Like several others, Ultraman is my first tokusatsu series. Watched Ultraman Taro on tv way back in the early 1990s as a kid, and the use of miniatures and giant battles fascinated me as a child, and thus planted my love for tokusatsu since. Fortunately, despite the terrible shows both Ultraman Great and Ultraman Powered were, they did not diminish my love for the Ultra series (since they are not original Japanese productions). Also, Ultraman Tiga was also shown on local tv, so the entire decade of the 90s is when I got exposed to and got hooked to the Ultra series. That and since department shops here stock on Ultraman toys, that is where I learn the names of all the other Ultras that I did not get to watch.
