Fun fact, after Geed she retired and married the suit actor of Geed who later did suit acting for Rosso and currently Taiga. Also the same suit actor who did Victory, X, and Orb.

I like the original ultraman, 80, Max, Mebius, .. but yeah the Geed series is my favorite of the new ones. The characters, actors, and story are just too good.
Liaha is really pretty and powerful, but yea Moa is best girl. Salaryman is absolutely perfect casting too, he does a fantastic job switching back and forth. The camera work, effects, sets and costumes are all fantastic too. It's pretty much the perfect ultraman show |

But yes, Geed is indeed my favorite, though all of the NG Ultra shows have been very enjoyable. Speaking of, I'm going into withdrawal without new Taiga episodes. But S/O to Genm Corp for continuing to translate them, here's hoping we get a new batch soon. I'm also slowly working my way through Tiga, but I'm finding it's not catching my attention much. I did notice that to my surprise, that it feels a LOT like a Showa Ultra show. Compared to Kamen Rider, where there's a pretty clear tonal/creative demarcation between Showa and Heisei (RX and Kuuga for instance feel nothing alike), Tiga wouldn't feel out of place in the Showa era at all, whether we're talking action, music, plotting etc. |

So Zena is basically the Seiji Takaiwa of Ultraman.

With the Mill Creek Releases and the forthcoming Marvel collaboration, we are seeing a fairly interesting "Ultra Series/Ultraman Renaissance" in the West! Not bad at all.
That being said, what about a facet that hasn't really been addressed: what about the Ultraman Series on Crunchyroll!? Mill Creek and MovieSpree require money to view, and while good sales of the Blu-ray are necessary for Mill Creek to continue, Crunchyroll doesn't actually require an account to view. Orb and Geed are, currently, the common denominator available on both Crunchyroll and MovieSpree, but the latter is costly! Someone may be interested in looking at Ultraman and Crunchyroll is a sufficient, free-with-ads, and official option if you are too afraid to commit to a Blu-ray set you may or may not enjoy! Is the Age of Ultraman on Crunchyroll to end soon!? |

I mean the bluray set for Geed was like $20. that's nothing,.. that's only a little bit more than a movie ticket. And you get all the episodes plus the movie on disk, and you also get to stream them on moviespree to your phone/pc/tablet.
For me it's a no brainer. I have terabytes of Toku on external harddrives, but I want actual official collections to own. If nothing else because I want to support the craftsmen and artists who create this stuff. For me part of having a collection isn't just toys and figures, it's owning the media too. I really wish I could get Kamen Rider on disk. Or stuff like Akibaranger as a collection. I hate only having it on harddrives. (plus of course I have double backups for the harddrives so if one breaks at least I don't lose my entire toku collection. So really I have 3 harddrives that are all mirrors of each other. I'd rather just own all the disks as an actual collection instead of a collection of harddrives.) Crunchyroll is ok but I'd rather have a collection than a subscription to a service that could disappear one day. |

I'm excited for Marvel to announce the creative teams for any of their Ultraman projects, too. Would love to see Alex Ross paint some gorgeous covers too. Between Marvel Ultraman, Anno's Shin Ultraman, and official English releases from Mill Creek, it's a great time to be an Ultra-fan. |

Here in Malaysia, I just assume it's automatically a pirated release if it says "MALAY, CHINESE, ENGLISH SUBTITLES!" on the cover.

I think OG and New Generation are the ones getting the focus, and there's a huge chance Ultraman will be in 616 universe given how Conan the Barbarian is canon as well.
