What happens

Ultraman Max (ウルトラマンマックス, Urutoraman Makkusu) is a Japanese tokusatsu series produced by Tsuburaya Productions and Chubu-Nippon Broadcasting Company. Released as the fourteenth entry (twentieth overall) in the Ultra Series, it aired from July 2, 2005, until April 1, 2006. The show aimed to return to the fast-paced formula of encountering a new monster each week, similar to the previous series, with the exception of Ultraman Nexus. On October 10, 2014, Crunchyroll announced that the series would be broadcast on their streaming service starting on October 17, 2014, in the US, Canada, Latin America, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. On January 27, 2017, the US television channel TOKU announced that the series would be broadcast in the United States on its channel beginning February 27, 2017, making it the fifth Ultra Series to air in the United States after Ultraman, Ultraseven, Ultraman: Towards the Future (filmed in Australia), Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero (filmed in the U.S.) and Ultraman Tiga.
