I still need to check out Shin Godzilla someday. Shame nobody seems to have it on their streaming service here in the US.
You'll have to rent it.
Shin Godzilla streaming: where to watch online?
Is Shin Godzilla streaming? Find out where to watch online amongst 200+ services including Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video.
Shin can have various meanings depending on the Kanji used (True, Godly, New). However, the "Shin" for this title doesn't use kanji.
Shin Akuma is generally just "True Akuma", Akuma not holding back.
Shin Godzilla did the same thing as this movie, no kanji, so it can have any of the meanings.

iirc the connotation is more like "Divine" or "reborn" in that one's case, considering it's kind of a remake not in the same continuity as the old movies and it's more of a force of nature come to test mankind.
I dunno what to think of this, Ultraman is inherently goofier than Godzilla so I'm expecting this to flop and kill off any hope of an Anno-crafted Shin universe.
etc
Do you mean flop for Western audiences? They're not the primary concern. I assume Ultraman nostalgia is still big in Japan.

Ultraman has never done well in theaters though. So, it should be interesting to see whether this can significantly break through Ultraman's previous numbers.
The previous most successful Ultraman movie (The Superior Ultra Eight Brothers, which united protagonists from various series) only reached ¥800,000,000 in the box office. That's lower than Final Wars, the movie that killed Japanese Godzilla movies for years. And it's by far the best performing Ultraman movie.
Watch the recent Ultraman Z series. It's one of the best Ultraman series (or toku in general) in years. It's success and popularity surpassed what everybody thought it'd be.
Superhuman samurai syber Squad? nah thats something called Gridman (which had a recent anime adaptation) and its not "ultraman" .... officially he's not an ultraman, but people had jokes about it being a blatant clone/ripoff. Fun Fact, the english adaptation was the closest of the shows we had in the 90s to the source material.

The original was a pacifist movie.
The movie that spends 90 minutes griping about the restrictions put on it during WWII?
Super-human samurai syber squad was amazing and the best power rangers clone, it's from the same company that makes Ultraman but he's technically not an Ultraman.
only down for the shared universe if it's called Shinmatic Universe
In some ways, that's the point. They're modern revivals using original special effects techniques.
Shin Godzilla had him taking down a bunch of toy cars and helicopters.
Also, fun fact: Shin Godzilla won 7 Japanese Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director.

That's an interesting read into the film, and I say that with no sarcasm. The movie, to me, shows how much bureaucracy bake into the Japanese government that they didn't respond either fast enough or decisive enough to deal with a threat they facing, show by the number of time suits start the hospital walking every time the government decides to do something, they also have to pick a new location for every time the situation escalates, and the contrast between Godzilla outside destroying the city and the scene of press conference.
Doesn't look to good tbh. Loved Shin Godzilla but this does very little to me. But I'll watch anything with Masami Nagasawa so bring it on.
The Shin films (if this one's much like the last one) are critiques of Japanese bureaucratic systems and their responses to disasters more than they are big stompy monster movies.
If you want to know what the Japanese says, according to Google Translate
Title #1 - Special News
Folder - Giant Humanoid - Ultraman (tentative name) Investigation Report
Title #2 - Screenplay: Hideaki Anno
Title #3 - Director: Shinji Higuchi
Title #4 - Shin-Ultraman: Fancy Special Effect Movie
Title #5 - Early Summer 2021
I'm guessing they didn't intend for that to be translated as 'fancy', but I like it.
That was a little joke by me. :D
There were comments like this under the German version of the Shin Godzilla trailer, which also didn't have any spoken words in it.
But Thx anyways. :)
"Fancy special effects movie" sounds cool.
I must be the only one that thinks Shin Godzilla was incredibly dull, so I'm pretty reserved about this upcoming movie.
I wonder if they can come up with a scene as amazing as the atomic breath in Shin Godzilla
It ended up looking surprisingly good considering they did it with a budget of 15 million which is a fraction of what the hollywood movies need.
Endless live action reskins of Eva, endless arrangements of Decisive Battle. Like I said, I'm all for it. I can't wait for the inevitable scenes of military vehicles/equipment ineffectually firing at things
