Hey, I got my copy of the entire Ultraman series - all 39 episodes. I was a steal at $12 (You can find it here at Amazon.com: Ultraman Complete Series (http://www.amazon.com/Ultraman-Complete-Akiji-Kobayashi/dp/B002DQSKLU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1254806584&sr=1-1))
Anyway - anyone remember seeing the show when it was in America, (when it was dubbed) I'm only through 4 episodes - but it's a pretty fantastic series. The special effects are simply awesome - continuing the work begun with Godzilla.
I'm watching it in the original Japanese, with subtitles. (It's also dubbed, but some parts of episodes aren't (scenes that where original cut and never dubbed) They also had a good behind the scene feature of the voice cast behind the dubbed Ultraman. It's the same group who dubbed Speed Racer.)
My only problem is Ultraman's horribly short life-span on Earth. One second into battle and that warning light is already blinking. He really has to time his battles well.
