Re: Ultraman Ginga 01 released
Once I got passed with the action figures, it was a pretty enjoyable watch. Poor Taro, he just wants to be big again. I wonder with him having a soul is preventing him from being restored.
We have done the darker Ultraman series: Nexus and UltraSeven X.

Re: Ultraman Ginga 01 released
This was fun. I'm gonna wait a couple of episodes, but I feel this is about equal to Ultraman - Towards the Future (Ultraman Great), which, back in the 90's, was what it was, an English speaking adventure show. Thankfully, Australia did that one. This means that I'll like Ginga a lot better than the FoxBox version of Tiga. (Omni, Omni, Omni! Power, Power, Power! Speed, Speed, Speed! *shudders*)

Re: Ultraman Ginga 01 released
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Americans can always use more Ultraman. Personally, I say screw Mebius.
Every forum has commented on the similarity of Ginga with Kamen Rider series, with points such as the lack of defense team, a close circle of secret keepers, and a generally different tone from others. Take the differences any way you like.
As per the first episode goes, the pacing is good. Lotta plot that waits to be explained, with plenty good action. Too bad they didn't build new suits for this suit except Ginga and the mysterious big bad.

Re: Ultraman Ginga 01 released
Yeah, the Ultraman right after Tiga (Dyna) actually went through a dimensional portal at the end of his series, but popped out on the other side in Showa+ continuity in the Ultra Galaxy movie. So he's crossed over for good. But Superior Ultra 8 Brothers was just a continuity & dimension pileup. But, still, poor Nexus (Noa) doesn't get brought in. (Or if he did in that one it was for like, 3 seconds). Still, once you start acknowledging parallel universes like they have, all bets are off.zeta_gundam wrote:Also, we see Tiga in the flashback scene. Tiga's from a different universe from Taro, but he's shown fighting alongside the Showa Ultramen... Wait, now I'm confused. One thing that irks me about modern day Ultraman shows is that they are trying very hard to merge the "Showa" and "Heisei" Ultramen together. It's making continuity really confusing.
Anybody got some Ultra Tylenol?

Re: Ultraman Ginga 01 released
But the continuity issue with the multiple ultra universe was explained in Ultraman Saga no? There are multiple dimensions with different ultramans, all the showa ultraman, mebius and zero came from the same universe while the other heisei ultraman comes from different universes... I'm still not sure if tiga, dyna and gaia exists in the same universe though... And then there's ultraman Noa who has a statue in the ultraman planet but comes from a different universe or is it just because he can travel in multiverse? Ultraman is more confusing than riders...

Re: Ultraman Ginga 01 released
Yeah, I know about the multiverse issue in Saga, but... what about here? It's like one same universe where all the Ultras are fighting together... Maybe all the different Ultras came together to fight in this universe or something...

Re: Ultraman Ginga 01 released
Man I've fallen behind on my Ultra, watching this just today reminded me that I've only seen all of Ultraseven X.
Nice first episode for this very anniversary feeling series.
... Not to put myself in a villain's shoes but, stopping your truck and staring is likely the calmest and most reasonable response to seeing Alien Valkie dancing in the middle of road. Me I'd gone with stepping on the gas and not letting go till the Jaws of life are needed.

Re: Ultraman Ginga 01 released
This looks like fun.
This is the first Ultraman show I've seen, so we'll see how that works out. Ginga's design is pretty cool.
Are Ultramen always giant?
I'm interested enough to keep watching; though as someone said, the plot is a bit simpler than other toku that I'm used to (so far anyway).

Re: Ultraman Ginga 01 released
Ultra Seven would sometimes be normal sized but not sure about some of the others.

Re: Ultraman Ginga 01 released
Tiga was human sized in some episodes too. Can't recall if Dyna did the same thing.

Re: Ultraman Ginga 01 released
I don't remember Dyna acting in human size. I think Ultraman Zero can also change to human size though
