* NoBudget: As the starting point of a series of New Generation Ultras, ''Ginga'' went out so badly that the setting itself is simply Furuboshi Elementary School with nowhere else except the mountain areas and only a total of four original Kaiju appeared in an 11-episode series. This came from the fact that Creator/TsuburayaProductions is still under a major financial crisis, having lost a legal battle with Chaiyo Productions back in early 2013. This is slowly averted starting in 2014, wherein Tsuburaya manages to repay ALL of their financial debts and ''Ginga S'' steadily shows an improvement in their show. With the next series ''Series/UltramanX'' and so on, the number of original-produced Ultra Kaiju suits increased by every year that even the MilestoneCelebration show ''Series/UltramanOrb'' becomes a major attraction for the worldwide view.
