What's your favorite kaiju from Ultraman 80?
I think the first dozen episodes show Takeshi's human side even though he is an Ultra. It also shows the normal life of the casts. If they could have maintained it until episode 50, I think it will have a more lasting impact.
Ultraman Neos and Ultraman 80 are now available on the Toku channel on Amazon Prime
Other series that have been released in Toku will also be included in Amazon Prime soon as Ultraseven X, Ultraman Nexus and Ultraman Max (the latter one in English dub)
Ultraman Cosmos and the anime series The Ultraman will also be released soon on both the television channel and Amazon Prime.
The TOKU channel ends the Ultraman Max series this March 24th, but instead of continuing to broadcast the following series Ultraman Mebius, TOKU premieres this Monday, March 27, the classic series Ultraman 80.

The series has the same Ultraman Max schedule, 2 new episodes from Monday to Friday at 7PM ET. It is not yet known if the series will be broadcast subtitled or will have a surprising dubbing. The premiere has not been officially announced by the channel or the company Olympusat but hopefully they can give more details about it soon.
It is good that TOKU is bringing Ultra Series to the US public, there is the possibility of broadcast new Ultra Series simultaneously with Japan in the near future, that would be epic. You can see more about their programming and cable operators here: www.tokuhd.com
UPDATE: TOKU uploaded a video where they announce the release of Ultraman 80
