Ultraman is a Japanese tokusatsu series, one of the big arteries of eye-poppingly expensive midecentury productions alongside Godzilla and Kamen rider. Men in silver and crimson vinyl suits fight big foam monsters on miniturized cities. Just imagine, you have to hire stunt managers, production managers, pyro engineers, set dressers, lighting and camera crews, the manpower for a show like this must've been staggering.

It's a remarkably long-running series with new ultramen replacing older generations like AKB48 members. The grandfatherclock of Japanese media, its enduring appeal carries on through overlapping generations of nostalgia. Original kaiju design contests attract submissions by children (4) and very large children (31).

The series frequently bleeds into popular culture with appearances in unrelated merchandise, commercials, and surreal travel shows.

crazygon

More hard inanimate object than lover. Wide appeal to the tumble dryer paraphillics. 4/10

barutan

Definitely an eccentric type. Canonically Barutan is a father, good for him.

dada

Probably wholly uninterested in sex and spends all their free time writing long strings of prime numbers. The kind of partner who always has crumbs in their bed and wipes back to front. 1/10

dallie

One for the freaks, the OG spiderfuckers. 5/10

jumboking

They're practically two men already joined at the waist. unrelated to the indian fast food chain. 2/10
