Product Description
When the world is threatened by alien invaders and giant prehistoric monsters, there is only one agency equipped to handle the situation, The Science Patrol, an ultra-sophisticated police force equipped with high-tech weaponry and spacecrafts. Led by Captain Muramatsu, the team defends the planet from the unknown. Unbeknownst to the team, one of their members, Hayata, has the ability to transform himself into the giant superhero from Nebula M7B, Ultraman, when all their weaponry and skills can't stop their foes!
Created by special effects wizard Eiji Tsuburaya (Godzilla, Mothra), the 1960's television series Ultraman remains one of Japan's most beloved science-fiction exports. Airing between 1966 and 1967 with a total of 39 episodes, the live-action series followed a high-tech police force and their alien superhero Ultraman as they battled to save the Earth from invading aliens and monsters. This collection presents the complete series in original un-cut and re-mastered editions. Special features include English Subtitles, U.S. Opening Credits and interviews with the English dub team of Peter Fernandez, Corrine Orr and the late Earl Hammond (the team that also voiced the English version of Speed Racer).

I thought this DVD set would be nice and nostalgic to have. My adult self sees the crude special effects, the incongruent dubbing, and the formulaic plots. And guess what? I still love it! So much of my childhood is gone. The house I grew up in is gone, to make way for the gentrification of the (not so nice) neighborhood. My parents are gone, lost to the frailties of the human body. My friends are gone, scattered to the wind. My toys are gone, some given to the less fortunate and others lost to my own negligence or circumstances beyond my control. But now, I have Ultraman back! Not only do I have Ultraman, I have the whole Ultraman universe to explore.
Oh, I still have a crush on Fuji!
It's about what you would expect from a 1960s Japanese giant monster feature. The monsters that Ultraman battles are as fake looking as those found in Godzilla movies, but that is part of the fun! The Science Patrol is made up of a team of investigators who seek out monsters that threaten the Earth, especially Japan. They have amazing laser weapons and V/TOL aircraft that usually only succeed in angering the monsters but not killing them. Ultraman always comes to their rescue to defeat the monsters in the end. The team car is a Chevrolet Corvair. I suppose the Corvair looked futuristic at the time and the series is supposed to be set in the future.
My favorite character is the lone female on the team, "Fuji." She is a petite beauty that was the object of my affection when I was a 10-year-old kid and after seeing her on video for the first time in 30 years, I remember why. The producers usually shove her to the background of the stories ("Fuji, you stay here by the radio while we go after the monster") but occasionally, they build entire episodes around her and they don't disappoint. In episode 14, "The Pearl Oyster Defense Directive," the producers went out of their way to showcase her beauty. We get to see Fuji in civilian clothes, dressed to the nines wearing jewelry and looking like a fashion model. Another episode shows her in a form-fitting scuba suit. But it's all very innocent and harmless.
In summary, Ultraman the Complete Series is good nostalgic fun that your kids will love and you can't beat the price.
Now, on with the review. After occasionally catching a Power Ranger show a few years back, I knew that I would need to steer my young son clear of this influence (the kids are always fighting and sarcastic with each other.) Anyway, my comment in seeing the "power" rangers would be, "Ultraman could defeat these guys." My boy became curious as to who I was talking about, and when the Ultraman DVDs were released back in 2006, I was able to show him.
Talk about the memories that this show rekindles. The first time the show's theme song began to play, I got chills. I was immediately taken back to my grandmother's house in rural Pennsylvania (we didn't get Ultraman in Texas in the '70s.) I watched a few episodes with my son and I could still recall some of the details in the story line that I hadn't seen for thirty years. Over time, I have managed to find Ultraman action figures that my son loves, and even a beta capsule that makes the familiar sound.
I bought this latest release because over the three years, nephews have managed to scratch the older DVDs. Now, each one will have their own set for Christmas (hard to beat at this price.)
If you remember Ultraman as he was, your memory will probably be stirred by this set. If you are new to the original Ultraman, you'll have to dial back your current expectation level of special effects and sound quality, but hopefully you will still be able to appreciate the presentation of how things were in the almost forty years ago.
I used this series to springboard my son's exposure to the Godzilla movies of the '60s and '70s. Enjoy.

Indispensable en la colección de todo fan de la serie; cuando la veía por TV en mi niñez, nunca la ví completa, por lo que no podía dejar pasar la oportunidad de tenerla.
Ampliamente recomendada.
