Why does every Ultraman have an obvious zip down the back?

I'm not sure how it originally began, but these days the material that juts out like a fin is considered part of the design, even the toys have taken to using them now.

Max is a pretty awesome show all around. It's sort of a love song to the monsters of the franchise, featuring reworked versions of the monsters from throughout the years. (the star from the original show plays the commander here) I think my favorite aspect is that it's a showcase for big name directors from Japan. Takashi Miike even ends up directing some really great episodes. A pretty huge director by the name of Jissoji Akio ends up doing my favorite episode of the series as well, 22.
