We have seen deluxe Blu-ray sets for UltraQ, Ultraman, The Return of Ultraman, Ultraman Geed, Ultraman Orb, Ultraman X. Than we have seen the best of Ultraman Battle Kaiju Series 01, Ultraman Battle Kaiju Series 02 and The UltraSeven 55th Anniversary set! Mill Creek Entertainment have been making physical media kaiju fans dreams come true with these releases. But a new month brings us another new Ultraman Blu-ray set. This time it is The complete series and movie of UltramanTaiga.
Ultraman Taiga The Complete Series: Earth has been immigrated by aliens secretly, but this fact is only known by a handful of people. In a society like this, Hiroyuki Kudo starts working in a private security organization called “E.G.I.S. (Enterprise of Guard and Investigation Service)”. The organization deals with incidents involving aliens, where Hiroyuki works day and night for peace. However, there is a big secret hidden in him: he carries Ultraman Taiga’s particles of light inside his body. A new story begins when Ultraman Taiga awakens from Hiroyuki’s body!
Ultraman Taiga The Movie: New Generation Climax: Hiroyuki Kudo, working at the private security organization E.G.I.S, has the power to transform into 3 Ultra Heroes, Taiga, Titas, and Fuma. Battling and defeating many enemies together, the bond between Hiroyuki and Taiga has deepened. However, someone has been targeting Hiroyuki. Noticing this, the New Generation Heroes come together to save him. Hikaru, Sho, Daichi, Gai, Riku, Katsumi, Isami, and even Taiga’s father Ultraman Taro has all come down to Earth. However, Ultraman Taro violently attacks his son Taiga. What happened to Taro? Will Taiga be able to fight against his father!? The New Generation Heroes now stand together to confront a bigger, darker power!
While this is a new series and movie, the spirit of classic Ultraman is all over this collection. We see Ultraman Taiga, Ultraman Titus, Ultraman Fuma, Ultraman Taiga Photon-Earth, Ultraman Taiga Tri-Strium, Ultraman Tregear in this collection. The action is great, the acting is good and the monster are awesome as always. It is so cool seeing Ultraman live on even after all these years.
This Blu-ray set has 4 disc. The first 3 discs contain 7 episodes each of the series. Than the 4th disc includes the final 4 episodes of the series and the movie. These episodes and movie has been transferred to Blu-ray in 1080p and are presented in 1.78:1 aspect ratio. The audio is a Japanese DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0. There English subtitles so that you can follow the story if you don't understand Japanese.
Mill Creek Entertainment's transfer of these episodes and movie to Blu-ray look great. You might think 7 episodes a disc is too much. But these are less than a half and hour each episode. So you are talking a little over 2 and a half hours a Blu-ray discs. That is more than enough space. These episodes and movie are crisp and clean with no signs of digital artifacts.
Now as a special bonus Mill Creek Entertainment added a booklet with all the information about Ultraman Taiga and full episode guides with synopsis for each episode. There is a gorgeous slipcover, additional artwork on the inside of the Blu-ray insert and an Ultraman game card for the new Ultraman Game coming Fall 2024. Mill Creek Entertainment really went above and beyond with this Blu-ray set!
If there is one thing that I could change about this set, it would be that I would love to have an English dub for this series. As a huge Godzilla fan. I grew up on the bad English dubs of those films and they are so cool, even after all these years. That would make this collection better. But this set it pretty amazing anyway!
So if you love Ultraman and you have been enjoying the releases that Mill Creek Entertainment have been putting out. You need Ultraman Taiga in your Collection. Head over to Deep Discount and order your copy today. You won't be disappointed!
