Supposedly its coming to Amazon Prime in the West, but I highly doubt they'll do anything with the show until its finished in Japan.

Does anyone know why Gai calls Ultraman Belial, Belial-san while he calls Zoffy just by his name? I'm still new to Ultraman but I'm pretty sure Belial is one of the few evil Ultras while Zoffy's a good guy. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Orb is getting an Ultra Fight spin off starting April 15th for about 8 episodes, each 3 minutes each. It will feature Emerium Slugger and Lighting Attacker which were previously game-exclusive forms up to this point.

Interesting. I wonder if they're going to upload English subs of this.

Hooray for more Orb. It's cool that they're making new costumes for this.

The bad guy (Reibatosu? Ravertoss? Raybertos?) makes me think of a monster version of Ultraman Agul.

Finally got around to finishing Orb. A very good series as a whole, the beginning was a bit weird but things more than picked up around the Thunder Breaster arc. The practical models were amazing and I just loved the sense of scale they were able to portray with the monster fights and the regular humans watching. Hopefully I can get to see Orb Origin at some point.

Ultra Fight Orb is shaping up to be something.

Whether that something is good or bad, only April 15th can tell.

Is that the movie?

It's a mini series. 8 episodes, each around 3 minutes.

Wait, so this is different from Amazon's mini series?

Think something more along the lines of those youtube shorts Toei does for Kamen Rider and Super Sentai these day. You known, Kyuranger's Henshin Training Videos or Kamen Rider Ex-Aid's Virtual Operations.

?_? What shorts?

Shorts like this one.

God, just give Zero his own show already.

This should be fun. Ultra Fight Victory was fun for what it was.

Interesting, I had not seen that before. Why hasn't OT been subbing them?

I'm not sure. Tv-Nihon's usually the only guys that translate small, extra stuff like this though. They translated all five of those.

The first episode of Ultra fight Orb.(Though it's at the end)

Tv-Nihon has releases english subs for the first episode of Ultra Orb Fight.

So I powered through Orb and I have no regrets. I'm a touch and go Ultraman viewer. I watched Tiga years ago and loved it but all the other series aside from the Ultraman Zero movies had me interested.

This was really a great tokusatsu series. I really want to watch the Origin Series to understand the backstory between Gai and Juggler.

Also love how..humanized a lot of the Aliens and monsters come off. Tarude for example was a pretty cool character...his...old school design non-withstanding.

I was able to track down some Orb Origin English Subs! I've already watch the first three episodes of the show and, given the length of it, I've decided to make a weekend out of it and watch the whole thing between today and Sunday. Also, TV-Nihon have completed Ultra Orb Fight and are planning doing the movie when it comes out so that'll be fun.

As for my thoughts on the Origin Saga so far, I enjoy it. It was kind of confusing in the first episode given that not only did they just kind of throw you into things, they also jumped around a lot, but by the end of the third episode they've connected the stories in way that shows that there was a reason they were doing it.

I've got to say, I love watching Gai and Juggler interact with one another. Its funny seeing Jugglar constantly chew Gai out for making reckless decisions only to watch as Gai completely ignores his warnings the instant he believes somebody might be in danger, forcing Juggler to follow him.

Well~ there was that one show that showed him go Guardians Of The Galaxy with his alien giant hero friends.

Did anyone post this already? I thought that this pretty was pretty sweet.

Oh man, that's cool. Would've loved to be there.

It's good to hear that Orb was well received, it's definitely deserved.

It'll be real interesting to see how Orb's popularity effects the series going forward. I didn't realize it at the time, because I hadn't seen that many Ultraman shows when I first started Orb, but Orb was really different then a typical Ultraman show and it not only lack a lot of elements common to Ultraman, the lack of a true attack team being one of the more notable, but it also handled it story quite differently. Namely, ya know, actually having a story.
