Last month, director Hideaki Anno (Neon Genesis Evangelion, Shin Ultraman) attended the Tsuburaya Film Festival, in which episodes of Ultraman Taro that he personally handpicked were screened.
The director chose four episodes and these episodes are:
Ultraman Taro recentl celebrated its 50th anniversary and in that event, Anno revealed that he was a first year junior high student when the series had its original broadcast. However, he was the only one among his peers who watched the show. He felt that those around him did not think shows from Ultraman Ace and onward were good, and people his age reject all but certain Ultraman entries.
The director felt sorry for those who won't change their minds after rejecting something when they were young. Even if that's the case, he continues to show his appreciation of shows like Ultraman Ace, Ultraman Taro, and Ultraman Leo.
