- StarsKôji MoritsuguYuriko HishimiSandayû DokumamushiAn alien superhero from M-78 protects Earth from extraterrestrial threats in this popular classic follow-up to the original "Ultraman" TV series.First viewed in late 2022. To my knowledge, this series was not screened on Australian television in the 60s or 70s. If it was screened, it was out of my reach. For most of my life I would simply not watch subtitled TV shows or movies...in 2022 I changed that view. My 2022 viewings got going on a rocky start but right from the word go - I was impressed by the opening episode (The Invisible Challenge).
- DirectorHajime TsuburayaStarsKôji MoritsuguYuriko HishimiSandayû DokumamushiTHE EARTH IS IN DANGER! Even now, fiendish hands are stretching out from the distant stars to seize the world...The Invisible Challenge.
Well presented with a great story. Played totally straight faced which I like a lot. This is better than Ultraman (1966) and better than the 70s/80s/90s Ultraman TV shows. However, totally unofficial Ultraman series - Zone Fighter (1973) - is also a winner. - DirectorSamaji NonagaseStarsKôji MoritsuguYuriko HishimiSandayû DokumamushiA strange alien rock appearing at the home of TDF agent Ishiguro is the first part of a plot to take over the Earth. Soon an alien plant creature stalking the street and turning its victims into plant monsters themselves.The Green Terror.
This took a few repeat viewings to grow on me. - DirectorSamaji NonagaseStarsKôji MoritsuguYuriko HishimiSandayû DokumamushiTDF agents are sent to investigate a crashed alien spacecraft, a strange girl appears and leads our heroes on a merry chase, and soon it is revealed to be a plot to steal Dan's Ultra Eye and his ability to transform into Ultraseven.The Secret of the Lake.
Mind-blowing images of a flying saucer. - DirectorKazuho MitsutaStarsKôji MoritsuguYuriko HishimiSandayû DokumamushiA new classified ship for the TDF is sent out to investigate the disappearance of several vessels, unfortunately, this results in the "MAX" being captured in an alien tractor beam and taken into space.Respond, Max.

Toy story. The miniature effects here are terrible. Perhaps is was episodes like this that prevented this series from being better known outside of Japan??

Toy story Part 2. The miniature effects here are even worse than Part 1....because the battle was filmed in the studio tank. Water is often the killer of good miniature effects.

The comical tone makes it different to Ultraseven but there is just something special about it. With more than 50 episodes to watch, this will keep me busy for a while.
