Ultraseven X

Ultraseven X

Ultraseven was the 2nd in the long running (to this day) Ultraman series. The first Ultraman was from the 60’s and they have been updating him ever since. But it’s not like they remake him or anything, the series continue into each other. There have even been movies where multiple Ultramen have teamed up!

Ultraseven X was a series from 2007/2008 and it was geared towards adults. It aired late night (past midnight), but it’s not like it’s violent or anything, the “adult” part just means more science fiction related stories rather than who is Ultraman gonna fight this episode.

Ultraman is a scifi show anyway, but it mostly revolves around aliens and monsters attacking the city and Ultraman coming to the rescue. U7X was more about hidden aliens and government secrets etc.

Jin wakes up in a lake with no memory. A girl appears to him and gives him The Ultra Eye (red glasses that transform him into U7). Through the next few episodes we learn that Jin along with friends Kei and S all work for DEUS – a secret government agency that handles aliens (think MIB). So U7X still fights aliens, but there is a deeper story going on, and the aliens are not so black and white as they usually are.

I have to really say I loved each and every episode. All really well written (subtitles were not to bad maybe 85% accurate) and each episode had a deeper meaning to it too.

Now the big problem is that U7 hard appears. He only comes for like 30 seconds in the end to destroy the alien and sometimes doesn’t appear at all. There are only 12 episodes in this series and U7 isnt even in 2-3 of them. But when he does appear he looks bloody amazing!!!!!!!!!!! I mean really wicked. Same old costume, but with really cool updates, and not style updates, but just making the same exact old costume look better. Not updating the style of it.

I am not giving full 5/5 (although it is 5/5) because most people wanna see U7 fight guys and you don’t get nearly enough of that. But if you wanna see a wicked series get this.

I will be burning this for anyone who wants it. I support it large.

4.5/5

J-Man.
