Shin Ultra Fight (2022)
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Shin Ultra Fight (シン・ウルトラファイト Shin Urutora Faito) is a Japanese 3D-animated web miniseries produced by Tsuburaya Productions, Toho, and khara which is exclusive to the Tsuburaya Imagination streaming service. A spinoff of the 2022 film Shin Ultraman, it was organized by the movie's screenwriter and executive supervisor Hideaki Anno, and supervised and partially directed by its director Shinji Higuchi. As its name implies, Shin Ultra Fight is heavily inspired by the 1970 Tsuburaya series Ultra Fight, with its creators even aiming to emulate the show's low production value by shooting episodes unscripted, leaving in errors during motion capture performances, and basing the digital environments on common shooting sites.[1] The series' first two episodes were published on May 14, 2022, with eight more following until July 4.
