ウルトラマンギンガ
Ultraman Ginga is a series made to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Tsuburaya Productions, and is part of Shin Ultraman Retsuden. The series is split into two, with the first half airing from July to August, and the second airing from November to December. In addition, there are two movies, and a special episode.
Story
In a distant past, a war broke out between all Ultramen and kaiju. During the war, an unknown force appeared and, using the power of the Dark Spark, turned all Ultramen and kaiju into dolls. The dolls were flung across space into a parallel universe's Earth where Ultramen and kaiju do not exist. One of these dolls, Ultraman Taro, has since been searching for the antithesis to the Dark Spark - the Ginga Spark, and the chosen one that can wield its power.
