How do I get into Ultraman?

He's Red and Silver, as tall as a building, and kicks the butts of Giant Monsters!! He's also Japan's most enduring and favorite Superhero!! From Ultra Seven to Ultraman Orb, discuss the many incarnations of Ultraman here!! Let's not forget Zone Fighter! Kamen Rider! Gridman! The infinity of Toei Sentai Teams! For such a small island, Japan is bursting with colorful superheroes! Discuss Japanese Heroes here as well!!

I guess the best place to start is R1 DVDs (assuming you don't buy R2s). Tokyo Monsters has a "store" section that links to Amazon.com and Yesasia.com, and there are a few Ultraman titles on the R1 list.

I'm also interested in getting into Ultraman. I'm a complete Ultraman novice. The Next has most definitely got my attention and I've been following the movie since news first broke. I never had too much of an interest of Ultraman in the past, and even as a kid, I disliked Jet Jaguar in Godzilla vs. Megalon (now I think he's groovy!), but lately my interest in the series as a whole is growing.

I was in a Suncoast about a week ago and happened upon Ultraman Gaia: The Battle In Hyperspace (a.k.a. Ultraman Gaia, Ultraman Tiga, and Ultraman Dyna). Feeling ready and eager to embark on my Ultra-journey, I scooped it up. It's directly aimed at kids (and a lot of the Ultraman stuff is, I'm assuming) but it's real fun. If you're okay with the Mothra Trilogy, you'll like this movie. It's set in an alternate universe, and a kid wishes Ultraman "Gaia" into his world, and you can pretty much bet the events that follow. Pretty cool little flick, I don't regret buying it in the least. :color:
