Jared Watches At Least the Vast Majority of the Ultra Series

[kiryugoji04]

...before its 50th anniversary.

Despite considering myself a pretty big Ultra fan, I've realized that I've only ever actually seen a handful of the various series in their entirety. I'm pretty sure they are as follows:

Ultraman Ace
Ultraman Nexus
Ultraman Max
Ultraman Mebius
Bio Planet WoO
Ultra Seven X
Ultra Galaxy
Ultra Galaxy NEO

As well as the following movies:

Ultraman Zearth
Ultraman Tiga & Ultraman Dyna
Ultraman Gaia: Battle in Hyperspace
Ultraman Cosmos vs. Ultraman Justice
Ultraman the Next
Ultraman Mebius and the Ultra Brothers
The Super 8 Ultra Brothers
Ultra Galaxy Legends
Ultraman Zero the Movie
Ultraman Saga

With the 50th anniversary coming up, I've decided I need to rectify this pretty badly. My goal is to at least make it through all of the Showa series (Ultra Q through Ultraman 80) before next July and, if possible, at least a handful of the Heisei series. We'll see how far I actually make it but I'm going to begin tackling the three 1960s series within the next week or so and I'll keep my progress updated here.

Anyway, HERE WE GO.

And here I was scouring the ultraman wikia to try and come up with these lists for myself. Thanks for doing the leg work!

I've got one or two episodes of Ultraman left. I had been waiting to find a source for Ultra Q and Ultra Seven before finishing it. I couldn't find a legit streaming source, checked my illegitimate streaming and non sources and some how came up even more empty handed. But lo and behold Shout Factory TV comes and saves the day.

As far as series I've seen all the way through, the list includes Ultraman, Ultraseven, Return of Ultraman, Ultraman Ace, Ultraman Taro, Ultraman: Towards the Future, Ultra Galazy, and Ultra Galaxy NEO. Currently making my way through Ultra Q.

I'm gonna do something kinda-sorta similar. I've seen Ultra Q, Ultraman, and Ultraseven and I'm currently watching Max and X on Crunchyroll. I want to watch as much of the rest of Showa Ultraman shows before I watch Mebius, and that'll lead me into the 50th anniversary year and whatever Tsuburaya cooks up for that.

[MekaGojira3k]

I've seen Ultra Q, Ultraman, Towards the Future, The Ultimate Hero, Neos, Nexus, Max, Mebius, Ultraseven X, Ultra Galaxy, Ultra Galaxy Neo, and Ginga.

Movies: Zearth, The Next, Mebius & Ultra Brothers, Super 8 Ultra Brothers, Legends, Zero the Movie, and Saga.

Currently working on: Ultraseven and Ultraman Ginga S.

Since I've seen at least one episode from every series, it is easier if I list what I have not seen:

Leo
The Ultraman
80
Ultraseven 90's OVA's
Dyna
Gaia
Neos
Ultra-Q Dark Fantasy
Nexus
Max

Neo Ultra Q
Ginga
Ginga S

While I have seen episodes of all of the series I'm short on:

Ultraman Ace
Ultraman Taro
Ultraman Dyna
Ultraman Gaia

And I haven't caught The 10 Ultra Warriors yet.

But Jared, you forgot one movie, The 6 Ultra Brothers vs The Monster Army! (Quickly ducks thrown building, )

[kiryugoji04]

I'm actually tempted to track it down.

[sentaison]

If you haven't seen it yet, it's worth watching once just for the experience of it. I watched it raw in Japanese years ago. For someone who had watched a lot of Japanese tv and films dubbed into English, it was pretty trippy to realize I was watching a film dubbed into Japanese!

I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the shows, Kiryugoji.
I still have plenty of them to watch myself. Of the Showa era, I've only seen Ultraman and Leo, and I'm currently working on 80.
Of the Heisei era, I've seen (most of)Tiga, Towards The Future, Neos, Nexus, Max, Mebius, and Ultraseven X. I'm still working on Ultraman X, of course.
I've only seen four of the films: Ultraman Mebius and the Ultra Brothers, Superior 8 Ultraman Brothers, Ultra Galaxy Legends, and Ultraman Zero: The Revenge of Belial.

I think Tsuburaya was mostly knocking it out of the park between 2004 and 2008.
