So, Ultraman Hayata: The Lost Films is a fascinating deep dive into a somewhat obscure corner of the Ultraman universe. You get these pre-release lost films, all captured on 8mm, which gives it this raw, almost grainy quality that brings a certain nostalgia. The pacing varies, with some segments feeling like they’re really trying to stretch the action, while others capture those quick bursts of excitement we expect from Ultraman. The atmosphere is a blend of 70s kitsch and earnest storytelling, which is kind of charming. The practical effects, though limited, really show the creativity of the time. And while the director's name might be a mystery, the performances do have a certain earnestness that makes it a unique watch for collectors who appreciate the history behind these lost gems.
