*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), "[[wikia:w:c:ultra:From Another Planet with Love|From Another Planet with Love]]", which was banned in [[Japan]] practically immediately after its premiere (this was because Ultraseven's enemy in this episode, [[wikia:w:c:ultra:Alien Spell|Alien Spell]], was labeled as "Hibaku Seijin" ("A-Bomb Survivor Alien") because he physically resembled the ''[[wikipedia:Hibakusha|hibakusha]]'' (survivors of the [[wikipedia:Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki|1945 atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki]] during [[wikipedia:World War II|World War II]]), complete with [[wikipedia:Keloid|keloid scar]]s. These people have, to this day, been the unfortunate victims of [[wikipedia:Hibakusha#Discrimination|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, "[[wikia:w:c:ultra:Super Weapon R-1|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 [[wikipedia:Fukushima nuclear disaster|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]].
*Like [[Shout! Factory]]'s 2012 DVD release of ''Ultraseven'', Mill Creek Entertainment's 2019 Blu-ray release of the series is missing episode 12, "[[wikia:w:c:ultra:From Another Planet with Love|From Another Planet with Love]]", which has been under a self-imposed ban by [[Tsuburaya Productions]] since 1970. The villainous aliens in this episode, [[wikia:w:c:ultra:Alien Spell|Alien Spell]], were labeled as "Hibaku Seijin" ("A-Bomb Survivor Aliens") in some supplementary materials such as books and trading cards, reflecting their origin from a planet devastated by nuclear war. They also possessed [[wikipedia:Keloid|keloid scar]]s. Survivors of the [[wikipedia:Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki|1945 atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki]], known as ''[[wikipedia:Hibakusha|hibakusha]]'', protested the characters and the episode, leading to its withdrawal. However, it was dubbed into English by both the University of Hawaii and Cinar.

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.
  • Like Shout! Factory's 2012 DVD release of Ultraseven, Mill Creek Entertainment's 2019 Blu-ray release of the series is missing episode 12, "From Another Planet with Love", which has been under a self-imposed ban by Tsuburaya Productions since 1970. The villainous aliens in this episode, Alien Spell, were labeled as "Hibaku Seijin" ("A-Bomb Survivor Aliens") in some supplementary materials such as books and trading cards, reflecting their origin from a planet devastated by nuclear war. They also possessed keloid scars. Survivors of the 1945 atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, known as hibakusha, protested the characters and the episode, leading to its withdrawal. However, it was dubbed into English by both the University of Hawaii and Cinar.
