Ultra Q can be described as a half-hour Toho kaiju film. Although series creator Eiji Tsuburaya intended this series to be more like The Twilight Zone and focus less on the monsters, TBS convinced Eiji to add more monsters onto the show, as Godzilla (Gojira) and Gamera were very popular at the time (the first "Kaiju Boom" was already born). This series predates The X-Files, with continuing characters who investigate strange supernatural phenomena, be they giant monsters, aliens, ghosts, and other assorted calamities. The single best comparison to any American TV show is to The Outer Limits, which in its original form generally featured a monster-of-the-week story. (Source: Wikipedia) Edit Translation

Where it all began

Ultra Q is very much the Japanese equivalent of shows such as The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits. It's full of imaginative concepts and stories that when combined with the excellent production qualities of Eiji Tsuburaya you are left with one of the most unique shows of a lifetime. It's a tremendous blend of classic Tokusatsu science-fiction and horror that despite only being 28 episodes long, still leaves an impact. Of course, Season 2 of the show was long abandoned but naturally developed into the Ultraman series we all know and love today.
