Ultraman and the Ultraman Franchise - Let's sperg and talk about Ultraman and his franchise!

[Godzilla@1989]

I've notice Ultraman nor his franchise hardly has a thread here, so I wanted to have a thread were we can discuss about the franchise and what not.

So have fun with it!

I'll also try to post any news or leaks regarding the current shows. Though with the movie it'll be difficult since I haven't heard if Taiga will get its own movie yet or not.

 

[REGENDarySumanai]

I only have the 1975 Ultraman film, and I need to watch it.

Was that the one with that Thailand company involved, the one that got into a stupid legal war with Tsuburaya?

 

[Travoltron]

Yes, what's the current legal status of the Ultraman series? For a long time, that Thai con artist had the international rights. I refused to buy any domestic Ultraman DVDs because all the profits would go to him and so I pirated instead.
Has that mess been straightened out? I'd like to buy the Blu-ray, but only if the profits go to Tsuburaya and not a dime goes to Chaiyo.

I think Tsuburaya won a lawsuit against Chaiyo in 2017. Now Tsuburaya is teaming up with Mill Creek to release the franchise on Blu-Ray in North America.

Going to have to get that. I've heard a lot of things about Ultraman but never got into it. Hideaki Anno (Maker of the mindfuck, Evangelion) is making Shin Ultraman. No idea as to when it'll come out.

 

[ThePurpleProse]

Well if you faggots are into Ultraman, I found a channel on Dlive that have an "Ultramanly Moonday".

A lot of it are very cool. There's no order of what to watch so you can watch whatever.

As for Shin Ultraman, it comes out in 2021.

Sweet! Though I have no blu-ray devices, I can get an external drive.

On recent trip to visit a friend, he showed me this trailer.

Best monster boi comin' through

 

[Recoil]

I'm obsessed with the models in old kaiju sets. I especially love those little tanks that move around and fire.
Where's a good place to see some closeups and read about the techniques employed?

 

[WarJams]

Redman did nothing wrong.

Shit that's tough, you're gonna have to find show pictures of the Showa era (Ultra Q-80). There's a wiki dedicated to Ultraman. It's right here.

Wow, that movie looks very bad in a cheesy way. It's worth noting that the Ultraseven suit was used in this movie since he couldn't transform again in Ultraman Leo.

Speaking of Leo, you guys should check out Episode 6, starting at 17:42 it is funny as fuck.

He a good boy who dindu nuffin...

Imagine if this is how Leo trained Zero to make him the Ultra he is today XD

He did made Zero wear some kind of armor that restrain his movement.

 

[Cuatro Vaginas]

I remember Leo being one of the darkest Ultra series tho. I didn't know Shin Ultraman was a thing til I read it here, fucking awesome cause I loved Shin Gojira. But I must say that THE NEXT was already the Shin Ultraman of the franchise, I gotta watch Nexus since I read so many good things about it.
