Ultraman TV and Movie Licensed to Mill Creek for North Ameri

[Jinzo Ningen]

I don't recall seeing it in any of the press releases, but does anyone here know whether or not Ultraman 80 will be part of the wave of releases? I know the show was remastered in hi-def a couple of years back, so BD-worthy materials do exist. Just wondering, as it's one of my favorites of the Showa period. (Same with the animated show.)

I don't think Ultraman 80 got the high def treatment yet, did it? Ultraman Leo is the most recent blu-ray release over in Japan.

I am totally ignorant as to what Ultra Series have been released on Blu-ray in Japan.

Yeah, no, the last Showa set they've released was Leo last December.

Finished Ultraman last night. Such a joy to revisit. I do need to ask, do they ever explain in other series why Dada's faces keep changing? I always thought there were 3 different Dadas, as that is how the subs from the DVDs described it to me, but the new subs specifically stated he was only one being.

I also have to say that now knowing the whole series, the last three episodes were clearly written as the end. I loved how it develops Ide into wondering if the SSSP is even needed and going from there.

I have some extra Amazon credit and am considering these first two sets (more seriously, always wanted them) but am wondering if both Ultra Q and Ultraman have the subtitle issues or just Ultraman? Not sure if it’s worth grabbing one or both as-is or hoping for a fixed version of whichever is afflicted.

Finally finished Ultra Q. I started with Ultraman just because it's always been familiar to me. After years of owning the S!F set I never made it past 3 episode. I'm glad I went through them all. Quite a bit of Twilight Zone influence indeed. I can't believe I never noticed before what a beauty Hiroko Sakurai is though. Probably because in Ultraman she always was in uniform. In Ultra Q, she is quite a sight, and a great personality to contrast with the other actors. Well I feel fulfilled now. I've seen Orb once when it was new, but never seen any of Geed. Looking forward to them both on a few weeks.

If anyone hasn't yet ordered MillCreek's Ultra releases, they are all a part of Target's Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale; even the preorders for UltraSeven, Ultraman Orb, and Ultraman Geed.

Ultra Q and Ultraman are $21.99 for the regular edition, and $24.99 for the steelbooks. Orb and Geed are each $21.99. And UltraSeven is $22.99 for the regular and $27.99 for the steelbook.

[O.Supreme]

That is awesome. Thanks for the heads up. I pre-ordered all 3, plus 5% red card discount, works out to about $15.35 per set for these three!

For those who just want the the Ultraman Orb and Ultraman Geed movies and not the shows, or for those who just can't wait two more weeks to own the movies, reveals that Mill Creek has made special movie-only BRD editions that are now available exclusively to Walmart customers.

Hmmm...not sure who would want just the movies, but ok. It makes sense considering Spree also has them available to download now

I finished off Disc 3 today. I liked Ultra Q but I'm enjoying Ultraman more. I'm not sure if its because there's more episodes or more variety of giant monsters but Ultraman just feels better to me. Looking forward to Ultraseven next month.

As for Geed and Orb I'll wait until I get to them chronologically. Unless I get word of them going OOP before I get there.

Taro is next for Showa right? Then Leo then Return of Ultraman/Ultraman 80?

^ It happens a couple of times... but it's still pretty negligible. I doubt it'll be considered reason enough for redoing it.
