It wasn't really 'that' much forgotten if Neos became THE face of the Ultra franchise for a while following Cosmos' temporary issues. Also, you didn't mention Tsuburaya making the Heisei Ultraseven series around the time, that likely helped during their own financial troubles in the mid 90's.
That would likely be saved for a different video, as it was an entirely different background. Upon researching Neos’s production, Heisei Seven didn’t come up once. Honestly I was a little surprised myself.
@@SciFiLOLproductions That's fair enough as that it's to do more with Ultraman Cosmos the it does Neos, Neos was just there and Tsuburaya took advantage of a bad situation at the time. That is strange that Heisei Ultraseven was never mentioned.
@@David315842 as for the saying of him being forgotten but also the face is Tsuburaya for years, it was a technicality due to the legal dispute with Chaiyo. To the point that Mill Creek hasn’t even made a BluRay release and only a DVD one. Not much modern merch, no video game appearances, sidelined as a side character in other Ultra projects, he’s hardly ever a serious thought by Tsuburaya nowadays. Even when I took to Reddit and asked the Ultra fans there for a section of this video that ultimately went unused, hardly anyone had anything to say about him, other than, “Oh yeah, he exists, I forgot.”
@@SciFiLOLproductions As you mentioned he looked enough like the original, but different enough to avoid legal issues, but this just proved that Sompote Sands was getting too big for his britches and even then he was a pathological liar. Supposedly the original deal was only for International Distribution outside of Japan, and even then it was only everything up to Ultraman Leo at that point. He kept changing the conditions and stories of ownership and how the series came to be that everyone soon saw him as nothing but a liar, at least the fans came to see that and knew Tsuburaya were the real creators and showrunners. The early Mill Creek DVD release of the first series and Shout Factory's DVD releases of Ultra Q and Ultraseven were finalised not by Tsuburaya, but by Golden Media Group, as it turns out this was Sompote Sands again, setting up that company to illegally sell the Ultra Series rights to home distributors. They likely only had lower quality prints which was why Blu-rays were released until Tsuburaya won their court case against them and officially gave higher quality episodes to Mill Creek for their later Blu-ray releases and so on. Neos himself probably gets forgotten as he was only a 12 episode OVT (original video tokusatsu) and who closely resembles the original Ultraman and those other ones who look like him like Jack etc., that it is VERY easy to forget him. I knew that there was a Ultraman called Neos, though I actually thought that he came much later, like toward the end of the 2000's or early 2010's. Fortunately with Mill Creek's help and that DVD release, that should help give Neos and by extension Ultraseven21 a bit more exposure now. :)
If by disconnected you mean if it’s standalone then yes. It’s very much its own feel from the TDG trilogy, and has its own set of characters and stories it’s able to stand on. The crew behind it were relatively different than the ones who worked on TDG and Cosmos, for the most part anyways.
Neos is honestly my personal favourite Ultra, it has a pretty cool design and good story

Hi Wolf-Kaiju :3
Video is great dude!
Does it feel much like Tiga/Dyna/Gaia or does it feel more disconnected

nice video
