ULTRAMAN TIGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got up early to watch Kirby this morning on Fox, and what did I see? A commercial for Ultraman Tiga! On Fox! Apparently I'd missed it by about 2 hours, since it was on at 8:30. But still, you better believe I'm watching it next weekend.

The show look SWEET. I've never seen any Ultraman stuff before, but I've seen stuff at stores and heard a little about it. Any Ultraman fans here? Tiga looks so cool.

How many other Ultraman series' or movies were released in Japan? Is Ultraman Tiga the US' first television exposure to Ultraman? I know an SNES game was released, but I think that's it.

Anybody post anything Ultraman related here. I'm so psyched.

holy shit ultraman on fox damn i need to wake up earilier. i love the ultraman snes game.

Yes, Ultraman Tiga is the second of the Heisei series of Ultraman, like Godzilla's second series in 1984.

The special effects are bumped up, compared to the shows of the 60's 70's and 80's. Hell, Ultraman Tiga is where I got my Daigo username from!

Ultraman Tiga came out in Japan in 96 I THINK. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. After Tiga, came the series Ultraman Dyna, Ultraman Gaia, and the recently canceled Ultraman Cosmos. I hear a new Ultra series is in the works tho!

Wow, this beats watching Ultra Seven at 2 in the morning on TNT! Wish I coulda seen Tiga....I only have one of their movies...

Tiga's awesome, I like the 3 forms, Speed, Power, and Omni.

I like how they actually show the skyscrapers getting destroyed, and the monsters look so real.

It's like Power Rangers but much much better.

The only thing I don't like is that it's dubbed.

Well can't expect Fox to be showing a subtitled show during the kids time-slot. Let's just be thankful they're showing Ultraman at all!

This is going to be my first exposure to Ultraman and I can't wait. Next Saturday can't come soon enough! Ahhh I'm so pissed I missed it today.
