Shout! Factory started taking pre-orders for the upcoming release of Ultra Q on DVD! This digital colored remaster of the predecessor of the Ultraman franchise is slated for August 13th release.
Hailed as the most expensive Japanese TV show during its time, ULTRA Q (1966) is a 28 episode series, and considered as the predecessor to the Ultraman franchise, which became a phenomenon, and one of the best-remembered shows of the 1960s. It is a cross between THE TWILIGHT ZONE and THE OUTER LIMITS, funneled through Toho Monster movies.
This 6-disc DVD set, originally released in Japan last January 27th, 2012, costs $59.97 in retail but Shout! Factory offers the set for $47.98. In addition, Amazon offers this set for $41.98.
Shout! Factory previously released Ultra Seven in North America.

maybe wait till the dvd sales before you decide to remake the series
ReplyDeleteWow! So is Shout Factory now the official US distributor of the Ultra Series? Because it would be awesome to own the entire series legally here in the US.
