Mobile Giant Line Earthlock (1-3)

DDL | Archive

2018-ongoing(?). The long overdue sequel to the original Line, made for the show’s 30th anniversary. Gone are the big muscles, 80s hair and Ramboism of the original. Arguably more child friendly and shot in HD instead of VHS, the new Line seems to act as a local hero for the city of Atami. Several of the old cast members reappear, including our well-respected former Ultraman Eiichi Kikuchi (who’s almost 80 at this point!), and the special FX have of course retained their retro aethetics.

Line the Barbarian (2010 Remastered)

Released by Magical Face in 2010. I posted this series before, but this is the remastered version, also called the “director’s cut”. Notable differences: The image has been modified to fit modern widescreen televisions, it features additional scenes and removes others for pasting, and it’s presented in a movie format rather than a show with individual episodes.
