913. The useful Ultraman Mebius and the Ultra Brothers review!

Yes, this is not the greatest of the Ultraman movies, but it is pretty fun overall.

866. The exciting Ultraman Mebius series finale review! 47-50

Here we have the finale!  It is bittersweet for me, as I really like these people!

864. Ultraman and the baffling Battle for Earth! A review

This is a fun movie, which I would have loved to see as a kid, especially if I hadn't seen the series.

824. Ultraman Mebius 25-28 Space Dinosaur Z-ton!

This show really is something special.  I tried watching newer ones, but none have quite captured my attention like this series.

810. Ultraman Mebius 17-20 beware the BEMSTAR!

 Here's a great set of episodes (I will be surprised if there are any adequate episodes of this show) to review today!

Ultraman Mebius 13-16- Samurai Showdown!

These are also four very good episodes, and we get a cameo by a classic Ultraman!

802. Reviewing JFFJ #12 from 1979!

Here's a review of the seminal fanzine Japanese Fantasy Film Journal #12, the first one I ever bought.

796. Ultraman Mebius 09-12 review!

 What a show!  These are not my favorite episodes, but they are quite good!

795. Ultraman Episode Guide 2025 book review!

 This is a great book, so go find a copy of it!

789. Ultraman Mebius 05-08, the Blue Giant Appears!

We start the Tsurugi story arc here, and it will be a few more episodes before we learn the secret of the Blue Giant!

Unboxing the Ultra Book!

                    

 Once again, I am behind on posting, but this will suffice for an hour or so!

591. The Ultraman Taro Story (1984)!

              This is a good Ultra movie, though it does start a rather annoying trend that still persists to this day.

Mini-sode 01 with X7! Ultraman celebration!

               Something brand-new for us today!

Happy Ultraman Day!

Today is the day, some 59 years ago, when Ultraman first appeared on television in Japan.  It was not the first episode of Ultraman, instead it was a live airing called The Birth of Ultraman.  This featured the stars of the show, along with Eiji Tsuburaya making an appearance.  The monsters also showed up, especially the ones from Ultra Q.  Naturally, the special was a big hit, and led to the series being an even bigger hit.  This led to the franchise which is still going on to this day.  Whether this is a good thing or not is up to conjecture.  I certainly haven't kept up with anything past Ultraman Mebius, aside from various movies and such.

442. Shin Ultraman is a long movie! (review is not)

                    Well, most of the original video survived- if you want to see the fight between Ultraman and Zaran, watch it on Spotify.  YouTube made me remove it.

432. Ultraman episode "40" review!

             Whattya think of this?  An interesting addition to the Ultraman show, but it has never been released here in the West.

424. Ultraman episodes 38 and 39 in review!

              The last two episodes of Ultraman are reviewed here!   However, it is not the last Ultraman episode we have, I said mysteriously!

Ultra-Xeno-Paint!

 

Yes, I am going to brag a little here!  My skills with basic Paint have been improving and I think the titles for the podcast and the covers for the issues have gotten pretty darn good!  The Godzilla 54-56 issue cover looks to be the best one I have done on my own (not a patch on the wonderful ones from the past, for sure, though!).  It has been really fun to learn a new skill, and the new logo works really well with the images these days.  I have to work on not making the titles too busy though, since it sure is fun.

417. Ultraman 36 and 37 review!

               Here's a good episode and one of the most fun ones, though also one of the most tragic ones.  Poor Pigmon.  He rarely survives.

410. Ultraman 34 and 35 review!

              You better believe this episode features my favorite Ultra Monster!  Yes, the picture is here and I have talked enough about it that it has it's on label.
