Now watching Ultraman X and in doing so I couldn't help but feel something was familiar about it. And sure enough it turned out to be directed by Taguchi as his first Ultra series.

Not much to share here, but it's still mildly interesting. Hideaki Anno shared his love of Taro and select episodes from the series. He also noted that he was one of the few amongst his immediate friends and acquaintances back in the day who even cared about shows like Taro. |

So, I've been trying to grasp all of the strange spinoff material Ultraman has recently and caught wind of Ultraman Retsuden and the other "recap" series. But... I just don't understand! Do these have like... interesting production details included in the narration, or is it all just a glorified clip show with a tenuous plot? Why are there so many episodes of these shows? Are they any good? Had anyone bothered to sub any of them?

There here to fill in the time slot since Ultraman can't do 50 episode shows anymore. But if they don't put something there they'll lose it and it would be a pain to find somewhere else to air Ultraman in Japan when they already carved their little own place.
They use to be related to what the next show was going to be IE Zero The Chronicle aired in between Orb & Geed & Zero himself was a major character in Geed. Or TDG clipshows before Trigger & Decker came out. But ever since Blazar it seems like the franchise is becomibg less legacy oriented that no longer the case and it just generic clipshows based off the most recent stuff of the New Gen Ultra's.

Vallaron the Space Bomber Kaiju! And fittingly he's like some alien Kaiju terrorist who is going to BLOW UP THE FRICKIN' MOON!!!
Earth Garon Mod 4! Earth Garon's Final Form! It has all of it's upgrades included and is ready for space battle! It can even seat four members of SKaRD! The only problem is that it's basically being rushed into completion and it's basically a suicide mission, but that's not going to stop SKaRD! So Blazar not doing anything is their take on the Ultra telling the Host they can't keep transforming anymore. Ah yes, the classic "do what you want to do before the final battle" moments...Anri running to classical music, Yasunobu with his one true love washer, and Teruaki checking in on his dad. Retsu looks so weird out of uniform, but he still knows how to command Gento to take care of Emi. Of course Gento has one last dinner with his family before heading off. Satoko puts on the face of a brave wife but on some level knows just how much danger her husband is really in. Who knew all they had to do was ask Earthy for the plot relevant information!? Though it helps that Earthy has learned the power of friendship! Dang, they caught Emi quicker than I expected. She just unlocked the dang thing too! Dobashi walking into the command room like he's Ryubei Sonozaki...which he is, but seriously what is this dude about!? Poor Earth Garon is only fighting Vallaron for two minutes and he gets blown up for his trouble. Jeez. "Let's go...Blazar" That's pretty much as close as the show gets to the classic "yell out your Ultra Name" transformation and I'm fine with that. I didn't think it was so bad that the Color Timer would immediately kick in the moment Gento transformed. And that's before Blazar has to contend with Vallaron's bombs, saw torso, and multi-lasers. It's all Blazar can do to get Earth Garon out of there, set the moon into orbit, and de-fuse with Gento before shutting down. And did we mention Vallaron absorbing his energy to transform into an even fierce form? So...things aren't looking good. Emi is in custody, Vallaron is heading to Earth (and will obviously arrive), an invasion force is on its way, Earth Garon is damaged, Gento and Blazar have de-fused and Blazar is now floating helplessly in space. Quite the cliffhanger to lead into the finale! |

Boy, what a weighty penultimate episode...
The brief callbacks to the other members lives before the operation (Anri jogging with music, Teruaki's and Gento's family, Yasunobu with the Washing Machine), even getting to see Retsu again, who I'm starting to wonder if he's going to turn out to be the surprise hero seeing as he managed to recover Emi's father's journal. It's quite interesting that our "villains" all seem to have humanity's interest in mind in terms of surviving, but they really don't want people learning more than they should, so it'll be curious to see what that's all about. And Valloran has a Gigan Buzzsaw! That's neat. Also, it would appear that not only Gento, but Blazar as well suffered in continuous transformations, leading to a reverse sequence of Gento trying to save Blazar. This show knew what it was doing! Next Episode: The Final Battle with the Bomber Boy from Beyond!
