eXis10z Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 I'm excited. Follow the manga and it's quite decent. Quote
electric indigo Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 Bandai teased related plamo (figures) somewhere, but I can't find the link. More on July, 29th. http://www.taghobby.com/archives/294750 Quote

Same here, I have a CrunchyRoll account and it seems every older iteration of Ultraman is on there, but there's just so many series and I would have zero idea where to start. If this is something new, and I can get on board from the beginning, I may have to check it out. Quote
Dynaman Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 I'd say start with the original, I watched the US version as a kid (hiding behind the chair), but it has not aged well. The monsters have zippers and wear slippers a number of times. I saw a bit of a series from the nineties I'm guessing (from the bad CGI) and it was not much better. Sometimes growing up is a bummer. Off topic - but this reminds me it is time to search Youtube for Johnny Socko and his Flying Robot, Ultraman, Space Giants, and Dynaman (USA up all night version) vids again. Quote

Ignore the newer power ranger-ish ultraman/s. Quote

JB0 Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 Odd, I thought Ultraman's license was tied up in some extremely weird shenanigans. TO THE INTERNET! ... Okay, the appeals on the last round of lawsuits were ended in April 2018, ruling that for US copyright purposes original production company Tsubaraya owns the entire franchise unambiguously. Like everyone else's courts, the US courts determined the contract transferring some and/or all rights to Chaiyo Productions is, to use a bit of legalese, a complete fake and totally bogus. So as of a couple months ago, there's no license confusion in America. And this production is licensed by Tsubaraya, the ACTUAL owners of the franchise. Quote
Fusion Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 I think this was around for a while and Netflix is just branding it as their new Ultraman. Quote

Bolt Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 Wow.. awesome! Takes me back to my childhood. I have noticed Japan’s love for the Ultraman style over the years. I’m glad it’s endured. There’s always been some version of him in Hobby Japan.. Quote
TehPW Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 *cries a little* My brother loved this sh*t when he was alive... :/ It's not my particular cup of tea but it does look... different? Quote

Based on the manga as a sequel to the OG ultraman tv series. That is actually a mechanical suit worn by Hayate's son. Quote
TangledThorns Posted October 29, 2018 Posted October 29, 2018 Hopefully it's better than the Godzilla anime movies on Netflix. Quote
Dynaman Posted October 29, 2018 Posted October 29, 2018 I like the Godzilla anime. Not terrific but worth watching. Quote
eXis10z Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) There's a color difference in the first suit compared to the manga's. More red at the thigh and upper chest area to match OG ultraman colors The manga is not bad if anyone wants to check it out. It's available in english. Edited October 30, 2018 by eXis10z Quote
Mazinger Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 But will the batteries run out after 3 minutes? Quote

They still manage to win every battle with a drained battery. Who knows? Maybe this time they're using Lithium Batteries. Quote

Dynaman Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 OK, I'm in. I'm surprised the trailer has no english dubbing or subtitling though. Maybe just my machine? Quote

There was no english subtitles nor an option of english audio in the video. I think the earlier trailer was posted by Netflix international while the latest one is posted by Netflix Japan. Maybe in a day or two we will see an english sub on the main Netflix YouTube account. Quote
eXis10z Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) The same trailer as posted above but with English subtitles. Looks like it's following the manga closely which has some unexpected twists. Edited March 6, 2019 by eXis10z Quote
eXis10z Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Less than 2 weeks to go! April is going to be awesome with this, GOT and Avengers EG Quote
RavenHawk Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 I have no experience with Ultraman at all... but dang if all of the artwork above in this thread isn't absolutely gorgeous! Quote
Dynaman Posted April 2, 2019 Posted April 2, 2019 I watched the first episode last night and was favorably impressed. It really does follow the first series only. The english VA are good and the animation style works well - the modern computer style but fluid and better cell shading then most of them have. Spoiler Only real complaint was the original Ultraman not remembering he was Ultraman for all of ten minutes. What was the point? Perhaps future episodes will fill that in. Quote
Bolt Posted April 2, 2019 Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) I watched the first two episodes last night. Really liking what I’m seeing. I couldn't figure out the' hidden content' option here, but i got the feeling some details made sense.. Edited April 2, 2019 by Bolt Quote
