...So what kind of budget do they have?

Post by CeronosLive »

I keep hearing that the budget for this series is pretty low, but I'm having a hard time finding the exact answer on this subject.


Is the budget low? Is it low compared to other entries in the Ultraman series? What about compared to other series like Super Sentai and Kamen Rider?


I'd appreciate if someone would help enlighten me on the subject. D:

People say it must do based on the fact that they have one setting (school) and all the props are the DX toy versions.

Like anything else though, I assume its just speculation. Nobody I've seen has been able to find concrete figures.

I can't find concrete figures either. But yes, they probably have a pretty low budget, considering they only shoot at one location and the kaiju dolls are pretty much the toys. Hopefully the movie's a little different.

I don't think I ever saw any figures for show budgets. People love to guess these things based on the quality of the show.

Ah I was hoping it wouldn't be something like this. D:

I mean things do kind of add up to a low budget since I'm going to guess they're using the last incarnation of some of the costumes of the creatures featured, Jean-Nine[Whom I've heard is from another Ultraman show] is sort 'sixth ranger'/'secondary rider' for this series with little change, the fact that they're only making about 11 episodes[?] and having a break between the two halves of the series, and of course the fact that they're using the school as a primary location.

I hope someone finds the numbers. I'd love to compare them with an episode from another Ultraman, and with the current Kamen Rider. :U

...Then again this is kind of my first Ultraman series so I don't know how these shows usually play out.


....Though I could swear that the Ginga spark in the show seemed a bit bigger than the toy version last I saw?



Regardless, I appreciate the help.

Well, it is Tsuburya productions right? No offense to their work, but all there stuff does seem a bit on the cheap side when compared to Toei. Maybe that's an unfair thing for me to say, but that's how I tend to feel when I see stuff produced by them.

Mayhaps. I'll have to check out another Ultraman series to see if that's true.


Ooooh woe is me. ;U

Tsuburya was always kind of cheap, but where Toei gradually upgraded, they never did. But Ginga just feels really really cheap compared to a normal Ultra Series.

I'm pretty sure they haven't really been doing that well recently anyway, so it's not like they have the excess cash that Toei does to throw around on giant CGI watermelons.
