Ultra Q (1966)

Where it all began

Ultra Q is very much the Japanese equivalent of shows such as The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits. It's full of imaginative concepts and stories that when combined with the excellent production qualities of Eiji Tsuburaya you are left with one of the most unique shows of a lifetime. It's a tremendous blend of classic Tokusatsu science-fiction and horror that despite only being 28 episodes long, still leaves an impact. Of course, Season 2 of the show was long abandoned but naturally developed into the Ultraman series we all know and love today.
