Outside of Ultraman, I really have no idea where to start when trying to search for the most fun Tokusatsu shows of the 70s. So far, from what I can tell Kaiketsu Zubat and Fireman seem like the best place to begin if I want to have an enjoyable time. Any of you guys (August) have any suggestions?

The strong point of RED BARON is the non-stop action (more so than IRON KING, IMHO), and the last three episodes' story arc finale! I also recommend all of the shows released by Generation Kikaida/JN Productions, KIKAIDA, KAMEN RIDER V3, KIKAIDA 01 and INAZUMAN.

Here are some reviews:

Is there a chance that the original Kamen Rider series will ever make it over here?

^^ it hasn't yet which is strange because it's an amazingly moody and more horror-based show. Very cool and cross generational (teen to adult audience).

I think KR V3 is like UltraSeven. It's the second series but stands out as being "cooler" than the original.

Has GenerationKikaida contacted Tsuburaya Productions yet? I mean, if their license isn't too expensive, you would think Ultra Seven would be prime real estate, considering it used to air in the states.
