Ultraman!
















As a kid, I watched a lot of Battle Of The Planets cartoons. I loved it. Sci-fi super heroes with gadgets and cool costumes. I loved the adventures of G-Force vs. Voltar and I always wondered what the hell Keyop was saying. It wasn’t until recently though that I discovered Ultraman and all of it’s awesomeness. Originally a live action Japanese Sci-fi special effects kids show, it was brought to America and dubbed. It features a cool Science Team of heroes that fight big Godzilla style monsters from outer space. I talked to George and Costa recently and it seems that they were hooked on the show when they were younger. Every episode seems to have the same plot, but it doesn’t matter. All we really want to see is the big knock-down drag-out fight at the end between Ultraman and the evil baddie. Guess who always wins? Over the holidays, I found a cheapo DVD collection of the first two seasons and have been really enjoying it. So much so in fact that we're working on some Ultraman themed videos for 2 Earwig songs right now. If we can get the orange jumpsuits and space helmets right, we’ll be all set. Go Science Team Earwig!

Did you ever get into Spectreman? It was very similar (if not exactly the same).
