Covering: Ultraman Taro episodes 32 to 34
This Christmas, we're gifted with a great week of episodes between the platonic ideal of a Taro episode and what is probably the most we've enjoyed a big crossover to date as old heroes rise again. Not to mention another lesson in the importance of having normal (not over) confidence. There's even an evil monkey. I guess it's true that when there's nothing left to lose, you win.
Hokuto is still dead btw

A real solid batch of Arc this week featuring our fav guy Zangill and also Blazar even. With only one batch of the show remaining, we are feeling high about Arc as it heads into its final stretch.

Covering: Ultraman Blazar The Movie: Tokyo Kaiju Showdown
It's finally here after 10 or so months (maybe closer to 11) but we finally close the book on our first modern Ultraman show as we talk about the long awaited Blazar movie. With several Interesting Choices being made on the narrative front, how do we feel about the movie as a proper conclusion to the series? Or did we enjoy ourselves because of or despite the creators' intentions?

We put the "Well-Known Monsters and Aliens Reappearance Series" (yes, really) behind us with a chaotic two-parter featuring Kotaro's dramatic foil. Then we get a goofier episode we like much better. Most of all, we question the Wiki-brained attitude the Ultra Series takes towards its various kaiju and their reappearances. Oh yeah, I guess this is a long one too, huh.

CW: light discussion of the show's usage of intellectual disabilities/abelism
Mel and Shane ("Do You Remember Robotech?") return for one last job and finish off their Orguss coverage for good with the strange, and somehow better put together, six episode OVA sequel (spin-off?) to Orguss. We have a good time taking about this interesting show and what makes it work, as well as some wrinkles it still can't escape as a product of the 90s. It is nice to finish this journey on a high note.
Big thanks to Shane for the collaboration!

We've topped off one cliffhanger and maybe stumbled into another? And with it comes an old friend. Also, some plot stuff that seems like it both got wrapped up a lot faster than we thought and raised some moral questions that nobody would actually think of asking in real life.

It was bound to happen at some point. After a longer gap than intended, this kaiju sized episode features a truly massive preamble section, with our longest intro segment yet. We manage to cover the Ultraman stuff in good time though, despite a sudden last minute time pressure. Which probably is helped by the fact all three of these episodes are basically the same.

Note that this episode is being released about a month after recording. Also note that Mel and Shane are going to (eventually) cover the sequel OVA, Orguss 02, next, so if anyone has any emails for either the end of this show or that OVA, send them to [email protected] so we can cover them then!

"Is Orguss good? Uhhh well we're a bit divided but it's certainly no Macross. You can watch it if you want I guess. There's a dinosaur that cheats on his girlfriend, that's pretty good."

This week, Ace as we know it comes to an end as the writers kick out one of our protagonists while going scorched earth on the remaining concepts that made the show unique while giving up any pretense of respecting women in one fell swoop. Man, it sucks here. Also a new Ultra Guy is introduced who's probably important but this isn't about him (he jobs in two seconds anyway).

We get to the first two-parter of Ace and it's pretty good! We do question some of the booking though. Also for a show that ostensibly co-stars a woman, it sure does spend a lot of time sidelining said woman. Also the other protagonist is a misogynist. Hokuto, what are you doing?

...But actually, most of this episode is us going on about other stuff because it's been a while.

Red is away this week (but here in spirit via summaries), leaving Rasen and Mel to tackle a couple of strong episodes in Ultraseven's final stretch, including a cool Jissoji outing and doppelganger shenanigans. And also the one mid episode of the bunch, in what seems to be Ultraseven tradition at this point. Find a more problematic duo than "Ultra Series" and "ape episode", I'll wait.

We have once again reached "the best batch of episodes yet" as we encounter not one but two separate alien invasion plots (one from an old friend and the other from someone new...yet strangely familiar...). We also contemplate another weird rock and the institution of the monarchy.

First orientalism and now misogyny, we can't escape the gravity of the 1960s. Ide has no rizz. Also the Sentai Segue is real.

It is with a solemn heart we must say that Ultra Q cannot escape the gravity of the 60s, and thus provides us with some old fashioned colonial racism. The other episodes are pretty cool though. Most ancient civilizations put ghosts in their cursed statutes but Ultra Q is built different.

Ultra Q hits the waves. This is in both the oceanic and electromagnetic sense. Aliens are ubiquitous. This might be a cursed episode.

We can't do a Char's Counterattack joke two weeks in a row, but know that it's here in spirit as we talk about a really great episode featuring Garamon once again. Also the other two episodes are taking some swings. Not sure if they're always hitting, but Ultra Q never sits on its laurels.

We are confronted with the fact that this show suddenly has continuity as the gang has to deal with Peguila's Counterattack. Also, a worthy follow up to Dragon Palace, courtesy of Daddy Walrus and the pursuit of capital. There's a meteor falling somewhere in here too.

Another set of episodes where each is different from the last. The only thing we can say for sure between them is that guys would rather ineffectively blow themselves up or turn into spiders than go to therapy.

Also discussing: Shin Ultraman
Welcome to Ultra Queue! We introduce ourselves and talk about how excited we are to journey through the Ultra Series in release order, and how we definitely won't deviate from that.
Edit 2023-09-10: The fact we saw Shin Ultraman was meant to be a surprise at the time of this episode's original release, but we've opted to edit in the fact we discuss it here since the surprise factor is less relevant months later for new listeners than the fact we cover the movie here.
