Ok first of all Ultraman has never been a yearly series like say sentai. There might be some spurts where there might be 3 or 4 shows in a row then there be nothing for a while. Second, tokusatsu, not really all that big over here in the states. Most of the american public, no matter the series, just look at the sets and rubber monsters and go "Oh it's just Power Rangers", so Ultraman not having his own forum section is not that surprising. And honestly, Ultraman, despite being one of the first, Is not really all that popular compared to sentai and kamen Rider, especially over here. And considering Tysubura's financial condition last I heard, these shorter series do sort of work in their favor n a way.They can keep the Ultra brand fresh and in the minds of the general public, plus theydon't have to commit to a 39-50 plus episode series. Not counting the two co-productions, one with Australia with Ultraman Toward the future aka Ultraman Great and with a Us company Ultramab the Ultimate Hero/ Ultraman Powered, both lasted 13 episodes for various reasons.

What I'm trying to say is Ultraman is going to be fine, he's a national Icon over there. He's not going to go away forever, they may let it rest for a while but he will be back.
