Ultraman

We were cruizin around a bit the other day while the cave was being bombed for fleas. We ended up in Kapolei and checked out the Target store there. I've seen the Ultraman DVD at a few other places before but Target had it for $5! I"m not sure if this is the same one as the others I have seen because this one is season one, volume one and the others may have been for the complete set but for $5 how could I pass it up?

I have vaguely remember anything about the show, I remember how Ultraman looked and his cross arm finishing pose (as seen on the cover) but not much else. I believe I also had a Ultra 7 pocket LCD game when I was a kid but didn't realize that there was an Ultra Family until I was a bit older.

We got back tot he cave and popped in the DVD and had a marathon of the first 10 episodes! A bit corny and hokey but tokusatsu fun none the less. The Japanese theme is as catchy as any great Japanese hero theme and fun to hum/sing along to...of course, the American/English version of the same song is a bit corny but if you were introduced to that version first it may not be so bad. Kinda like how I enjoy the US Speed Racer theme as well as the Japanese one because I was introduced to the US version first.

Anyway, the DVD was fun to watch and we just gotta find some time to pop in disc 2 and watch the next 10 episodes.
