Ultraman Return of Ultraman |
Ultraseven(ウルトラセブン,Urutora Sebun)is aJapanesetokusatsuscience fiction television seriescreated byEiji Tsuburaya.It is the third installment in theUltra Seriesand was produced byTsuburaya Productions.The series aired onTokyo Broadcasting Systemfrom October 1, 1967 to September 8, 1968.
Premise
[edit]In the not-too-distant future, Earth finds itself constantly under attack from extraterrestrial threats. To combat them, the Terrestrial Defense Force establishes the Ultra Garrison, a team of six elite members who utilize high-tech vehicles and weaponry. Joining their fight is the mysterious Dan Moroboshi who is secretly an alien from the Land of Light in Nebula M-78 and transforms into his true alien form,Ultraseven,in times of crisis.[2]
Production
[edit]After the success of space-themed science fiction shows such asUltraman,Captain Ultra,and the Japanese broadcast ofLost in Space,Tokyo Broadcasting SystempursuedTsuburaya Productionsto produce another sci-fi series. This ledEiji Tsuburayato assembleHajime Tsuburaya,Akio Jissoji,Tetsuo Kinjo, Masami Sueyasu, and Shoji Otomo to brainstorm ideas.[3]
Eiji Tsuburaya proposed a series that would have been a hybrid ofThunderbirdsandLost in Space,Hajime proposed a newUltramanseries that would have included network and sponsors' input for each season, Jissoji proposed a time-travel themed show which would have focused on a time patrol team and their families, Kinjo proposed a children's horror/mystery show that would have been a hybrid ofUltra QandThe Twilight Zone,Sueyasu proposed a fairy tale-themed series, and Otomo proposed a space-themed series which would have been a cross ofLost in SpaceandMen into Spacefeaturing giant monsters.[3]
TBS eventually settled on a fusion of Eiji's and Otomo's ideas and Eiji submitted a treatment titledThe Ultra Garrison,which featured six trained astronauts (including an android named "John" ) stationed on a satellite called "Mother", the first line of defense against alien invaders. Kinjo felt that the idea was lacking an essential element and suggested adding a superhero.[3]
The treatment underwent massive revisions after TBS felt the idea was too similar toThe Great Space Warand the new version included giant monsters while retaining the original Earth Defense Force element at TBS' request.[3]TBS eventually suggested to make the series a direct sequel toUltramanand have it focused on Hayata and Fuji's son, who would be able to call upon Earth monsters for help and only transform into Ultraman in times of desperation.[4]
Tetsuo Kinjo began working on an outline, combining elements of TBS' best ideas and his own, such as elements from his rejected proposalWoo,which featured an alien unwittingly becoming a savior of mankind. Kinjo's outline was titledUltra Eyeand featured Dan Moroboshi being the son of a human and an alien, with Dan coming to Earth in search of his mother. This version also featured Capsule Monsters that Dan would have used when he could not transform. Originally, monsters fromUltra QandUltramanwere going to be used as the Capsule Monsters in order to cut down production costs.[5]
Tohru Narita was assigned to design the aliens, monsters, and vehicles. Narita's design for Ultraseven was inspired byMayanculture and originally chose silver and blue for the colors, but changed them to silver and red to avoid problems with the blue-screen matte process.[6]Principal photography on the special effects began in May 1967 and casting began in June 1967. Many of the actors hired were chosen fromToho's acting pool, since the studio was one of the financial investors for Tsuburaya Productions.[7]Yoji Hashimoto and Toshimichi Miwa were put in charge of duties with TBS for the show, while Eiji Tsuburaya served as the chief producer and supervisor for the show and Masami Sueyasu reprised his role as a hands-on producer for Tsuburaya Productions.[8]
Four episodes were completed before copyright was approved for the show's title, which was changed toUltraseven.The show was filmed silent, a common practice for Japanese shows at the time, and post-production, including editing and voice dubbing, began in September 1967. Toru Fuyuki was hired to compose the soundtrack, gearing towards a more classical direction as opposed to the jazz-inspired direction Kunio Miyauchi took for theUltramansoundtrack.[9]
Ultrasevenaired on October 1, 1967 and earned a 33.7% rating, an achievement at the time.[9]Due to the show's high ratings, TBS ordered an additional 10 episodes during preparations for the show's thirdCours(episodes 27-39). Despite ratings dropping during the final weeks,Ultrasevenstill remained in the top five highest rated shows in Japanese television at the time.[10]
Sequels for bothUltraman,titledUltraman Continues,andUltraseven,titledFight! Ultraseven,were proposed, but Tsuburaya Productions would not produce anotherUltraseries until 1971, withReturn of Ultraman.[10]
Cast
[edit]- Kohji MoritsuguasDan Moroboshi/Ultraseven:Spelled as "Dan Moroboshe" in the Cinar English dub.[11]Ultraseven borrows the look of Jiroh Satsuma and transforms into his true alien form using the Ultra Eye ( "Task Mask" in the Cinar dub). At the time of the show's production, Moritsugu was married and poor. This was kept secret in order to publicize Moritsugu as a rising young heartthrob.[8]

Banned episode
[edit]The 12th episode, titled "From Another Planet with Love", was banned due to Alien Spell (which hadkeloidscars) being labeled as "Hibaku Seijin" (A-Bomb Survivor Alien) which was lifted from the term "hibakusha", referring to the survivors of theatomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.The issue was featured on an article of theAsahi Shimbunnewspaper, which sparked public outrage and forced Tsuburaya Productions to change the name to "Kyuketsu Seijin" (Vampire Alien). Despite this, Tsuburaya Productions still received negative public opinion and as a result, Tsuburaya pulled the alien character and episode from official publications, broadcasts and home media releases. However, the Hawaiian English dub and Cinar dub of the series broadcast the episode (which was re-titled "Crystallized Corpuscles" ) in North America.[17]
English versions
[edit]In 1985,Turner Program Serviceslicensed the series in a 15-year contract from Tsuburaya Productions, who provided the English dubbed versions produced in Honolulu by Tsuburaya-Hawaii, Inc. in the mid-1970s. Finding this English version to be lacking, Turner commissioned the Canadian children's programming production house,Cinar,to dub all 49 episodes for run in syndication.[18]The TPS/Cinar produced episodes featured new opening and closing credits, eyecatches, new episode names, and even a change of name for the character of Anne Yuri, who was dubbed as "Donna Michibata". Cinar edited the episodes for violence, language and commercial time and featured new music cues.
Unsatisfied with Cinar's resultant work, Turner put the series into their vaults until 1994, when they were alerted that the episodes were never broadcast.Ultrasevenwas dusted off for the "Toons 'Til Noon" and "MonsterVision"blocks onTNT.The "Toons 'Til Noon" broadcasts received substantially heavy editing to make them suitable for the time slot, while the "MonsterVision" broadcasts were the full-length Cinar adaptations. Episodes 3 and 5-7 were missing or mislabeled and were never broadcast. Clips from the series were later used in the "Messages from Space" and "Vacation Spots Around the Universe" segments on the animated variety showCartoon Planet,which aired onTBSandCartoon Network.When the contract expired in 2001, Turner returned all the materials (film elements, videotapes, audio masters) to Tsuburaya Productions.[17]
