YMMV / Tsuburaya Dinosaur Trilogy

• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: While the series had a decent following in Japan, some of the entries were incredibly popular in Italy (which managed to air the complete series), Taiwan (Born Free), the Middle East (Born Free-Izenborg), South Korea (Izenborg), Hong Kong (Izenborg) and China (Koseidon). In fact, an Izenborg documentary was co-produced by Saudi Arabia (whose Arabic producer explicitly wanted the documentary's tribute to be as close as possible to the original), and a Koseidon film was almost made in China before the rights expired.
• So Bad, It's Good: The series is a mix of anime and Tokusatsu from the late 70's. First, the villain is a talking T-Rex, which tries to take over the world. Add to that the no budget animation, laughably bad live SFX, backgrounds made from photographs that never match the perspective the characters are drawn and ridiculous storylines with cringe inducing dialogue. To top it off, each Monster of the Week will meet a gruesome end, usually getting some limbs hacked off by the eponymous mecha's saw blades. In short, it's hilarious!
