My history with tokusatsu is mostly Toei productions. For now, let’s discuss what it’s like to watch Ultraman Z. I think this has probably colored my opinion in some way, but I’m excited to share my thoughts on Geed in the future. Ideally, we could even see the upcoming Shin Ultraman release on YouTube.īefore we jump into my experience with Ultraman Z, I’ll let you know upfront that although I can say this was my first Ultra series show, I binged all of Ultraman Geed between the release of Ultraman Z episodes 6 and 7 so that I would understand the context of Riku’s inclusion. I highly recommend supporting these releases as they happen because Ultraman Z might be a turning point in tokusatsu distribution. Team TokuNet will surely report any notable new releases. I know those of you reading at home probably won’t be able to access the show through YouTube anymore, seeing as each episode only stayed up for two weeks, but the official Ultraman YouTube channel is still uploading more shows with the same approach so you should check in periodically to see what’s available. I was really looking forward to my first proper foray into the Ultra series, and the fact it was with an official release airing alongside each new episode in Japan was even more thrilling. After all, jumping on releases like this is the easiest way to let Japanese production companies know that we want more. Imagine my surprise when we reported that this very approach to simulcasting would actually be happening for the first time with Ultraman which I had never watched apart from the Netflix anime.ĭespite not previously being a fan of the Ultra series, I was absolutely over the moon to hear this would be happening since it made for the perfect time to start watching. Watching shows like Kamen Rider or Super Sentai as they air in Japan on a platform as widely accessible as YouTube is pretty much the absolute dream for any tokusatsu fan, right now. My excitement at the idea of an international YouTube simulcast for any tokusatsu show cannot be overstated.
