Well, what can I say its Ultraman. Good, cheesy, campy Ultraman! The set includes all 39 episodes of the Ultraman series spread out on 4 discs. The last disc includes some interviews and other special features. If you're expecting awesome special effects, well then this set isn't for you. But if you appreciate Kaiju-style cinema then you will love this set. The monsters are awesome, and the show is rather entertaining. Its a great buy! You can't go wrong buying this collection!
When I saw Ultraman was available on DVD I had to get the entire series. As a kid my friends and I couldn't wait for the show to come on TV and we would sometimes act out the scenes. The storyline is simple and basic: Alien creature threatens the world (or Tokyo) and Ultraman appears to save the day. The special effects are typical of the era and by today's standards are horrible. But putting yourself back in time they are still cheesey but fun. It's like watching daily episodes of Godzilla with Godzilla getting his butt kicked every time. If you recall this show with good memories, this is a must have. I plan to show it to my kids so they can make fun of like they did when I showed them Lost In Space.
It’s a purely personal reason. I used to watch the show when I was a kid. I am a huge fan of Godzilla, and Godzilla type movies. I always thought Ultraman was very cool. And watching this set of DVDs, brings me right back to my childhood. Obviously, the show is not up to today’s special effect standard. And I think that’s what I love about it most. It was a fun show to watch as a kid, and as I said before, it takes me right back to my childhood. It came well packaged , and they play great. So glad I bought this set.

Wow. Boy was my memory of Ultraman way off. It is pretty amazing looking at these shows through 54 year old eyes. Today, we would consider this to be exceptionally BAD in every way. Lame costumes, story lines, effects (they use the same takeoff sequence for the jet for every episode...), and dialog. Seemed so INCREDIBLY cool after school back as a youth! That said- how can you not LOVE Ultraman! He is bad to the bone- always take the blinking energy meter right to the ragged edge of "never rising again" and pulls off the Monster kill. Fuji is kind of cute in here snug Science Patrol outfit and the other Science patrollers are just goofy enough to be humorous. If you were an Ultraman fan back in the day- you need to score this set to jog your memory and see what you looking at from an adult perspective. Then have a good laugh at how cool it was to be young and think Ultraman was the best in after school programming. Can't be ten years old again, but I can watch Ultraman with my soon to be 9 year old and feel like a kid again...Read full review
These people are very professional. The packaging was completely genuine - not a bootleg in any way. The price was unbelieveable, which included two day FedEx shipping. The price I paid for the DVD set alone would be the cost for the shpping, but it also included the shipping at no additional charge. There are many terrific features about this DVD set. The labels on each DVD are artistic and eye-catching. The language features allow us to move from English to Japanese with no trouble. The subtitles are another wonderful surprise. My only hope is that we can get more of these DVD's for other vintage Japanese programs, such as Shimura-Ken or other vintage USA shows (like Barney Miller, Fish, Taxi, etc.). Way to go, guys!!!!!
