It kind of looks like fun. I've only watched the basic Ultraman series, on that set Target clearanced for $5. It was neat, but each episode is pretty much the same. I don't know anything about the rest of the series. Where does Ultraman Leo figure in?

gotta love the ultra Kaiju

it is so cheesy it's great and since kids STILL love power rangers it could be a huge success

It would be cool to see a big budget Ultraman film. But that will never happen. The Japanese spit these movies out for pennies on the dollar and make big bucks from little effort. It's too bad. These could be kick arse.

Ultraman Leo was the 5th Ultra tv series in the 70s…
1. Ultraman (second Ultra brother, Ultraman Zoffy, appears in last episode)
2. UltraSeven (dubbed version from Turner available on bootleg market)
3. Ultraman Ace (Malaysian English dubs available)
4. Ultraman Taro (4th series, 5th Ultra brother, Malaysian English dubs available)
5. Ultraman Leo (I've never seen English dub of this)

All the series do seem to follow the same "format", but that's part of the fun. Giant monster vs hero action in a nutshell!

I dunno; the Japanese are just as susceptible to nostalgia as us. I think what spares the Ultra Brothers is that there's always a new series going, and they tend to be kiddied up; so they drown out the memories. But it's only a matter of time 'til someone decides to "get to the roots" of the franchaise.

TECHNICALLY the sixth; don't forget "Ultra Q."
