Ranked #26,807 in Entertainment, #329,866 overall

Ultraman is the most popular supehero in Japanese culture of the past 40 years. Yet, in America it can be hard to find your footing when it comes to trying to find info and media related to the genre. But the web where it all lies. If your looking here then you may be new to the series.

The world that Eiji Tsuburaya (also the effects director that imagined the original Godzilla) started has spawned hundreds of lookalikes and sequels. This includes Gamera, Kamen Rider and Super Sentai (better known as Power Rangers in the U.S.).

But you don't have to look far to find more to quench your thirst.

How to get in on the action!

A great way of getting the latest and most up to date news would be by joining forums. For those of you who don't know what a forum is, it's a community commonly referred to as a message board, where you can discuss and trade the latest news and info about your favorite subjects like movies and music.

Since we here in America sometimes are in the dark when it comes to being informed of the newest Japanese updates forums are perfect to begin with. Some specialize on things more than others, these are the top when it comes to members and general quality.
