I'm in the midst of watching the original Ultraman thanks to Mill Creek. Say what you will but I love Ragon's face sculpt and the sense of danger the bomb creates.
This is my second time through this DVD set. I finally got the Ultraseven set from Shout and that's next in the que (not to mention finally getting my hands on Jack, Taro, Ace, Joenus, 80, and the Adventure Begins series.) I got a lot of ground to cover. But I have to ask; what is the thought on the Mebius series? Leo is my next purchase (as I want the complete Showa Era on DVD) but I'm wondering if the M bius series is a good series to grab as well. I love the design of Mebius and enjoyed watching him tear it up in The Mega MOnster Battle film (which is my personal favorite: All Hail Belial!) Anyway, glad that this thread is here and hope you don't mind my rather long winded ramble |

I've heard a lot of good things about Mebius, but haven't watched it yet. I want to finish at least Leo first, maybe 80, too.
Those shows you mentioned - Return, Ace, Taro, etc. - are any of those subbed? I'd really like to see more of the 70s stuff but the language barrier is kind of an issue. |

I watched it a while back. It was a decent series but nothing really special. Then again it was a direct to video series as I recall, so the budget probably wasn't that great to begin with.

I'm enjoying go through the thread as ljacone is commenting on the Ultraman episodes. I'm making m y back through them myself so this is cool.
REd King and Pigmon have been long standing favorites of mine in the Ultraman series of Monsters. |

It had some good things in it, but I wouldn't call it a good show.

So I finished episodes 10 and 11 of the original Ultraman rewatch and I have to comment on them as I enjoyed them both too immensely for two very different reasons.
Episode 10 was a good episode but I was touched by the end of the fight between Ultraman and Jirass (who looked somewhat familiar.. like I had seen this king lizard somewhere before... ) Up to this point Ultraman has shown up and beat the monster down and left. THis was the first time Ultraman seemed to show sadness at having to kill a monster. I loved this because it seemed that Ultraman knew that Jirass wasn't an inherently evil creature but one driven by a crazy "father". Added some pathos to a monster fight that I appreciated. So much was said with one simple action. Kudos Tsuburaya. The fight with Gyango in Episode 11 was simply hilarious and another great twist to a monster fight. Gango being a child like monster was such a nice touch and seeing Ultraman not really want to hurt this creature was a great follow up to his actions in the previous episode. Gyango was such a weird ass design too, handcuffs for hands and all. His entire fight "strategy" had me and my girlfriend laughing. The thought stone was such a weird idea but in a good way. Anyhoo, I'd forgotten how great the Ultraman series was right out of the gate. Not likely to forget again. |

For the original Ultraman series, what's the best DVD set to get? Is it subbed on blu ray here?
