IT'S A DAMNED GOOD TIME TO BE A TOKUSATSU FAN! MILL CREEK DEBUTS TWO MORE ULTRAMAN TV SERIES ON BLU-RAY DISC!
Having already released the two shows that started the neverending Ultraman phenomenon (i.e. ULTRA Q and ULTRAMAN), Mill Creek just released two of the newer Ultraman TV series (and feature-length films) onto Blu-ray, namely ULTRAMAN GEED and ULTRAMAN ORB. This is the first time both series have been available (legitimately) in North America, and I'm super excited to check them out! While I am a bit disappointed that Mill Creek didn't do Steelbook releases for GEED and ORB, I'm honestly just happy I can finally add them to my collection! Let's take a closer look at these modern Ultra-shows, shall we Vault Dwellers?!
ULTRAMAN GEED (2017) & ULTRAMAN GEED: CONNECT THE WISHES (2018)
Series Synopsis: This is a story of a hero who inherits the genes of the evil Ultraman Belial. Despite suffering from repeating setbacks and despair of knowing the secret of his birth and cruel fate, Ultraman Geed never loses sight of friendship and strong will to become a true hero. The story unfolds through the spiritual growth of the protagonist who seeks for the meaning of his own life and finds the place where he belongs, through fighting against evil and his own cursed destiny, to become a hero of justice
Movie Synopsis: Gigantic Mechanical Brain Gillvalis and the Galactron Army, intent on wiping out all intelligent lifeforms in the universe, close in on Earth. Riku Asakura heads for Okinawa, where there are said to be clues to the “Red Steel” sought by Gilbaris. There, Riku encounters Ail, who realizes that he is Ultraman and assigns him an important mission. Meanwhile, the Galactron Army begins attacking Okinawa in search of the “Red Steel.” Ultraman Geed, Orb, and Zero rush to Earth, but Geed’s hasty actions in sticking to his mission put the Ultraman team in even more danger in ULTRAMAN GEED: CONNECT THE WISHES!
