Re: Video interview series with NEXUS staff

I'm sure we will cover Cosmos on the show at some point, although there are no solid plans at the moment. We would like to continue doing at least one big multi-part roundtable interview per year (in additional to our regular shows), and will probably continue to spotlight Ultraman 10th anniversarie...

Re: MEGA MONSTER BATTLE: ULTRA GALAXY LEGENDS

It's a whole franchise, so it depends what you're talking about. It began as a card-based video game series entitled MEGA MONSTER BATTLE: ULTRA MONSTERS (Daikaiju Batoru ULTRA MONSTERS), which has now had several spin-offs. It was then adapted into a 13-part TV series in 2007 called ULTRA GALAXY: ME...

I was just in Japan at the time and was invited along. Only just made it; flew home 3 or 4 days later.

Re: Some crappy photos

No problem. I mean, I've been wanting to share them. They've just been sitting on my computer. But I couldn't post them at the time since studios are kind of strict over what info is released while they're promoting a new show, and I don't really want to rub anyone the wrong way. I have one shot of ...

Some crappy photos

I didn't want to post any of these at the time for fear of having ass sued, but I figure now the show is about two years old and TPC are only interested in raping the ULTRA GALAXY franchise... http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f188/ultranexus/sevenx/1.jpg This is the table where I "acted"....

Re: Rescue Fire is not a Sentai ripoff

I don't watch RESCUE FIRE or SENTAI, but similarities between these kind of shows aren't anything mind blowing. Just look at all the shows that were coming out during the henshin boom of the 1970s; almost all of them would take elements from other popular series and put their own spin on it. I mean,...

Re: MEGA MONSTER BATTLE: ULTRA GALAXY LEGENDS

Interesting that their their saying this Belial is the first villainous Ultra in the history of the franchise, I guess their Retconning all those Dark Ultra's in the Tigaverse along with with the ones in Nexus. To be honest, I think Tsuburaya are just being really anal about their definition of &qu...
