5.0 out of 5 stars Great Job! Good Series, April 5 2009

By	Richard M. Law - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I grew up long after the original Ultraman series ended. However I am fascinated by the series and these DVDs are one of the best things I could have bought! These are great!

4.0 out of 5 stars A blast from the past, Mar 4 2008

By	Yves-Michel "B movie bum" (Montreal Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

The flaws are numerous. But who cares..... This is a cult serie in the true sense of the word. Put it on your TV, while guys in their 40s and 50s are in the room and you will get an instant winner. It just HAD to be re-issued.

4/5 stars is due to the lack of extras to the package.

4.0 out of 5 stars At long last!, Jul 26 2006

By	E. Jean Guerin "Orsonzilla" (Montreal, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've been collecting videos for 25 years. Ultraman is one of my all time favorite TV shows and it's been a priority of mine to acquire from day one.

Ultraman has become a bit of a frustration: No TV market I was ever part of broadcast it while I owned a VCR. The only way I've been able to reminisce about this series was through a friend's japanese laserdiscs. There was one overpriced 4-episode VHS in the late 80s but the prospect of chucking that amount 10 times was pretty discouraging.

The incomplete dialogue comes from the simple fact that episodes got trimmed by about 2 minutes per episodefor US distribution. The most obvious evidence of those trims comes during the opening credits where the english theme song is repeated in order to accomodate the running time.

This makes having an english soundtrack that perfectly matches an impossibility. Frankly, I prefer the paste up job done here as it retains the original dub (which is part of the nostalgia value of the show) while providing us with with the full content of the japanese versions- gory bits and all. Recent "redubs" of "Giant Robo" and "Mysterians" have been disappointing.

This release also favors using the original japanese soundtrack in the monster fight scenes which is another bonus as , for some reason, Ultraman's "grunts" as well as his famous battle cry "Suwatch!" were not part of the sound effects track.

This release isn't perfect - but given the circumstances- it's M78 sent.
If you require 5.1 state of the art sound- skip this release.
If you're nostalgic about the show - get it!

I can't wait for volume 2.
