Definitely a bit biased coming from an Ultraman fan prior to this anime, but I feel like Netflix's Ultraman filled a void that the franchise was lacking for a long time, which was an anime. This is the first Ultraman anime in a while and I think that it did a good job at being an Ultraman anime. The concept of Earth becoming more involved with interstellar relations is very refreshing for an Ultraman series. No longer is it 'ALIEN BAD' but rather that we are shown both sides of alien races, much like Men In Black. But what Ultraman is here for is theaction, which is very good here, I would say. The 3D is very smooth during the fight scenes and the choreography is that much better because this has none of the limits that practical effects have, unleashing a human sized Ultraman's full potential. Along with amazing sound design, these moments really did send chills down my spine.

In the end, Ultraman is and always will be a show that shows up and delivers your daily dose of monsters, explosions and laser beams. Characters and story are sometimes great, but never expected. And I feel like this show fits that role perfectly.
