In honor of “Ultraman Z” getting an official English Dub on the Ultraman YouTube channel.

I ASK THAT YOU CHANT MY NAME!!!

Izuku is seen running through the city of Musutafu, the streets cluttered with rubble as the giant villain, Gigantomachia, rampages through the city as the League of Villains lay siege to the city.

Izuku(running through streets as people run past him): PLEASE BE OKAY, PLEASE BE OKAY, PLEASE BE OKAY!!!

People run past the young hero student as he nears his destination, praying that all his worrying would all be for nought.

As he turns another street corner, a voice speaks to him from within his head.

???: Don’t worry Izuku, I’m sure that they’re ULTRA okay!

Izuku(jumping over a pile up of cars): I HAVE to make sure they are Mr Z!

Izuku(as he nears a building close to Gigantomachia’s location): They were right next to the attack!

Z(trying to reassure Izuku): Don’t worry kid, everything will be fine.

Izuku arrives at the remains of a Café and he immediately begins helping clear out the rubble in order to help those trapped underneath.

Izuku(as he frantically moves rubble aside): MOM?! OCHACO?! ERI?!

Izuku(as he strains himself to lift more): PLEASE BE OKAY!!!

Izuku lefts a larger piece of rubble and catches glimpse of someone underneath. He proceeds to move some more rubble aside and spots a large group that was trapped when the building collapsed, including a young brunette in a black, white and pink hero suit checking on the injured, a white haired child with a horn on her forehead and a green haired woman helping her as she does so.

Ochaco(turning around as light starts to deep in): Deku-kun?

Eri(running up the slope of rubble towards Izuku): Papa!

Izuku(kneeling down to hug his adopted daughter tightly): You’re alright…

Inko(walking up to them with Ochaco and the other civilians): She was brave, even when others thought we were going to die, she knew that you’d come.

Izuku hugs the rest of his family tightly, relieved that they were all in one piece.

Civilian #1: LOOK OUT!!!

The family looks towards the sky and rush to avoid a large boulder landing on top of them from the nearby Giant’s rampage.

Z(as the Midoriya family looks upon the battle): This doesn’t look good…

Eri(holding her mother’s hand as she turns to Izuku): You can stop this, right Papa?

Eri(beaming up at him): Cause Papa is an “Ultra Hero”!

Izuku gains a conflicted look upon his face, only for Ochaco to place a hand on his shoulder in concern.

Ochaco(worried): If you merge again, you might die!

Izuku(clenching his fist): But Eri would be safe, you know as well as I do that we’d both do anything we could to protect her.

Izuku(looking back towards the fight): I have to do this…

Ochaco(seeing that he’s made up his mind, leans in and gives him a kiss before she starts leading people to safety): YOU BETTER COME BACK TO US!!!

Izuku(smiling at her as he runs of): I WILL!!!

Z(as Izuku draws closer to the battle): Are you Ultra certain you want to do this?

Izuku simply pulls out a device before answering.

Izuku(pressing a button on the hilt as a card with a picture of himself appears before him): Even if I die, at least they’ll be safe, so please, Mr Z…

Z Riser(as Izuku inserts the card into the slot): IZUKU! ACCESS GRANTED!!!

Izuku(pulling three medals from a holder that appeared on his belt): LET’S FIGHT TOGETHER ONE MORE TIME!!!

Z: …Very well, let’s do this ULTRA HEROICALLY!!!

Izuku(smiling): YOSH!!!

Izuku(as he stops close to the battle against Gigantomachia): Swallow the Darkness, Golden Storm!!!

Izuku(inserting the medals into the Z Riser): Master Zero! Geed Senpai! Belial!

Z Riser(as Izuku scans the medals): ZERO BEYOND!!! GEED!!! BELIAL ATROCIOUS!!!

Izuku(placing his arms at his sides as a bright flash of light appears behind him): Okay!

The light glows brightly and catches the attention of the various heroes and villains fighting, as Z makes himself known by appearing behind Izuku.

Kirishima(supporting Mina as they’re both tired from fighting against the giant villain): This is going to be so manly!

Mina(grinning with cuts across her face as the giant of light appears): YOU’RE IN BIG TROUBLE NOW YOU BIG BULLIES!!!

Ochaco, Eri and Inko stop and turn around as Z appears, the three of them smiling at the sight of the heroic Ultra.

Z(as he crosses his arms over his chest): I ask that you chant my name!

Gigantomachia(rushing towards the other giant): LIKE HELL I WILL!!!

Z(spreading his arms out as the evil giant charges towards him, undaunted): ULTRAMAN Z!!!

Izuku+Kirishima+Mina+Ochaco+Eri+Inko and Various Heroes and Civilians: ULTRAMAN Z~!!!

Izuku then presses the button on the Z Riser as Gigantomachia draws closer, beginning the merging process.

Z Riser: ULTRMAN Z, DELTA RISE CLAW!!!

A bright flash of light occurs as Gigantomachia throws a wild punch, only for the villain to find himself knocked back and off his feet as a new figure appears in a whirlwind of energy.

Eri smiles in joy at seeing her father and Mr Z being the heroes she knew they were.

Ochaco(smiling as Ultraman Z marches towards the giant member of the League of Villains): You got this Deku-kun!

Ultraman Z(in Izuku’s voice as he assumes a fighting stance before Gigantomachia): YOU’RE ULTRA FINISHED!!!

The villain gets back up with a roar and charges, while the Ultra warrior simply walks towards his opponent, as many around them, heroes and villains alike, simply watch in silent awe as the clash between giants is about to commence…

Author’s Note; This little idea has been stuck in my head ever since I watched the first two episodes of the “Ultraman Z English Dub”, and I personally love Ultraman Z’s costume designs and his bold cry of “I ask that you chant my name!” And his rise sequence looks incredible! I felt that Z’s story of being a relatively young Ultra who has to prove himself really matches Izuku’s own.

This is intended to be a One-Shot, but who knows, I might end up expanding upon this idea in the future.

Be sure to let my know what you guys thinks!

A redesign, and the final design of my Ultraman OC, Ultraman Zone. I will admit that his first design feeled a little slapped together, Really I was just copying the Tiga Dyna Gaia designs when I first made him, I'm much happier with this one!

Info: Zone's host comes from a rich family and is pretty spoiled guy, with his mother owning a large company. On the outside he seems perfectly content with coasting through life and perhaps taking up a job in his mom's company. But he's always deep down felt like he wanted to do something more with his life. When he is saved by a member of the defense team during a kaiju attack, he begins admiring the defense team's courage and sense of purpose. During the same attack he ends up merging with Ultraman Zone. Although he's not too keen on putting himself on the front lines, he decides to join the defense team (after being coaxed by Zone). He transforms into Ultraman Zone using the device on his wrist, The Zone Spacer.

Kaiju Week in Review (October 23-29, 2022)

Marvel published Ultraman: The Mystery of Ultraseven #3 (of 5) on Wednesday. Kaiju-Ultra combat dominates this one, with Hayata and Ultraman debating how to handle the out-of-control Ultraseven as well. I've fallen off with a lot of Ultra Series stuff, including the post-Z shows (hence Decker's absence from these reviews), but this reimagining of the classics continues to impress. Watch for the Pestar cameo!

Rumble has finally come to Blu-ray and DVD in the U.S. Made for theaters (the first trailer played before Sonic the Hedgehog) but banished to Paramount+ last December, this kaiju wrestling comedy went completely overlooked by genre fans. Maybe now it'll get its due. I quite enjoyed it—as a sports movie, it's pure formula, but as a monster movie it's something new. And yes, the wrestling organization has the same name as the old fanfic series on Godzilla Tower. I actually bought the artbook as prep for a podcast episode I recorded last year that never aired, so expect more posts on this one soon.

By the way, this is actually last week's news—I just didn't know about it until I found the DVD on a cart of new materials at my library.

Godzilla vs. Kong won the Saturn Award for Best Film Visual Effects, beating out a crowded field thanks to an almost two-year eligibility period. This is familiar territory for both monsters: Godzilla (1998) and King Kong (2005) were among the previous victors. Deserved over Top Gun: Maverick? Probably not, but I dunno why Maverick was one of the nominees to begin with. It was also nominated for Best Science Fiction Film, losing to Nope.

Varan won a remarkably intensive Godzilla Store poll earlier this year to become the next Movie Monster Series figure (Super Mechagodzilla placed second again after losing to Gorosaurus last year), and said figure has finally been revealed. It'll go on sale November 3. Other Godzilla Store-exclusive vinyls can be ordered through Buyee, so I expect this one will be too.

The upcoming CG short Godzilla vs. Gigan Rex is also getting MMS figures. No details yet that I could find, but since the film premieres November 3rd, I wouldn't be surprised if they dropped that day too.

Godzilla Battle Line is teasing Evangelion Unit 01 as the next new Battle Piece, a rare EvaGoji collaboration that won't require traveling to or importing from Japan to experience. That would cover three of the four films in the Shin series... can a giant Kamen Rider be far behind?

Godzilla's 68th birthday is next Thursday, and since reporting on all the U.S. tie-in screenings after the fact won't do anyone any good, I'm going to list them all now:

Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla - Limited release nationwide through Fathom Events; check if it's playing near you here

Godzilla (1954) - Alamo Drafthouse locations; will use Toho's 4K restoration

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974) - Roxy Cinema in NYC; 35mm print

Godzilla (1954); Rodan; Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster; The War of the Gargantuas - hosted by John Carpenter on various digital channels from November 3 to 6

Licensing International also has a list of all the non-film collaborations planned for that day. Nothing jumps out, to be honest, but I figured I'd include it.

But if you're like me and already have commitments that evening, why not check out @spacehunter-m's reconstruction of the 1956 German theatrical version of Godzilla instead? It premiered in West Germany just a few months after Godzilla, King of the Monsters! opened in the States, but it's actually based on the Japanese cut (just 13 minutes shorter). English subtitles are included.

Rima Matsuda as Yoko Nakashima in Episode 22 of Ultraman Z.

Been watching the English dubs on YouTube and I was already in love with this character because I love women who can kick my ass and pilot giant mechs...and then she showed up in this episode dressed like this.

It was only the fact that I was watching with my son that kept me from turning into a Tex Avery wolf, I tells ya.

Animation Night 103: Toshiki Hirano

Hi friends! It’s a Thursday, and I hope you know what that means by now~

Next week: the two year anniversary of Animation Night! I’m aiming to get a commenting system up on my blog by then and do some of the cleanup tasks for the Animation Night archive.

Now, you like Animation Night and want it (and various other creative projects) to continue, please forgive me for humbly passing around the Patreon hat. The next week or two I’m going to be working on illustrating, and then releasing, a certain RPG setting with all sorts of things I like such as jelly alchemists, weird gender shit, and early-modern body horror, and I’ll be keeping you posted on there.

Anyway, on to this week’s event: lesbian apocalyptic sci-fi mecha OVAs from the 1980s.

Tonight on Animation Night, I have two of the earliest ‘big’ OVAs, back from when the new format was still an open question, which both became cult classics: Megazone 23 and Fight! Iczer One. And this writeup, I’m indebted to Youtube user MercuryFalcon, who put together a 30-minute video about Iczer-1’s production, and even more so the blog aaltomies, who wrote this impressively detailed retrospective.

We’ll begin with the erotic manga magazine Lemon People, which I believe I first talked about back on Animation Night 69 (now in its proper place in the Animation Night archive!), and the mangaka Rei Aran (阿乱 霊). Despite the long shadow that Lemon People’s work cast over the evolution of anime and manga styles, and Aran being active at their strongest period, Aran remains barely known outside of his work on Iczer One. Aaltomies writes that Aran was prone to overworking, and as a consequence, most of his works - including Fight! Iczer-1 and Galaxy Police Patrizer-3 (the latter running from 1983 to 1993).

You can see some of Aran’s work at the link above. He was a self-taught artist, working his way up through dōjin groups before submitting work to Lemon People at the suggestion of his friend Hariken Ryu. but here’s a cover he drew for the issue of Lemon People in which Iczer 1 debuted:

The jump to OVA came via Hariken Ryu’s college friend, Toshihiro Hirano (who’d later change his first name to Toshiki), who in 1982 had been working on Macross (Animation Night 64). Having yakked sufficent de culture, Ryu, Hirano and many Macross animators announced in ‘83 they would adapt Ryu’s 1982 manga Gekisatsu Uchuken (Space Punch) for TV, but it fell through. Meeting Aran, Hirano instead started talking about adapting Iczer, perhaps as one of these new-fangled OVAs...

The OVA format was still very new in 1985, and even in the bubble economy (c.f. Animation Night 34). The ball was supposed to start rolling Mamoru Oshii’s Dallos (1983), but when it flopped, the idea was postponed and Hirano went to work on other projects like Megazone 23 (1985). Planned as a 12-episode TV anime, funding was pulled and Megazone came out instead as an OVA, where in contrast to Dallos, it proved wildly successful. Suddenly adapting Iczer was back on the table for AIC, who gave Hirano the choice of what to adapt; he chose Iczer, and the first episode released that very same year.

Hirano is one of the major sources of the look of 80s anime, and yet he was slow to come around to the medium. (Drawing now on another retrospective on him here). Born in the 50s, Hirano was initially dismissive of anime, seeing it as inferior to his beloved manga; he changed his mind after seeing Toei’s The Little Prince and the Eight-Headed Dragon (わんぱく王子の大蛇退治, Wanpaku Ōji no Orochi Taiji, 1963), which was I suppose you could say his sakuga awakening, but his biggest passion was tokusatsu, particularly Tōhō’s kaiju movies and TV series like Ultra Q and Ultraman. His interests drifted to Western movies, but he was pulled back in high school by the 70s era of tokusatsu (notably the original Kamen Rider) and early robot anime such as Mazinger Z.

This waxing and waning interest continued as he went to Tokyo Designer Gakuin College, falling in with a group of future mangaka including Hariken Ryu who shared his love for robots and toku. Still, it wasn’t as if he then ran straight for anime; he took a part-time job at Toei at university, drawing inbetweens for none other than Yoshinori Kanada (see Animation Night 62); he only gradually came around to working full-time at Toei.

As such, he is an artist whose passions are very straightforward: he wants to make stuff with the same feeling as tokusatsu; he likes drawing robots, superheroes, monsters and women he finds beautiful. He got his start at Toei only to find to his immense disappointment that he’d instead be working on a 200-episode historical series Ikiyu-san about a young Buddhist monk, which ran from ‘75 to ‘82. He absolutely hated the ~8 months he worked on this series, only finding relief drawing robots for Televi-kun magazine. Eventually he escaped to draw nigen [2nd key animation, aka tiedowns] of cars for a racing show Arrow Emblem: Hawk of the Grand Prix (1977) directed by Rintaro, which proved much more to his taste. This led him directly to work on Captain Harlock, drawing nigen for two episodes, particularly proud of his illustrations of the women antagonists in each. (Not sure if the following is one of Hirano’s...)

Next came inbetween checking on Farewell to Space Battleship Yamato (1978) - it’s notable that here Toei were already outsourcing douga (cleanup and inbetweens) to South Korea, and Hirano’s job here was to fix those drawings or even fully redraw scenes that weren’t up to standard. This is where we can join (drink) Matteo Watzky’s account of the period here, as Hirano finally left Toei to found studio Beebow with Tomonori Kogawa, working as a subcontractor mainly for Sunrise, particularly on Space Runaway Ideon (see: Animation Night 88). There, we started to see some real breakthroughs in drawing characters with solid 3D form; Watzky points to this cut from the Ideon followup film Be Invoked.

Following this, Hirano launched another new studio, called Io, and it’s here his work on Macross takes place. Hirano was very frustrated with the corners the anime had to cut, but here he started rising to prominence for his animation of Linn Minmay, off the back of which he became one of the animation directors for the Macross film Do You Remember Love (Animation Night 64), made an episode director debut in the foundational ero-anime series Cream Lemon (Animation Night 69). DYRL was followed for the Macross team by Megazone 23, pitched as a sci-fi series Omega City 23 that ended up awkwardly compressed into an OVA film after a troubled production, yet this all found unexpected success on the sheer strength of the animation and style - much of that being Hirano’s character designs. (Notably, this film also featured the key animation work of Hideaki Anno.) Which brings us back up to Iczer One...

So what’s it about? We’ll start with Iczer One. Let’s put it this way: in 1983, throwing around the word Cthulhu wasn’t nearly so stale as it is today. It’s packed full of indulgent ideas and things that someone like Hirano would like: women, robots, body horror... and he made it even more so, making it much more lesbian centric. As not just the director but also the character designer

The story begins with a catgirl called Iczer-One - this is a catgirl of the classical anime big hair mode - who wishes to fight aliens called the Cthulhu (no relation, I think) who are attempting to take over the Earth by implanting mind control parasites. When Iczer foils this plan, they escalate to full-on military invasion. To fight back, Iczer needs a suitable ‘synchronisation partner’ to pilot her mecha... which she finds in a Japanese schoolgirl called Nagisa. The battle against the aliens rapidly escalates, destroying much of the planet that Iczer wished to defend.

And Megazone 23? It’s set in a far-future city deep in space, locked in a war with a rival megazone. The government of the eponymous Megazone 23 launch a plan to hack the city’s governing AI, EVE, and force it to participate in the war. In the midst of this is Shōgo Yahagi, who gets pulled into a complicated intrigue which reveals that, surprisingly enough, the government is full of lies and his world is some kind of simulation. The first two parts of the OVA series, released in 1985 and 86, tell the story of what happens to Shōgo, while the third, released in 1989 under the direction of Ichiro Itano (yep! the missile circus guy!), takes place after a centuries long time skip during which time Shōgo has undergone a serious heel turn. whoops, I got this mixed up: Itano directed the second episode in 86, and actually that’s a really interesting story in its own right which I’ll address in a followup post!

The animation is absolutely spectacular: you can totally see that this is the same team that made Macross DYRL, and it’s full of the ideas of the Kanada school taken to an absurd level of polish - like just look at this background animation, how??

I will admit, these are absolutely on the more indulgent end of OVAs and probably not going to offer deep meditations on the human condition, but they’re also a fantastic window into a period when the craft of animation was going through some seriously rapid development. It really is hard to overstate the difference in animation of 1980 and 1983: the drawings are more convincingly physical, rich in detail, move better; effects animation has completely transformed; the complex camerawork of people like Itano has come in. Nothing would be the same after.

Hirano would go on to make many more OVAs and films, both as a director and key animator which I may well address in the future; he would later fall in with the realists and work on Roujin Z and Akira, and work on Itano’s gory 90s OVAs like Battle Royal High School. And although his 80s designs sensibility went out of fashion, he is still very active in the anime industry today, most recently directing a Netflix-backed adaptation of the Grappler Baki martial arts manga just last year! Which is wild, because he is almost 70 years old at this point.

So if that all sounds fun, please join me at 7pm UK time at our usual place, twitch.tv/canmom! In the meantime, I will hopefully soon be live with some drawing of my own.
