>>5389074>guide to getting into the Ultra franchise/m/ usually has a thread up to talk bout the Ultra series, but I can give some recommendations
>UltramanThe original series can be streamed on Hulu or you can usually find the complete series on DVD at Amazon or in the cheap DVD section of Wal-Mart, Fred Meyers, or any other big box store, and usually no more than $10. It's the classic, but it also is pretty cheesy, since they were still experimenting with the formula. However, it's easily accessible
>UltrasevenThe first sequel to Ultraman. Pretty much a stand alone series, Ultraseven is pretty bad-ass. Despite not being an officer, he's just a map-taker, Ultraseven kicks all the monsters ass hardcore. Stories are a bit more mature. You can get the whole series off of Amazon for about $30-$40. It's an awesome series.
>Ultraman MaxOne of the more recent Ultraman series, it's available on Crunchyroll. It's an alternate universe, but it references all the classic monsters. Fun series, cool characters, decent entry point into Ultra.
>Ultraman MebiusAlso on Crunchyroll, this is a sequel to the original Ultraman series, but it ignores most of the series in between. Sort of a soft reboot, like how many 2000 Godzilla films are only a sequel to the '54 film and ignores everything else. Also a good place to start.
>Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legend The Movie What a fucking name. This was actually the first Ultra thing I seriously watched, and it's My personal favorite. It's sort of a sequel to Mebuis and the Mega Monster Battle series (which is sort of a cross between pokemon and Ultra Kaiju in space; I'll eventually watch this), since it has characters from those series returning. Really, it's about an evil Ultraman named Belial kicking all sorts of ass and being awesome. A new Ultraman, Zero, rises up to save the day, because he's the Designated Hero. I fucking love Ultraman Belial. Pic fucking related.
