This is actually the sort of show that kids love even now, with grown adults in kaiju costumes running around after being introduced by an actor calling himself Eiji Tsuburaya (the real one shows up later in the show) and a quarter of strapping youngish men singing the (then new) Ultraman song, while standing awkwardly on a flight of stairs. Then the Ultra Q crew show up (they'd had a full Ultraman-less season before this, so the audience already knows them) before the man of the hour makes his first appearance (human sized, of course). Choreographed hijinks ensue. Then they all introduce themselves, at which point the kids' attention is completely gone.
It's essentially a half hour commercial for the new show ("starting on July 17!" as the psuedo-Tsuburaya tells us from the start), and at times it's really cute, such as when a trio of kaiju thieves show up to...well, steal the kaiju! The choreographed fight sequence is about what you'd expect, just as the sound of kids talking loudly over the actors' trying to introduce themselves is equally expected. That being said, the reaction shots of the kids, and hearing them shout things like "You can do it!" and "Beat them up!" (or something like that), are really fun. It's almost enough to make you want to watch the new show premiering on July 17. Almost.
