Crunchyroll to stream Ultraman Max

I never really got into this show in particular but the show had a very likeable camp factor to it from what I remember.

That's weird! I mean, it's cool, but it's weird!

Looks like I am going to have to look into Crunchyroll. Because more Ultra is always a good thing!

Just a head's up: Max will go live on Crunchyroll at 6pm tonight (CDT). It looks like it will initially be available only to subscribers, then to free users at some point in the near future.

Ultraman Max is live! Free users can watch the first eight episodes free and get eight more a week through November, while Premium users can watch the entire thing now.

Max never got consideration for Let's Watch Wednesdays because previously it was never available fully subtitled, but I would have pushed it every single voting period if I could. Now that it's all available immediately, I hope many of you guys give it a watch.

Completely agreed. I've never seen the last 7 episodes, but what I have seen was absolutely amazing and I cannot recommend it highly enough. It's a really fun show with a great cast, awesome suits, and engaging stories. It also has one of the funniest episodes of any single tokusatsu I've ever seen.

Indeed! I watched the first episode last night and was suitably impressed with both the show as well as the presentation from Crunchyroll. The free service is ad supported but not bad at all. Considering that CR also has a few anime series I am interested in -- including Dai-Shogun, the modern Gaiking series, and Slam Dunk, which I had been watching on Crackle -- I may shell out for the premium account.

One issue -- the name of the site really makes me crave some sushi. Mmmm sushi...
