Well, it might not have worked for you Gfan54, but that doesn't mean that others wouldn't have enjoyed it. During the 1970s, there were more than sixty different superhero series on Japanese television -- the genre was extremely popular, which is why Jet Jaguar was conceived in the first place. Many of these shows are fondly remembered, and considered classics, which is why ZONE: THE HUMAN METEOR (aka ZONE FIGHTER), was released on Laserdisc and DVD twice, respectively.
You don't have to like ZONE, but you can't deny its popularity in Japan, either. If you don't like it, you don't have to watch it. Ne?

That's how I've felt all of my life -- my earliest memories are watching ULTRAMAN, SPEED RACER, MARINE BOY, EIGHTH MAN, JOHNNY SOKKO, etc. -- and seeing Japanese SF/Monster movies on TV, like STARMAN, MOTHRA, GORATH, etc. As I got older, I gravitated towards the movies more -- since a lot of the TV shows disappeared from television -- and there was a boom in the popularity of Japanese monster movies across the US (reflected in magazines like The Monster Times and Famous Monsters).
Then I discovered our local Japantown, and then it was all over -- I was introduced to tons of Japanese monsters and superheroes in books, magazines, manga, records, posterbooks and toys! They fascinated me -- I had to know more about them! I wanted to see them! This was followed by the local Japanese-American television broadcasts of KIKAIDA, BRAVE RAIDEEN, GORANGER, DAI-APOLLON, etc. It was great to be growing up in San Francisco. Then came THE SPACE GIANTS, SPECTREMAN and STAR BLAZERS!
So, there's no way I can be selective -- if I get bored of Godzilla, I can just focus my energy on Kamen Rider, Ultraman, Barom-1, Mazinger Z, etc. Variety is indeed the spice of life!
