akinoameHey, Tsuburaya? Ultraman Connection?
I know you're really excited about the card game. Along with all of the other stuff that you got really excited for in the last few years.
But do you think you could maybe post some information about the show? Or the movies?
Because in a press conference, you announced that Guile Arc, the evil twin, would be played by Miki Mizuno.
And you know me, I love a good villainess (gestures at icon).
But all you've done to promote this for the international audience (who have proven time and again to throw money at you to go see these movies) is post a mini-interview with her on your Japanese Youtube page without any subtitles.
We also haven't gotten any news at all about the new Zero dubs, a conclusion to Ultra Galaxy Fight, or anything really show-related, except for Twitter posts linking to airing episodes of New Generation Stars and Leo.
I know my country isn't the main audience for this. I know that I sound like "Akino's complaining about popular things she doesn't like again." But let me put it this way: I just watched Hasbro utterly fuck over Power Rangers, a 30-year-old franchise, because they treated it as a toy business first instead of a TV show. I watched Saban fail to understand that the '90s were 20+ years ago, and they failed to put any effort into their second run of the show because they were trying to recreate MMPR. I watched Disney fail to have any interest and then when they were sold on the idea of a more grown-up, post-apocalyptic final season, undercut things by firing the executive producer when he'd just gotten things back on track.
And right now, Tsuburaya has merged with Fields, which was focused on pachinko and other merchandising so...yeah. I hope you can see where I'm a little concerned here.
Just...remember that there's a whole damn show to promote, okay?
