        T²C² (TongueToCheekCelluloid) Ultraman is a send off to Japan's 1950's and '60:s iconic Toho Co. /Honda written & directed Monster films . I love these littie easter egg nuggets ....such as The USS Enterprise dryly sat in several scenes , undoubtedly as a tribute to George Takei from Star Trek .. If you ever wondered who that guy was who translated Japanese into English and sounded almost too American in those classic Japanese monster films, that was a very young George , well before he was trained as a Helmsman . I believe he was still in school for some of that . But this is just one example of the subtle humor, the shots at politics, power , the balance of power and all these subjects that were handled with humor . I appreciate well written films in these times of formulas , big production and safe, lack of originality in execution. And this is a well written film absolutely worth checking out

        Basically the first season is the journey of a reluctant hero. The highlight of the first season is the simmering Dan Moroboshi. There's nothing better on TV today than watching him get annoyed with Shin and basically tell him he's a pampered dirtbag as he adjusts aliens with his katana. I heartily recommend S01E06 when Ultraseven makes his debut.

        Meh. This was more of an Avengers "Iron Man" than Ultraman for me. First 2 or 3 episodes were good, but downhill or anti climactic or silly from there. Mostly I liked just that Moribishi was a consistently complete jerk lol.

        Great story, good pace and great animation! I love the voice-acting and the art style as well! The characters are all quite memorable. As serious as the show can be sometimes, they make some pretty funny moments too.once again, top notch story telling!

        Episode 8 ruined it for me. It was okay up until then (sure, it had problems, but ignorable). But, bad guy effortlessly evades, provokes, threatens and kills... and then stops a hard charging Ultraman, who finally had enough, by telling him to calm down?! And then the oration, that the blade wielding Ultraman (against character) permits!

        I almost never watch anime but being a fan of the original when I was in grade school I was really curious. The animation is great and the show pays appropriate homage to the original while taking it in a new direction. Subtract one star for characters not as developed as I would like although maybe that is the anime style. UM is human sized and that is necessary for the story but still I miss the 50 foot version of him.

        An exciting continuation of the original Ultraman show based on the manga. Fight scenes are smooth, packed with so much adrenaline. The design for the ultramen and villains are awesome. Decent storyline.

        The new breed of Ultraman is like a Iron-man wearing top of the armor. Im more curious know more about the supporting characters like Bemular, Seiji Hotuko aka Ultraman Edo which btw he really reminds me of Flash Slothmore from Zootopia in terms of sluggishness in talking, hihihihi. The graphics especially the fight scenes looks great.Thanks to the 3DCG technology that gives the series an almost real viewing experience like a live-action show.

        He not a giant it made me mad at Netflix
