Title
Shin Ultraman

Sexy depiction

A scene in which a female analyst walks around in a huge, short skirt is controversial. In the scene, the camera is looking up from below, and the audience feels as if they are peering into her skirt. In Japanese anime, such sexy depictions are allowed (and even welcomed), but are they not allowed in live-action films?

Causes of Difficulty in Viewing

Shin Ultraman is often difficult to watch because of its overall unique visuals. One factor is that there are too many "jissoji angles. The "Jissoji angle" refers to a unique style of camera work and visual expression developed by Akio Jissoji, a director known for his Japanese TV dramas and movies, especially the "Ultraman" series. For example, the shooting method of placing an object between the subject and the camera produces a unique visual effect. Akio Jissoji is said to have developed this technique to hide his filming equipment. By placing objects in the foreground and covering most of the screen, the filming equipment is made invisible.

In addition, there are scenes in which small characters move from one end of the screen to the other, making it difficult for the viewer's eyes to catch up with them in some places.

In addition, some scenes in this film were shot with an iPhone. This is also a cause of the difficulty in viewing the film due to the mixture of the clear, clean image quality of the cinema camera and the slightly rough image quality of the iPhone.
