Ultraman Mebius (2006)

It's hard to put into words what Mebius means to me. But maybe I can explain what makes this show so special.

Mebius ran on the 40th anniversary of the Ultra series, and the writers definitely took advantage of that fact. Produced when Tsupro was on the brink of bankruptcy (it was the last show until Ultraman Ginga, 7 years later), you can tell the writers, producers, stunt workers, and every other behind-the-scenes staff poured their blood, sweat and tears into this show.

How do you know?

Because it will make you cry like a baby.

The show manages to celebrate what makes Ultraman truly special in a way that both newcomers and old fans can enjoy and be moved by. It doesn't just pay homage to it's predecessors but adds to them, providing incredibly meaningful and wonderful conclusions to previous series.

However Mebius does all of this without sacrificing it's own show. Ultraman Mebius and the GUYS defense team stand as the central focus, and their development and growth over 50 episodes was a delight to watch. Each character is so enjoyable and feel necessary, thanks in part to the writers deciding to dedicate the first half of the show primarily to them.

All of this builds up to a show that was made by fans, yet is easily accessible to newcomers and die-hard fans alike. Mebius's charm is infectious and you will want to share it with friends. Crying alone isn't very fun, but with friends.... that's what friendship is for, right?

MEBIUUUUS!

Com um dos episódios finais mais emocionantes de Ultraman, Mebius deixa boas mensagens e arranca até alguma emoção dos olhos de quem gosta e assiste ultraman desde a era Showa. Não achei a grande obra-prima que todos falavam, mas definitivamente esta próximo de ser uma. Tokusatsus tem em sua essência, aquela magia da ação combinada com o poder da amizade, e em seu core, Mebius brilha justamente nesses dois fatores. Os personagens são cuidadosamente desenvolvidos e executados em tela (claro, guardadas as devidas proporções dos atores de tokusatus japoneses). Do inicio ao fim, a gente sempre se importa com todos os personagens. Muito bacana mesmo, toku recomendadíssimo.
