Excellent. I'm definitely buying Z. Very quirky show with some great action direction.

No home video announcement yet, but they've announced that the current English dubbing group is redubbing the Ultraman Zero movie trilogy. Kinda weird, but also kinda obvious; Zero is a kind of signature character for the brand and I can see the logic in having a well-produced English version available for his thing.

Wait, they're redubbing movies that already have English dubs on the North American blu-ray discs that have been out for years now? Are the existing dubs that bad?

Yeah, the William Winkler produced dubs are... let's say, not the kind of first impression Tsuburaya would like to make if they want newbies to watch one of their signature projects.

The standout cast member from those original dubs was Daniel Van Thomas as Zero, and he'll be back - but not as Zero; he'll be playing Rei in the new dub. Sean Schemmel (that's Goku himself!) will play Zero.
