1. Ultra Q The very first black-and-white movie was Ultra Q, without Ultraman, but a landmark work by director Eiji Roundtree.
The godlike director, who was involved in the creation of Godzilla, portrayed the legend of mankind relying on their own strength and intelligence to battle alien monsters in this film. There are no giganticized heroes, but it's full of human portrayals, and it's actually stronger in that regard than the later Otter series TV shows, so it's still as classic as ever, even from 1965.
In 1965, director Eiji Roundtree, known as the "God of Special Effects," made the special effects series Otter Q. The 30-minute, black-and-white episodes of the series are in black and white. The 30-minute black-and-white movie creatively introduced a new monster or freak in each episode, which immediately gave the Japanese audience a new feeling.
Because in Japan at the time, special features were limited to movie theaters, and special features came out almost every other year, and special features were just starting to take off in Japan. How could it not be a sensation to see a brand new episode of monster TV on TV every week? Ultra Q was an unprecedented success! The entire story is centered around the theme of "monstrous events occurring frequently due to an imbalance in the natural world".
One of the most unique things about the series is that it doesn't feature a giant hero, in other words, no Ultraman warriors. There are all sorts of monsters in the movie, but it's up to the humans themselves to deal with them, handle the mysteries, or solve the mysteries.
2. Ultraman (the first generation) Ultra Q's popularity set off a special ***, and Round Valley earned its first real bucket of gold through it. So, director Eiji Round Valley decided to continue to fuel, and Tetsuo Kaneshiro discussed with the birth of an extremely great idea - to create a brand new hero to act as a savior, and strengthen the combat power of the monster cosmonauts, set the monster attack team.
And so, a great era dawned, and our Ultraman was born! He doesn't have a specific name, but we affectionately call him Primordial. 1966 saw the start of Ultraman, kicking off the 45-year long history of the Ultraman franchise.
In 1966, a special episode was, well, pretty expensive to produce. In particular, the scenes of the first Ultraman dueling with monsters, with models, stunts, and sets, cost a fortune.
After the duel, the props were destroyed and could not be reused. So the production company created a three-minute time limit to keep expenses in check.
This is the reason why Ultraman has a "three-minute time limit for fighting" ~ ~ ~ ~ Later, although the financial situation improved, but this tradition has been used to this day. Also, the first generation's holsters were pretty rough, and there was a serious lack of funding for them.
The jacket of the first set of Hatsune Miku was actually a wetsuit conversion, so we can see that Hatsune Miku's face is collapsed, because of the different air pressures inside and outside. You can imagine what a tragedy the level of technology was in 1966, with no greenbacks, no computerized CG, all handmade props and a wetsuit-modified holster, all of which make the first-generation Ultraman look rough now.
Also because of this particular background, the first generation of Ultraman has an extremely special place: there are three kinds of styling (holsters), which are constantly changing as the technology improves. (Perhaps the improvements started to be made because of audience feedback.) These three looks are known as A-type face, B-type face, and C-type face.
A Type - The original version, remodeled from a diving suit, the Ultraman face wasn't very good. But because it's a classic, it reappeared in decades of nostalgic theatrical releases.
B Type - debuted in the 14th episode of the first generation, and as you can see, the workmanship is an improvement over the A Type. C Type - The final look, first appeared in episode 30.
A lot of the monster cosmonauts in the first generation are based on Otter Q, such as the Baltanians, Pimon, etc., and there's also the recycling of the holsters. Of course, Godzilla makes a cameo.
Godzilla just added the scarf, but miserably, it was also ripped off by the first generation (so vicious), and that Dr. Weird was a reminder of how science really can be the one thing that makes a person incredibly crazy. In addition, the holster actor's name is "Toshi Furuya", and because he's so tall, Hatsuneo fights hunched over a lot of the time.
He also played a member of the Ultramarines' Amagi team in Saiwen Ultraman. 3. Saiwen Next up on the scene is Saiwen.
However, the original intention was not Ultraman, because the title of the movie is Ultra Seven, not Ultraman, and because of the parallel worldview with the first generation, there is no first generation in the show, Zofie fought side by side.
There is also the story of the battle of wits, so the story of Ultraman fighting monsters in the first generation is complicated, it's great, I actually thought that was no less than a movie the first time I watched it, it's so good!!!! There are very few fight scenes, but the story is the essence! It's very visceral and deep, Severn is by far the greatest work I've ever seen, bar none! It's a shame that the audience at the time was too young to understand it (now they look back and realize it was such a great work!) I haven't finished typing the Severn part yet. I'm so tired, so I'll type it here first, and I'll type it again if the owner likes it.
My information is much of the previous reference, but after their own absorption of the rest is still very essence of the content of the whole hand, so if you like me to continue to complete.

Ultraman is a towering giant in the eyes of ordinary people, like a god, but they are nothing more than ordinary people to their own race, their own planet. The super-evolution brought them a perfect life form, but also made them bear a heavy historical responsibility, driven by this sense of historical responsibility, the footprints of the Giants of Light all over the universe, and among them there are so many giants, they came to the Earth where we are, and slacked off criticized the universe's most wonderful and most elusive life form - human beings.
Introduction: Ultraman, the official translation outside of mainland China, Hong Kong and Macao - Superman, Taiwan - early and now translated as "Ethel Ultraman"; once translated as "salty Superman", the latter is generally insulting. The company produced by the Japanese Round Valley, with Ultraman as the target of new creative development, in 1965, Round Valley's 28 episodes of the special television film "Ultra Q" in Japan TBS caused a huge sensation, the first president of the Round Valley Corporation, the famous god of special features, director Eiji Round Valley decided to release a new series, and so the science of the fantasy special "cosmic heroes of Ultraman" began to broadcast weekly on the TBS primetime! .
After the Otter Q geared towards colorization. The origin of monsters is Ultra Q and the origin of Ultraman is this work.
As the originator of the series, his glory will never fade. Baltan, who first appeared in this work, is even more popular within the cosmic people! That's why he appeared in all the later Ultraman works! Also, the entire team was not named until the 1996 theatrical release of "Awaken! Ultraman" in 1996 theater version of the full name, has a long history of 45 years.
Fourth, the names of all the Ultraman videosUltraman genealogy series of important points in time points event 1965 "Ultra Q" No giant heroes, mainly people and monsters, is usually considered to be the pilot of the Round Valley special.
1966 "Cosmic Heroes Ultraman" The first appearance of a giant hero figure, Ultraman, makes his debut. It can be considered the beginning of the Ultraman series.
1967 "Severn Ultraman" Very classic, considered to be very realistic, but that does not prevent its epic status in the Ultraman series. 1971 "Jack Ultraman" The new hero that debuted after a 4 year hiatus for New Ultraman was initially called the Returned Ultraman (Neo-Man).
It wasn't until the '80s movie Ultraman that the name "Jack" was given. 1972 Ace Ultraman Based on Jack's concept of the Ultraman brothers, the concept of a two-person transformation was first introduced to the human body.
1973 Terra Ultraman A commemorative work for the 10th anniversary of the founding of Round Valley. 1974 "Reo Ultraman" The first time a fighter was designed that wasn't from the M78 Nebula.
But the horror and sadness of the filming, as well as the radical change in plot, made it uncomfortable for viewers, so it received poor ratings in Japan, and put an end to Roundtree's previous success. 1979 Jonas Ultraman Roundtree's first animated version of Ultraman.
1980 Eldritch Ultraman symbolized the end of Ultraman's Showa series. 1990 1990's Grey Ultraman and 1993's Parvat Ultraman were the first Ultraman TV series to be produced in Australia and the United States, respectively.

Because the ratings were so low, Roundabout changed the planned 50 episodes to 37 to save money, so as not to repeat the tragedy of '74, when the company was on the verge of bankruptcy after the broadcast of Reo, and thus destroying the consistency of the show.
2006 Mombius Ultraman & Ultraman Brothers 40th Anniversary Theater Edition, Mombius and Ultraman Brothers appear one by one 2007 Saiwen Ultraman X 40th Anniversary of Saiwen, but in Japan is placed in the midnight hour, the plot is more obscure and dark. 2008 "Armageddon!
