An appearance is an appearance. My point though, is that Tsuburaya themselves doesn't make the distinction between animation and live-action when it comes to Jonias and the Ultra Force.

Okay. Well, let's get back to talking about the upcoming movie & series.

There's animated Ultraman series?

I think there's two.

There's The Ultraman, produced by the same studio that did Gundam:

There's also a Hanna Barbera animated Ultraman USA:

In a bit of a surprise crunchyroll just released the entire Ultraman Gaia series.

I hope all the Ultra series are subbed from CrunchyRoll someday.

Meanwhile anyone know if there are better versions of subs for the original UltraMan series? The ones I'm watching I can see the scan lines in lol, it's not a big deal I was just wondering if there were like DVD or Blu-Ray versions in existence.

If you want the best quality, you'll likely have to import the most recent Japanese BD release of the series.

Due to the Chaiyo legal shenanigans surrounding the first six Ultra series, there probably won't be any better quality releases of the original series in the U.S.

!!!!!!

When I cancelled my Crunchyroll Premium membership I said that I'd resubscribe when they got more Ultraman. I didn't think I'd be resubscribing 3 weeks later...

But man, that's awesome.
