I can't for the life of me wrap my head around the whole 3rd / 4th Rider-thing, so that list won't happen, but Ultraman I can do!
I don't really vibe with the whole "hate/worst"-thing though, so I cut those and added more useful options instead. And since "duo" can mean either people or Ultra, I get two picks. |

Clever. May whip up something if I feel like it.
But with how busy I am, that'll all depend...

About the Shin Ultraman subs on the home media release, apparently they are sending out fixed copies to retailers right now, and you can mail them through the link below with a proof of ownership, what version you bought and your address and they will send you a new disk.
support@cleopatrarecords.zendesk.com Which is all fine and dandy, but I freaking imported that DVD from Amazon US, its en route right now. I asked them if they will send a replacement overseas. My guess? "No, and screw you specifically. Good day". Although I read that some people got theirs from Amazon already and the subs were fine? Hope I got lucky. Quote:
I'm still astonished about how much I adore OG Ultraman. Many older shows are bound to their era, and Ultraman is no exception, but for some reason I enjoyed it way more than other shows of its time period. The characters were a huge part of that. Cap is the perfect leader, calm, kind, charismatic, but strict. Will whip you into shape without mercy, because he cares about you and wants you to be okay out there, and hug you when you most need it. And Ide? Love that goofball. So much fun. The episode where he screws up royally and beats himself up over it is so good, it's the classic "get up after the fall"-message, but done very well. Last edited by Kiwami; 07-14-2023 at 11:19 AM.. |

Blazar fishes a Kaiju with his beam. Officially the best show and Ultraman.
No joke, I lost it when he turned his spear of light into a fishing pole, I love this show already. The Opening is nice, probably going to love it after a few more episodes. We got the formation of SKaRD, which had some cute moments with the cast's short notice reactions, along with a tour of the new base and armory. While it's only in its early stages, I think the cast already has quite a bit of promise, and I'm excited to see Earth Garon in action! Also, love the "wilco!" and Gento's "Walt Disney" policy. Still love how Blazar's trail as he flies off is asymmetrical, and the Rise Sequence was really neat how the colors appear during it. And boy, that one Captain Ahab guy was fun despite what little he does, and the underwater scenes are amazing. Love the feel they're going with this show. Next Episode: "Mechagodzilla. Beat Godzilla to death."

Kind of makes sense that a Captain for a protagonist would have to focus on his relationship with the brass, in this instance Retsu Haruno who has high expectations for Gento in a very stoic and efficient manner and wants to rush in a new squad to deal more effectively with Kaiju...and thus SKaRD is born. And it seems like they'll be dealing with bureaucracy as much as they are Kaiju.
Did Gento connect to Blazar from his home planet? The OP is pretty epic, with very Z-style cast introductions, and I like the use of social media to introduce the Kaiju and aliens. Emi is very lively, sociable, and cute when off the clock. Also seems like she's connected to Haruno? Her and Gento fighting over the check was cute. Teruaki seems like a solid vice-captain, nerve-wracked and prone to yelling as he is. Anri feels like if Yoko and Asuna fused together with a dash of mechanical skills. The hardest part about recruiting SKaRD was getting their signatures! If I had a nickel for every time a legendary Sea Kaiju that fishermen knew about starts acting up, I would actually have a lot of nickels. I love how even the crew are underwhelmed by the van, though it did get a bit upgraded. "In my squad we go by first names and nicknames. This isn't some Showa Attack Team where we all go by our last name." And he really does just walk off until she calls him by his first name. From the realistic guns of GUTS-Select to giant honking machine guns SKaRD. Poor Anri not sure whether they go by "Wilco" when responding to an order. Fisherwoman Emi! If this was a Showa Ultra show, that fisherman probably would have been able to get his spear through Gedos' back. So the Blazar medal activates when it knows Gento needs to transform? Kind of funny how Gento took a minute to remember how he did it, I thought it was going to grab his hand again. First Rise Sequence! You can see the color lines being added to Blazar mid-sequence. Attack Team earning their usefulness by damaging Gedos' headwhip so Blazar could free himself! The Spiral Burrade became a fishing rod!? Wow. Second fight and the color timer didn't kick in. Earth Garon and Bando have arrived! Though now Gento basically has to compete with himself because his group has to defeat Kaiju before he does as Blazar. |

Simulcasting the latest Ultraman series with English dubs is absolutely incredible!
You really have to hand it to Tsuburaya for the continued support of their franchise.

Ultraman Blazar episode 2 is now my all-time favorite toku episode of the year and possibly of my life.
Freakin' fishing and skewered kaiju?!!!! I mean, let's not forget that Urataros did something similar back in the days, but Blazar went to his hype amp and set the volume to 11. I LOVE IT!!!!!!
