Ep 78 - David Hayter's Cool Movie for Attractive Peoples (Ultraman Taro 12-13 + Guyver 2 Dark Hero)
Covering: Ultraman Taro episodes 12 to 13; Guyver 2 Dark Hero
Red is unexpectedly sick, so it's up to the rest of the gang to dig into the curiosity that is the second Guyver movie, along with a couple of other Taro episodes with questionable morals too.

Ep 87 - Ultimate Christmas vs New Years (Ultraman Taro 38-40)
02:47:31||Ep. 87Covering: Ultraman Taro episodes 38 to 40The holidays are now over which is the perfect time for Taro to give us a batch of Christmas and New Years episode 1-2 weeks after they would have actually have been relevant to us in real life. Funny how things work out some times. Taro continues to deliver a solid and fun viewing experience even as we begin to head into the home stretch.Twitter | Bsky | YouTube | Ko-fiTimestamps:Preamble Section00:00 - Intro03:15 - Crusader Kings 213:30 - Tekken 819:00 - Ceres Fauna graduation21:05 - Tales of Phantasia33:30 - Sukeban Deka (1985 series + 1991 OVA)44:30 - Ben-Hur (1925 + 1959 films)1:09:20 - BanG Dream - Ave Mujica1:11:25 - Battle Spirits - Shounen Geikha DanUltraman Section1:24:45 - Ultraman Taro episode 381:39:50 - Ultraman Taro episode 391:59:55 - Ultraman Taro episode 402:24:48 - Colour timers2:27:24 - Return of Ultraman trivia runback2:31:10 - Emails2:38:35 - Outro86.

01:58:20||Ep. 85Covering: Ultraman Taro episodes 32 to 34This Christmas, we're gifted with a great week of episodes between the platonic ideal of a Taro episode and what is probably the most we've enjoyed a big crossover to date as old heroes rise again. Not to mention another lesson in the importance of having normal (not over) confidence. There's even an evil monkey. I guess it's true that when there's nothing left to lose, you win.Hokuto is still dead btwTwitter | Bsky | YouTube | Ko-fiTimestamps:Preamble Section00:00 - Intro03:10 - Marvel Rivals09:19 - Synduality Echo of Ada18:54 - Virtua Fighter 5 REVO22:58 - Rashomon30:43 - Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024 film)Ultraman Section46:00 - Ultraman Taro episode 321:03:00 - Ultraman Taro episode 33 & 341:42:22 -Yuru Yuri season 11:43:34 - Colour timers1:44:42 - Ultraseven trivia runback1:50:15 - Emails1:51:45 - OutroSources:Kaiju KompendiumKing of Dragon Pass ducks (link 1, link 2)Skipping the Queue 30 - Robotic Original Sin (Ultraman Arc 17-20)

With several Interesting Choices being made on the narrative front, how do we feel about the movie as a proper conclusion to the series? Or did we enjoy ourselves because of or despite the creators' intentions?Twitter | Bsky | YouTube | Ko-fiTimestamps: 00:00 - Intro02:25 - Ultraman Blazar movie discussion58:00 - Colour timers59:42 - Ultraman Blazar trivia runback + movie trivia1:28:00 - Kaiju rankings1:32:27 - Emails1:34:38 - OutroSources:Kaiju rankings84. Ep 84 - Re-Ultraseven II: The Return of Ultraseven (Ultraman Taro 29-31)
03:27:51||Ep. 84Covering: Ultraman Taro episodes 29 to 31We put the "Well-Known Monsters and Aliens Reappearance Series" (yes, really) behind us with a chaotic two-parter featuring Kotaro's dramatic foil. Then we get a goofier episode we like much better. Most of all, we question the Wiki-brained attitude the Ultra Series takes towards its various kaiju and their reappearances. Oh yeah, I guess this is a long one too, huh.Twitter | Bsky | YouTube | Ko-fiTimestamps:Preamble Section00:00 - Intro06:56 - Mistborn - The Well of Ascension30:53 - Last Herald Mage - Magic's Price49:15 - Blade Runner1:09:04 - Soldier (1998 film)1:13:33 - Girl in the Twilight (Akanesasu Shoujo)1:18:00 - Tekken 81:23:37 - Space Runaway Ideon1:24:28 - Muv Luv AlternativeUltraman Section1:30:25 - Ultraman Taro episode 29 & 302:05:40 - Ultraman Taro episode 312:40:53 - Colour timers2:42:14 - Ultraseven trivia runback2:47:59 - Emails3:19:00 - OutroSources:Ultraman Blazar Kaiju SorterDetour Quarry EX 4 - Trumpeter of the Orgover Times (Super Dimension Century Orguss 02)
