Another 1970's live action treasure of a show, this is the second release from BCI the third being the forthcoming Silver Mask. If you grew up on Ultraman or Johnny Sokko you should enjoy this outing-better yet show it to your kids and share the love with the next generation. Suitable for all ages

Fans of ULTRAMAN and similar Japanese TV series could scarcely go wrong by picking this up. RED BARON is a well-made and quite action-packed series that plays like a melding of ULTRAMAN and ASTRO BOY. As a series, it kicks the tar out of BCI's previous IRON KING set (not that IK was terrible) and is very well thought of in Japan. Buy THE SUPER ROBOT RED BARON and see why. There is even a cameo appearance by none other than Snoopy! BCI/Eclipse is doing a great service to tokusatsu fans by making shows such as RED BARON available in the US. I'll certainly be getting their next set, SILVER MASK, but would like to see more ULTRAMAN series...let's hope. Before I forget: as usual for BCI, the video quality here is excellent.

Super Robot Red Baron.
This is some classic giant sized action here. The Series follows the hero Ken and the members of SSI (streriotypical superhero investigation team) as they fight mad scientists, alien invaders, evil computers, and, of course, an army of Super Robots.
Fans of Big O might notice some fishy similarities in the way the Red Baron fires his beam weapon to the way Big-O fired his Chrome Buster.
A must have for Toku-hero fans.

I got this earlier in this year, and from the first episode I was taken by surprise at the the quality of the series. I really, really like this and I don't regret getting it. It is superior to the Johnny Sokko and His Giant Robot series. I am amused and very entertained as a tokusatsu fan. You won't regret this purchase.

I missed this one the first time around, and am discovering it now on DVD. Great fun, solid adventure for Japanese Giant Robot adventure fans. My only complaint is that there is no dubbing and the packaging leaves a lot to be desired. Fun fun fun

Hi everybody, if you like old Japanese Sentai shows like Kamen Rider or Robot Detective Kikaider, be sure to pick up Red Baron. The picture quality is acceptable for a show over 30 years old but the entertainment value is fantastic. Brings back childhood memories for fans of Japanese sci-fi TV. I hope Mach Baron will also be released.

I enjoyed everymoment of this show. The walking pings were a bit anoying but the plot line was solid. The songs are catchy. Its a good premis overall. It seems outdated by todays standards but thats a part of its char. it is worth geting this Toku-series.
Just a bit of warning though, its english subtitled, not dubed.

This, along with the Iron King collection, is a must own for anybody out there how has any inkling of enjoyment for the man-in-the-rubber-monster-suit. Even if you don't watch it, or have the time to for that matter. Just put it in the collection. This is the kind of show that you put on during a rainy day, and you'll have a smile on your face the whole time. Charming and fun. Good job on this release.

when i saw this for the first time it took me back to the begining of super heroes red baron in my eyes is agreat show
