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.

To say this anime is bad is an understatement. The animation is clunky, the characterization is wafer thin, and the plot is ridiculous even by the standards of 80s anime. The dubbed version is even worse, despite the efforts of at least two talented voice actors, one of them from RANMA 1/2. Even the robot guards sound like bored surfer dudes. The only good things about it are the soundtrack, which sounds like it was composed by the same people who did TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE, and the fact that every other scene has characters talking rapturously about coffee. I mean, these people are addicted. Try a drinking game in which you have to take a shot whenever anyone mentions coffee, and you'll be drunk within the first twenty minutes.
