User blog comment:Stephan222/Showatch: Why You Shouldwatch Showa Ultra/@comment-5527544-20151229212406

I'm trying to watch Ultraman now.

I have watched all of Ultra Seven, both English dub and Japanese. Loved it.

Return of Ultraman, in English, annoyed me with how Jiro was never taken seriously and almost always threatened with being expelled, when previous episodes showed why the idiots should have listened to him. (I also don't like the idea that an Ultraman would runaway). Perhaps I could better stand the Japanese version.

Ultraman Ace: I could not, for the life of me, stand that English Dub, never got past the first episode. I have not found the Japanese version.

Right now I've only wathched the first episode of Taro, in Japanese,...it was...weird in some parts (though I suspect and accept that was just cultural differences), illogical in some instances and it had its moment of psychodelic.

Ultraman Leo: Honestly I should have finished this some time ago. Leo was the one I liked the most so far besides 80, Seven and the original. It was dark, sometimes soul shatteringly depressing, but dang it did Gen/Leo ever have me cheering for him to win. Watching Leo, it made you feel that you really shouldn't cry at anything life threw at you, not after what he went through.

Ultraman 80: Ive only watched the first few episodes at the time of this comment, but I do like the series so far. Not soul crushing, not so goofy, but not without humor. I especially like the directing style of fight scenes, though 80's design needs some work (why did they give an Ultra a nose)
