Went and saw the sub that was screened January 11. I thought the script was fantastic. They do such a good job balancing the camp, drama, and humor. It was surprisingly funny. The action scenes were fantastic. I love how weird and Evangelion shaped this Ultraman was. We had people cheering during some of the scenes like during the first transformation or when he one hit KOed a kaiju
But yeah, go out and watch it. Once you do that, come back and read the spoiler part:
============================
Some thoughts:
-Oooh, brane theory! From Go-Onger, I learned that the brane theory is the idea that the multiverse consists of multiple dimensions, with each one being a different layer of the membrane. Nice to see it used here, even if 2022 was the year of the multiverse overuse
-Man does Asami carry this movie. She has to be so many roles and she nails it. So many funny lines from that woman
-Great politics? "The Americans are only interested in selling us weapons" Yeah, that sounds about right lol. "The government was surprisingly efficient with declaring him dead". At least the government can be fast at some things lol
-One of the first things my sister said to me (I went with her and another normie friend) was she liked the derpy eyes of the invisible kaiju. I think some of the monster designs and fights were real good. Loved seeing the destruction of the power plant and parts of the city.
-I'm going to need to look up this writer, he did a great job.
-What interesting use of camera angles. The one that stood out most was where the camera was under the desk or something
Translation thoughts:
For the most part I thought it was a good translation. I particularly liked that they tried to convey the real meaning of itterashai and ittekimasu. The first one is usually "goodbye", but has another meaning of "come back safely". And ittekimasu means "I'm going now", but has the additional meaning of "I promise I'll be back", which is ironic for how it's used here. But it makes it more significant when he says "I'm back" and she says "Welcome back"
I thought I saw a couple lines of the sub missing, but someone else said they were just misttimed and went by too fast. Like how does something like that get out of quality control for a nationwide screening?
Typo where someone wrote "if" instead of "it"
I'm glad they spelled Spacium right here
The name convention doesn't use honorifics and stuff, which normally isn't a problem. But here, I wish the nerd guy actually called the lady Analyst Asami which included her title, since that's how he addresses her each time "Oh, that's Analyst Asami"
If Mefilas is supposed to be based on Mephisto, probably should spell it Mephilas. Anyway, that actor was great, what a good performance
I was hoping for a kanji to know which shin this Ultraman is, but it looks like it's written in hiragana. So it's kind of like New/True Ultraman
