Mirror Knight is an update to the classic 1972 series Mirrorman, Glenfire is an update to Fireman of 1973, and Jean-Bot is an update to Jumborg Ace also from 1973. Later on Jean-Killer (Jean-Nine), who becomes Jean-Bots bother, is introduced in the Killer the Beat Star films. He's an homage to Jumborg 9 also from the Jumborg Ace TV series. The same guy while either piloting his cessna or driving his car could transform them into Ace or 9 depending on which one he was in, and pilot them into battle. Very quirky old character with very awesome modern updates.

The two Zero movies kinda reintroduced Ultraman to me.
I remembered as a kid, i would have my mom record Ultraman jack from the TV via VHS because I had to go to school during the time slot - 5pm. after that I never bothered about Ultraman until I saw the Mega Monster Movie featuring Zero. That got me back into Ultraman BIG time and I started looking up and reading the mythology and history. I am now hooked and enjoying every second indulging in the Ultraman series. I have seen Nexus, Mebius, jack, Ace, Taro, Ultraman, seven, powered, jonias and loved them all. Just started Tiga and once that is done, Dyna and Gaia next. In addition, the Ultra act figs are mostly well made. This is an additional bonus for me as a toy collector. Cheers to more Ultraman in the future. |

Downloaded The Adventures Of Ultraman from tokuzilla last night, the US dubbed version of The Ultraman anime. I thought this was a feature length special, but this seemed too short -- trying to find a running length for this movie but with no luck. I guess I will watch it tonight; I think I still have it on VHS from back in the day so I can compare them.
Going to grab Ultraman: The Adventure Begins (AKA Ultraman USA) tonight; this stuff will make good content for the podcast.

Just got up to Tiga 13. So far the plot itself hasn't gone very far overall, things tend to be rather episodic. But this was a pretty enjoyable out of the ordinary episode. Seeing as Tiga fought in human sized form for the majority of his fight. It was actually kind of odd to see an Ultra down to that size fighting goons for so long. But cool at the same time.
In the back of my head I'm still wondering where Golza went in episode 1 and when he'll appear again. And when will the Killie show back up? For a world that knew nothing of monsters or aliens to suddenly have daily encounters with them, these people are calm as hell ![]()

Zero's Strenght! Dyna's Detemrnination! Cosmos's Heart! Together, the ultimate Ultraman: SAGA!
Let's dive into: -Ultraman Saga- That was different, unlike Legends or Revenge which were large space odysseys, Saga is a smaller story that is more character centric, but it worked nicely. Taiga was a very different host from the other ones I know, but he turned out to be great, he an Zero are quite different so they were a fun duo. Asuka didn't do much honestly, we are told that he's a great guy but without watching Dyna an knowing his backstory he comes across as quite plain, I liked him it's just that I don't know him. Musashi, man Musashi, I loved the guy, he's a very unique Ultra, kind to the core and a pacifist at heart, when I first heard about Cosmos I expected his kindness to be overbearing, but it worked nicely here, he's a cool guy. I felt his pain when Bat blew up the monsters. The supporting cast was ok, not bad, not memorable either. Overall a good movie, it wasn't aming to surpass Revenge or Legends, it simply wanted to tell a good story, and it succeeded. On another note, can anybody tell me if Ultraman Cosmos is fully subbed, it's not listed on the "Other Toku Fansubs" thread, but there are some episodes floating in youtube, and I found links that claim to contain the series fully subbed. So I'm kinda lost right now. |

Though it looks like most of the torrents themselves don't have seeders, it was apparently subbed at one point

I think all you're finding are Hong Kong subs. I have never heard of legit subs for Cosmos, certainly nothing that would have covered the longest of any Ultraman series.
