Ultraman Vol.#1

[Daisho2004]

Ultraman has finally gotten a legit release from Brentwood, 3 disc set of Vol#1: it will be available on DVD on 7/18.

I have to say I've never seen any of the episodes, but I've heard a lot of good things about this series so I will be looking forward to picking this up.

Actually, there's still (http://www.dvdmaniacs.net/forums/showthread.php?t=18425&page=1&pp=15) some (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_Series#Licensing_rights_dispute) dispute (http://tinyurl.com/mftx4) over (http://tinyurl.com/gxgv7) that (http://www.henshinonline.com/).

If cliffmac is still around whats the deal with the ULTRAMAN set? I was going to buy it and then I was warned about how horrible of a release it is. Terrible sound, dvds freezing in the players, heavy pixelation...etc.

Cliffmac responded to this matter over at DVDManiacs (http://www.dvdmaniacs.net/forums/showthread.php?t=18425&page=3&pp=15), but only seemed to focus on the stuff that could be blamed on the materials used to master the DVD.

The defects that I've heard of consisted of odd colors, freezing, motion blurs, bad audio, some missing subtitles, and some minor pixelation.
