Ultraman...should I...?

JB and FR. Typical reactions from a fandom that has grown complacent about things like this. I bet you guys also don't care when people bootleg or download V3 or the other licensed toku. And you can NOT use the excuse that UM is licensed, because as proven here, that is false.

Not only that, but think of all the extras a legit release could've had! The B&W pre-premiere stage-show special, behind-the-scenes stuff, interviews, etc.

And let's not forget that Tsuburaya has the complete and uncut US English audio elements, which are brilliantly restored! (There was only one cut scene at the end of Episode 36, "Gift from the Sky," where a bird poops on Arashi's shoulder.)

The BCI/Mill Creek/Chaiyo release used audio elements from poor-quality cut TV airings, which explains the switches between English and Japanese in some scenes.

If Tsuburaya were involved, we'd be getting quality we deserve. That would've happened in around 2001 with Image Entertainment, before the Chaiyo thing got out of hand.

I'll never forgive Chaiyo Productions for this.

great now i feel guilty, i thought the first volumes were legit, if i had known Chaiyo was somehow involved i wouldn't have bought them.

buying these is actually hurting the chances of legit releases.

PRECISELY.

Not to mention the new Mill Creek release is bound to be a terrible set. All the problems of the BCI set only now with even worse video quality due to cramming ten episodes onto a single disc? Disgusting.

then lets make a petition to get Ultraman treated more fairly outside of Japan.

then we'll try and get Legitimate releases.

/Don't yell at me but still trying to get all 4 volumes of Tiga.

 

[Bad Wolf]

I actually hate all those extra features. It makes the price get jacked up to kingdom come.

Anyhow, since I want to view the original Ultraman, I should just download episodes?

/Don't yell at me but still trying to get all 4 volumes of Tiga.

Actually, All 4 volumes of Ultraman Tiga is legit.

 

[ryuuseipro]

Correct. It was one of the few respectable releases in the US.

 

[CaptainB_Money]

Good.

Now if only I can get all 4 volumes.
