Mill Creek Entertainment has been releasing entire live-action Ultraman series from the vast Tsuburaya Productions Co., Ltd library (five-decades worth of programming) since October of 2019. On Sept. 14, they take a break from the live-action feature films and multi-episode live-action collections to introduce one of Tsuburaya’s animated adventures inspired by Ultraman characters.
Titled The Ultraman: The Complete Series, it will be available as six-disc DVD collection and features all 50 episodes from the show’s 1979/80 broadcast season. The series is something of a hybrid in that it is considered a cross between standard animation and traditional Japanese anime.
The series revolves around a series of mysterious events that catch the Earth Defense Force off guard when monsters (Kaiju) suddenly appear out of nowhere. Standing against this onslaught is Chōichirō Hikari (voiced by Kei Tomiyama), who is secretly bonded with Ultraman Joneus … he keeps the secret from other members of the Science Guard, but it becomes more and more difficult, especially after he “dies” fighting the Spirit Parasite.
The entire animated series is present in Japanese with English subtitles.
Also added to the release calendar this past week by Mill Creek Entertainment is another one of their popular Blu-ray double-features.
On Oct. 5, fans of Vince Vaughn will be pleased to see the release of the Vince Vaughn Double Feature Blu-ray, which includes both director Peyton Reed’s 2006 smash comedy, The Break-Up, teaming Vaughn with Jennifer Aniston as well as director Ron Howard’s buddy comedy from 2011, The Dilemma, which features Vince Vaughn, Kevin James, Jennifer Connelly and Winona Ryder.
