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.
- Just like Shout! Factory's previous 2012 DVD release of Ultraseven, Mill Creek Entertainment's 2019 Blu-ray release of it is also missing its banned-in-Japan 12th episode, "From Another Planet with Love" (it was banned because Ultraseven's foe in the episode, Alien Spell, physically resembled survivors of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II).
- A second Ultraseven episode that was banned in Japan, the 26th episode "Super Weapon R-1" (it was banned in 2011 because of its relating to the then-recent Fukushima nuclear disaster), however, has been included in both the 2012 U.S. DVD release and the 2019 U.S. Blu-ray release.
