Ultraman Nice Commercials

Being ill (not so much now) might (hopefully) explain why I can't make much head or tail of Ultraman Nice.

Random things which might be spoilers )

ultraman nice, ultraman tiga

Well, it is possible that I might be missing something, but I don't think the guy had ever used a pill to transform? I did a quick re-watch of the part where he couldn't transform, and the choco balls were just replaced with what looked like M&Ms, I think?

Now I kind of want to see that. Mirai getting desperate is a bonus. ^^

Those commercials were nice!

And it's nice that Ultraman transforms by eating candy - at least he doesn't need to worry that his transformation item will look silly.

I kind of liked that the kid's name is Mirai - it's a nice name, and it was fun to imagine that they gave him that name after Mebius left Earth to remember Mebius's identity - but, of course, it's not true, since the advertisement was made before Mebius.

Also, I can't stop saying the word nice and doing the thumbs-up gesture D:

(Re-post, because I did it in a wrong place. ^^;; Opening too many windows would do this to me.)

Yes, they were nice commercials. :)

That's a good point there about no silly-looking transformation item. Though it isn't like an Ultra host usually cares about that (I mean, Ultraman Zearth's host transforms by brushing his teeth with a toothbrush); it's the viewer who worries. ^^;;

The entry might imply otherwise, but I actually don't mind that the kid's name is Mirai. It was just a bit...I don't know...confusing? Like I kept superimpose Mebius' image on this kid every time I heard the name? But that's probably just me. Either way, I like your suggestion a lot, and might have to pretend that is the case. ^^

I didn't do the thumbs-up, but at least I sort of cheered whenever they did it while saying 'nice'. ^^;;

Hmm, that's a pretty cool idea about the toothbrush - the show's target audience are young viewers, so that would be a perfect way to make them aware of the importance of dental hygiene :D

But then again, it's better to have a transformation item - what if he ran out of transformation candy?

It was the same for me, I was like - but there is only one Mirai!

Nice reaction! :D

Yes, it's actually pretty neat that they were teaching kids about personal hygiene in an Ultraman show. But it took me back the first time I heard about a toothbrush being a transformation item.

But transformation items can go missing, too. I think the original Ultraman once lost his and couldn't transform. There had been at least a few more people careless with their transformation items, though I don't remember off-handed who they were.

Oh, I'll have to get around to re-watching Ultraman Max one of these days because I don't remember that at all. But, yeah, they probably use 'mirai' a lot in those final Max episodes as a sort of promotion for Mebius.

They are still there, I just never thought to check before. Thanks!
