Ultraman series, the representative work of Japanese Tsuburaya Productions, is also the lifeblood of the company. Beginning in the last century, Ultraman appeared in the image of the first generation of Ultraman. With the setting of "hero superman", it attracted the love of many children and successfully created the "Huge Hero vs. Monster Battle" mode, which is very popular. At the same time in the world, it has become a world-renowned super IP.
However, because most of Ultraman's works are positioned for children. So over time, in most people's minds, Ultraman is exclusively for children, but nothing more than childhood memories! After reaching adulthood, if you are still watching Ultraman, if it is not for nostalgic reasons, then this person is too naive. However, in fact this is completely a prejudice. Although most of Ultraman's works are oriented towards children, they still have stunning adult-oriented works.
"Nexus Ultraman" is such a work, and it is also the only adult (youth-oriented) work in many Ultraman series. This is an attempt by Tsuburaya to broaden its audience. Although the final result was a fiasco, it only gained 4% of the ratings after the broadcast. But for those who have seen this work, "Nexus Ultraman" is definitely the pinnacle of Ultraman's plot. Even if it is unfinished due to lack of money in the later period, the excitement of the early plot is so exciting. Admiringly.
Compared with the familiar Ultraman works, "Nexus Ultraman" uses a series of presentation methods, and the plots of each episode are tightly linked together. After watching one episode I can’t help but watch the second episode. Although the special effects of the whole work are relatively rough due to the reasons of the times, but in terms of plot, it reflects the depth that some ordinary animation works do not have.
is different from the Ultra Brothers plot of the Showa-based Ultraman, and also different from the Heisei-based Ultraman with a variety of skills. In Nexus Ultraman, we see more human nature and the dark side of society. In our previous Ultraman series, humans almost existed as cannon fodder, and could only wait for the appearance of Ultraman to rescue each time.
In "Ultraman Nexus", human beings have taken off the setting of handlessness and become the existence with the same fighting ability. In order to protect their own world, countries have established a transnational secret organization-TLT, which uses high technology to detect monsters, and uses high technology and designates complete and effective solutions to deal with monsters (alien beasts) that bring world crisis. And in order to maintain world peace and not cause panic in the world, TLT has established a night raid team and the establishment of "Wangchuan". In "Nexus", human beings are no longer a waste, but an existence that works hard for themselves.
In addition, in addition to the portrayal of human beings, the setting for Nexus Ultraman is also quite novel and unique. In "Ultraman Nexus", the tragic nature of these light heirs is more obvious. They are constantly fighting for their beliefs far away from the crowds. It was even more questioned by humans because of its own existence of magnetic field fluctuations like alien beasts, and even suffered cruel treatment by humans.
Ji Yanzhun's experience in the human body is very sad. Being caught by his own companion for human experimentation makes people lament the despicability of human beings, but can only sigh helplessly. After all, from another point of view, the reason why Ji Shizhun was arrested for a human experiment was also because he wanted to know his difference and wanted to deal with the monster based on the experimental results. So in this contradiction, it's really hard to tell who is right and who is wrong. This plot of Ji Yazhun is a classic plot in "Nexus." The subsequent plot was castrated more seriously due to lack of funding.
However, from this plot, we can know that "Nexus" could have done better, but it was a pity that money stumbled. If there is sufficient funding, "Nexus" is definitely the pinnacle of the Ultraman series! Therefore, many viewers really hope that the follow-up of this work can be re-shot, or to restore the original 52 episode plot. Maybe in a lifetime, we can wait for it!
