Nice to see a retrospective on the ultraman franchise. It is one of my childhood series that I somewhere in time I got disconnected to it. but recently got jumpstarted with Gridman. I loved Dyna, Nexus and Ginga. please make a retrospective on Nexus. I've heard there's a lot of drama happened during productions.
Fun fact : The weird-looking snail-eyed alien that serve as the team's scientist comes from Mebius. And the production crew originally wanted him to speak in his own language like in Mebius, but the director doesn't want to since audience won't understand. This trait would get carried over to another character of same species in Ultraman Taiga.
I love Ultraman and I share a similar opinion. In my opinion X is fine, nothing special, but not bad either. It's kind of forgettable because unlike a show like R/B or Nexus, the characters feel very simple and forgettable outside of their focus episodes. The action is great, but dang the overall story is basically non-existent. I still love this franchise and its history, and even though it's ok, I personally still proudly recognise X and Daichi as a nice aspect of this legacy. It was X that got me to pick up new Generation Ultraman after I had thought I grown out of it, so I can at least thank it for that.
Oh..that rugby kaiju episode was my fav and the first time i watch Ultraman X. Ultraman have being a thing in my life as a kid. Back when i was a kid, my parent realize i can begin to talking by mimic the words from cartoon. So they buy a lot of dvd and most of the dvd are Ultraman dyna with other Ultraman series with one dvd each.
Just watched this show my first Ultraman experience besides the recent manga/anime can’t wait to watch more would love if you did more reviews on Ultraman.
First off thanks for your honest retrospective for Ultraman X, but he is my fave Ultra to date, and not just for the design, but because my fave moments were in the Ginga & Victory 2 parter and in the Movie (which I wish he had more to say about, but oh well). That said the series and its movie will soon be available this year by Mill Creek for you US Ultra peeps, so look forward to it.
I wanna say this was my first official ultraman. I watched the anime on Netflix, not knowing much, when I downloaded vrv I watched this show because of the cool name, and I liked the uniform from the characters, and I enjoyed this season. This season will always have a special place in my heart of being my first ultraman
Even when the Color timer is warning them they are in danger and they can die, the Ultraman never gives up and fights till the end, that's what i love about Ultraman.
I have been waiting for an Ultraman video from you and here I am. also if you are interested to make on any more ultraman retrospective, here are a few I recommend. - Ultraman Mebius - Ultraman Tiga - Ultraman Cosmos - Ultraman Cosmos the first contact (prequal to the main series that is REALLY good.) - Ultra Galaxy (the first real Ultraman media that properly established its own universe) - Ultraman Dyna (direct sequal to Tiga) - ULTRAMAN (Netflix anime) - Superiour Ultra 8 brothers - Ultraman Mebius and the Ultra brothers Ultraman has their own set of universes, The one I always loved is the Giant universe. heres it in order - Ultraman Tiga Revival of the ancient giant - Ultraman Tiga - Ultraman tiga the final oddesy - Ultraman Dyna - Ultraman Dyna and Ultraman tiga warrior of the star of light (takes place at some point in Ultraman dyna) - Ultraman Gaia - Ultraman Gaia battle in hyperspace. also if you decide to actually make any retrospective of any Ultra series, Dont worry about spoilers, many of what I said can be seen on youtube. Enjoy:)
I haven’t really seen this series outside of his crossovers with other Ultras. Mostly because I’ve seen the two shows either side of it and they impressed me a bit too much to get into this so quickly. If I had to pick a favourite Kaiju, I’d have to say King Pandon.
I havent been into Ultraman for as long as Rider, Sentai or Rangers, but I think it's become my new favourite tokusatsu show! Part of why I enjoy this series so much is that it's just much, _easier_ to watch, if that makes sense? Basically with Serialised shows you have all these different plot threads that extend through the entire length of the series, so if the story starts to slow down then that can drag the rest of the show with it, but because most Ultra shows are episodic, even if one episode is bad, there'll probably be a better episode down the line. As I said, I still enjoy Rider and Sentai and all that, but Ultraman has really been hitting the spot for me for that reason. As for favourite Kaiju... Gotta go with Galactron, it looks like if Revenge of the Fallen Devastator was designed by Renaissance artists!
I'd have to say one of my favorites is gargorgon, she's like Ultraman's answer to king Ghidorah. Both are planet wiping, psychopathic, reptilian aliens with three heads, and roots firmly planted in Greek mythology.
My favourite monster is Zetton. It’s one of the strongest monsters in the franchise. Its design is unique with a longicorn beetle-like appearance and shiny yellow lights on its chest and face. Its roar-zetton, zetton, zetton sounds like it is repeating its name. It’s titled The Space Dinosaur which means it's such a powerful monster in space just like the dinosaurs on Earth. It has both a powerful brutal force and versatile fighting tactics to overpower its enemies and dominate over enemies’ movement. Its special abilities involve a 1 trillion-degree fireball, a 360-degree covered shield that is rugged enough to block all types of physical and light beam attacks, instant teleportation, as well as absorbing and reflecting the enemy's beam attack. The original Zetton is well known for being the first monster to kill an Ultraman in battle. The Hyper Zetton, the enhanced version of Zetton is the most powerful monster in the entire franchise, it's capable of fighting Ultraman Saga-one of the four mysterious ultras into a tie. If without falling into the human defence team’s trick at the final moment, Saga would stand very little chance of defeating it. The Planet Repression Weapon Zetton made an incredible appearance in Shin Ultraman, it's a satellite weapon summoned by Zoffy to destroy planets which is deemed a threat to the Land Of Light. Zoffy was in fear that humanity with the ability to turn into giants would disrupt the galaxy’s order. The Shin Ultraman stands for no change in a direct fight with it. It's latterly destroyed by using The Beta Capsule to create a black hole and suck it into another dimension. Other versions of Zetton made appearances in other series including Mechanic Zetton in Ultraman Powered, Hyper Zetton Deathlugger in Ultraman Orb and The Space’s Horrible Monster Man Zett in Ultra Galaxy Fight The Absolute Conspiracy. Due to Zetton’s strong Brutal force and powerful special abilities, all Ultras battle with it have to engage in a cruel fight. It's an elite-class monster that takes exertion of tremendous energy and profound experience over multiple battles to defeat it.
My favourites are definitely Nexus , Zero and Mebius . Especially Nexus because it's unique compared to other ultraman series . For example , the ultraman's host changes , looking at the story on a third person perspective , the ideology of different host and villains .
Good entry points are the original series, Tiga, Mebius, and Orb. If you don't have much time, Orb is only 25 episodes. If you like it, there's also the Origin Saga, the movie, and Ultra Fight Orb.
I’d also recommend Ultraman Geed. One of the best new generation Ultra series featuring the iconic rivalry between our golden boy Ultraman Zero (be sure to check out his proper debut movie, too) and his nemesis Belial. It also dives more into the surface of the Ultra series lore without the need of background knowledge (or you can just watch episode 0 for some background info, totally optional).
I've been trying to find that Marching like "Badadum" theme from X for a while. Since I can't find M-13 or M-14 on RUclips, I'm guessing they've been taken down. It's my favorite OST in the entire show, so that's a bummer. If anyone's got a link to it, please let me know.
My favorite's probably either Zegan from Ultraman Geed, Maga-Basser from Ultraman Orb (my personal favorite season), or Kamisori Demaaga from Ultraman R/B.
Ultraman Mebius, the fairy tail of Ultraman would say good character development, comedy, storytelling, a few meme and also heartwarming scene Fun fact Mebius is an anniversary season of Ultraman, so it contain lot of returning actor from showa era and also, Ultraman Mebius universe is canon to the showa series
I finished watching Ultraman X a couple of weeks ago, and my thoughts of it are pretty much the same: it looks great, but by the end of the day it is forgettable. I had my dun watching it, but when all is said and done, I probably won't remember again this show existed. One thing that kinda bothers me from this show is that the color timer doesn't matter at all, and throughout the show it didn't affect anything even once. My knowledge of Ultra series is very limited, and if it wasn't for both seasons of Ginga that I watched before, I probably wouldn't even know what does the red blinking light means.
I love all toku, pretty much equally,,,,but I gotta say, once you really breathe the Ultraman air, nothing ever seems quite as cool. Hint: daikaiju make a difference!
I was never a fan of the recent Ultras that has gimmicky shaped color timers (V, X, Z, Orb, Geed), it looked silly on their chests and comes off unnatural
This was the first " Proper " ultra series after they go bankrupt, hence why Ginga was a mix of SoL and Ginga S was modest. So for me X get a pass for being basic, because it's TsuPro trying to get on their footing again.
Has anyone realise that everything in ultraman sounds cooler in Japanese and sounds dumb in English and about X, once you’ve watched a bunch of ultraman, the good special effects and sets and beauty become normal so whenever I watch ultraman, how good the show is depends on the story and characters rather than the special effects so I often try to watch it again but it never works out since X’s story is pretty weak and I couldn’t care less about the characters most of the time and I would much rather watch a show like Gaia, Orb or mebius
Honestly I really recommend tiga because in my opinion he was like the kuuga of the ultra universe in terms of how the show was presented
How about Ultraman powered it's got all the the original Ultra Kaiju that the previous Ultraman fought
I recommend Ultraman Mebius, one of the Best ultra series with Great ending
@@rookie5552 powered has the worst fight scene ever
I recommend dyna
Ultraman has been my childhood................. that’s all I can say. I loved it as a kid and still love it to this day
Been 2 years+ since I became a loyal viewer of your toku retrospectives. My only way to connect with my inner love for kaiju-type shows ;_;
Never so fast have I clicked for Marcos
I recommend Geed, it has one of the best main ultras, amazing cast, and the best suits out of any ultra series.
@Jeffery Tang shut the **** up

I loved Dyna, Nexus and Ginga. please make a retrospective on Nexus. I've heard there's a lot of drama happened during productions.
Would you ever look into Ultraman Mebius? It's like the best Ultraman series that had the anniversary for all the showa Ultraman.
Fun fact : The weird-looking snail-eyed alien that serve as the team's scientist comes from Mebius. And the production crew originally wanted him to speak in his own language like in Mebius, but the director doesn't want to since audience won't understand.
This trait would get carried over to another character of same species in Ultraman Taiga.
@Jeffery Tang aaaaand they replaced him with Jun Fukuyama (Lelouch in Code Grass).
@Jeffery Tang actually...mirai actor himself decided to retire himself because he dont like working with his agency.
@@GozetaZero wait, I though he retired because he doesn't like the fact people only know him as mebius
@@Kepin151 nope. He just have a dissagreement with his agency that he decided to quit after a while
You straight up really need to get to Mebius, it's like X but more, tons more
Funny that you post this only a few days after I finish watching X. So it's still fresh in my mind.
The music at 6:42 is a reference to an older music piece from Return of Ultraman and Ultraman Ace

This is my first exposure to Ultraman thanks for introducing me to this great series.
I can’t wait for you to do History of Orb
Just watched this show my first Ultraman experience besides the recent manga/anime can’t wait to watch more would love if you did more reviews on Ultraman.

Hey, Marcos. If you're up for more Ultraman, I really do recommend Mebius. It's kind of an anniversary show or some sort.
If I was an Ultraman host, I would most likely force him to go straight to the strongest finisher each time. I want the battle to go by really quick.
I wanna say this was my first official ultraman. I watched the anime on Netflix, not knowing much, when I downloaded vrv I watched this show because of the cool name, and I liked the uniform from the characters, and I enjoyed this season. This season will always have a special place in my heart of being my first ultraman
As little as my Ultraman knowledge is, I can safely say I freakin' love Orb.
YES!!! PLEASE MAKE MORE ULTRAMAN VIDEOS!!
@Jeffery Tang please stop with that arrogant blabbermouth ultra. His bad attitude is the new trait for later wimpy ultramen generation
Even when the Color timer is warning them they are in danger and they can die, the Ultraman never gives up and fights till the end, that's what i love about Ultraman.
I have been waiting for an Ultraman video from you and here I am.
also if you are interested to make on any more ultraman retrospective, here are a few I recommend.
- Ultraman Mebius
- Ultraman Tiga
- Ultraman Cosmos
- Ultraman Cosmos the first contact (prequal to the main series that is REALLY good.)
- Ultra Galaxy (the first real Ultraman media that properly established its own universe)
- Ultraman Dyna (direct sequal to Tiga)
- ULTRAMAN (Netflix anime)
- Superiour Ultra 8 brothers
- Ultraman Mebius and the Ultra brothers
Ultraman has their own set of universes, The one I always loved is the Giant universe.
heres it in order
- Ultraman Tiga Revival of the ancient giant
- Ultraman Tiga
- Ultraman tiga the final oddesy
- Ultraman Dyna
- Ultraman Dyna and Ultraman tiga warrior of the star of light (takes place at some point in Ultraman dyna)
- Ultraman Gaia

also if you decide to actually make any retrospective of any Ultra series, Dont worry about spoilers, many of what I said can be seen on youtube. Enjoy:)
You might as well have written down the whole wiki
@@Marcosatsu relax the showa stufff aint here
Can't wait to see more videos my friend 💪😁!

U have a wife
3:26 Just like in Megaman X where Zero also hijack the show.
Only watched Orb and Geed, but Nova is the best Kaiju from those, for sure!
that vocal like song is I think a reminiscence from Ultraman Jack. Battle Theme 2
Have you ever try to watch Ultraman Ribut? It come with English and Japaness sub from their offical channel
I recommend Ultraman Nexus, its the ultraman that made me aware of ultraman's existance.
ULTRAMAN COSMOS IS A MUST !!!

Usually your pattern is if its short you don't like it. However, you seem to like it a lot.
I’ve been interested in watching Ultraman but I don’t feel like it
I tried with Ultraman R / B but couldn't get into it after the third episode
Good entry points are the original series, Tiga, Mebius, and Orb. If you don't have much time, Orb is only 25 episodes. If you like it, there's also the Origin Saga, the movie, and Ultra Fight Orb.
UkiyaSenpai I watched an episode of Orb and didn’t like the fighting
@@crackerjack0349 It's just an episode. Give it a few more eps.
I’d also recommend Ultraman Geed.

It also dives more into the surface of the Ultra series lore without the need of background knowledge (or you can just watch episode 0 for some background info, totally optional).

We need an introduction to Ultraman because I have no idea where to start
deka W Nexus.
Mebius, Orb, and Gaia
The only Ultraman Kaiju I know of is either Belial or any character that’s a remolded Godzilla.
Voyager really reminds me of JAM project. It’s like Voyager is the pg version of JAM. The energy is there, but not as much as JAM imo
yea , you should look into the insane movie cross overs its how i got into ultra-man love the series
How do you watch sentai and rider shows?
Ultraman Mebius, the fairy tail of Ultraman would say
good character development, comedy, storytelling, a few meme and also heartwarming scene
Fun fact Mebius is an anniversary season of Ultraman, so it contain lot of returning actor from showa era
and also, Ultraman Mebius universe is canon to the showa series
What anniversary show was he referencing with the random Z? It’s currently July 2020 and I doubt he’s talking about ultraman Z
KR ZI-O. (sorry forgot how to spell his name)
As I Malaysian,I was born with ultraman.
Here here
Pretty much my life...
I really hope Tsubaraya productions produces some Kamen Rider episodes.
My favorite Kaiju's are in no particular order: Gomora, Baltan, Gan Q, and Galactroin.
Will you be watching/reviewing the Netflix CGI Ultraman
Or SSSS Gridman
hey what happened to your examinations of the gaim and ryuki opening videos?
Can you post the PR2021 live-streams
Is it only me or dose the ear pieces kinda look like head phones
So far Mebius, Zero, Orb, and Geed are my favorites Ultras. My current favorite Kaiju is Galactron from Orb
