It took a while for me to get into Ultraman as a kid, despite being an established Godzilla/Gamera fan. Mill Creek and Shout Factory have been doing a very good job bringing over a lot of the franchise's titles now*; and while I've fallen behind on their releases, I'm very happy to see Ultraman getting more of the awareness and coverage it deserves.
*I do lament some of Mill Creek's latest releases reverting to DVD instead of Blu-ray, but I don't know how much of that is on them rather than Tsuburaya's requirements.

It's the materials Tsuburaya's given Mill Creek. One of the things that Mill Creek is a tad infamous for is that they're completely uninterested in doing anything meaningful to the materials they get. Note the really bad subtitles for Gridman. They aren't quite as bad as S'More Entertainment (Mill Creek will at least like...put subtitles on and won't just sit there going "it's too much effort, just put the scripts on the disc as PDFs"). But in general, if Mill Creek does a DVD of a Tsuburaya thing, it's because there is no blu-ray available, even in Japan.
(Yes, they did put a lot of effort into Quantum Leap, but that was one of their perennial best sellers. They've got a lot of blu-rays that look real janky because stuff like, say, the Dinotopia miniseries, they were given materials that are technically HD, but not really, and the result is a blu-ray that barely looks any different from the DVD and Mill Creek doesn't care enough to bother rectifying that or finding out if anything's up with that.)
