Shame about Mr. Nakayama's passing. I haven't got around to 80 yet (since I was a wee lad), but it's sad to hear regardless.
Also, I caught the latest installment of Ultra Galaxy Fight. It's cool, just more of your typical CG Ultra-action, plus we get an evil palette-swap of Zero (which I didn't think was necessary given Darklops Zero, but alright). I can't complain too much since we got Geed Solid Burning too, which is my favorite alt-form of the NG Ultras, but honestly I'm just waiting for the story to jump back to Ribut. |

Ultraman Orb and Geed bluray collections just arrived. They look great. I really like that they also come with the streaming codes for the moviespree.com site, so I can watch the blurays at home, or stream the shows on my phone when I'm away. So far Ultraman, Ultra Q, Ultraman Orb and Ultraman Geed collections have all come with the streaming codes. They're a pretty great deal I think. Really excited to have Geed on bluray, he's one of my favorite Ultras.
...also.... MOA!! |

It looks like the transfers for Ultraman 1966 are iffy. From what I was told, Mill Creek was given older transfers and not the same one from the Japanese Blu-Rays. I still want to get this set though.

It's a good set. It looks better than the dvds or harddrive copies i have.
And Ultra Q looks shockingly good for such an old B&W show |

I know not many people really cared since it's just basically a recap show, but I wonder what is the next Chronicle series will be?
Not that they are important but these series are meant to fill in the Ultraman timeslot while we're waiting on a proper Ultra series. I'd love for the next Ultra series to be longer than 25 episodes but that'll mean they'll have to sacrifice the quality a bit. Then again 25 episodes are extremely plenty. And while we're at it let's speculate yet again what gimmick they will use next. I think Tsuburaya wanted to use something else than Legacy Ultras, and R/B was criticized for relying on past Ultras even though they ultimately had nothing to do with the actual story.

I don't speak Japanese so I can't watch properly but I've watched a few clips of Chronicle and they clearly put some effort in. Given that Booska got a turn, not sure anyone would surprise me now. I dunno, Snake Darkness and a random talking Pigmon?
I wouldn't mind a completely independent gimmick. Spark Dolls, Cyber Cards, Ultra Fusion Cards, Ultra Capsules, R/B crystals and Taiga keys/bracelets/rings all use old Ultra and/or kaiju powers. It's kind of cool but they absolutely don't need to do it every time. Ginga billed itself as an anniversary series and Taiga goes heavier than normal on continuity but otherwise it is a little superfluous. While I enjoyed both, it is kind of weird we had two different Ultras who fused previous Ultras. R/B is kind of the worst offender as those absolutely could have just been elemental powers. They could still sell Legend Ultra ones as toy exclusives if they insist. |

I like the Kamen Rider toys (henshin belts) and own a couple, but I never really got the urge for Ultraman stuff. I have about 10 Ultra Vinyls and I plan on getting a couple SHF Ultras, but that's about it.
Wanted to get the Geed Riser but after watching reviews, unlike the Rider belts that actually mimic what happens on the show, the Geed Riser really doesn't. If it lit up with 2 colored DNA coils and made that heartbeat (thumpa/thumpa) sound like we see on the show, I'd want to get it because it would be an actual replica. But it doesn't make the sounds, and the light effect is really weak and lame, it's just a light at the bottom of the coil, it doesn't light up the two colored strands like the show. Pretty disappointing. |

I would like them to take a risk, but it would really be divisive and potential franchise killer if they didn't. But if it weren't for Ryuki being so different Kamen Rider would've stayed Karate Bugmen for years (not that that's a bad thing, the opposite actually, but we'll never get the likes of Gaim and Ghost). Then again it would be freaking awesome if next Ultraman would be ghost themed or something. Personally I want them to have another cyber theme, like X but fully digital, and since SSSS Gridman is a huge success it wouldn't be impossible if they didn't want to try and make another cyber-themed Ultra.

Moa is best girl indeed. I love Geed (as my PFP and handle might imply), it’s the series that brought me back to the franchise as a whole, and I think it’s still the strongest of the NG Ultra shows.
Speaking of the NG Ultras, the new episode of Galaxy Fight dropped. As hinted, we got the spotlight on Zero here with all the Ultras using their Zero-inspired forms while his awesome theme played in the B/G. Also, Ribut’s finally back! And also Tregear...who feels a little overused to me now? Anyway, yeah I would like a different gimmick for the next Ultraman, preferably one that doesn’t rely on past Ultras but tries to build its own mythology. Maybe something more along the lines of Tiga/Gaia, Nexus. |
