Ultraman Orb Special Preview Airs Week Before Premiere

Published on July 2, 2016

Tsuburaya put together an Ultraman Orb Special ahead of its premiere next week.

Ultraman Orb is the latest entry in the Ultra Series, and marks the landmark franchise’s 50th anniversary. This special occasion has brought with it some changes for the series. Specifically, the long-running anthology show Shin Ultraman Retsuden moved to a new Saturday morning timeslot, and then aired its final episode last week.

Orb will inherit that slot on July 9th, but occupying that space this week was the special preview episode, which offered fans a look at the upcoming show, its characters, and Orb’s main forms.

Watch the special preview episode below, an interview with star Hideo Ishiguro, and a 30sec preview of Ultraman Orb episode 1, as well as the last Retsuden, “Ultra Heroes Forever.”
