Ultraman Towards the Future, which stars Great, is available to watch for free on Hulu.
Tiga is the first Hesai Ultra series. Hence what I mean by "you can't get any more 'Early Hesai' than Tiga." It's a fairly straight forward Ultraman show, so it has some darker episodes but generally it's an adventure show. Ultraseven X is almost Orwellian in it's tone, if you want something dark and moody. Plus it's only 12 episodes. I will look up both shows, thanks. |

Went ahead and bought The Revenge of Belial and Ultraman Saga on DVD. My wife is going out of town this weekend so it should be a perfect opportunity to watch Ultra Galaxy: Mega Monster Battle: The Movie.

DL'ed Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey from Ultrafanz. Need to see the first UGMMB series first, though. I know GUIS had episodes 1-12 done, but I have not been able to get them. I'll have to try to find a torrent for them I guess.
I know that there is a poor HK style dub available online (in the first scene, the monster Chandora is translated as "Joan Dora," ) if it comes down to that.

So, I got the complete series set of TOS (is that trademarked?) for Christmas last year, and I've been taking small bits of Ultraman when I've got the time and am in the mood for a quick burst of Showa kaiju action.
Definitely really like the suits, the vehicles, and most of the human cast. Choreography doesn't seem to take full advantage of the fact that the hero is humanoid, at least at the point I'm at now (just watched episode 3 today). The building miniatures vary in quality, but that's to be expected from a TV budget. Overall, a fun show. Really looking forward to watching more, seeing how the series evolves over time. Also, Hoshino is an idiot. They should strap that kid to a chair at Science Patrol HQ and be done with it.

And yeah, Hoshino is a pain, but don't worry -- he disappears for large patches once you get past the first part of the series. He is not a constant fixture over all 39 episodes.

Ultraman properly started in 1966 with the series Ultra Q. This show is sort of like a Showa version of The X-Files. It did not have any giant heroes but did have monsters. The first Ultra Hero is Ultraman, who first appeared in his eponymous series in 1966-1967. This introduced the basic concept of the series -- giant alien hero helps a team of humans fight monsters and aliens. The progression in the Showa era is as such: Ultraman Ultraseven Return of Ultraman Ultraman Ace Ultraman Taro Ultraman Leo Ultraman 80 The series went on a hiatus for most of the 80s, save for a few specials and movies. It was revived in the Hesai era in 1990, with the Aussie co-production Ultraman: Towards The Future (AKA Ultraman Great). This was followed up with an American produced series (which never aired in America) called Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero in 1993 (AKA Ultraman Powered). Tsuburaya brought the show back in house in 1996 with Ultraman Tiga. Ultraman: Towards The Future Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero Ultraman Tiga Ultraman Dyna Ultraman Gaia Ultraman Neos (direct to DVD series) Ultraman Cosmos Ultraman Nexus Ultraman Max Ultraman Meibus Ultraseven X After Ultraseven X, the show switched up a little bit, and started the Ultra Galaxy shows, which lead into the Ultraman Zero movies. Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy The Movie Ultraman Zero: The Revenge of Belial Ultraman Saga After Saga, we got the "mini" show Ultraman Zero Fight, and the upcoming show is Ultraman Ginga. In addition to the shows there have been several movies throughout the years, ranging from re-jiggered episodes in the Showa era, to the relatively large budget Ultraman: The Next theatrical film from 2004. There have also been specials, gaidens some kids shows, remakes, and so forth. Most of the shows follow the same general format as I mentioned above -- the Ultra hero helping out a team of humans who defend the Earth. Within each series there will be different details, conflicts, enemies, and allies. Some shows break the mold. The Ultra Galaxy shows deal with heroes and villains who can summon classic Ultra Monsters to fight for them. Ultraseven X dispatches the Monster Of The Week format frequently to present a dystopian 1984-esque future. The Zero movies and Zero fight take place in the Land Of The Light, and thus focus on the Ultras themselves moreso than humans or Earth. Ultraman and Ultraseven are available on commercial DVD here in the US. Ultraman Tiga was available as well but those DVDs are out of print. You can get most all of the shows Raw, and there are some fansubs out there as well, though not nearly a complete set. You can find some on KRDL.info and more if you search. You can also watch Ultraman and Ultraman: Towards The Future in English for free on Hulu. Hope this helps!

You can get Raws of just about everything here at Tokuzilla, but they are very slow to download: http://tokuzilla.me/
