Beginning in July New Ultraman Retsudan will feature the newest Ultra hero, Ultraman Ginga! Celebrating 50 years of Ultra heroes, Ginga will be at the center of a mystery which has left all Ultras and Kaiju as lifeless dolls. When young Hikaru uses his Ginga Spark and the Spark Doll of an Ultra or Kaiju he will become them and inherit their power!
Ultraman Ginga will run from July through August for it’s first 6 episodes, 5 more episodes will run from November to December, and the remaining 2 episodes of it’s run will be aired as specials. One in September and one in early 2014.
This year marks Tsuburaya Productions’ 50th Anniversary. At a special event next month (April 12th to 14th) the company is expected to reveal a new Ultraman and possibly start off another new franchise.
