Episodes
AvailabilityThe series has never been rebroadcast or released on home media since its first rerun after its original run. It is rumored that because the show was shot on video instead of film, the network (Nippon TV) accidentally reused the master tapes for another program and over-recorded the original footage, making the series lost media. A brief, 1 and a half minute clip was recovered from a domestic Betamax tape, but has not been released publicly. LegacyMost of the kaiju from this series were later reused in Toho’s Ike! Greenman. |
