no3Ljm Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) Shin Ultraman (Summer 2021) https://shin-ultraman.jp/ https://twitter.com/shin_ultraman From Polygon: While the recent Godzilla vs. Kong trailer may have sated kaiju fans’ hunger for computer-generated monsters beating the stuffing out of each other, one thing it was light on was the panicked, excruciatingly bureaucratic response of the Japanese government — the very thing that made 2016’s satirical monster movie Shin Godzilla so memorable. Good news: The chief creators behind Shin Godzilla, Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi, have teamed up for another kaiju-battlin’ movie, Shin Ultraman, based on the classic tokusatsu superhero. And it appears that Anno and Higuchi are approaching Ultraman in a similar fashion, based on a brief teaser trailer released Thursday. The trailer shows a kaiju attack on Japan, namely from Ultraman nemeses Neronga and Gabora. Science Special Search-Party (SSSP), an organization that investigates and responds to alien and kaiju threats, immediately launches a heavily militarized response. Only at the end does our big boy Ultraman appear, towering over power lines. Shin Ultraman was announced in 2019. The film was planned and written by Hideaki Anno, the creator of Neon Genesis Evangelion and co-director of Shin Godzilla. Anno’s co-director on Shin Godzilla, Shinji Higuchi, is the primary director on Shin Ultraman, and frequent collaborator Shiro Sagisu is composing the film’s soundtrack. Shin Ultraman is slated to hit Japanese movie theaters this summer. Edited April 15, 2022 by no3Ljm Quote
TangledThorns Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 So in addition to my Godzilla/Pacific Rim crossover fantasy I'd like to add Ultraman too please Quote
Tking22 Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 I had no idea this was a thing, but I'm totally in, Shin Godzilla was fantastic! That Ultraman design is quite classic, I like it, definitely not the big redesign Godzilla got in his Shin movie. Quote
mikeszekely Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 I mean, I'm in, I wanna watch it. But what happened to the Ultraman anime? Quote

mikeszekely Posted April 16, 2022 Posted April 16, 2022 For some reason when I saw this thread I thought it was about a new season of the anime. When I realized it's not I was disappointed. Then I realized the new season is already out. Then I felt better After that I realized that this is possibly set in the same universe as Shin Godzilla. Now I'm back to disappointed that I have to wait another month for Shin Ultraman. What a rollercoaster five minutes... Quote

On the other hand, we do have a separate thread for the Netflix Ultraman Series. Quote

Dynaman Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 Looking forward to this to get a subbed or dubbed release. Now all they need to do is remake the Giant Robots show. Quote
