I purchased this triple feature on the likely chance that I would enjoy the films, as they were made by the same studio responsible for the classic Gamera series, which I dearly love. Add to that, many of the Gamera effects artists also lent their considerable talents to the Daimajin films. To my surprise, their efforts here often outshine those of the beloved fire-breathing tortoise. As for the film's themselves, the production design, pacing, plot and characters are all above par, especially for a modestly-budgeted fantasy. As opposed to the Gamera series, the Daimajin films are clearly not aimed at the juvenile set, and are actually somewhat somber in tone. Unlike most films to feature an over-sized protagonist, the Daimajin series does not contain wall-to-wall mayhem. When chaos does ensue, I'd say there's a fair chance you WON'T be disappointed. Not much more can be said of these unique films without delving into spoiler territory. Fans of classic kaiju are almost certain to enjoy them, but I can't imagine anyone who appreciates thoughtful cinema not enjoying them equally as well.Read full review
This is the best looking versions of these classic Japanese films that I have ever seen. A combination of period costume drama and Giant Monster Genera. Majin is a giant God statue that comes to life anytime the people are being mistreated by there lords. The special effects are better than most movies of this type and the story's are interesting. This set includes all three films in hi-def and in Japanese with English subtitles. There is a special bonus feature on the discs of an interview with cinematographer Fujio Morita, Behind the scenes and Japanese trailers for all three films. Released by the budget minded Mill Creek and very reasonably priced, this is a must have set for all Japanese Giant Monster Fans. If you have the ADV 3 disc set and have not upgraded yet, now is the time to do so. You can get this brand new for under $10.00.Read full review
Since it was out of print people gouge you on the price but this was reasonable then two days after I purchased it a collector box set is being released much cheaper than these for sale on eBay so always keep your eyes open for deals

I’ve heard of these movies, but I’ve never actually seen them. I like the Daimajin movie. Can’t wait to watch the rest. Also, great shipping speed and packaging.
