Random thoughts about the Ultraman series... probably sparked from that thread in KRDL forums. I think it was from someone saying that... the recent Ultraman series more or less rehashed the same old ideas thus the lack of interest in fansubs picking it up. Imma like... riiiiiiight.
As if Kamen Rider and Super Sentai series don't do that so often. XD
Truthfully... to me, Ultraman series was kinda like the who-verse. Yeah... the basic concept was generally the same--Monsters started appearing on Earth, some special taskforce was formed to battle them... while not being so successful until an Ultran appear. Of which a young member of the taskforce (or some normal civillian with brave hearts) will end up becoming an Ultran and save the day. You'd get different monsters in every episodes... but occasionally some of the old monsters (suits) get to reappear in the new series. (Like Eleking, Gomora, Red King.... Pigmon. Same like the Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans...) Of which... truthfully, is not bad at all~
Because despite the similar premises, the plots are not exactly the same. Have to say the same with KR and SS. And that is fine.
( Kinda spoilerish... I suposed. Touching some of the important plotlines after all. )
