Huge comments! Wow! Thanks Fredda!
Ah, no, not Shaider, was this Spectreman. That was so bad, but so funny!

Ultraman (and its close relative, the superhero MAGMAMAN) were the highlights of my childhood life (yes they were shown weekly in the Philippines then, dubbed in Filipino)… I even collected tons of cards then… and now that I’m 24 I really really wish I kept a few of those! the cards were amazing and beautifuL!
so thanks a lot Bibi, seeing them now made me appreciaTe them aLL the more. before seeing these, my memorY of Ultraman was same as y0urs- very campy and not aestheticaLLy commeNdabLe.
the Japanese were always ahead when it c0mes to these things and it w0uLd always be a couPle of years later that the Americans would catch on and imitate them…

Yep. I saw Ultraman, but my favourite was one called “Spetroman”. I don’t know if it has the same name in English, but it was very funny, and very bad for nowadays. The vilan was a monkey with a blond hair always doing some stupid movements. That’s my memory about it.

Never saw Ultraman as a kid I’m much older of course, not than Ultraman, but than you. There are lots of cool and funny clips of Ultraman, fighting different monsters, to be found at YouTube. Fun stuff!
