Yusuke Kirishima of Nexus just learned that the series was cancelled all these years later! To be fair, no formal show cancellation was ever announced. |

It came to my attention that it's been 3 years since I entered the world of Ultraman with my start with Ultraman Z.

I am now up to episode 11 of Ultraman Max and I'm even currently a little more than halfway through Ultraman Taro. I also watched the first episode of Ultraman Blazar on a whim, both in Japanese and in English. Sadly, my order for the Ultraman Orb Blu-Ray series set from Amazon is currently delayed for some reason.

Blazar episode 1 was fun. It definitely is going a different route than the recent shows in terms of tone and the night mission scene felt like a teaspoon of Nexus and Ultraseven X was added. And Blazar's cries gave me Eva 01 vibes. Blazar's fighting style feels wild and unpredictable. Looking forward to how things unfold. Side note, anyone notice that Blazar's henshin device seems like it is using the same tech as Drive's belt or at least some of the components? Coincidence?

Unpopular opinion, but the first episode of Blazar kinda did nothing for me. I appreciate the unique setup and Blazar's characterization, but I zone out whenever an Ultra episode is 90% action. Hopefully things improve next episode when the story actually starts. I did like that they took a risk with making the fight a bit more violent than usual.

So Shin Ultraman came out on Blu-ray...and apparently they messed up the subtitles big time. Reviews indicate that not only is it dubtitles, but it looks like they must have accidentally included an earlier, unfinished version. I would recommend you hold off on buying it for now and wait for a potential fix (or at least wait for them to address what happened)

edit: here's an article: https://kaijuhometheatre.blogspot.co....html?spref=tw I put on the Shin Ultraman blu ray, and it’s definitely a mess. Can I just say “The main menu sucks” and not explain why? Like, if you get it, you will see. The subtitles on the blu ray appear to only have a deaf/hard-of-hearing track, and for the opening section with all the onscreen Japanese text, they did not bother to translate any of that. Maybe I missed selecting the proper track? If I did, I blame the awful menus. That text is translated on the Google play version though. Why did I buy the blu ray, if I already bought it on google play? To check out the dub, of course! The dub is fine on the blu ray, lol. If you want to just watch the dub and don?t care about on screen text, maybe the blu ray is good. I only checked out the first little bit, so maybe the blu ray screws up later, but I actually like the movie enough that I will rewatch it just to see how the dub is. Kind of wish they let Mill Creek handle this one. Last edited by Rabbitman; 07-12-2023 at 07:39 AM.. |

Not sure if I'll actually keep up with posting about Blazar, but I really enjoyed the first episode. I kind of wonder if it's maybe not a great indicator of what the overall show is like, but it comes off like they deliberately traded establishing the status quo in favor of establishing the broad tone, and just leaving a big impact, both of which I think it did a fantastic job of. Taguchi just doesn't miss, man. You can feel the eagerness to do crazy fun new things like always, and while you aren't getting the instant charm of Z or the effortless charisma of Orb here, what you do get is a fast paced premiere that never once lets up on the momentum.
I also quite liked how Blazar himself was portrayed. This franchise has always been about wrestling matches with big mean creatures, so it's actually a shockingly good fit to have the hero be some kind of jungle adventure story savage who'll just straight spend a whole fight yelling ROOOOOY at a monster. I wonder if that might lose anyone coming to this show for the hard SF angle, but personally, I found it extremely endearing. "Communication" is apparently a big theme for this show, and I appreciate how much effort was put in to make Blazar feel unknown and alien not simply to new viewers, but even to existing fans who have expectations about these their Ultramen. Everything from the way the first thing he does in battle is turn around and climb a building down to the off sound his Color Timer makes is so delightfully weird. I have no clue what this dude's deal is, but if a big part of the story is finding out, that honestly sounds super exciting?

In the spirit of everyone doing that Kamen Rider Template I found, I figured I’d try with this Ultraman template (note: I did not make the template. If I did, I’d have a “favourite monster/alien” category instead of “Best Captain Team”.
