The premise

Ultraman Max was an Ultraman TV series which started airing on 7 July 2005, and produced by Tsuburaya Productions and Chubu-Nippon Broadcasting Co., Ltd.. The show tried to return to the true formula of new monsters every week and being a fast paced show like previous series with the exception of Ultraman Nexus. The show is full of homages to past series by having three of the original cast members from the first Ultraman series being featured in an episode, updated versions of classic monsters like Red King, Eleking and Pigmon among others. One unusual episode revolves around the filming of the 1964 program Ultra Q which was the predecessor to the first Ultraman show in 1966. Two actors from that show appear as themselves.

Horror Vault's take

Ultraman Max is a fast-paced tokusatsu series that pits Earth's heroic giant defender against a relentless parade of classic and all-new kaiju threats. Produced by Tsuburaya Productions, it lovingly reconnects with the roots of the long-running Ultraman franchise, reviving iconic monsters in updated form and celebrating the series' decades-long legacy. Fans of the original 1966 show will find knowing winks and returning faces woven throughout, while newcomers get a clean, energetic entry point into the world of giant hero vs. giant monster action.
