Here are a few of my favorites -

None of those heroes are even Tsuburaya properties...

My apologies for getting a bit carried away - tho Redman is a Tsuburaya character...

[Lamango]

Redman IS Tsuburaya. They re-use almost all the suits from Man, Seven, Jack, Ace, Leo and Taro. They also used two monsters from MIGHTY!Jack and Mirrorman.

My bad - I initially mistook him for Fireman and when I realized he wasn't I just assumed he wasn't a Tsuburaya character. Ooops.

OH BUT LAMANGO, GODZILLA'S BEEN AROUND FOR FIFTY YEARS, HE'S MORE WELL KNOWN IN THE UNITED STATES!" Bullfrigginhorseshit. Chances are, the only reason they know of Godzilla is because of GINO, Revenge, Megalon, or GFW.

Uhhh.... do you really think if I go up to a random person on the street and ask them about any of those they will know them? No, they wouldn't. If GINO was the only reason they knew of Godzilla, how come a lot of people hated it yet it did well at the box office? Because he's a well known name and a american big budget adaptation got a lot of people excited to see their favorite giant monster be brought to the big screen. And don't forget Godzilla was popular during the 60's and 70's as I recall they were actually shown in american theatres the most notiable I know of is King Kong vs Godzilla. So yeah, chances are they know of the big G not from ANY of those films(seriously, who the hell would know of Final Wars outside of the fanbase?) but rather the name itself and what he's famous for.

@Thunderscore: Question. Who's the guy with the long white hair?

[Lamango]

They probably saw Godzilla as a kid on TNT then. So bite me, MechaGino. BITE MY HAIRY, FAT ARSE!

Anyways...

The guy with the white hair...I've seen him before, but his name escapes me.

OOhhh... Just the way I like it. *munch*

So which series has been dubbed into english besides the original, tiga, and Seven?

@Thunderscore: Question. Who's the guy with the long white hair?

That's MEGALOMAN (メガロマン) -


Here's a Wikipedia link - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megaloman

I like just about all of the Kyodai heroes:

So which series has been dubbed into English besides the original, Tiga, and Seven?

JOENIAS was also dubbed (tho not the entire series) - Several of the Ultra series were dubbed into Malaysian English - off the top of my head, RETURN OF ULTRAMAN, ACE, TARO, 80... Not sure if was the entire series... I'm sure there are others chomping at the bit to elaborate further...

So... many... of these... shows. *head explodes*

Thanksgiving is like Friday the 13th for Native Americans (or whatever they liked to be called).

Kamen rider DID team up with Ultraman before, but it was a Showa movie.

i would hardly call it teaming up

it was primarily a clip show of the two different characters series

it did have a very small original plot with both characters having to team up to fight a monster, even exchanging each others signature attacks


was still pretty cool though, to see two great companys heroes together

[mecha-gino]

Red King... Gomora... Soon I shall be watching you in all your glory!

I'm just a bit dissapointed Tyrant is in Taro and Windom is in Seven. Now I'm not saying that's a bad thing it's just it'll make it harder for me to find the episodes they're in.

And here's a good question for the fans: Which ultraman's design do you like the most?

[Orgasmatron]

and Windom is in Seven.

while windam is a great monster, hes got very little screen time though unless hes being taken over by aliens

[ThunderScore]

and Windom is in Seven.

while windam is a great monster, hes got very little screen time though unless hes being taken over by aliens

I liked Windam in the ULTRA GALAXY movie...

ULTRAMAN VS MASKED RIDER is a great intro for those who want to learn about both characters...
The new sequence at the end is still pretty awesome, 17 years later...

haha thats embarrassing

i was honestly confusing part of it with another special that went up to taro or something showing defense teams and ultras or something like that

[Draglord]

Found Ultraman Zero vs Darclops Zero Stage 1 (no subs, though) on the internet already. Just got done watching it. Not gonna spoil anything, but I gotta say that Mecha Gomora kicks ass. I also enjoyed Zero and Darclops Zero battling it out. I eagerly await Stage 2 to come out.
