    This is what I really like about kaiju films, Ultraman and to a lesser extend Sentai. The real sense of scale, weight and creative shots are what keep me interested ever since childhood.

    I have been loving Ultraman Taiga's fight scenes. All the shots from inside houses/businesses and such have always been so cool. Getting into Ultraman has been one of the best things to happen to me recently toku-wise. Such a great franchise.

    I feel like with Super Sentai they're scared of damaging those miniature sets. like they get them built and then do the minimal movements so they can shoot a bunch of different fights in a day without needing to keep resetting the set itself. It leads to lots of face off shots and torso wiggling while CGI effects do all the impacts. That Ryuusoulger fight from episode 1 though? That was rad as heck. Was nice seeing all that movement going on without it switching to a ropey CGI model of the mecha.

    I really liked the giant fights from LuPat, mostly because I feel it's the first Sentai in years to really use CG to push the giant fights over the top and the finishers always felt so satisfying to watch.
    I would be interested to hear what you thought about the weird quasi-giant fights from the mid-heisei era Kamen Rider's like in Den-O or Gaim.

    I always love the fights in Ultraman for the reasons you said, plus, they are more imaginative in the fights, it's not just punches or kicks being throw. Sometimes it's acrobatics, sometimes it is in the sky, sometimes it's humorous (like the beginning of R/B movie, where Ultraman Rosso is upside down with the head in a building.)
    Super Sentai is not that imaginative anymore.

    I forget which episode, I’d say it was around 12 of Ultraman Geed, in which they had Geed or Zero fighting in the background, and Laiha fighting on a roof in the foreground. That was probably the most impressive thing I’ve seen in tokusatsu so far.

    • @matnasrin3479

    Great video! when I first got into Ultraman it was crazy to see the difference in approach for the giant fight scenes in comparison to Sentai. Ultraman just absolutely does an amazing job in showing scale and impact. The first fight in Geed really stood out to me due to the camera work. There also a ton in R/B that did the same. It make me wish Sentai would finally step it up already. Kamihoriuchi's work in the four episodes he's done of Ryusoulger have been great but the other directors for the show haven't tried to adapt in order to match his approach.

    Can you do a follow-up video about really bad giant fights where they use CGI to replace everything? Like when Sentai decides to replace the the physical mecha with a CGI version in order to have it do crazy flips and movements that have no weight behind them. Sentai is incredibly guilty of this.

    I really wish Sentai took ques from Ultraman when it comes to giant fight scenes. They just always come off lifeless and not as big and grandiose as giant fights should be. Not helped when the majority of Sentai robos we've gotten in the last 10 years are so bulky in and blocky that they restrict movement for the suit actor. Leading to poor fight choreography. Doesn't help either that the Sentai robo is supposed to be the main action figure for kids to buy in terms of Sentai merch. And if the execution of how the robot fights is poorly done then no one will want it.

      @KKAkuoku 5 лет назад

      Save for a few early preview clips from Go-Busters (I never watched it) and that amazing mecha fight from the first episode of Ryuusolger, Sentai’s giant fights have always felt flat and stiff for me in terms of execution.
      Toei has always put their skill and craftsmanship into human-sized fights, to be sure, but they tend to come off as halfhearted when it comes to creating larger-scale effects.

    Super Sentai seems to have just gotten more and more static in recent years. You get occasional cases where some real effort is put in, but for the most part they seem pretty lack lustre and (like a lot of Toei's stuff these days) are far too often overreliant on just throwing cgi at the screen with no really thought or finesse.

Look if you want cool monsters and giant shit watch Ultraman, they are equally as corny and a ton more production effort(and budget because they doesn't have to share with their big brother kamen rider)

      You're absolutely right. Sentai (a team show) is constantly on focused on 1-2 Rangers, with the others being completely pointless; compare that to Build and holy crap does everyone feel important. Toei needs to take a step back and rethink their Sentai strategy, it's just not bringing anything new to the table and has gotten boring and stale. No credits dance or fancy looking mechs can help that.

    ultraman directing styles and techniques from 1996 to 2000s era were better than in most of today's new gen shows (like too much slomo and spastic manual camerashake is just annoying to watch; Bad camerawork, etc). like Kiyotaka taguchi's style is not fit for ultraman shows, most of the episodes that are directed by him don't have the aesthetic ultraman shows from before ginga had. but he's more fit for independent works or toho godzilla film.
    Camera shakes in ultraman before ginga were a simple, short but heavy transverse joint; now it's just too much shaking when unneeded and bad camera angles like the gopro shots from the ground
