But wait, the excitement doesn't stop there! Crunchyroll is adding some tokusatsu flavor to its catalog in the form of Ultraman Max. The 2005 series—which features episode direction from the likes of Takashi Miike (Audition, Ichi the Killer), Shusuke Kaneko ('90s Gamera trilogy), and more—launches on October 14.

Ultraman Max is categorized as Drama and will be available in the United States, Canada, Latin America, UK, Australia, and New Zealand.

Synopsis:
In the very first episode a strange visitor from space notices Toma's bravery when the young man risks his own life to help save a lost little boy from danger. The alien gives Toma the power to become the mighty superhero Ultraman Max, a towering red and silver giant 40 meters tall. When two gigantic monsters threaten the world, Toma uses his new powers to destroy them.

The captain of Team DASH, the elite squad that defends Earth from otherworldly dangers, soon learns of Toma's brave actions and invites Toma to join Team DASH at their headquarters in Base Titan, a massive off-shore structure in Tokyo Bay. Their super weapons include the fighter jets DASH Bird 1 and DASH Bird 2 as well as the jet engine equipped super car DASH Alpha. The other members of DASH include Agent Koba, the hot-headed weapons exper, Agent Mizuki, DASH's ace pilot as brave as she is beautiful, Agent Sean from America, and Agent Tabata, who creates and maintains the team's super weapons. Also on the team are two android members, Ellie, who looks like a beautiful girl but is really a high powered super computer, and her companion Coco, a cute robot mascot.

Giant monsters and colossal superheroes from Japan’s incredible Ultra series continue to invade the streaming video offerings at Crunchyroll. Recently, Ultraman Max and Ultraman Mebius have appeared on the site and now, my hero, Ultraman Leo has emerged as the latest addition to the catalog!

All-Access users will be able to view the whole series today, and free users will be getting 10 episodes per week starting with 1-10 today!

The 7th entry in Tsuburaya Productions’ Ultra series, Ultraman Leo ran from 1974 -1975 and represents the end of a classic era in Japanese tokusatsu (“special effects”) TV shows. Sure, it’s goofy, what with the rubber monsters and wobbly effects and all, but it’s also action packed, imaginative, and charming as hell. As your editor in chief, I personally endorse all 51 episodes and pretty much demand that you at least watch a little bit of the first episode now.

Official synopsis

Ultraman Leo comes from Nebula L77. He comes to Earth as a second home after his native land has been destroyed by Alien Magma.

On Earth, Ultraman Leo takes the human form of Gen Otori, a gym coach at a local sports club. After witnessing the fight between Ultra Seven and Alien Magma where Seven hurt his leg and lost his power to transform into the giant fighter, Leo accepts the mission to defend the Earth on Seven’s behalf. He joins MAC (Monster Attack Crew) with Seven as the captain, receives rigorous training and transforms into the gigantic Ultraman Leo when things get out of control.

Unlike the rest of Ultraman warriors, Leo's fighting style is featured in martial arts giving him far greater physical abilities than any of the other Ultra Brothers. He, along with his brother Astra, is awarded the title to become a member of the Ultra Brothers.

Takeshi Yamato, a twenty-two year old young man lives a double life. During the day time, he is a rookie but popular science teacher at a junior high school in Tokyo. But after school and on Sundays he works as a member of the elite UGM(Utility Government Members), an earth defense organization which tackles difficult situations such as alien invasion and attacks from monsters. When the situation gets out of control, Takeshi transforms into a 50 meter tall mighty warrior, Ultraman 80 and knocks down the most terrifying monster to save the day.

As Ultra Flares from the sun blanket the Earth, Spark Dolls that had been hidden underground and in the sea are turned into monsters. In order to deal with the sudden outbreak of invading aliens, humanity arms itself with machines of super science and forms the defensive team Xio.

15 years later... A member of Xio, Oozora Daichi, hears a mysterious voice while in combat against a monster. "Unite..." Just as Daichi is on the verge of being obliterated by the creature, he finds himself bathed in a radiant light.

"You and I have united! With our hearts as one, we will fight this monster!" Having joined with the mysterious being of light, Ultraman, Daichi becomes Ultraman X to face threats against Earth!

Pyranger hat geschrieben:Crunchyroll wird die kommende neue Ultra-Serie Ultraman X als simulcast anbieten. Das heißt, man kann die Folgen bereits 2 Stunden nach der Ausstrahlung in Japan gesubbt auf Crunchyroll streamen. Diesmal soll die Serie übrigens Weltweit ausgetrahlt werden, so das man die Serie wohl hier auch ohne Unblocker/Proxy empfangen kann.

Übrigens scheint der von mir gepostete Link ein Fan-Edit mit neu unterlegten Sound zu sein (hab mich schon gewundert warum sie den recht unpassenden Original-Theme verwendet haben).

In an era of global terrorism, how would people really react to a mysterious alien that battled deadly monsters on Earth? Would a suspicious human race be capable of viewing that Ultraman as a friend? Ultraman Nexus follows Kazuki Komon, a first responder who joins the Night Raiders, a secret group that battles murderous monsters called Space Beasts. Komon's life is changed after the mysterious giant called Ultraman saves his life, but is shocked to find that the Night Raiders' parent organization, TLT, is inclined to view Ultraman as a threat.

At the dawn of the 21st century, the Earth faces destruction. Its savior turns out to be super- intelligent college student Gamu Takayama, who bonds with the mysterious light of Ultraman Gaia in order to stop devastating attacks by inscrutable aliens. Gaia receives the support of Earth defense organization X.I.G., but soon finds himself clashing with another mysterious giant, Ultraman Agul, who thinks protecting the Earth doesn't necessarily mean protecting humans
