These past couple months, I've been watching some Ultra Q! It's been... uh...
interesting?
It's just a
bit
to strange that I feel like my mind's being melted every second I watch of it; with character decisions and plot beats that despite the leeway I give it due to what I feel is a sub-par set of subtitles, are just a bit too odd for me to get into. Still, when something lands it lands; going off of Fish Sandwich's little review of Ultraman there, the special effects pioneering is
fantastic
to see. So many great props and set design; and so much wanton destruction of them that had to have been costly! In this episode - 13, Garadama - you've got the destruction of a dam causing so much water to sweep through reams of land and villages, and it's not the first something like that has happened in the show!
In this scene I want to highlight here? It's just a really cute one and one of my favourites in the season so far. The professor's actor carries it with such a kind, gentle yet excited energy that makes it clear it's a subject he loves personally and loves to explain; and it's a great way to illustrate to kids how vast our universe is and helping to expand their minds to think on those terms. It might be hard to imagine kids not realising space is big, but this was 1966 -- it hadn't been very long since Earth had made its first voyages into space, so while I'm hardly an expect here on the general knowledge Japanese kids in the 60s had; I could certainly see it being a thing that shows like this would have to open their minds to. Just a really nice, down-to-earth scene despite the subject!
