#Ultraman cosmos song full series
The series returned with the first Japanese produced Ultraman Series with Ultraman Tiga, which was well received. Kamen Rider to compare popular franchises. In 1993 after Ultraman: Towards the Future debuted in Japan on NHK and after Kamen Rider ZO debuted, Toei and Tsuburaya co-produced Ultraman vs.
Ultraman then went on a hiatus in the early 1990s, the foreign series Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero and Ultraman: Towards the Future were produced and were dubbed/subbed in Japanese with mild success in Japan. Ultraman 80 was the first Ultraman Series to have a live ending theme. The school plot was dropped in episode 13 to make Ultraman stick to the franchises' roots. Ultraman 80 first wanted to appeal to children in middle school so the first 12 episodes showed Takeshi Yamato being a science teacher, member of UGM, and being Ultraman 80. In 1980, however Kaiju and sci-fi began to surge more due to the new decade so Ultraman 80 premiered. In 1979, the Ultraman Series had its first anime series The☆Ultraman which was unconnected to the Showa continuity. However the Kaiju began to die out as human sized hero and anime became much more popular causing the Ultraman Series to go on a 3 year hiatus, Kamen Rider Stronger even replaced Ultraman Leo on TBS. The last 12 episodes however decided for the second time to introduce a antagonist Black Directive most likely attempting to compete with the equally dark ongoing show Kamen Rider Amazon. Ultraman Leo first 39 episodes had Ultraman Leo as Gen Otori training with veteran Ultra Dan Moroboshi as his Ultra Eyes became broke. Some fans of the Ultraman Series where upset with the light tone of Ultraman Taro so Ultraman Leo decided to be extremely dark with several onscreen human death and gruesome alien death. Ultraman Taro defined the Ultra race and gave lore much more than Ultraman Ace and frequently had the Ultra Brothers appear.
The show was one of 3 shows created for Tsuburaya Productions' 10th anniversary, Fireman and Jumborg Ace. The show was much more gory, which was not well received, so the next show Ultraman Taro became much more family friendly. Due to the success of the ongoing franchise Kamen Rider the new Ultra show Ultraman Ace had the first primary antagonist similar to the Great Leader of Shocker, Yapool. Return of Ultraman also brought Ultraman and Ultraseven in the same universe. The show was a rather big shift in tone as the defense team's members were undeveloped in exchange for the first supporting family of the Ultraman Series, the Sakata family. The show was managed by Hajime Tsuburaya, Eiji's son and song writer for most of the Ultraman theme songs going by the stage name "Tokyo 1". The show was the first official Ultraman Series after 3 years. Many sequels would follow, including Ultraseven a intended standalone series with no connection to Ultra Q and Ultraman except that Ultraseven came from the same nebula, however after Eiji Tsuburaya's death this was reconnected in Return of Ultraman. They introduced the titular hero Ultraman in the second series, which enjoyed immense success and kick-started the henshin hero genre. Eventually, he evolved into the red-and-silver hero of renown. The hero went through many stages, originally intended to be a bird-man named Bemular, with a design which later became the monster Hydra.
It was planned to introduce a giant hero to fight the monsters, similar to the Showa Godzilla films. Special effects master Eiji Tsuburaya was a major part of the series. Ultra Q was a tokusatsu series in Japan, one of the first to bring daikaiju to the small screen. The Ultraman Series (ウルトラマンシリーズ Urutoraman Shirīzu), or widely known as the Ultra Series (ウルトラシリーズ Urutora Shirīzu), is a long-running franchise created and produced by Tsuburaya Productions.
