The dub is pretty good but I was not really digging Ultraman Z's voice. I know he is supposed to come off as the young apprentice of Zero but its a little too 'cool 90s hero' when I was expecting more calm and stoic alien.

There's also plenty of room to alter his lines considering his lips don't move.

Honestly Z himself was the one I'm warming up to the least.

He just sounds way more serious and stiff than Tasuku Hatanaka did. Like lacking the youthful enthusiasm and energy that I normally associate with Z.

It's a fine voice and performance in and of itself, and might fit another Ultra well, but it doesn't really sound like Z to me.

Honesty Zeno Robinson feels like he would've been better as Z going off his Haruki performance.

Although I might just be remembering more how Z was in later episodes than in the premier.

I'm currently watching the English dub version of Ultraman Z's very first episode and I'm already liking what I'm seeing.

EDIT: And it looks like I will be watching this version of the series with great interest.

I don’t know, I’ve never tried watching a dub like this is new to me and I found the experience kind of weird. The script and performances were good, but I definitely felt some disconnect between the video and the voices. May keep watching, though, because Z is a really fun ride that’s worth going on again.

Unrelated, but I thought Taro was supposed to be up yesterday. The announcement implied that it would start streaming this week but it’s not there yet.

It is!

It is not. They region locked it.

I just finished watching the English dubbed version of the third episode of Ultraman Z and I'm seriously loving Haruki as this show's Ultra human host. Zeno Robinson did a great job voicing the character.

Totally agreed!

Quick reminder that tomorrow, we're getting the reveal of the next Ultraman

I know, and I'm very excited!
