Day One

(don't worry, they'll be reincarnated. like always.)

"If this kid dies, Seven will kill me. Which is why I plan to keep him alive until I kill Seven myself." -Zoffy 2023

"What?"-Zero 2023

I could see this happening. Orb's a nice guy.

SWEET EVER LOVING MOTHER OF LAVA WHAT THE SLAG???

SEVEN WHY???

*confused and terrified screeching*

You know what, I'll take that over a guy who murdered three people (two of which were children and one a coworker) and a guy who snapped the neck of his own dad.

Buddy. Buddy boy. My friend. My pal. You are not going home until this is done and one last person is standing. Want to go home? Then kill. Sorry man, that's how it's done here.

"It's free real estate" -Belial 2023

Cool. Maybe that will defend you from the complete psychopaths in this place.

Marie, who got reincarnated in the crowd:

"It ain't much, but it's honest work."-Titas 2023

Knowing him, he'll get distracted by a squirrel or something and forget what he was supposed to find.

...other than the murdering parts, I don't think any sentence in this whole sim will fill me with as much fear.

Probably from Taro burning his father's corpse

Wow. Okay then.

Time to do Ultraman Hunger Games Sim

The Bloodbath

(assume that if they're not screenshotted, they ran away)

Marie. Marie this was the first thing on the list. Marie it's been 2 seconds since I started. Marie why.

Well that's not good.

...okay, that doesn't seem too bad.

That is very much not good.

Smart lad, that one.

"It's not a sword, but it'll do"- Ultraman Ace, 2023

He is going to kill himself with those. I will call it now.

@comicalcarnival Does your boy seem sweet now

I know for a fact that Orb let him win.

He grabs a what.

He uses shields? Since when?

Z NO JUST BECAUSE A POWERFUL ULTRA DOES IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU SHOULD DO IT--

(will be reblogging this with later days)

(also apperently I hit the tag limit. great.)

Just finished buidling the Figure-Rise Standard Ultraman Zero

Quite an enjoyable build with really good colour seperation, good articulation and a good amount of accessories though I do wish it came with a beam effect part.

I used some gundam markers to colour certain sections that had large stickers such as the front and back of the thighs, the front and back of the crotch, the gold parts under the chest and shoulder armour, and the green "gem" on his forehead (though I messed up a bit in scraping off the excess).

I do wish I had more space and equipment for my kits as I would have liked to have at the very least sprayed all the silver parts to match.

All in all an enjoyable kit that I would have loved to refine, if only I had the skill, tools, and space to do so.

I'm think my next kit out of the 4 in my backlog will likely be the HG The Origin Guncannon.

Mirai Robo Daltanious

- from HG Super Robot

  Complete Collection 3

  Mysterious Robot Minerva X Edition

- by Bandai

Quick Shot

Another Book Off find. It's not often you find Daltanious merchandise at the thrift store - even a thrift store that focuses on anime and toys like Book Off.

Daltanious was a late 70s to early 80s Super Robot anime that featured a combining robot with a lion theme. And it was originally supposed to be brought to the US as Voltron, but the studio accidentally licensed the wrong lion robot - and we got Golion instead. Or so the story goes.

It's a great design, with early indications of the 80s boxy mecha aesthetic.

I actually had no idea Bandai did an HG line for super robots - let alone multiple series of them.

The sculpt is very soft, especially for the HG Kamen Rider and Ultraman lines of the same era. And the paint is a little lackluster.

But it's still a very fun minifigure, and a truly unexpected surprise find.

So I came across the roster for Ultraman HG Ver 3 and the silhouette of the secret figure caught my attention

So this figure seems to have three sluggers on his head with rounded protectors

Now y'all might think that it's ES but think again, ES's side sluggers aren't that big and his protectors are much more angular

And the other ultra which has three sluggers are UFF exclusive forms which it's highly unlikely to get a figure release at this stage

Yes u guessed right, I definitely think this is a silhouette of a future upgrade form for Z

Note that this set will be released in August too so the timing is sort of appropriate as well

Hopefully we'll be able see what form is this from the Bandai catalog list

[nomadicism]

To be honest, I'm not that surprised that Voltes V is being adapted into la before Voltron. Voltes V is extremely popular in the Philippines, even now. While I think Voltron was big in North America during it's time, it's not nearly as popular as was back in the 80s, even with the Netflixs series. It's like how Saint Seiya is still super beloved in Latin America to this day, despite it being made in the 80s.

Hi Anon, thank you for the Ask!

I’m surprised-and-not-surprised that Voltes V will be adapted into live-action before Voltron, both for the reasons you mentioned, but more importantly, it’s because when IP holders of cartoons (doesn’t matter what cartoon it is) attempt to get a live-action film made, they nearly always fail to get it made. Live-action TV series adaptations don’t do well either, for mostly the same reasons.

Note: I’m not counting live action adaptations of anime, b/c that’s a completely different beast.

My self-indulgent axiom is: The moment that there is an announcement about a cartoon being made into a live-action film or series, is the moment that such a thing ever happening dies on the vine. There are quite a few of them languishing in movie rights limbo, so I never take it seriously. 

There are a lot of factors involved as to why they fail to get made, but the biggest reason has to do with special effects budget/capabilities vs perceptions about how much money the potential audience will bring in. Since cartoons in the US are for children—obviously, they don’t have to be, but sadly that’s the widespread cultural belief—then that limits what can be done for a film that is based on a cartoon. This isn’t the same as an original animated film that is not adapted from an existing cartoon.

Basically, PG, PG-13, and R movies bring in more money. TV series face the same issue, even though live-action series traditionally bring in more ad revenue. The special effects budgets that would be required to adapt most cartoons (given the fantastical content) practically demand a movie adaptation rather than an on-going series, or mini-series.

Rated G movies can bring in mountains of money (especially if you’re Disney), and even then, Disney’s live-action films (notably based on IP that Disney purchased and are not even uniquely Disney) bring in more than their most beloved animated films, and no Disney G-rated film has broken $1B. Their top grossing animated film to date is the 2019 Lion King, which, being realistic CG, effectively makes it a live-action film. 

Frozen and the recent CG Lion King (2019) are in Disney’s top 10 as of 2019, and they are both rated PG. CG Lion King is #7 and Frozen is #15 of all top grossing films. FWIW, CG Lion King is ‘realistic’ to the point where I don’t think it really counts for what I’m on about here. Its realistic look makes it indistinguishable from the rest of the top 10 highest grossing films to date.

No company wants to spend tens of millions (or more) to make a cartoon into live-action if they have to keep it rated G, and they have to keep it rated G due to audience perceptions and expectations. The Scooby Doo movie got to dodge that a bit for some reasons that are unique to its franchise and audience (also, they still had to cut content/tone it down to avoid the R rating). The live-action He-Man movie is a good example of everything that could possibly go wrong, and I suspect that its infamous failure still looms large in the minds of those who write checks to produce movies.

The Michael Bay Transformers movies did well b/c the technology was there to make them look good, they were PG-13, and Bay’s “explode all the things” film-aesthetic was hit the right notes in the zeitgeist of the time. Even if I don’t really like the Bayformers, I can still respect them for bringing something fresh to the franchise, and looking damn good for CG robots.

Compare their success against, the animated Transformers: The Movie. That one did not do well in theaters and the more mature themes caught fans and viewers by surprise and—as much as I love the movie—many parents and kids were upset by it at the time and I agree with the reasons why. I also saw it in theaters as a kid and was upset at the time, but eventually grew to love it. That movie is another example of just how tricky it is to bridge the cartoon-to-film gap, even when animated. The Bayformers movies bridged the gap right (again, even though I’m not a fan of them, I respect them for what they are). I can’t think of any cartoon-to-live-action film that made the adaptation gap as well as the Transformers did. Obvs, there is no live-action TV series for Transformers. It can’t be done.

TMNT did well for the first two films, but again, they were films and not a TV series.

What follows is speculation on my part:

In the case of IP like Voltron or Robotech, I suspect that the reason why they have been in movie rights limbo for so long is to prevent someone else from buying the rights and making a movie of the original source material. Even a shitty Golion or Macross live-action movie could harm WEP or Harmony Gold’s control or water down their vision for the IP. Voltron and Robotech are unique b/c technically, a Japanese studio could have gone to production on a live action Golion or Macross movie, but if the license to make them is tied up with American studio/production houses (and royalties being paid where applicable) will prevent that. This doesn’t mean that WEP or Harmony Gold couldn’t challenge said hypothetical Japanese studio over an adaptation, but it would be a legal battle that no one wants. The rights get tied up indefinitely simply to keep another studio from buying them and possibly making the film and doing a great job of it.

It’s such a Cold War mentality, but I can’t see any other rationale for it other than WEP and Harmony Gold being really awful at brand and IP management to the point where they actually believe that a studio would risk millions on a live-action adaptation. At this point, Robotech would be more likely to get adapted since HG has the fire lit under their ass by looming copyright changes and that Sony was interested enough to get involved. They’ve got like 2 years to make that happen so we’ll see.

How this relates to Voltes V:

Since Voltes V is an anime, a live-action adaptation won’t be bound by the same expectations for content rating, especially if it is not being made for an American audience that expects rated G or family-friendly PG. The love for Voltes V among Filipinos puts the IP into a special place, and it’s probably a lot like Transformers, where there are a lot of older fans who are waiting to see their beloved show get some attention, whether big screen or small. There is that legacy audience plus the popularity of robot anime and video games in the region gives a Voltes V a good chance at a live-action TV adaptation.

To me this means that, since this adaptation won’t be a movie, but instead will be a “seasonal” series, that it’s going to do well enough for the Philippines, and probably have a quality similar to more recent Ultraman series, or Power Rangers. They don’t have to go all-in like a big budget Hollywood film, or an HBO drama. I’m curious if this live-action is actually live-action + CG, or if it’s going to be all CG animation that’s mostly realistic looking but also stylized.

Whatever happens, I’ll be happy to see Voltes V get made b/c it’s a fun-and-interesting story that deserves more attention, and it’s really a shame that there was never a reboot or remake. If it does well, then maybe Toei might bring it back in animated form.
