Mirrorman Ultraman Series, 'Ultraman is bright like the sun, but Mirrorman is the moon, shining on the dark of night'.
is a tokusatsu television series airing on Fuji TV from December 5, 1971 to November 26, 1972. It was Tsuburaya Production's first non-Ultraman superhero series, originally intended to be a tense, character-driven drama. In comparison to most of theInitially tonally similar to Ultraseven, the network eventually forced Mirrorman's brooding, tense, and understated tone to shift to be more special-effects and combat focused. Mirrorman is made to face more dramatic and flashy fights, but the series becomes less focused on mysterious or spy-TV-esque Invader plots. SGM, previously a practically unarmed scientific investigation squad, is revamped to be more in line with a traditional Ultraman defense team, and the whole series takes on a tone more similar to other Kyodai Hero shows.
Synopsis[]
An group of aliens attacks Earth in the 1980s, as predicted by Dr. Mitarai, who terms them "Invaders." He organizes SGM (Science Guard Members) to investigate and counter the threat. However, he also raises Kyotaro Kagami after the death of his father, who was an alien from the second dimension. As a half-alien, Kyotaro is able to transform into Mirrorman. Mitarai reveals this to him, as well as the fact that his father was killed by the Invaders while his mother had to flee for safety. Targeted by the enemy, Kyotaro must defend earth from the Invaders while coming to terms with the impact his father and mother, whom he never knew, had on his life.
