New Ultraseven mini thing coming out called "The Future 55 Years Ago."
https://streamable.com/5aev07
It's gonna be a 7 minute concept movie for testing some VFX tech, apparently.

Some more info on UltraSeven IF story:

http://tsuburaya-prod.com/news/6096

It's a callback to the episode where Earth decided it had to destroy Pegassa City.

It looks like they did some AI modeling to simulate young Dan Moroboshi.

Alien Pegassa did something that altered the future and forced Moroboshi to crash his Ultra Hawk 'here' in the world of 2023, where Seven has disappeared for 55 years.

I wouldn't be surprised if the team teams up with Racles to defeat the Bugnarok, and the final battle is Gira v. Racles on the chest of King Ohger, MGS2 style.

Has Not Actually Done Cocaine
Went and saw The Super Mario Bros Movie tonight(which incidentally has Mario and Luigi do a Double Rider Kick in the final fight) and one of the trailers before it was for that Live Action Saint Seiya/Knights of The Zodiac film that's coming out in a couple days and on the one hand its likely to be a garbage fire but also looks kind of fun

Also saw a trailer for Blue Beetle and yeah the Toku influences are really shining through on that one

Also if anyone still cares the third and final season of the Ultraman anime is up on Netflix now (and it’s back to being 12 episodes just like the first one was)

The Director’s Cut version of the DonBrothers finale has also been subbed now

At some point they're going to have to give Juggler his own origin saga so that a lot of questions can be answered.. like how did he get the sword and how does it have so much power and utility.. I mean in Z he just uses the sword to somehow duplicate Zett's Ultra Riser, how the heck did he do that?

I get the feeling the answer lies in some entity that is trapped in the sword somehow doing all this poo poo for him..

Not really, mostly just some battle stuff like Sonoshi fighting the Executors before going to the others for help, a scene of Tarou telling Sonoi he’s going to lose his memories and a bit more Murasame content

He got half a one, all Orb Origin did was give Juggler a reason to seek power another way since the O-50 entity decided Gai deserved the Orb powers more than Juggs.

OOS didn't explain how Juggler got his alternate form or sword, only that he already had them before Gai was granted his Orb powers.

Does his alternate form need an explanation? Maybe he can just do that.

Maybe you could handwave his alt form but he didn't come out of the womb holding the sword..

The closest anyone gets to categorizing him is when Cerebro outs him as an alien in Z..

I'm hyped for the Ultra Seven AI revival but only seven minutes of Dan Morobishi being confused by cell phones?

To be fair, you can be human and still be an alien in the Ultraman "multiverse." There are humans on multiple planets, and IIRC the Orb Chronicle stuff confirmed the residents of O-50 are primarily humans.

On the other hand, I kinda like Juggler just being the way he is with minimal explanation. Not everything NEEDS explanation. Makes his little rivalry with Dyna that was established in Orb Origin interesting too, since he's also an inexplicable existence (even the novel that explains Dyna's origins just explains how he exists, not what he actually is and why he's one of the strongest Ultras.)

A little privacy, please?
My understanding of the orb saga was that it was not actually supposed to be a huge multimedia event and that it was more like a lore bible produced such that any given story that Orb and juggler appeared in would just be a little glimpse into a broader history

This isn’t Star Wars, we don’t need in universe lore explanations for why Han Solo’s pants have a stripe on them.

Speaking of, I will say that while there are still problems the last season of the anime is at least better than its immediate predecessor (in that it actually goes back to adapting manga material and is back to being 12 episodes like the first season was)

Pretty good OP song too:

Edit: Seems it’s actually NOT a manga adaption of any kind though it does contain a few elements from it such as Ultraman Marie

watchin Bravestorm. Its some direct to DVD goodness. Not a cinematic masterpiece but a fun reimagining of some classic toku IPs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2l57L92K6nw&t=1975s

Its got Eiji from Kamen Rider OOOs and calls back to shows like Robo Red Baron(track it down, worth it) and Silver Kamen(not so much). Its all CGI stuff so none of the hearthrobs or their plucky stunt doubles were burned with pyro.

I'm about midway through, it hasnt pissed me off or bored me. I'll post some some after thoughts.

Honestly Johnny Sokko is so far surprisingly good for a 60's era English Dub, aside from names barely anything gets altered and the dub acting is also pretty decent aside from them sometimes trying a bit too hard to get the voices to sync up with the mouth movements resulting in things getting either too fast or drawn out

Boy, how weird is this? We were just discussing Juggler origins (or how there is no need for them) and this pops up on Takaya Aoyaki's Twitter feed only two days ago:

Google Translate says this is the caption:

At the very least we've reached the era of Sentai where stars can go "can I keep doing this for the rest of my life" instead of loving off to only do 'serious' J-dramas, or only showing up for an anniversary special years later.

I agree with the original tweet, just have him play Kaito, the owner of a tiny tavern in Shugoddom who can turn into Zenkaiser for some reason. No explanation or anything, just have him be the Cid of Super Sentai.

Wait a second- is King Ohger just Kamen Rider Ryuki again, with extra steps? Is the main conflict of the show actually going to be King Ohgers vs Racles vs Jeremie
