Ultraman TV and Movie Licensed to Mill Creek for North Ameri

[Tom R VanSlambrouck]

I asked a similar question on FB and August said that the announcement will be made in due time. I would love to have the dub for Ultraman be included but its not a deal breaker for me, I've only watched the series once when Shout Factory released the two volumes and I rented them from Netflix.

It's pretty cool that MillCreek is bundling the linked series and movies together like this; that's not something you usually see.

If for whatever reasons MillCreek is unable to secure the dub for Ultraman in time, I wouldn't have a problem buying a dub release later on; the going price is pretty good.

Holy moly! My wallet! Dear god, my wallet!

13 Ultra releases in the next 12 months?! That's amazing. I wonder if the thinking is that they want to rush these releases to market while the legal situation is clear-cut, in case Chaiyo try to appeal the previous ruling at some point.

I dig that the classic shows and new generation shows have a different unifying box art style. I wonder if the 1996 - 2006 shows will also have a distinct design to them?

I’m not even much of an Ultra fan and this is pretty dang exciting! There’s no way I’ll be buying everything, but I’m definitely getting Ultra Q (that show is awesome!), Ultraman, and maybe UltraSeven.

As for the rest, have any streaming deals been announced or rumored? I’d be interested in checking out some of the other series and movies, but I’m not ready to blind-buy them just to see if I like them. I’m particularly curious about The Next as I remember that film getting a lot of praise for its effects when it came out.

Bottom of the flyer says they'll all be available to stream on MovieSpree.

[canofhumdingers]

Yuck. I just checked it out and it’s a third rate bottom barrel streaming service where you buy massive collections of cheap garbage for pennies. It’s the streaming version of those “100 sci-fi movies!” public domain collections.

Was hoping they’d get this stuff up one of the big services like Netflix or Prime or something. Oh well.

^ It's Mill Creek's streaming service. They're the kings of the 50 to 100 movie pack!

Frankly, I'm going to be buying all of these series whether I've seen them or not. Hell, I'm buying them all whether I like them or not too.

Two Christmases ago I got the Hong Kong Blu-ray of the Ultraman X movie because I never thought there was any possibility of release here. Just a few months ago, right before the Mill Creek announcement, I was just about to start hunting for the best deals on used copies of the Tiga DVDs and the two movies released by Image Entertainment in the '00s. I was looking up prices literally the day before the big announcement.

I'm still totally shocked about this. This is incredible.

Wow! I'll definitely be picking up ULTRA Q, ULTRAMAN and ULTRASEVEN. So cool MillCreek is going all-out with these sets. I'm really glad I didn't end up picking up any of the Chaiyo-licensed releases from Shout Factory.

It's sounding like the amazing English dub track will not make it into the release. Sub titles only.

I read August said a few days ago (on Facebook?) specs were yet to be announced. We're cutting it close, though.

I agree. Red Baron is fun and different enough from the other toku releases that i'd advise picking it up. I have Iron King, but haven't been able to get into it.
