgic old men believing that they can recreate the magic of the good old Showa days
>>24010404Frankly I like Blazar more than any showa Ultra. It's its own thing. It's a matter of what expectations you have going into it I suppose. I never thought of it as having potential it didn't fulfill. Hell I'm not even sure what you really get that angle from. The one most obvious new gen show that left so much shit on the table is clearly Geed, which did basically nothing whatsoever with the concept of Geed being Belial's son
>>24010418Blazar first episode for starters. The vibe of the rest of the show and the premiere is starkly different. I've got no problem with a the usual MoTW flavor, but I would appreciate more of that disaster movie feel. The rest of the show is about as intense as your usual New GenThen there's the fact that Gento character not being explore more. He's a dad keeping his job secret from his family, captaining a team, while hosting an Ultra who behaves like a caveman. There's so much potential for plot there.Plus, SKaRD and Earthgaron ended up being disappointing in general. Barely any win without Blazar, and besides Emi, are only props for the MoTW plotsBlazar had it all in the beginning and delivered barely half of it
>>24010427>Blazar first episode for startersThe budgets of these shows are what they are, but like, having a first episode that's way better than the rest of show is just kind of par for the course for new gen. Arc does it too honestly, like there's really nothing as a cool as that entire 3 minute fight scene being done in a single take for the entire rest of the show>Then there's the fact that Gento character not being explore moreThe series wasn't really about him. Instead it was exploring kind of a general theme of miscommunication and using Gento to demonstrate it. Him and Blazar not being able to understand each other, his own awkwardness around his kid, his inability to tell his team that he's Ultraman. The theme of course plays out in the stories of the side cast and the main plot as well, where resolving a miscommunication with the incoming aliens ends up saving Earth. >Barely any win without BlazarAgain, par for the course. Even when prior series had the defense scoring kills, they definitely weren't doing it without the help of the Ultra in most of the time.>and besides Emi, are only props for the MoTW plotsalready addressed above, but also, again how is this different from the rest of new gen?Your complaints are singling out Blazar for things most Ultra shows are doing. Could it have been better? Sure. But, unusually for new-gen, its lineup of episodic stories is really strong. The Nijikagachi two-parter, and the Demaaga, Garamon and Zangill episodes were all fantastic.The Gebalga two-parter is up there too. You'd see me complaining less about new gen if it had more episodes on this level.
>>24010456Mostly because a lot of people like to prop up Blazar as this better 'than most shows' that it's not. It's about as good as the shows you listed
>>24010466I think it is better just because of those better episodes, like I said. And because the cast don't feel like exaggerated overreacting anime stereotypes like they do in most other shows. And even if they could have done more with it, Earth Garon was still really cool as a design, and the fact that subsequent shows have moved away from including things like it instead of building on that foundation has been an utter mistake.Call it a jobber all you want, that's more of a purpose than any of the side characters in Arc, Omega or Teo serve
>>24010478Sure. Still won't say it's above the rest. The quality is there, but so are the mediocrities
God I fucking hate NewGen slander.
30 years since the premiere of Ultraman Tiga.
>>24010583You're unironically mentally ill and should seek mental help
>>24009869This guy's videos are psychotic.
https://twitter.com/TsuburayaGlobal/status/2096735195168694636"Do you remember the first time you saw Ultraman Tiga?"
>>24010335still one of the best shows in the franchise
Do we know how well Teo has been selling and been recieved compared to Omega?
>>24010780No, because I was a literal baby
>>24011309you'll have to wait for march (?) 2027 anon. it's projected to go up last time I checked (after omega). since I'm too fucking lazy to actually go check each report. i'll let grok table it. yeah, yeah AI bad so sue me
>>24011317>using AI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FygzhOkAlEMTeoxShimajiro.
>>24010780Was around 9 or 10 when Tiga dropped on local tv, around 1999 or 2000, can't recall. I still have fond memories of watching the one episode with the oni, watching it inside the room of my old house, with the AC on and covered in blankets.
>>24011318cry about it nigga
>>24010456>Arc does it too honestly, like there's really nothing as a cool as that entire 3 minute fight scene being done in a single take for the entire rest of the showKing of Mons fight and the final battle. Hell, I’d even say the former is better than the first fight.
>>24010739Fuck yeah I need help. Coz too many oldgoodnewbadfags and Takahashi fags around.
>>24010456>the series isnt about gento>it uses gento to demonstrate the themesthen it's about gento you fucking bum lol. gento's only function in the show is to transform. the most interesting he's ever been is in episode 1 when he's actually being a tactical genius. this NEVER happens again and no amount of mentioning "budget" can ever handwave that away because the writer is paid a salary and all he has to do is fucking write it in>they definitely weren't doing it without the help of the Ultra in most of the time.storage has a proven track record before ultras came and still managed to beat monsters without ultras >castZ, Decker, hell even Trigger has better use of the cast than Blazar. Emi got way too much screentime only for her plotline to end with "dobashi is...le bad..." I'd say Emi is the actual main character of the show and even then, she's shit. Compare that to Sorato and Kosei and you actually get a duo with great chemistry and ayumu + hag just makes it better. Anri, yasunobu, and teruaki are really bland characters in comparison, you could remove them it would make no difference. The best episode in blazar is that insurance episode in which none of the main cast appear lolI'll help that anon out with shitting on Blazar. The problem with Blazar is that it has 0 fucking villains. it doesnt know what it wants. on one hand you got a guy doing an honest mistake and trying to cover it up, on other hand you got a vengeful fleet of aliens coming to earth that ultimately got turned around after hearing one word (kek what a stupid fucking resolution) and they were nice enough to leave vallaron behind for blazar to kill as a finale (holy shit blazar is trash) the only reason why people gave blazar the time of day was because they thought he was gonna be related to nexus somehow (retards lol)
What's with these two guys fighting ghosts about Blazar? This guy always brings up how "people" thought Blazar would be connected to Nexus but that has to have been like two posters maximum because I don't even remember it being something anybody actually believed.
I feel blazar is one of those ultra series that need a second season.
>>24011594>>24011793To be fair, SKARD has really strong Night Raiders vibes, at least in the beginning, so I can see how people might get misled.
>>24011866They have a giant robot dragon two episodes in and openly operate in full view of the public for the entire show
>>24011910I'm not defending Blazar, I think that show is mid. I'm saying that SKARD opens up looking like badasses and at least for me I thought they were going to be actual basasses like NR.
>>24011920That wasn't SKaRD though.
>>24011957Are you saying that jumping out of an airship into a kaiju battle isn't basass? What point are you trying to make?
>>24011966SKaRD doesn't exist at that point.
>>24011972Right, but seeing the GGF in the beginning of Blazar it's not a stretch to think that the show is going to be like Nexus. Emi is a badass but nowhere near Nagi. Gento deals with a memory issue and is secretive around his family which are also themes in Nexus. Again, I'm not defending Blazar, just saying that thinking the show would be similar to Nexus, at least in the beginning, is believable.
>>24012013I don't think it is and when one guy has been raging about it for three years you'd think there would be an actual answer as to why.
>>24011594I'd respond but>The problem with Blazar is that it has 0 fucking villainsWe've been over this before and I'm aware you're dishonest. Do not reply to my posts, we do not need to have repeat discussions where you will continuously make bad faith points.
>>24012013At what point was Nagi ever "badass"? She was just a cunt. She never did anything cool.
>>24012015OK, well you're being purposfully cobative so I won't lay out the case any further because I don't really give a shit.>>24012020>At what point was Nagi ever "badass"?She's a cunt for sure, but she's driven and never hesitates to jump into the front line of battle which is pretty badass compared to most team members of any show.
Blazarglazers are the new gen Nexusglazers
>>24012032No one's glazing Blazar, you're just having a mental breakdown over people calling you retarded
>>24011350that's such a cool memory
>>24012059See, the same energy as a SEA youtube comment section. Next they'll say 'Blazar adalah Noa'.
>>24012075Swinging at shadows here, SEAnigger. Take your gukgukdada bullshit to whatever Facebook group you're from.
>almost halfway through the series>Teo Active still not leakedWhat gives?
>>24012077See. Glazers. Close to their uber favorite Ultra name too.
>>24012099Quote one part where there's any glazing.
>>24007830that's it? I mean i've seen it. I thought it would have a deeper connection like the way China dubbed him or something. Or even fan materials.
>>24012082supposedly they'll reveal it in the next toy expo? what month do they usually have those? that and I heard it's gonna debut mid-season.
It's not like I'm concerned because I'm sure they'll be back sooner than later, but now that we're a few shows in I'm not the biggest fan of the Arc->Omega->Teo "removal" of attack teams. I do think each show has used their different executions enough to justify the change, but I was just watching some older Ultra today and thinking that I'm missing attack teams.
>>24011866that wasnt skard that was gento's first team which seems way more competent
>>24012397its due to budget
>>24012450Scientists agree actual mech is less useful that conventional vehicles. The only thing mech has over vehicles are terrains coverage, and Earthgarron isn't crawling mountains
>>24012458tell that to sevenger's track record
It's kinda funny how Orb used to be beloved but borderline forgotten now.
seems like the toys for the 2nd half of Teo has been leaked on reddit
>>24012474The Amazon Prime series probably killed any faith for further projects
>>24012478"it seems" nigga post it here then
https://tsuburaya.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page
>>24012500not spoonfeeding your ass go find it yourself
>>24012500I would have but that site uses webp and i wasn't in the mood to convert the file.
>>24012582shut the fuck up then retard "go to reddit" it USELESS INFO
>>24012585>>24012500>>24012595decided to bother and get the pic
>>24012615>no GubilaOh thank fuck
>>24012615>taganular FUCK OFFFFFFFFFFF
i'm very curious about Teo Active now. I heard he's still mainly blue. wonder if it's gonna be like ginga strium where his color signal gimmick carries over to that form too.
>>24012632TAGANULAR QUADRILOGY CONFIRMED
>>24012661>Inb4 he looks like Cosmos Eclipse
>>24012454Yeah I get that part too. Just hope they can find their footing a bit more and bring them back some day.
The Thousand Year Taganular Empire.
>>24012615what is with their obsession with Taganular
>>24012615Magular and Blitz Blotz????
>>24012890It’s a cool suit that breaks up the typical Kaiju silhouette.
>>24012893but Blazar had tons of other cool monsters they could reuse
>>24012894Mogusion deserves a comeback... Assuming the suit isn't already recycled
They should bring back parasutan. And I have not even watch cosmos yet.
>>24012480Frankly it's after Z. By UGF Destined Crossroad Orb is pretty much treated as 'just there'
>>24012474It's weird and kinda wild how Aoyagi is still so involved and being able to get all sorts of Ultraman guests on his podcast thing while Ishiguro is errrrrrrr making shitty TikToks on Chinese social media
>>24013220You're either in the Zero gang, or you're not. It will be interesting to see what happens to Theo in the future
>>24013234Aoyagi just seems like a cool guy in general
>>24013234I think Aoyagi has less of an ego and has realized what his career is going to be from now on.
>>24012615>no Vermilos, Volthog, or Sodera:(
>>24013278I'd love a Volthog toy
>>24013278I find it weird the new kaijus don't get sofubis or toys currently. what are they doing over there.
Will Teo's Taganular have the same lore as Blazar's? i.e. Anti-Alien defense cannon
>>24013546no
>>24013615What a random collection of characters.
>>24013615>buzz fucking lightyearyeah ok
Jeez Omega was made on the cheap
>>23997947Frilless Gabora
>>24013615My HEROES... and Mega Man X is there too I guess
Teo tonight!
>>24013954It's name is Nebora. So I'm guessing a hybrid of Neronga and Gabora.
>>24013931this is every ultraman show
>>24013615I... Do not follow the theme
>>24013931In all fairness the one with the slime mold was a plot point.
Its a shame that aside from Gan-Q, no other Gaia kaiju have ever shown up in another show
IDK why Teo's fights are so hype inducing
>>24013931Gonna blow your mind.>Bemular is Gango>Cicada Man was Alien Baltan>Godzilla was Jirahs>Alien Zarab was Ragon>Skydon was Gamakugira>Zambular was Gavadon B>Alien Zetton was Kemur>Neronga, Gabora and Magura were Baragon>Pigmon was Garamon>Aboras was Red King>Guesra was Peter>Zaragas was Gomora>Guigass was Hydra>Chandlar was Peguila>Banila was Imola
>H12 suits debatingSo the planet didn't blow up on the day of? Or are they implying that there are more H12 out there
So, so far, Teo's only killed three kaiju, two being ones that attacked his home planet, and one that was going to each Pucchi.
>Teo mario jumped
>>24015118they were disguised better
>>24015156he didn't kill the second Vialoga
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r45nxbnwuv4How was Teo's 10th episode?
>>24015167>disguised better>they put floppy ears on Peguila>they put a frill on Godzilla>Pigmon lacked a symbol on it's chest>they just rotated Kemur's head
>>24015170Loved the scene with pucci flying everyone.
Zero is coming next week
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upDOlvhAh7YEpisode 11 preview.
>>24015170Comfy. The series just reminds me of Cosmos, but it's more slice of life.
>>24015150Maybe he freaked out and panicked because he couldn't handle the murder debate and him not being there to fight alongside the survivors led to their end.
>>24015176Meh
These shows need to be longer. We're almost halfway through and it still feels like its only just begun
Is that fucking Mr Volcano
>>24015170Love it. Reminded me of the Mochi episode in Taro. So silly.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pih3_MyR12ISuper Best.
I really like this scene. I wonder where the rest of them are now
>>24015170comfy episode.
We need more eps like this one
I wonder if the 2-parters have full 2-episode budget. Like was this a 15 episode series stretched to 25 or so using 2-parters?>>24015177Zero's inside a kid?

>>24015586The suit's so torn up.
Pucchi is just silly
>>24015746they're sexy
>>24015809He reminds me of WoO
RAAAAAAAAAH HOW YA DOIN MR VOLCANO
Throwing Zero into Teo which has been pretty laid back so far feels like such a dick move kek
>>24016073Tsupro needs the money badly
>>24016123But I thought tsupro prefer trying to go back to the glory days with less toys and more mature route? :p
>>24015966HELLO TYRANNOSAURS ALAN! I’M FILLING MY WATER WITH VOLCANICITY
>>24016296MY BIRDS!
>>24016239They realizes that they need money
>>24016327the kanegon hungers
Was the Vialoga footage in ep 10 new or reused footage?
>>24016073to be fair, Teo so far has been too cozy for his own good. he needs to be reminded that the Vialoga fleet is still out there lol. i still want to see him spin a monster to death
>>24016468I feel like Teo's arc will culminate to him ultimately choosing to not take lives, and instead solve things in his own pacific way
>>24016483thats gay
>>24017505Yes, it's a happy resolution, fitting for wholesome Theo
>>24017675teo shouldnt be wholesome, he should be understanding. sometimes, things just needs to DIE
>>24016073>>24016468>>24016483Meeting Zero is probably the push Teo needs to push him towards actually making his choice about the Vialoga.
>>24017712Yes, dying naturally instead of having to be exterminated>>24017715Like befriending them with the power of light
>>24017715Couldn't they use another ultra? Like from H12 or maybe even Ultraman himself since it's his anniversary.
>>24017815Zero is the most popular Ultra of all time and makes money.
>>24017838and Tsupro needs money atm
The what now?
>>24018000who is even gonna buy this
>>24018070I'm that person who reads novelizations. Something like this could be more interesting than watching 50 episodes of alien-of-the-week. Similarly, I rely on the Ultra Wiki for some of those long ass series to filter out anything that is just filler. Like, I never watched all of Taro or Ace, just the important episodes to get the feel of the show. I usually watch the first six or seven and last six or seven episodes, then pick about a dozen from the middle. Watching half the series is good enough. And I can do that thankfully because I can read the synopsis beforehand.
>>24018077Goddamn you're a faggot
>>24018078Yes, I am totally a faggot for both watching and reading and even playing games of shows/movies I like. I can't help it. I even read manga and graphic novels of movies. Crazy, right?
>>24018077you're a pathetic loser
>>24018145Yes I am a pathetic loser which is why I'm posting on an imageboard about Ultraman. Let's be real here, this isn't cool. (but it is fun)
>>24018077You're the worst
>>24018078>>24018145>>24018288keep going!
I blame Blazar for bringing in these new pretentious type of fans. Things were simpler back in the toyetic days when it was just one guy who insist his fanfic will be adapted by TsuPro
guy
Recap episodes arent any time soon right
>>24018571after episode 13 i think. (hopefully)
Astro donut will be singing Teo's theme on some kids program just before this week's ep.
>>24018593i kinda found this out by accident but if you turn on audio voice boost on youtube's player and play the regular TV opening, it literally sounds like kanna and emma are singing karaoke of the OP
>>24018593I genuinely wonder how Teo is doing wil kids. I feel like they'd find it boring.
