Ultraman Taiga is now fully subbed via Genm Corp!
That makes me so happy; I will spend the rest of the weekend watching it. |

I can’t upload a picture, but they’ve announced and revealed a P-Bandai exclusive action figure set based on the first episode of Ultraman Tiga. It included Tiga, Tiga - Sky Type, Melba, Golza and the three statues in the Land of Light.

Taiga Episode 22 - this one was... I can’t quite find a word for it. The entire episode felt like something ripped straight out of a Showa series, in a good way. The plot couldn’t be simpler, but it is done so beautifully well.
The music seems different too, which only adds to the experience. I'm a sucker for episodes featuring good monsters and this one is no different, but still - that eerie feeling this episode gives of at times, combined with the happy team-up at the end feels very old school and charming overall. Seems a high contrast to the next episode - because Ultraman Zero is back! |

Dude.......... Taiga episode 18. Tsuburaya should really won an award for their amazing set pieces. And even more bonus points for having civilians in those set pieces! And wow, Kirisaki is getting even better, love his obsession with making Hiroyuki suffer. I just love how he targets Hiroyuki specifically because if it weren't for Hiroyuki, Tri-Strium won't exist and Tregear won't be defeated.
And episode 19. Seriously the EGIS squad are one of the best supporting characters since Geed. I really, really love how Kana gave a pep talk to Hiroyuki. And holy shit Gorothunder, this monster is ridiculous, and they know how ridiculous he is and went all the way with it. Having Titas fight him most of the time is even better. The biggest surprise? Gorothunder is actually an all-new kaiju! His design is very showa-y and I think Tsuburaya took a look at Bro Thor from Endgame and decided to make a Kaiju out of it. Hilariously awesome. UPDATE: Episode 21 is a masterpiece. Taiga is basically a series that deals with racism and foreigners under the guise of xenophobia, which is pretty amazing considering this is Japan, the country known for being strictly conservative. Hell, I feel like Osamu and the alien's relationship felt like a 9/11 aesop. Seriously though seeing the alien in pain is very heartbreaking, and it's awesome how she forgave Osamu in the end. Too bad Osamu is just a guest, he would be a good EIGIS member.

I grabbed both batches of Genm's Taiga subs yesterday so I'll give the series a full shake here in the near future.
In the meantime, I've been watching Ultraseven since I got the blu-ray set for Christmas. I'm still on disc one, but I'm enjoying it so far. I just want to say that oh man, did they make a decision for dubbing over the voice of the woman who got murdered by the Alien Quraso in episode seven. |

Of note, I do have the Ultraman Orb set and finally watched the Movie, which has a rather random appearance from Ultraseven due to the Movie being released around the 50th Anniversary of Ultraseven according to the included and very detailed pamphlet that puts SHOUT! to shame! However, the Orb Movie did leave me with a question about the ending when Zero tells Gai about a new kaiju threat and we see what looks like a new form, which appears to have accents of Orb, Zero, and Seven. Did this continue in another special? |

I don't have the Ultraseven set, but I'm curious as to why they would alter it like that! A subtitled set shouldn't have a dub-over unless there was an adequate reason for it.

Did this continue in another special? Who knows maybe future Ultra series will finally bring Desastro to screen. Hell, maybe the upcoming Taiga movie is about NG Ultramen fighting Desastro! It is unlikely but who knows.

Wait, I thought the end of the Orb movie was just teasing Emerium Slugger and Ultra Fight Orb. I am forgetting something here?

The actress wasn't dubbed into English. She was a white actress that seemed to be dubbed into Japanese, but with a ridiculously high-pitched voice that sounded like she'd been sucking helium.
