Ultraman Discussion Thread

I feel like Dyna never gets the love it deserves, although I guess we did see some of that during Decker...

Happy to see Ultraman Z placing so high! I really enjoyed that series.

7: Ultraman Nexus
6: Ultraman Taro
5: Ultraman Mebius
3: Ultraman/Ultraman Tiga
2: Ultraman Z
1: Ultraseven.

I feel like Max is at least 11 spots too low, but I can't complain about any of those
(especially Cosmos, which I haven't seen).

I'm seeing reports that yes, this teaser was at the end of the Decker movie, so it is legit.

So I've seen the movie... and I very much enjoyed it. Just like, not getting too into spoilers but like...

There's a weird (but by no means bad) almost classic feel to it when comparing it to the rest of the New Generation Ultra Movies. The others in the past were very much a crossover of sorts, or usually pushed that to the forefront. Here we get a nice extra adventure and epilogue for Ultraman Decker and that's about it. It's very focused in what it wants to do and I really enjoy that.

So unless the Geed, R/B, or Taiga Movies do anything to blow me away when I get to them... this might just be my favorite of the New Gen Movies.

Also yes, can confirm, the teaser for the new Ultra is definitely from the end of the movie.

Heya folks, I wanna watch Ultraman Ace cause the character has caught my attention in discussion and cause of his relationship with Z. Is it worth the watch compared to the other showa ultras?

Kurona · 02-23-2023, 12:41 PM

I do actually like the Geed and R/B movies a fair bit more than the other New Gen movies, think they have a bit more heart to them; so I think you might just find something there! Very glad to hear the Decker movie seems good in any case :]

Of Showa Ultra... I feel the original trilogy (Ultra Q, Ultraman, Ultraseven) is the one that's most worth the watch. Of the shows that came after those... I haven't seen Leo and 80, so right now I would say Ace is my favourite out of it, Return and Taro. I've heard Leo is absolutely CRAZY though. But if you're looking into it specifically for Ace's characterisation I don't think you'll find a lot there

I think the only New Gen Movie I didn't really enjoy was Orb's just because Orb himself gets beat up for most of the movie and Orb Trinity felt like a step-down from Orb Origin compared to other New Gen Movie Forms.

That's good to hear.

Geed will be easy since well, I've seen Geed already I just never watched his movie. R/B though I'll have to go through the series first since the only New Gen Series I've yet to see are R/B and Taiga.

Hoping to try and wrap up all the New Generation stuff before Blazar starts up this year.

yeah I'm of the same opinion
Orb Origin is a hard act to follow though

R/B would actually be my favorite because I've always resonated with somewhat aimless characters, and there are some good lines in there.
