A Shin Japan Heroes Universe animation Bandai released to announce a vague "new item project." Posted on April 1, for what it's worth, but there's nothing that really indicates it's a prank.

Poor Kamen Rider, he's definitely the Hawkeye of the team.

“I want to leave this body to the humans of tomorrow.”

Been sitting on this for a while. Shin Ultraman touched me in a way that I don’t think any other film ever has or will and for that reason I poured every bit of passion I could muster into this piece. Seriously adore this film.

I watched shin ultraman a few days ago i haven't stopped thinking about it I've listened to m87 nonstop my feelings about shin Ultraman is so deep that i can't find the right words to say everything but this is the gist of it it's just so *clutches chest* special to me

#ultraman #shin ultraman #To be fair im not normal about my hyperfixations #im 110% into it so i might be overselling it BUT id still recommend it for others #doesn't matter if you're not ultraman fan it's a wonderful story #chipsays #the way they focus on side character in the beginning really sells the mystery of ultraman. like he's really is an alien #he doesn't need to protect humans but he chose to do so!!! even when others disagree!! #im emotional!!!!

Getting more context behind Anno's reasoning for cutting the Shingoji puppet from Shin Godzilla feels like really interesting insight into how specific he wanted the visuals of the Shin cycle, and a pretty fascinating demonstration of the paradox of he and Higuchi's special effects in those movies. I've described the Shin cycle's effects before as "pretentiously (affectionate) recapturing the Showa uncanny with purely digital means." Obsessive, perfectionist recreations of artifice and practicality through motion capture and CG animation.

Shingoji is animated and textured like he is made of rubber and as if he is rendered through practical means, limitations and all, yet Anno disliked the limitations of the practical rubber puppet. Shin Ultraman used an actual Neronga suit in its motion capture for completely CG animated kaiju. Zoffy's mask is a perfect 3-D scan of Ultraman Jack's asymmetrical mask. Shin Kamen Rider's recreation of the original show's look and effects is some of the most painstakingly digital magic trickery and post-production work I've ever seen in a movie of its like (the BTS videos are absolutely fascinating, highly recommend watching them).

I adore the special effects of all the Shin movies. I think Shin Godzilla looks fucking incredible, powerfully striking and uncannily creepy imagery, and nothing else on Earth looks remotely like Shin Ultraman. The animators and staff across the board did phenomenal work, and I think Anno and Higuchi's approach to CG, clearly understanding the uncanny artifice all its own, is a pretty brilliant understanding of the animation form over any sense of "better realism." The Shin movies are just a consistency loud and fresh grand statement on special effects as a medium.

However, it's hard to shake the notion that cutting that Shingoji puppet was something of a death knell for traditional Tokusatsu in Godzilla movies? Anno and Higuchi's paradoxical clear love and expertise for the classic special effects vs their execution and chosen expression of that love. It's just interesting to me, y'know?

And despite Godzilla Minus One's incredible success and the joy at its special effects being so lauded, it's hard to shake the notion that a more pretentious showcase of traditional suits and sets would have been nowhere near as well received. So much positive buzz for Minus One puts down so many of the other movies, unfairly and reductively, and I've seen a lot of that energy directed at the special effects. Minus One's realization and look should be praised alongside the special effects work or Invasion of Astro-Monster and Godzilla vs Biollante, not used to shit on them.

Just things rolling in my head lately.

#Shin Godzilla #Shin Ultraman #Shin Kamen Rider #Hideaki Anno #Shinji Higuchi #Godzilla Minus One #Takashi Yamazaki #when Minus One's available digitally and I can take screenshots I'm gonna make a post about how eerily similar he is to Shingoji's uncanny #despite being more outwardly expressive #they're both so similar to each other in very creepy ways it's interesting. That's neither here nor there.

Hi I just found your blog and my dad got me into Ultraman via the 1966 show so I am in Blorbo Heaven rn despite not knowing who any of these other guys are, I gotta wonder, have you seen the Shin Ultraman movie yet? :0

Helloooo! Thanks for checking out my blog!!

I have watched Shin Ultraman! I thought it was a decent movie and a fresh take on a near 60-year franchise. I do plan on making fanart of it soon, but this is all I have for now:

No worries about not knowing who any of them are yet, but I promise you every single one of those Ultras are blorbo material who just happen to be walking sources of light. Here are some of my personal favourites:

Enjoy Ultraman!
