You know what I think works for this movie? That ambiguously Showa vibe they have going on. It has the Batman TAS effect where it feels retro but modern at the same time. Did you get that when watching it?

Oh yeah, absolutely.

I also liked how it was also clear that the animation style was inspired by Spider-Verse, but unlike alot of other imitators I've seen, they actually realized what made it work, and worked it into their own style that fit the movie.

And Yuuki Yamada aka Gokai Blue was the perfect choice for Ken in the Japanese dub. Not only was the man's dad all about baseball having played for the Dragons and the Carps and later moving on to coach both teams until 2021, but his voice well-suited Ken.

Is it because 'Man' should always be depicted as a giant and because it's cooler to see Ichigo enlarge himself?

The second part of that last sentence is admittedly true!

I assume it just worked better, seeing Ultraman shrink down wouldn?t be much of a surprise given that other Ultra did it already, but Rider 1 growing giant-size is unexpected and more fun.

Ultraman Rising is really good. I love how it turned out.

Plus it gave me this to listen to on repeat for the last week, freakin' awesome song.

And for me the visual of the cartoon reminded more of Despicable Me and other Ilumination cartoons.

I saw Ultraman: Rising right around the same day it was released on Netflix. It is a very solid movie albeit not without a few hiccups.

Anyway, I watched some more episodes of Ultraman R/B over the last few days. I now have only 2 episodes to go.

Having finished Blazar and Rising, is there any recommendations that people can give for me while I wait for Arc?

Z also has a dub on YouTube and it's a pretty popular entry.

I would recommend Orb.

The Ultraman shows that came to my mind in terms of recommendations are Ultraseven, Tiga, Mebius, Orb, Z, Geed, X and, to a somewhat lesser extent, the original Ultraman series and Max. Oh, and if you want to include movies into the mix, there’s The Superior 8 Ultra Brothers, Ultra Galaxy Legends, and Ultraman Zero: The Revenge of Belial. Other movies I would’ve recommended like Final Odyssey as well as X and Geed’s own films that take place after the events of their respective seasons but there’s a risk of potential spoilers if you watch them before jumping into these particular shows.
