"Have you become so fond of humans?" | The Story of Shin Ultraman 

"Have you become so fond of humans?" One of my favorite sayings and love for Ultraman.

You will never see this dark, auteur, subversive film maker the same way When you remember that the man's beloved wife wrote an entire gag manga about how much of a wholesome, unironic nerd he is for tokusatsu hero shows. What a king.

I love how this movie isn't really the dark and scary movie people expected from Shin Ultraman because of Shin Godzilla and Evangelion. We already have that and that's called Ultraman Nexus which is VERY GOOD. Shin Ultraman captures the nuanced sci-fi and light commentary on humanity vibe of the showa era series'.

"Have you become so fond of humans?" "Have *we* forgotten we were humans once?" "They aren't supposed to know that until 2006." "They've always known. That's why they call us Ultraman."

You can consider this as a big video similar to a “History of,” but it’s probably the biggest we’ve ever made it! Another big thank you to Liz, Mako, and Ferbus for their contributions!

I love it when you talk about Ultraman! I feel like Ultraman doesnt get a lot of love from the American Toku fans.

“Humans need fantasy to be human. To be the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape.” Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

This is how a reboot should be made. Using original sources as well as paying tribute to the original design and modernizing the concepts beautifully. I look forward to Shin Seven and Shin Kaetekkita.

I never considered that reading of M87, but I absolutely love it now. We, humanity, didn't just find our way because we met Ultraman. Ultraman became complete because he met _us,_ and that's why he loves us.

I have an idea. Its a stupid idea, but an idea nonetheless. Going back to Shin Goji, we see his tail sprouting humanoid like creatures. What if some of them actually thaw out? What if it leads to creations of "super soldier" in a "squadron"? Yes, I propose the premise of Shin Super Sentai, in particular, Shin Gorenger, fighting off Shin Goji's offsprings in a far off future. Farfetched, but I think it could be decent.

I was wondering why Ultraman seems so separate from other Tokusatsu. This series uses crossovers sparingly while Kamen Rider and Super Sentai do it every year.

That scene is beautiful. he even sacrifice his life for a human to live,

I've been realizing that I'm okay with the Ultraman series, but I LOVE the Ultra Galaxy Fight spinoff so much more because the Ultramen and women are the characters, not the humans they bond with.

I want to spin off show, featuring the characters from this movie. Also M87 goes hard That's all

Peak content. This is what I subscribe for. Wanna know something funny? I didn't even realise that they removed the grunting sound that ultraman had until you pointed it out lol.

Thank you a lot for making this video and you, Liz, and Makomattari are able to discuss and explain more about Shin Ultraman and what makes it special and beautiful more than I can imagine. It's one of the best History series that you have ever written so far and you and your team had even explored more about Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi's life more in depth which means a lot!! So thank you for helping me learn and better understand why I love Shin Ultraman a lot!!

Phenomenal job on this absolutely nailed it out the park - the movie was amazing and I'm glad you managed to capture all the nuances within this video

God, this video was beautiful. I’m honestly surprised more people haven’t watched it, because this is such an insightful look into the movie, both in front of & behind the scenes.

This was a really, really good video. Good job!

The moment I saw this video in my notification, I directly went and watched it regardless of time (it was around 4 in the morning here). And I commented now only after I saw all of it. Needless to say, I have nothing much else to, well, say since this review is so comprehensive it's like Blunova & Monstrosities' Shin Ultraman videos put together in one giant compilation movie (it's a compliment btw). Props to all the people who did the scriptwriting & editing for this video and (of course) your narration, Marco 👍. I hope we can see Lipiah again in a continuation even though he already gave his life 😇. And I'm glad this video also noticed that *Ultraman Powered* (The Ultimate Hero) has dope redesigns of classic ultra kaijus (even though the fighting sucks 😅).

This is your opus in all my time of watching your channel this is the best thing you have ever made keep up the good work this was amazing. Shin was my first introduction into Ultraman and is one of my fav movies of all time

Such a great video, thank you! Seeing Shin Ultraman in theaters was my first exposure to Ultraman at all. I'm a long time Sentai and new Kamen Rider fan so I wanted to dip my toe into the the remaining member of the big three. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and this gave me a lot of great insight into things I don't know being outside of the fandom.

Awesome review. The same care and amount of effort put into the filme making of Ultraman I can feel through times here on your content! Congrats!

Immaculate job on this one!

On the topic of soundtracks, An Out of Body State was one of the biggest surprises. Hearing it in one of the earlier Trailers for the film vs hearing it in full during the Mephilas fight was such a beautiful twist. Love the electric guitar popping off with the action.

Your best video yet!

This video was superb, bravo!

Thank you. I love your review of shin ultraman and the you put the video. Please don't stop making videos.

Great video and well researched!

Nice to see this video, great job

I love the movie when it first shows it's trailer then when it's officially launch global ,after watching it, it was a nostalgia yet brings a more meaningful content for people like how when monsters appear they fought and win then another more stronger monster and then technology which can destroy life and earth is completely hopeless yet Ultraman shows that in the end just never give up even the odds against is him ,he knows can't defeat zetton and could end up dying but he still believes he can find a way because the sssp supported him and he still proves that zoffy was wrong in erasing earth , it was like he was telling us there is always a way that's I why I appreciated and love the movie

I love that toku fans at least appreciate higuchi’s work on attack on Titan . Anime fan will never understand

amazing video

I recently did a review for this on my channel and even though I love tokusatsu, I wasn’t very familiar Ultraman. I felt pretty lost and ended up giving the film a harsher rating. But this video was extremely informative and honestly was just the deep dive I was looking for! Thank you for going in depth and covering the history, I definitely will be able to appreciate the film a lot more on a 2nd viewing!

Absolutely loved what these two did with this movie, along with Shin Godzilla. Was the perfect time too as I had just finished watching the original series at the time. Seriously can't wait to watch Shin Kamen Rider. My only problem with the film is that it ended way to abruptly. Does anybody else agree?

I'm very curious to see his take on Kamen Rider in Shin Kamen Rider. At the very least, I know that Anno is the man for the job, he has the passion and experience.

Bravo, good sir!

Please make Two more Sequels about Shin Ultraman also Introduce More Ultras

Interesting video. I hope you could maybe do videos on the old English Ultraman English dubs (OG, seven, Tiga)

thanks for the video

amazing video.

This is the thing that the Japanese have over western heroes, in the west they are commodity and truly great stories don't come often. But in Japan while they do sell merch too, you can feel the love coming from this. These are heroes that have a legacy most citizens respect and love. While the west mightve gotten a better understanding of the word super, the Japanese truly understand the word hero.

Hearing they brought back the original Ultraman for motion capture, reminds me when the brought back Lou Ferrigno for Hulk's voice in the 2008 film.

Man shin ultraman was so good, i hope shin kamen rider will have the same quality

Great video! Bravo! A curiosity... What are the BGM that plays at 51:04 and 58:27?

Shin Ultraman really captures the hope the original show has

37:14 Love this shot.

Shin Ultraman: about a World with Kaiju, Human Will, Alien Invasion, & the need to Understand Humanity. If i Write the Sequel, the Return of Shin Ultraman: about Global War against Kaiju, Modern Technology Use, Understanding Kaiju and Kaijin, Human Emotion, Interspecies Love. Shin Ultraman vs. Shin Ultra Brothers: about Space Creatures Rights, Pollution, Religion, Needs for Emotion, and Brotherhood. I like to have it like that... Fine you?

Didn’t we getting a return of Ultraman TV series back in the day?

So nice to see Hiroko Sakurai at the beginning

I do wish you make a review on there upcoming Shin Kamen Rider, as fas as i can see on the trailers ans there website i feel it looks 100%better than KR the first and the next.

Everyone forgets to pronounce the last S in SSSS Gridman 😝

0:32 In the interview with Anno and Higuchi, what Higuchi actually said in Japanese and the English subtitles are completely out of sync.

3:08 Starship Troopers OVA Cameo.

So this what makes ultraman so great ?

I noticed you said the name of the Godzilla kaiju GABARA. The Ultra kaiju shown is GABORA.

They should have kept his battle grunts
