Needin' a new kaiju fix? Get it from the extremely entertaining first 8 minutes of ULTRAMAN SAGA, on Tsuburaya's Youtube page!

IT WILL ONLY BE UP FOR 24 HOURS FROM NOW SO YOU'D BETTER SEE IT QUICK!

In an age where miniature effects work and monster suit action are at an all-time low, it's nice to see Tsuburaya still keeping that candle a-burnin!

Fun facts -
- This is a universe where Ultramen haven't existed (yet)
- Astron, the beastly beast in the vid, first appeared in THE RETURN OF ULTRAMAN, the third Ultraman series and fourth overall Ultra series. The monster itself actually appeared in the very first episode...which was directed by none other than Ishiro Honda!
- That paper that the girls left in the convenience store? An I.O.U. ;)

And for eight precious minutes, I was an a giggling, awed child once again. Thanks so much for sharing this!

Watched it for breakfast (heheh), and I'll say any fears about the quality dropping are gone for me. Look about on par with Zero, only with GORGEOUS MINIATURES!!!! The dust falling off of the building as Dyna enters wasn't even in the trailers we've scene. Very well-damn-done.

The fact that Ultramen have YET to exist screams one HELL of an epic story to me - how would Earth fare against these gargantuan savages without the godlike Ultras to keep them at bay?? Certainly can't wait for the fansubs to roll in...(assuming they finally let up on supposed "copyright infringements"...bah! Old corporate cronies are just being stuck-up idiots, if people can't find this available to buy in their home country WITHOUT good ol' fansubbers there! :XD:)

Have you seen Super 8 Ultra Brothers? It depicts a world that has never experienced monster attacks, let alone getting save by Ultramen, and there's a fair amount of fallout from those attacks depicted.

Thanks for making me aware of that! I must REALLY be out of the loop in kaiju movies these days...^^; :XD:

Check out the last five Ultraman movies - The Next through Zero the Movie. All great stuff.

Zero the Movie I'm aware of - and, in terms of battles, it was LEGENDARY. I can only hope they can match - or surpass - the action in the last one!

Actually, I liked that movie so much I imported the Japanese Blu Ray box set. XD

At least you can - I'm still in high school! I don't even HAVE any online money, let alone an account for that stuff! Which is why I thank YouTube and all the subtitle-makers out there! :D
