yes I've been watching it on ps4 as well.
It's a fantastic collection. It's so good I ordered Ultra Q, Ultra Seven, and Ultraman Geed collections. Sadly Geed doesn't come out for another couple weeks and Seven comes out the second week of December. Ultra Q is coming tomorrow though and I'm super excited. I've wanted to watch that show for years. |

Anyone else been following along with Ultraman Taiga now that Genm Corps is back to working on it? They just release episode 16 today, two episodes this week in fact, and it was really great seeing the entire cast work together to bring Hiroki and Taiga back together. Taiga's new power up is fine I suppose but it continues to baffle me as to why they felt the need to give him two upgrades while Titas and Fuma get nothing. I mean, I guess you could argue that Tri-Strium is a kind of a fusion between the three of them but it feels less like an Ultraman Reube situation and more like an Ultraman Orb situation. Did R/B Slugger not sell very well or something? Other then that though I really enjoyed the episode.

I have to go back and watch R/B. After the high of Geed which I absolutely loved, I tried watching R/B and after a few episodes I put it on the back burner.
It wasn't bad but Geed is in my top Five I liked it so much, so probably nothing directly following it would've compared for me at the time. Just bought the Geed and Orb boxsets that come out this month and am looking forward to watching Geed again, and checking out Orb. Always heard good things about Orb but still haven't seen it yet. ...I hope they make a boxset of Ultraman Max |

Episode 14 and 15 of Taiga is by far the darkest episodes of the NG Ultramen. Though my complaint is that Taro has yet to react to everything that's happening with Taiga. He'll likely appears in the final episodes though.

And idk if they're popular enough in Japan, but if Titas and Fuma does, we might get Ultra Fight with the two obtaining new forms.

... Did anyone hear that? That was the sound of Fish Sandwich twitching in agony without realizing why. He'll soon find out For real though, R/B is okay. I really like the first episodes because of Aizen, that nut job is so enjoyable to watch. But after he’s "leaving"... well, I quite like Mitsurugi Saki as character, but I couldn’t get into R/B as a show anymore. Maybe it was because at that point the weekly subs stopped happening and I got too fed up with waiting and moved on in my mind. Quote:

And I gotta say: Among all the great things to witness in Taiga, my absolute favorite is Tregear. They tried to create a new recurring villain like Belial, and they made the best one yet IMO. He's phenomenal. Like, so incredibly evil in such a unique way for this franchise. He doesn't care about having the biggest army, he doesn't need to sit on a throne, he breaks the minds of sentient beings for enjoyment. He lurks in the shadows, manipulating everyone until they slaughter one another. Why simply rule a universe when you can dominate it for fun? Plus, now that we have a rough idea of his initial goal on Earth? Tainting Taiga to pit him against his father so Tregear can get a good laugh out of Taro being murdered by his own son... jesus, that’s terrible. I kind of wish he had a bit more of a chance against Tristrium, but on the other hand: Now he’s finally being called out once more. He has a new goal, a new mind to break. Poor Hiroyuki. Also, this guy had an "Ode an die Freude"-scene, so you know he’s in a villains hobby club with freakin' Evolto. Episode 15 was the Tregear episode and it was great. Episode 16 was the comeback episode for the good guys, and it was also very good. Now: I really, really like the idea behind Taiga Tristrium. Hiroyuki officially joining the Tri-Squad, how the bonds forged a new form in which all members are present, the beautiful rise-sequence were all of their poses are incorporated, the way they reached Taiga through the monster fight and then dropped Hiroyuki like a bomb into Taiga's color timer But... I dislike the Tristrium suit and weapon. The suit isn't bad, but there's nothing really cool about it IMO. Photon Earth was neat with the armor and such, this looks rather generic. And the sword - yeah that’s the first time I'm saying it, this looks way too much like a toy. I was fine with the Orbcalibur, but this is not working for me as a weapon at all. It's rather sad that none of the power-up forms really do anything for me, but oh well, I have Taiga, Titus and Fuma, and all three are fantastic, that’s good enough for me.

Anyway, the show has been utterly fantastic as always. I didn't expect them to take the angle that Tregear was trying to turn Taiga into a junkie, but I'm extremely happy they did. It kept the plot from feeling like a repeat of Orb's own arc about falling into darkness, and simply on its own merits was super well done. Lots of great little touches in that two-parter, also, from Tregear calling Taro "Number 6", to Titas and Fuma doing the preview narration at the end of episode 15, and Hiroyuki calling back to Taiga's speech before he transformed in the premiere, a golden opportunity I was prepared to be legitimately upset about if they passed it up. Not sure where the decision came from to suddenly introduce subtitles for the monster names, though, or that new shot in all the stock footage (even retroactively inserted into the recap episode's old clips!) that seems to serve no purpose other than to remind you the Taiga Spark is wireless. That's really the only thing I can even kind of nitpick about this show right now, though. And on the other hand, I love the new ending theme, so it all works out!

Has anyone found the movies of Orb and Geed movies at Wal-Mart yet? The person at my local Wal-Mart was like "WTF is Ultraman?" and the other guy was like "Do you mean Iron Man?".

The problem with Tri-Strium is that it felt like the a super form instead of final form. And the fact that it is majorly red which is the main color of Ultra. If you look closely, most of the NG Ultramen's final forms have a few reds with the exception of Ginga Strium. It's not bad, in fact it's really beautiful, but kinda looks bland as a final form.
Btw I'm going to watch Max soon. He's lowkey the most underrated Heisei Ultraman (which is why it's a huge surprise that he gets a guest appearance in X). It's a shame that he doesn't appear in Mebius though (heard that Max's M78 is an alternate one like Neos or something). And speaking of underrated, it's kind of funny how Neos becomes the main Ultra for a tourism commercial and a music video.

Double post, but yeah I have watched the first episode of Max, in the TOKU dub. The dub is actually.......... pretty good. It's much better than the current Ultra Galaxy Fight dubs that's for sure. Or maybe it just reminded me of watching those dubbed Godzilla movies :P
The only thing that annoyed me about the TOKU dub since it's completely a dub that means there's not edits on the show, and thus all the texts are in Japanese and as a result whenever an episode title or monster name appears the just announced it instead of changing the text to English.
