Oh man, I would've told you about The☆Ultraman if I knew you didn't know about it! Really fun little show. Considering you just got done raving about Voltron, I think it would interest you to hear it's essentially a standard Ultraman series that also mixes in heavy dashes of space opera anime flavoring on occasion. Seems like something you might really get into!

Yeah, it led to a brief revival of interest that resulted in Ultraman 80, which promptly ended the interest by falling into the same retool-induced pitfalls as Kamen Rider Super-1. After that, all the franchise turned out were foreign produced spin-offs until Ultraman Tiga came and revived interest fully enough for the franchise to still be going strong today.

Yep it was a joint production between Tsuburaya and Hanna Barabara and it came out in the U.S first in english the movie was called Ultraman: The Adventure Begins. Here the movie in stunning Blu-Ray.
And was later brought over to Japan with a dub and renamed as Ultraman USA. Sadly the show was never made you can read more on this blog

U40, the only place where togas are still the cool thing to wear.

Like, holy crap, this was a surprisingly good watch! The animation, the voice acting, the atmosphere, I was totally hooked all throughout! No joke, I thought this was way better than anything that Netflix Ultraman had to offer, and I would've loved to have seen this turned into a full on TV series. I'm not really sure what else to say other than, if you haven't watched it for yourself yet, it's a smooth hour long pilot that's a ton of fun. 4/6

Also! While it's gonna be a bit before I do another show, as I am currently busy with my LP as well as some other side projects, I decided to compile a list of shows to be potentially covered in the future:
Ones I've seen:
Ones I haven't seen:
Keep in mind that while I am aware of other major players, for example, Gatchaman, that show is like 100+ episodes long and I unfortunately don't have that sort of patience. Also, I'm sad to say that me watching SSSS.Dynazenon is gonna have to wait a while, as apparently it's merely only getting a SimulCast and not a SimulDub like how Gridman did. And yes, I specifically wanna see the eventual dub version for consistency. As always, if there's any show you all wish to have covered first, say so! If not, I'll just use a randomizer as per usual when the time comes.

The☆Ultraman Part 2 Episode 26-50
Captain Akiyama leaves the show after episode 26 and is replaced. The episode in question looking under the context as Akiyama swan song isn’t that great considering the fact inexplicably he and Mutsumi are left out of the action and spent most of the episode in the base not in the field. But regardless, let's talk about the man who replaces him Gondo Daisuke who noticeably is a stark contrast to his predecessor, more stern, and open he brings a different energy to the show and the dynamic to the characters. Being seen to be harsh at first but seen as an irreplaceable ally by the end of his debut. Plus he has cool sunglasses and wears a jacket over his uniform so that’s cool. The last 10 episodes bring forth the main villain faction that takes center stage the Heller Empire. Heller can be considered a prototype to the Dark Ultra’s Belgian and Tregear years down the line. As the titular Heller was once an Ultra person who forsakes his transformation to gain immortality and was banished from U40 amassed a large following into an empire and now has conquered his homeland. And I do like them as the central antagonist for the last 10 episodes giving the show a focus it didn’t have before. To show how serious the new threat is to Maddock the signature vehicle of the Science Guard Party was destroyed however an ancient Ultra ship called the Ultria was found and given to the SGP as a gift from the Ultra in this new fight against Heller. Fish Sandwich described the show being a Space Opera and nowhere is this more apparent in the show finale which has politics, space battles, and siege for U40. However, now we're going to have to talk about the quality of the subs. As many have gotten better understanding TokuHD is pretty terrible thanks to their laughable and depressing “translations” for Agito and Faiz sadly this also the case for this show and Ultraman Cosmos Gridman, and Mirrorman. Now while you can watch the show and understand everything that happens this “quality” should not be excused just because this is an official release. I only tolerate this because it is the only option and this is an excellent show. All four of these shows also don’t have any other alternatives too as nobody has even fansubbed any of these shows. With Shirakura promising to look into them, hopefully, Tsuburaya catches the wind and all three of these shows get better treatment than they so deserve. Overall The☆Ultraman is an amazing show with classic animation, innovative stories, and ideas that later parts of the franchise would also do. Such as the mentor relationship between the host and Ultra, visiting the homeworld of the Ultra, and being disconnected from the Showa universe. I highly recommend though be wary of the subs and please, hope this and the other two shows (Cosmos, Gridman, and Mirrorman) will get higher quality releases for future releases. (I can take some comfort over the fact that Mill Creek has the rights to Gridman and Cosmos so hopefully they don’t just rip TokuHD “work” as they did with the Gridman streams”)

Honestly that post makes the show sound like something that I'd be totally down for. Will definitely keep it on the list of shows to check out!

Yo DreamSword, here is a show that might tickle your fancy.
It is strictly a Transformers show, but can't ignore the tokusatsu-ness of it especially when you got Dagwon on the list.
