Ultra Seven

Ultra Seven (ウルトラセブン Urutora Sebun) is a Japanese tokusatsu science fiction television series created by Eiji Tsuburaya. Ultra Seven is the third installment in the Ultra series and was produced by Tsuburaya Productions and aired on Tokyo Broadcasting System from October 1, 1967 to September 8, 1968.

Dubbing History
The series was first dubbed by Commercial Recording in Hololulu, Hawaii and aired back in 1975, on Hawaii's KHON-TV channel. According to the existing information, all episodes were dubbed and broadcast. However, due to the age of the dub, and the fact that recording TV wasn't very easy at that time, only three episodes are known to still exist of this dub: Episodes 21, 22, and 35. Tsuburaya is still believed to be in possession of the entire dub as a handful of recent Blu Ray releases of Ultraseven have featured bonus features containing audio of this dub sampled from several otherwise lost episodes, including the series finale.

The second English dub of Ultra Seven is far more well-known. Finding the original English version to be lacking, Turner commissioned the Canadian children's programming production house, Cinar, to dub all 49 episodes for run in syndication. This version of the dub features new opening and closing credits and new eyecatchs.

Unsatisfied with Cinar's resultant work, Turner put the series into their vaults until 1994, when they were alerted that the episodes were never broadcast. The series was then broadcast on Toons 'Till Noon and MonsterVision blocks on TNT. However, between 1985 and 1994, Episodes 5-7 were missing or mislabeled and were never broadcast. When the contract expired in 2001, Turner returned all the materials (film, tapes, masters) to Tsuburaya Productions. While this dub can be found online, it has received no official release.
