Just because it is the childhood of countless post-80s and post-90s, it won the first Nebula Award in the Ultraman series, it opened the glorious history of Ultraman Heisei with its frequent appearances, and it resurrected Tsuburaya again with its might.
If Ultraman works are to be classified, they can be divided into "Ultraman Tiga" and other Ultraman works, Tiga is far ahead of other Ultraman works with a unique strength, whether it is plot, popularity or commercial value, no Ultraman work has been able to surpass Tiga.
It can be said that Tiga is a mountain in the Ultraman series, and there are only a handful of works that can be compared, let alone surpassing it, which is simply an impossible thing to accomplish.
"Ultraman Tiga" received a high score of 9.5 points on Douban, which is well deserved. And the other thing that careful fans of Ao will surely find is that it has a far more rating than all other Ultraman works combined, and its popularity is unbelievably terrifying.
Therefore, Tiga's score is actually higher than that of "Ultraman Gaia" and "Ultraman Nexus", because it can maintain a high score of 9.5 under the rating of tens of thousands of people, and its difficulty can be imagined to be not ordinary, and Tiga has withstood the test of time and is a veritable masterpiece.
The plot of Tiga, in that era, also caused a huge repercussion in society. Each episode of Tiga exposes some social phenomena and social problems, but it does not move towards the cold and serious criticism of Saiwen, but often ends in a romantic, optimistic, and hopeful way, so that people who are deep in the dark and confused can get care and hope from it.
Therefore, Tiga has become the spiritual guiding light of countless teenagers with its humanized plot style, and this positive social influence has made its popularity soar all the way and has not diminished so far.
Some people say that Tiga relies entirely on childhood filters and feelings, but this conclusion is biased. Of course, childhood filters exist, but it is impossible for everyone to score based on childhood filters and feelings.
Tens of thousands of people can score a high score of 9.5, which in itself is the best proof of Tiga's strength, unless someone can prove that there is not a rational rater among those tens of thousands.
As for Tiga's later works, it can be said that they were more or less influenced by Tiga, even if the later works have some remarkable highlights, but they failed to reproduce the glory of Tiga, which is enough to explain the problem.
