Ultra Seven celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2017, and who better to celebrate it with than Koji Moritsugu, who starred on the series as Dan Moroboshi, the human form of Ultra Seven. Moritsugu-san held another event at his restaurant, and for the first time in a long time, the timing worked out in my favor.

Because there was no other guest (as there usual are at the shindigs), the focus was on the fans to ask questions of Moritsugu-san. When my turn came, I asked him whom he thought was the best director on Ultra Seven. He answered that Kazuho Mitsuta was the best. However, he said that Akio Jissoji was also quite good, even though he was a bit strange!

It was another fun evening at Moritsugu-san's restaurant with many friendly people. I hope it's not another several months before I'm able to return!
