I agree totally, August! Even Godzilla is hard enough to find where I am, but I don't believe Ultraman has EVER made it to the UK before. Ultimately, I have to import
everything. The price of the video/DVD, shipping, customs, etc, always make me rather skeptical, especially when I'm not really sure what to expect out of it. I bet if more toku was shown on TV on a regular basis, the fanbase would increase, at least slightly.
I never disliked Ultraman, I just never had the chance to be exposed to it. Given the chance to download a lot of the episodes, I'm now much happier about buying the R2 DVDs. Speaking of which, I just finished watching Vol.3 of the original ULTRAMAN. I'm totally
AMAZED at the quality! Beats my old boots by FAR!
Shame the ZONE FIGHTER R2s weren't as good :-\
