Ultra Series

[TheAptomStrain]

I'm at a loss for words that the Ultra series doesn't have it's own thread so I'll start it off

Let's discuss all things Ultra!

I'll start off by listing my favorite series, and why I liked them

Ultraman Leo - Talk about brutal!

You have, among other highlights, a crippled Ultraseven stuck in human form, people crushed, stabbed, shot, sliced in half, team members dying in combat, the whole team is later killed except for the two main characters, graphic kaiju combat and even the graphic dismemberment of a key character.

Ultraman Nexus - Amazing series. Deeper stories and slightly more compelling Kaiju. Completely dark in tone compared to earlier series. Too bad it was carped by the network by putting it on the Saturday morning kid's block (they wanted to air it on prime time)

Ultraman Mebius - Another one I liked, though not as much as Leo and Nexus. Great storyline. Super fun to see all the Ultra brothers return to show the rookie what's up. And all of Mebius's forms are really cool

My favorite Ultra has to be Ultraman Zero, son of the amazing Ultraseven and possibly the strongest Ultra besides beings like Ultraman Noa. He has an amazing design and when it first leaked I knew he had to have some relation to Seven due to his double eye sluggers and solar panels on his body. I think his first appearance in MMB:UGL was amazing but the subsequent two movies he was featured in just couldn't compare.

Also after owning several Figuarts and Ultra-Act figures, I definitely believe a Ultra-Act is the superior line.

Welp, I've said my piece! Looking forward to everyone's thoughts about the World of Ultra!

I am sure there has been discussions about ultraman in hte past, I recall telling people about my favourite which is Ultraman Cosmos.

to be honest, it is the only one I have watched. I liked it because if how he always tried to heal every monster that came along.

it seems that it is hte only one like this though so I was put off watching any more.

I do enjoy Cosmos for that exact reason, and yes he's the only one who's first thought isn't "kill the kaiju" and it's definitely a trait to be admired. I also like that his main form is blue as opposed to most that is red.

Mebius and Zero are my favorites!

 

Somebody is thinking this, so I am just gonna lay it out. Who would win Guyver Gigantic Exceed or an Ultra being?

That's a really good vs. match idea! I'm really tired and going to sleep and I'd like to elaborate more tomorrow but really quick if they're fighting on Earth(which I assume should be the best place as Sho hasn't fought in space yet), if Exceed can last 3 minutes he's won lol.

Both Guyver Gigantic Exceeds Vs Kaiser Belial! Now that would be awesome!

Ultra Q, Ultraman (My Home is Earth is a particularly great episode, imo), Ultraseven, RoU/Jack, Ace, Leo, Tiga, Dyna, Gaia, Nexus, Max, Mebius are all good Ultra shows. I personally enjoy the Ultra Galaxy series for the most part. Wasn't a big fan of Ginga, but I'm really looking forward to Ginga S.

 

Zero is my least favorite Ultra overall. His design isn't the best or at least it really doesn't click with me. The whole power level thing with him, Belial, and Hyper Zetton was  making things too DBZ-ish for my tastes. Plus his shifts between his arrogant, cocky personality and the typical Ultra "good guy" personality felt a bit jarring for me and I felt it could've been handled better.

My favorite Ultras are Gaia, Cosmos, Max, Mebius & Tiga.  The first Ultra I was ever exposed to was the Australian based Great.

 

 

I've even been working on my first original Ultra.
