Monster Zero x SciFi Japan - Archive Only

Very little is known about this new series and all we do know comes from the scan above. Here's the rundown:

ULTRAMAN RETSUDEN
("Retsuden" translates as "series of biographies")
- It will air from 6:00-6:30 PM on Wednesdays starting from July 6th.
- It will apparently "uncover little-known facts about the Ultra Warriors and Monsters."

So is this going to be a fairly lame stock footage recap series or a fairly awesometastic series of original adventures featuring past heroes and monsters? I initially assumed the former but I talked to August Ragone on the matter and his speculation that its half-hour runtime may indicate an original, dramatic production as opposed to a simple clips-show - something like a more Ultraman-centric spin on the Ultra Galaxy concept only likely to have much higher production values as this is airing on TV Tokyo and six national networks.

Again, this is all speculation so don't start thinking that this is definitely what we're getting. However, if it is it ought to be cool as hell. I love the thought of what could basically be a series of gaidens for multiple Ultramen and monsters. LOVE IT.

I'll poke around and see what I can find... I've been out of the loop with bringing Mr. Nakajima over for Monsterpalooza and working on the upcoming issue of , as well as consulting on a kaiju-related project... Whew! (If someone beats me to it, I'll be grateful, since that will be one less thing I have to do!)

Hrmm, hopefully it'll be more than a clip show, but it's nice that a new show is coming out.

Three words:

BRING. BACK. MOCHIRON.
