(Ah, this turned out sillier than I intended. No series before Tiga because I can't remember the ones I'd seen very well. And some entries may have spoilers.)

Tiga: ( Statue )
Dyna: ( Forms )
Gaia: ( Earth )
Cosmos: ( Universal )
Nexus: ( Bonds )
Max: ( Alternate )
Mebius: ( Timeline )
UltraSeven X: ( World )
Zero: ( Shining )
Ginga: ( Spark )
X: ( Quantum )
Orb: ( Dark )
Geed: ( Fanboy )
R/B: ( Crystals )
Taiga: ( Bracelets )
Z: ( Dimensions )
So I don't know where all the above came from. (Gee, surely the Ultras don't talk like that. At least, I really hope Tiga and Dyna don't.) I only meant to talk about how I totally prefer human forms (or the form where the Ultra side is silent) over human hosts, but now I am not so sure. Some host/Ultra relationships are amazing, after all.

(Just seems like a silly disclaimer, but I've seen all of these series. If I don't mention something obvious (probably a lot of them), it means I either forget about it, don't want to be repetitive, or don't want to for spoiler reasons.)

(Okay, you probably wonder who this person is who went silent for almost seven years. It's more likely that I'm talking to myself here, however. Anyway, went out for the first time this month on Friday and found that the outside world is still the same, so maybe I'll start posting again. Which might not be sustainable since I still don't really want to watch anything other than the Ultras, but never say never.)

Doing this from Ultraman Tiga onward, here are my personal opinions on transformation items the Ultra hosts use. (No, I don't own any, more's the pity.) Not counting the secondary Ultras, if any. I would comment on the transformation scenes themselves, but most of them aren't that memorable, except the three-century-long ones, only because I was seriously tempted to skip them. But I'll say I mostly prefer that the Ultra hosts don't shout out their Ultra names while transforming (except Mebius. He can shout his name all he wants).

Spoilers, maybe. But nothing that will ruin the series, I hope. So I'm not separating the cut into individual shows. The Ultras are listed in the order their series aired, as far as I know.

So maybe I should say something about the human form or host of each series (the main ones and Zero's)? I don't know, but let's just do it, then. I like to have excuses to talk about my favorite characters. (That means I probably might not limit myself to talking about the hosts/human forms only.) Unlike the above section, there are lots of spoilers and I don't mark them. Uneven length. For some I have paragraphs, and for some I have three sentences. How much I write is usually no indication of how much I like the host and/or the other characters, however.

Tiga: ( Take Me Higher )
Dyna: ( Ally of Justice )
Gaia: ( Beat on, Dream on )
Cosmos: ( Spirit )
Nexus: ( Hero )
Max: ( From Galaxy Faraway )
Mebius: ( Adorable, Adorable, Adorable )
UltraSeven X: ( Pay Money for My Pain )
Zero: ( 20,000 years too early )
Ginga: ( Future Ultraman )
X: ( Cyberspace Ultraman )
Orb: ( Wanderer Ultraman )
Geed: ( Adorkable Ultraman )
R/B: ( Ultraman Brothers )
Taiga: ( Tri-Squad Ultraman )
Z: ( Ultra Nerd )
And how much I enjoy a series is almost always directly proportional to how much I like its main character. I think only Nexus actually breaks that mold (but then I practically like most of the dunamists, so maybe there's that). I won't say which series I like more because I don't like to play favorites, though perhaps you can tell? I'm not all that objective anyway.
