I'm glad that shows like Godman, Greenman, Redman, Ultra Fight and Ultra Super Fight exist; there's something genuinely charming about how they operated on some of the tiniest budgets in Tokusatsu (often barely above the budgets of some fan films!) and still gave it their best shot at creating something new. As a fun fact, and it's one that's honestly rather ironic considering the state a lot of the movie monster suits in _Greenman_ were, Greenman's suit in the 2008 special is the _exact same_ suit from the original series! Somehow, it had survived over three decades sitting in a warehouse somewhere and hadn't degraded to the point of being unusable, and only a few minor repairs had to be made to have it ready to go. Pretty cool stuff!
Your experience is completely relatable to my own; whew, Godman was rough. And while Greenman was certainly formulaic to kingdom come, it was a much needed oasis after Godman. There's definitely a fun microbudget charm to Greenman that is appealing and worthwhile.
To me Redman: Angry, unhinged big brother with bad attitude Godman: stoic, straight-face middle brother who takes everything seriously Greenman: funny, chaotic and goofy little brother
Can you imagine being the guy in the Gorosaurus suit? That thing looks like you'd have to peel it off. Also that Minilla suit is absolutely not the original. The original was designed specifically to fit Masao Fukazawa ("Little Man Machan"), but this one is almost as tall as Greenman. And the fact that it's new makes it look even worse.
7:13 omg that picture looks beautiful looks like one if those paintings with deep meanings nah i want fan art of this now damn that would also look beautiful as an album cover
@@christopherwall2121 now I'm just imagining a monster island buddies episode where gorosaurus tries to sing his solo but gets interrupted by someone and the hole show ruined and then he says look what happened
Green man to red man Green man:why did you made me do this you are killing innocent kaiju left and right most of who had had children and you destoryed the trust everyone had for you think red man think think what will you have when you killed every kaiju Red man:peace i would have died in peace that i avenged my family Green man:cries flys away
I love how many of the monsters in these shows look like bootleg Wild Things. Like, I'm pretty sure I saw one that looks like he leapt right out of Maurice Sendak's illustrations. Also, you didn't mention it in the review, but I am pretty sure the original Owlbear is in this show.
@@cheepmovprod And that's no accident. Totsaurus was one of the monsters in that very same set of bootleg monster toys that also gave us the bulette and the rust eater
Great reviews and deep dives into their history. I've never watched these but have seen some clips of the fights with the Toho kaiju. I like how the main villains from Green-man look like some of the Devilman demons. Gabara being able to keep children imprisoned in his stomach reminds me of decompose one of the main villains from that 80s cartoon inhumanoids. Lol at the skeleton-man from Red-Man exploding into a smaller one. The 2008 meetup special does look enjoyable too
I choose to believe the Greenman Minilla (and other returning monsters can be explained this way to) as an evil duplicate created by Moah and not the boi himself
So...Godman and Megaloman are basically Ultras with awesome/cheesy 80's hair and shades in Godman's case? Works for me. Greenman looks like a Thai temple deity or something and that's OK by me as well for originality. Oh, and that's the late Ichiro Mizuki singing the Megaloman theme, it sounds like!
You had me at, "It's basically a sequel to the Book of Revelations" 😄 Okay, seriously though, that's amazing to me that Greenman fights "Satan" and Godman - GOD man - doesn't. This was fun to learn about. Thanks for the quality Ultra Gaiden content
I consider these part of the Godzilla Universe due to the Kaiju appearances. I would like to think Megaloman does as well and that we could see all the Toho heroes team up.
I really REALLY love these shows, they have a budget of $3 but they make for good popcorn tv, or just something you put on the back Also Tonchiki(the side villain in Greenman is a real one) he shouldn't be in hell
The funniest thing about it is that it's one of the few surviving images from a Godzilla vs. Gamera stage show. One of the few glimpses we get of it and it's Gorosaurus looking like he's about to get abducted by aliens.
I did watch the Godman series around march since I have all 4 dvds and yeah I will admit back then I hated it because of the episodes that drag on for SOOOO LOOOOOONG but like I said it does start to get better before it peaks with the 2008 movie.
A random thing I always wondered if any of the original kaiju were ever properly copyrighted. Since they were very small shows, I assume they didn't, which means they have a higher chance of appearing in something like the Monsterverse compared to someone like Anguirus and Gigan 💀
Considering these shows were being marketed to small children, I'd imagine they would've needed to be advertised in magazines or given toys which suggests that someone at Toho would have thought to file the paperwork for each character and have ownership. Can't imagine the rights would be very expensive, so Legendary has the opportunity to make the funniest deep cut right now by having Kong fight Shilarji in the next movie.
Having seen some episodes of Megaloman on Internet Archive, it's actually pretty interesting. Heck the military in one episode actually saves Megaloman as he struggles to beat a monster that prevented him from using his fists by firing a beam from its eyes that I guess nullified the power of the Megalon Bracelets.
Since the video was rendered, I've actually been going through the series RAW and I'm really enjoying it. Already halfway through. Someone needs to raise the funds to sub it already.
I'm currently searching all over the internet to find both of these shows in their entirety, can someone please help me out? I've searched every toku site i could possibly find but had no luck. Even internet archive only has a few episodes. I'm doing a showa godzilla watch through and want to watch these for that, if anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.
These shows feel very dirty to me... in the literal sense not the *_other_* sense. Like the poor faded film quality and the rotting suits give it a sort of "grimy" quality. It has the same aura as a sock you accidentaly dropped under your bed one day, and only found 2 years later, all covered in lint and other kinds of filth.
Some fansubbers don't speak the language and rely on DeepL/Google translations of existing Japanese subtitles. I'm okay with it to some degree if the show is so simple that it doesn't require the best knowledge of Japanese to get a gist of the words being spoken, but I've seen some pretty iffy ones so it can definitely be done poorly. Just makes me wish a real person went in and subtitled it instead, especially if there's a language-specific joke or pun that gets lost in translation that a real human being can figure out the English equivalent for.
Check out the Ultra Retrospective playlist for 21 videos (and counting!) like this one.

Hey ZaGorudan, there are some episodes of Megaloman on a site called Tukoz. I hope that helps.
pokerogue still alive btw
What’s the dvd called where it has Ike! Godman (2008) on the disc again?? Cause I REALLY NEED it!!
greenman being an angelic machine made by god to fight satan is so hard
Fun fact: tohl narita who worked on ultraman and ultra 7 also worked on the assault human, hence why some of the monsters look familiar.
It's so tragic that following the end of his show, Greenman fell back into his addiction to huffing gasoline and glue...
mmmm yummy
Truly tragic for such a robot
Then getting in a fight with the Philly Phanatic
Legalize Glue!
Yeah I heard you can find him near gas stations all dirty and smelly, offering to kick a monster's ass for gas money.

Redman and Ultra fight are probably my favourite of these types of shows.

Growing up in Japan during the early 70's must have been amazing.

What I love is that there's actually a little following for Godman
One that I may or may not be apart of
@@ConThatTokuBoymaybe…
@GoGodman I was searching for greenman episodes since 2018 but you made me join the Godman search.
@GoGodman you’re sort of like the ambassador for these series. If someone wants to get into them, they’ll find you somehow.
@GoGodman Understandable, Godman had the rarest episodes (which is what got me into the search)
I love that the villain in Go! Greenman is literally Satan
To me
Redman: Angry, unhinged big brother with bad attitude
Godman: stoic, straight-face middle brother who takes everything seriously
Greenman: funny, chaotic and goofy little brother
That's just Malcolm in the Middle

The 2008 Godman movie was surprisingly good! It goes to show what can be done with such a concept with budget and effort.
7:13 omg that picture looks beautiful looks like one if those paintings with deep meanings nah i want fan art of this now damn that would also look beautiful as an album cover
I've joked with my friends that it looks like Gorosaurus is getting a big solo or an "I Want" Song
@@christopherwall2121 now I'm just imagining a monster island buddies episode where gorosaurus tries to sing his solo but gets interrupted by someone and the hole show ruined and then he says look what happened
Red man vs green man new dawn of empire civil war could have gone so hard
Not too surprisingly, this might be the only worthwhile video on these two 'Godly Goofballs' across all of American TH-cam. Congratulations(?).
I think more Ultra-like heroes should have 70s-80s metal hair.
Wow the shows made with 2 cents
Because as we all know satans greatest enemy is green god could have atleast called our boy angelman but nah
Omg easterman is one of your patrons!!! easterman, if you ever see this, please finish your kaiju compendium!!! I love what you do!!!
Green man to red man
Green man:why did you made me do this you are killing innocent kaiju left and right most of who had had children and you destoryed the trust everyone had for you think red man think think what will you have when you killed every kaiju
Red man:peace i would have died in peace that i avenged my family

The DHMIM references this episode made me chuckle 🤣
17:05 just hit me that Gaira actually keeps his origin in this movie, just spawning from Tsunozilla instead of Frankenstein
How come Godman got an anniversary short film, But Zone isn't even awknowledged?, He's the big budget hero
At least the Zone family has some new merch every once in a while, Megaloman hasn’t gotten anything since 1979!
15:01 I did not need to know that Gabara had vore fetish
Ultraman with a mullet. That's badass
would ultragalaxy and ultrafight be apart of ultra retrospective or ultra gaiden, great work AnActualDimetrodon.
Megaloman doesn't even have a DVD release, it's nuts
Excellent job. These to I've only seen pictures of. Now I'm caught up. Never saw these shows when I was a kid ❤😂
So what you’re saying is, Go Greenman means they FINALLY made Bible 2?

Gorosaurus communes with god - Joseph anderllah 54-24

That PokeRogue joke aged surprisingly poorly so quickly considering the Google Doc that dropped just recently.
Wdym?
Never making a topical reference to a fan-driven thing with a Discord server ever again. This always seems to happen with those. My bad.
Wait, wtf happened??
@@jesusramirezromo2037 transphobia.
If Godman is Tokusatsu Purgatory, then what do you consider Tokusatsu Heaven?
Anything where the average shot doesn't last 15 seconds.

Yes they do. I got one blocked a while ago (you told me to calm down because I was very mad).

So Toho abandoned the ultraman clone they cared so much to spend a lot of money on and rebooted god and green man?
Can you do a video about ambassoder magma
Sad Go! Greenman is so funny.

WHEN IS THE REDMAN REVIEW
Planning on making an "Ultra Fight" video where I talk about every series made in that format.
THANK YOU KING.
10:43 oh my gawwd jay bauman is dead!
These shows make Ultra Fight look like a Godzilla film, man these look so cheap and lazy. But, I actually have an appreciation for them.
