Now Viewing: redmanTag type: Copyright レッドマン A live action TV series that ran from April 3, 1972 to September 8, 1972. It was created by Tsurabaya Productions, directed by Andou Tatsumi, starred Kusumi Kin'ichi and scored by Yamashita Takeo. It is notably a tokusatsu superhero action story that is stripped down to just its hero vs monster fights with the original series providing virtually no clear context, outside of supplementary material that states the eponymous character is a peace loving alien that protects humanity from spirits that can resurrect kaiju, for any of the fights. Human faces are never shown throughout the series and the on screen performers consist of only the suit actors for Redman and the kaiju. The show's budget was also small with many of the monster suits being recycled from the Ultra_(series). Each episode is also only five minutes long with the episodes ending immediately after the fight's conclusion. The lack of context has inspired audience members to come up with their own interpretation of the series' events with the most popular interpretation being that Redman is actually a blood-thirsty kaiju hunter. This interpretation has made its way into an official comic book adaptation, Redman: The Kaiju Hunter which was released on November 23, 2017 and written by Matt Frank.
