Eiji Round Valley is the director of the Japanese special effects industry known as "God", Toho special effects company shooting the world-famous special effects movie "Godzilla" is his masterpiece. After the founding of the company, Eiji Roundtree decided to invest in the "Imagination Feature Series". Thus, the first movie of the company, "Ultra Q" was born.
The main idea of "Ultra Q" is that human beings rely on their own strength to solve all kinds of strange events and eliminate the enemies that invade the Earth, so there are no giant heroes in this work, and human beings play the main role.
Auto-Q was a huge sensation and unprecedented success in Japan after its release, and based on this, Roundabout decided to build on its success with a second installment.
While planning, Eiji Roundtree decided to shake up the story by adding heroes from outside of Earth that, in "Ultra Q," were not present. It was with this in mind that Roundtree put all of its efforts into designing a giant hero that would be different from the humans, and after much research, the new hero's name was finally decided on as "Ultraman". And so, the first Ultraman as we know it was born.
Eiji Roundtree put a great deal of effort into this work, because it was the first to feature a hero other than a human. As such, Eiji Roundtree personally supervised this work. Thus, the first Ultraman series was born, and on July 17, 1966, the first episode was released on TBS in Japan.
Because of Round Valley's serious lack of funds at the time, coupled with the use of props are disposable, so the director had no choice but to design the Ultraman due to injuries, the only way to merge with the Earthlings, in order to survive on Earth, and after the transformation can only fight for three minutes of the plot. And this classic plot has been used until now.
"Ultraman Junior" made a huge splash again after its release, even surpassing its predecessor "Ultra Q". The "Ultraman vs. Monsters" episode was a favorite among children, and the ratings reached record highs, with the 37th episode reaching 42.8%.
When he made "Ultraman Prime", Eiji Roundtree had no idea that it would be the beginning of a classic that would last for decades and span two centuries. At the time, the concept of the "Ultraman Brothers" was not considered at all, let alone Ultraman as a series, so when planning the second installment, "Severn Ultraman," Eiji Roundtree adopted a completely different worldview from that of "Ultraman Junior".
In 1967, after the release of "Primeval Ultraman" had finished, Eiji Roundtree decided to capitalize on this unprecedented surge by making a third installment. In the initial setup, Eiji Roundtree didn't intend for this to be categorized as an Ultraman series, but rather as a new special feature with a plotline in which the protagonist's mother was an Earthling. But in the end, Eiji Roundtree decided to simplify the story and categorize it under the Ultraman series, resulting in the classic "Severn Ultraman," which spans two centuries.
In terms of the protagonist's setting, the biggest difference between Saiwen Ultraman and the first Ultraman is that instead of merging with an Earthling, Saiwen takes the original form of a brave young man who changes from his body directly into a human being, and there's no limit to the amount of time he can fight after his transformation, which is why there's no energy indicator on Saiwen's chest.
The three-minute time limit was a no-brainer in 1966, and had to be done because of a severe lack of funding. By 1967, when "Severn Ultraman" was filmed, Roundabout was flush with cash, so the energy indicator was discarded in the design of Severn's image. However, as the episodes continued to air, letters continued to come in from viewers strongly urging that the three-minute energy limit be added back as being exciting enough. But since 10 episodes had already been aired by then, Saiwen's image could no longer be changed. The director had no choice but to change the light lamp on Saevon's head, to an energy indicator.
The storyline of "Saiwen Ultraman" has changed a lot compared to its predecessor, "Ultraman Prime", and is no longer the simple "Ultraman vs. Monster" storyline of "Ultraman Prime", but more of a reflection of the various conflicts between humans and invaders. In this work, although sometimes the human beings are violated by the enemy, but at the same time, the human beings themselves are not blameless.
In this way, Severn is left with a dilemma. Of course, the fundamental thread of this work is ultimately the battle between good and evil between humans and invaders. And, because "Saiwen Ultraman" adopts a completely different worldview from "Primeval Ultraman," only one hero, Saiwen Ultraman, has appeared in "Saiwen Ultraman" since the beginning, and the protagonist of the previous work, Primeval Ultraman, has not appeared once.
Eiji Roundtree put much more effort into this work than his predecessor, "Ultraman Primeval," but Japanese viewers didn't seem to appreciate it, with ratings fluctuating up and down to 20 percent, and at one point, at its lowest, even dropping below 15 percent. The reason is that for children, the plot of "Saiwen Ultraman" is much deeper than that of "Primeval Ultraman", and the young ones simply won't, and can't possibly, go into detail, plus the fight scenes in "Saiwen Ultraman" are so few compared to those in "Primeval Ultraman" that they're practically non-existent. Under these circumstances, it's not surprising that the ratings for "Severn Ultraman" would be so low.
Faced with the already irreparable fiasco of "Severn Ultraman," Eiji Roundtree broke his heart and was even pessimistic that this was the last Ultraman series. However, in the spirit of dedication, Round Valley Eiji still want to draw a successful conclusion for "Severn Ultraman". So he put aside his other work and put all his energy and passion into writing the final script for Saiwen Ultraman. To this day, the grand finale of "Severn Ultraman" remains the best in the minds of Ultraman-loving viewers in Europe, America, Southeast Asia, and even around the world. And the star of this work - Moriji Koji - has since become popular in the Japanese special photography industry, which I'm afraid that Roundtree and Moriji himself could not have imagined at that time in any case.
After the run of Severn Ultraman ended, Eiji Roundtree went on to make other types of feature films, and the Ultraman series went cold for three years.
On January 25, 1970, Eiji Roundtree died at the age of 69 after a long illness. One of Japan's biggest stars in the world of special effects had fallen.
In 1971, to commemorate the first anniversary of Eiji Roundtree's death, Roundtree decided to release a new work in his honor. Because the first Ultraman series made by Eiji Roundtree was "The First Ultraman", the new work was named "The Returning Ultraman", and even the image of the protagonist of this work was parodied in the original form of the first Ultraman, with the two heroes looking almost identical.
On April 2, 1971, the first episode of Return of Ultraman was released on TBS in Japan.
The birth of this new work broke the three-year silence of the Ultraman series and brought great joy to Japanese children once again! And from that day on, the Ultraman series was continuously released for four years, arguably the longest continuous release.
Since the new installment is titled "Return of Ultraman," it has to be connected to "Ultraman Prime. So for the first half of the work, the same worldview as that of "First Generation Ultraman" was adopted, and the setting of the new protagonist became that of a new hero who returns to Earth again, many years after First Generation Ultraman left the planet. In the 18th episode, the setting of Saiwen's appearance was added, thus linking the three works together, and the worldview of Saiwen Ultraman, from being completely independent at first, was merged into a worldview linked to that of Primordial Ultraman and Returning Ultraman. Later, in an attempt to salvage the ratings, Hatsune Mikoto and Saiwen make another appearance in the 38th episode. Saiwen's two appearances in this work are a good indication of its worldview, which is now fully connected to the Hatsuyo Ultraman and Returned Ultraman, and is no longer the completely separate setting it was initially set up to be. As a result, Severn Ultraman became more and more famous, appearing in every subsequent installment. In the final words of Return of the Ultraman, the term, Ultraman Brothers, is mentioned for the first time! It's safe to say that by the end of Return of the Ultraman, the concept of the Ultraman brothers had taken shape! The first Ultraman, Severn Ultraman, and Return of the Ultraman are thus known as the "Showa Trilogy"!
Note: Because Round Valley didn't name Ultraman Hatsune Miku and Ultraman Returns is a commemoration of Ultraman Hatsune Miku, the main character of this work didn't have an official name for more than 20 years after the release of Ultraman Returns, and was affectionately referred to as "Shin Megami Tensei" by viewers throughout this long period. He was affectionately called "New Ultraman" by the audience during this long period of time. It wasn't until more than 20 years later, in the late 1980s, that Elements gave the main character of Return of Ultraman an official name, titled Jack Ultraman.
After the release of "Return of Ultraman" ended in 1972, Round Valley never expected the growing response from viewers across the country and the clamor for a sequel. As a result, they decided to continue making new works using the concept of the "Ultraman Brothers" that had already taken shape in "Return of Ultraman". Thus, the first work after the official launch of the "Ultraman Brothers" concept, "Ace Ultraman" was born!
The birth of "Ultraman" was extremely significant. In this work, the concept of "Ultraman" was officially launched, linking this work with the previous three works, and the worldview of "Ultraman" took shape. From the beginning of this work, the Ultramarines made several appearances, in contrast to the previous three works, where the protagonists had been fighting alone. And in this work, the first, first appearance of a new character, the Father of Otter, was born.
In 1973, it coincided with the 10th anniversary of the founding of Round Valley. As a result, Round Valley decided to make a work with new commemorative significance. Thus, "Terra Ultraman", a collection of Ultraman series from the Showa period, was born.
Tyro, the protagonist of "Terra Ultraman," is the first protagonist ever to have biological parents. The four previous protagonists, Primordial Ultraman, Severn Ultraman, Returned Ultraman, and Ace Ultraman, were all orphans with unknown parents. Therefore, as a "Terra Ultraman" with biological parents appearing, its style is light-hearted and humorous, of course, there is no lack of some cruel plots, such as the volcano monster bird - Barton, who appeared in the 17th, 18th and 19th words, is a typical example. The plot of the Otter brothers' multiple appearances reaches its peak in this installment, and gives birth to the second new character to make her first appearance, the Mother of Otter, after the Father of Otter.
The year 1974, after the release of Terra Ultraman, coincided with the nationwide airing of the movie "Sinking of Japan," which featured a storyline that was as bleak as it was tragic. Under the influence of this general atmosphere, Roundabout's second greatly innovative Ultraman series after Severn Ultraman, Reo Ultraman, was born.
Contrary to the light-hearted and humorous style of its predecessor, "Terra Ultraman," "Reo Ultraman" is tragic and bleak, all of which was inspired by the influence of "Sinking of Japan. The plot of the 1st and 2nd story, on the other hand, is a true reflection of The Sinking of Japan. Unlike the previous film, "Terra Ultraman", in which Terra's real parents appeared, "Reo Ultraman" features Reo, whose real parents were killed at the beginning and whose hometown was destroyed by the Magmars, leaving Reo an orphan, a stark contrast between the two works. In order to emphasize Leo's sadness, his birthplace was changed from the M78 Nebula's Star of Ultramarines to the L77 Nebula in Leo, which no longer exists. Moreover, the protagonist of Saven Ultraman, Saven, was crippled by a monster and lost his right leg, and lost his ability to transform, so he could only fight as the main character of Saven Ultraman, the Cluster of Stars. The battle team in this movie, the MAC Cosmic Scout Team, is the only one that has its headquarters outside of the atmosphere, and unlike previous battle teams, the MAC team is the only one in the world, not to mention having some kind of headquarters in Paris/New York. Unlike in Ace Ultraman and Terra Ultraman, where the Ultraman Brothers made multiple appearances, the Ultraman Brothers are virtually absent from Reo Ultraman, with the only appearances coming in the 38th and 39th verses.
Note: The main theme of "Reo Ultraman" is that through Reo's efforts of self-improvement, he can step by step improve his fighting power and eventually grow into a powerful Ultraman warrior. That's why there is a special training program for the main character, which is not found in previous works. Therefore, it was important to pick a good captain for this movie. In this regard, Roundabout specifically invited Koji Moriji, who starred as the main character of "Severn Ultraman", the Jusei Cluster, to play this role. Although Mr. Moriji agreed, he also made a request to change the name of the original MAC captain from "Kawakami Tetsutaro" to "Jushindan" because Mr. Moriji's Jushindan was already very popular and had a very high status in the minds of the audience. Moreover, Mr. Moriji had sworn that he would only play the role of the Stars in the Ultraman series, and would not consider any other roles. Without hesitation, Roundtree agreed to Mr. Moriji's request, because with Mr. Moriji, "Reo Ultraman" added a great highlight. With that, the name of the MAC captain changed from the original Tetsutaro Kawakami, to the Jushin Mission, who used to serve in the Ultraman Police. With that, Saiwen Ultraman, who had once joined the Ultramarines and had made outstanding contributions to the defense of Earth, once again took on the responsibility of defending the Earth, living there for the second time for a long time, and was promoted to the position of MAC Captain! But because the protagonist is Leo, it is destined to be a grueling fate that Saiwen can't transform in this movie.
Not only that, but the beginning of this movie is also unique:
The long-sworded tyrant Magma led the Twin Monsters to destroy the Leo L77 Nebula, Leo's family was killed, and only Leo was able to escape from the entire L77 Nebula. In order to escape from the Magma people's pursuit, Leo traveled to Earth, and transformed into a young man named Feng Yuan, who lived in seclusion in Japan. However, in order to eliminate the root of the vicious Magmarians, even led the Twin Monsters chased to the Earth, and commanded the Twin Monsters in Tokyo Bay to wreak havoc, attempting to sink the Japanese islands to the bottom of the sea. In order to save the Earth's crisis, the Star Corps, who has been promoted to the rank of MAC captain, immediately transforms into a battle, but loses miserably under the absolute disadvantage of 1 to 3, and his right leg is broken, so he can't continue to fight. At the critical moment, Leo senses the change in Tokyo Bay and turns into a red ball of light and arrives in time to save Saevon, who is already in a desperate situation, and temporarily drives away the Magmarians and the Twin Monsters. Reo transforms back into Phoenix Gen and rescues the Stars of the Regiment, who is unconscious due to a severe injury to his right leg. Fengyuan tells the Corps about his life, and the Corps then asks Fengyuan to join the MAC team, which Fengyuan doesn't understand, believing that Saiwen's power is enough. The team leader tells Feng Yuan that Saevon no longer exists. It turns out that Sai Wen has lost his ability to transform because his right leg was too badly injured. Seeing the plight of the troupe, Feng Yuan finally agrees to join Team MAC. With that, the story of "Reo Ultraman" began ......
And Reo was very different from previous Ultramans, rarely using his light skills in battle, and almost always using his fists and feet to settle his enemies. This caused a significant drop in ratings, as the transformation of "Reo Ultraman" was too big and sudden compared to its predecessors, causing many viewers to be unable to accept it in the short term. In order to save the ratings from falling, Round Valley tried their best to create two new characters - Astra, Leo's own brother, and the legendary hero, the King of the Ultras - and then arranged for Susumu Kurobe, who played the main character in the first Ultraman, to work with Fujitsu to create a new character, Susumu Kurobe. -- Susumu Kurobe, with Hiroko Sakurai, who plays Akiko Fuji, Yuriko Hishimi, who plays Tomori Annu in Severn Ultraman, and Yuriko Hishimi, who plays the main character in Return of the Ultraman The main character's character, Tuanjiro, and Yuriko's character, Mika Katsuragi, make cameo appearances, and then, in the 38th and 39th episodes, they write the thrilling "Ultraman Brothers Vs. Then, in the 38th and 39th episodes, the thrilling "Otto Brothers vs. But it all proved to be an exercise in futility!
The "Disc Creature" series, which began in the 40th episode, was an even bigger failure! In the 40th episode, the MAC headquarters was destroyed, and the death of the Star Corps was unknown, which was a huge failure. This is the only time this has ever happened in the Showa series.
In the face of this failure, Round Valley had no choice but to cancel the work. However, the time has come and gone, and to this day, Rayo Ultraman has finally been vindicated and recognized by Round Valley once again.
In 1975, after the release of Reo Ultraman, the Ultraman series once again entered a period of silence, during which the Japanese special effects market was monopolized by Toei's Masked Warriors and Masked Superman.
In 1980, five long years after the end of the Reo Ultraman releases, Roundabout finally threw out its final trump card, and the last TV version of the Showa era, Edi Ultraman. Influenced by the teacher-themed movies and TV shows of the time, the main character of "Edi Ultraman" was set as a middle school teacher, while referencing many episodes from her life. Moreover, "Edie Ultraman" features the largest number of teenagers ever, all of whom are students of the main character. But from the 13th episode onwards, these teenagers are nowhere to be found, and the main character's middle school disappeared from the audience's sight at the same time. Since we were already in the 80s, the special effects in Aidi Ultraman were greatly improved compared to the previous installments. In the later installments of this work, the second female Ultraman after the Mother of Ultras, Princess Iulian of the UltraStar, appears. She takes on a human form and fights with the main character until the end. In the final words, Edie and Ullian left Earth in peace, watched by their comrades.
On March 25, 1981, the final episode of Edie Ultraman was released. After this, the Ultraman series entered a period of silence for the third time, and this time it was much longer, from three years the first time, to five years the second time, and a surprising fifteen years the third time. The Showa years of the Ultraman series were thus brought to a successful conclusion for the TV version of the series.
Let's remember the late father of Ultraman, Eiji Roundtree.
After the start of "Reo Ultraman," the new president was Round Valley I's younger brother, Round Valley Gauntlet. This president was the best "seller" in the history of Roundtree, and Ultraman was sold many times while he was in charge of Roundtree, and China saw Ultraman in 1993. China also saw Ultraman in 1993. In other countries, Ultraman was also very popular. Consequently, Japan reached the Heisei era, and Ultraman began to sprout back up. Roundabout authorized foreign companies to produce legitimate overseas versions of Ultraman. These were also the ones that received a better response from fans. 1990 saw the production of ULTRAMAN GREAT in Australia, and in 1995 a new one was produced in the US, with the protagonist once again coming from the M78 Nebula, but with a still different worldview from the Showa line. This work is Pavard Ultraman (ULTRAMAN POWERD).
Roundtree rarely makes Ultraman anymore, but has instead introduced the Ultraman series abroad many times, and it was in 1993 that we in China saw Ultraman, and in 1995, Shanghai Roundtree Productions was founded.
In 1996, it was the 30th anniversary of the Ultraman series, after making the movie "Jaaz Ultraman", Round Valley tried to make a new Ultraman series TV, but almost no TV station was willing to show Ultraman anymore, but Mr. Kazuo Round Valley was always persistent, and sent MBS a new project "Deja Ultraman". As a result, Ultraman returned to the public's attention once again! MBS also broadcast five consecutive Ultraman movies.
The return after 16 years was extremely moving for FANS. Compared to the Showa Ultraman, the graphics are almost perfect, and the new world setting brings back the emotion of the first Ultraman. In Japan, many fans compare Deja to a great work that surpasses the first Ultraman and Saijin, which shows its status in the whole series. Takaomi Yoshimoto, the daughter of Genji Ultraman star Susumu Kurobe, also became a topic of conversation for a while with her appearance in the show.
In 1997, "Deja Ultraman" was released, and a new Ultraman, Daiko, appeared before the eyes of FANS!
The story of Dinah takes place 10 years after Deja, when Super GUTS team member Noboru Hidetora encounters a monster in the universe, and just as he is struggling to fight, but is in a desperate situation due to his lack of strength, a miracle occurs, and in a burst of light, he transforms into Dinah Ultraman!
Dana can be regarded as a sequel to Deja, due to technological advances, the stage in Dana is more ambitious than that of Deja, and the theatrical version of "Deja Ultraman & Dana Ultraman - Warriors of the Star of Light" was later released to link the two works together. games, a relatively rare treatment among Ultraman in recent years.
In 1998, Roundabout threw in the Heisei trilogy finale, Gaia Ultraman!
The biggest change in "Gaia Ultraman", the grand finale of the series, was the appearance of "Gaia and Aguju", two rival human Ultramans who were both born on Earth. Of course, their battle scenes are unprecedented. At the same time, their opposing viewpoints are maintained throughout the entire series, making it possible for the series to be set up as a continuous drama, rather than as separate episodes. This is a huge step forward for the series. With all the dissonance between Gaia and Aguju, and later coming together to defend the Earth and humanity against the Breaking Invocation Body, this is the author's best work of the Heisei trilogy.
Thanks to the Heisei trilogy, which brought new life to Ultraman!
The Ultraman series seems to be on its last legs, as the company's finances are failing and it's in a very difficult situation.......
First, we'll introduce "Gauss Ultraman".
The latest installment in the Ultraman series, "Gauss Ultraman," comes two years after the three installments
Gauss Ultraman not only appeared in 2001, the 35th anniversary of Ultraman's birth, but also aired on the same day as the 100th anniversary of the birth of the supervisor, Eiji Tsuburaya, which was the same day as the broadcast--July 7, the 100th anniversary of the birth of Eiji Tsuburaya's supervisor! And Gauss's theatrical version 1-"The First Contact" was released two weeks after the TV version! ***62 words with 3 movies.
It was also stated above that the TV version of Gauss Ultraman was all 62 episodes, but it is correct that only 60 episodes of the TV version aired, and 2 of those episodes were for each of the two special omnibus episodes. But actually the TV version was originally scheduled to have 65 episodes ....
After the release of 49 episodes at the time, Gauss Ultraman was temporarily aired for a while (49 episodes aired on June 8, with 16 episodes still to be aired at the time). After that, two special episodes were shown, and it wasn't until July 20th that it was shown again. The re-airing also made some adjustments: the 16 remaining episodes in the previously announced playlist were shortened to 11 episodes, 5 of which will not be aired, which is why only 60 episodes were aired in the TV version. Personally, I think it's because Gauss Ultraman's run was too long, so 5 episodes were cut, but when Hong Kong aired Gauss, even the 5 episodes that were cut were aired
After Gauss's 49th episode, the show went off the air for a while due to Shippo's arrest, and a few weeks after the show went off the air, a "Special Episode" with Shippo's scenes deleted was released. A few weeks after the suspension, a "Special Episode" was released with Shippo's scenes deleted. The main reason for the release of the "Special Episode" was not only to appease the viewers, but also for some other purposes...
1. If Shippo gets sued, the two episodes can be viewed as the finale of the tv version.
2. And since it's called a "Special Episode", it can be repeated in 49 episodes if the tv version is re-run.
But the good news is that Shippo wasn't prosecuted in the end, so the tv version is back on the air. ........
In the time that Gauss Ultraman was off the air, the society decided to make a new Ultraman, and the 2000 OVA Naios Ultraman was aired. But after only 2 episodes, Shiranui bailed out and Gauss was re-aired. So 12 words were filmed and viewed as an OVA. But I'd still like to point out that Naios is the first M78 Nebula hero fighter in the Heisei series of original Ultraman. (OVA means straight to disc without airing on TV) During this time, the funding for Round Valley Co. was also very stable, but since the re-runs of Gauss Ultraman, the funding conflicts have been intensifying.
The 2004 release of the TV version of "Nexus Ultraman" intensified the crisis for Round Valley Co. This was the first time that Round Valley had partnered with CBC TV. Though many people have criticized this movie and called it an excellent work, Japanese children didn't buy it. The plot was dark and adultized, and children did not understand it. The original 50-word series was cut down to 37 words. In fact, before the ending, Roundabout decided on the downsizing plan and had already begun work on a new work, Max Ottoman, with a teaser trailer released for the final few NEXUS episodes. In the end, NEXUS shrunk, and many fans watched the final installment of the work with hate, and the ending didn't do well in the ratings.
Just a week after Nexus Ultraman ended its run, Roundabout released Max Ultraman on CBC. The ratings were also always satisfactory because this one took a children's approach and went the retro Showa route. So 39 words ended the release, and there was a special episode, "The Future of Otter".
2006 marked the 40th anniversary of Ultraman, and the society gritted its teeth and made the commemorative "Mombius Ultraman" despite a severe shortage of funds. The work returned to the Showa worldview and featured frequent appearances by Showa-era Ultraman brothers and monsters, thoroughly carrying out Max's retro route But Roundabout didn't anticipate that the ratings for this work would fall back into the doldrums. The ratings started to rebound later in the series, and Roundtree insisted on filming 50 episodes before letting go. There was speculation that Ultraman might not be released again, but not Roundtree.
In 2007, the 40th anniversary of the birth of Saiwon Ultraman, "Saiwon Ultraman X" and "Super Galactic Mega Monster Fight" began to be released, and have now finished airing. Round Valley again got its original partner, TBS TV, to show it. In addition the new 2008 movie "Armageddon! Super Otter 8 Brothers" has also been rumored.
In 2006, Roundtree's Ultraman series won a 100,000 yen prize at Japan's Oscar-winning 2006 Film Academy Awards ceremony.
Mombius Ultraman - Hikari Gaiden won the Digital Content Award.
Interestingly, the Hugo Awards, the prestigious science fiction achievement awards, were held in Yokohama, Japan in 2007, and the trophy was made for Ultraman, who is still active on stage.
