Mill Creek Entertainment is a home video company that was founded in 2002. It has released numerous tokusatsu productions from studios such as Toho, Kadokawa, and Tsuburaya Productions to DVD and Blu-ray in North America. It currently holds the North American home video distribution rights to the Ultra Series and many of Tsuburaya's other tokusatsu series, and has been gradually releasing them to DVD and Blu-ray starting in 2019.

Trivia

  • The DVD of Godzilla: The Series had all 40 episodes in chronological order instead of broadcast order and two episodes that were originally unaired on TV and appear in it for the first time anywhere.
  • Early releases of the DVD set Pop Culture Bento Box accidentally omitted one of its four films, The Little Prince and the Eight-Headed Dragon.
  • Both Shout! Factory's previous 2012 DVD release of Ultraseven and Mill Creek Entertainment's later 2019 Blu-ray release of it are missing episode 12 (of 49), "From Another Planet with Love", which was banned in Japan practically immediately after its premiere (this was because Ultraseven's enemy in this episode, Alien Spell, was labeled as "Hibaku Seijin" ("A-Bomb Survivor Alien") because he physically resembled the hibakusha (survivors of the 1945 atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II), complete with keloid scars. These people have, to this day, been the unfortunate victims of severe fear-based discrimination in Japan in regards to marriage and work prospects and, as a result, the alien and his episode offended them and was regarded to be in poor taste (to the extent that even Tsuburaya Productions' changing the label to "Kyuketsu Uchujin" ("Bloodsucking Alien") didn't satisfy negative public opinion at all), so both of them were eventually pulled from all official publications, TV broadcasts and home video releases, and have not been seen in Japan ever since. However, episode 26, "Super Weapon R-1", which was also banned in Japan much later (this happened after March 2011 and was done mainly because of one part of its story's similarity to the then-recent disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant), is available on both of the aforementioned home video releases and seems to be popular in both Japan and the United States.
